With oodles of variety, rewarding combat, and eye-popping cinematic visuals, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly a game worth buying a PlayStation 5 for. It's one of the best action games ever made.
Although the first game received a more substantial upgrade, FRONT MISSION 2: Remake is still a must-have SRPG for fans of the genre and at its core; it remains the superior of the 2 titles despite some minor missteps with the update. 🤖
The Sisters 2 - Road to Fame is a very good follow-up to a silly party game that's much better than you'd expect it to be. Whether you're having fun with friends or taking on the hilarious campaign solo, you're bound to keep a smile on your face with this gem.
SONIC SUPERSTARS surpassed my expectations as I thought it would simply be a fun co-op iteration of the classics. However, its adorable game world, variety of gameplay, assortment of clever challenges, and hidden goodies to find really makes it go above and beyond.
There's a lot to enjoy in Lords of the Fallen, especially with its phenomenal dual-world reality that adds a layer to exploration. Slaying bosses and trekking ahead may not always be a delight but what's here is still very good nonetheless.
Forza Motorsport is a superb racing sim that marks a welcome return to the genre. If you're a gearhead or simply enjoy a more realistic approach to racing then I highly recommend checking it out although those averse to the genre will likely remain unswayed.
You wouldn't expect a game called Bang-On Balls: Chronicles to be as epically fun as it is and I'm very happy that this indie gem exists.
Bilkins' Folly is a lovely game with loads of rewarding puzzles to figure out but being able to progress is often an overly taxing affair.
I loved A Tiny Sticker Tale way more than I thought I would thanks to its distinct gameplay, clever scenarios, and adorable world.
I had a lot of fun with Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra and it's a silly game to play on the TV with friends so you can all find cats together.
I unashamedly love Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs and would easily recommend it to any PSVR2 owner thanks to its super-fun gameplay.
If its gameplay was more fine-tuned, Paperman: Adventure Delivered could have been a great throwback to PS2-era platformers.
Throwing yourself around the complex levels of TOSS! is a great deal of fun but be careful because you can easily hurt your arms.
The combat of RUINSMAGUS: COMPLETE doesn't offer much satisfaction but hanging out in its town is nothing short of delightful.
I wish that Project Wingman: Frontline 59 took a more arcade-like approach to its VR implementation because it feels needlessly limiting.
Crossfire: Sierra Squad is a solid albeit standard military shooter that straddles the line between realistic and arcade a little too safely.
I thoroughly enjoyed the simple action of GAZZLERS with its fun upgrades and roguelike structure but it's ultimately very repetitive.
If you're in the mood for an abstract fast-paced puzzle-filled boss-slaying adventure then you really can't do much better than Cocoon.
Besides a few new unit types and a nifty mode, Wargroove 2 is more of the same but when the core formula is this fun, that's great.
As one of the weirdest games I've ever played, Everhood: Eternity Edition stands tall as a unique and challenging reverse rhythm game.
