Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Siege of Paris provides more familiar gameplay, but doesn't add much to the well-worn series formula.
Neo: The World Ends with You is filled to the brim with style and charm, but actually playing the game can get tedious sometimes.
Fallout 76: Steel Reign isn't much to shout about by itself, but it offers a good overview of just how far the game has come since its disastrous launch.
Eldest Souls is not a game for the faint of heart. It is a brutal boss rush challenge that will push you to your limit. But its "one more try" hook is seriously addicting.
Pokémon Unite is a fun entry point for those new to the MOBA genre thanks to its short games, but longtime League of Legends or DotA fans will be left unsatisfied.
Subnautica: Below Zero is a solid addition to the survival game genre, delivering a standalone experience that manages to be both cozy and challenging.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD makes a few smart improvements to an excellent game. A cumbersome control scheme still holds it back, however.
Mario Golf Super Rush has plenty of initial charm, but comes up short in terms of content.
Scarlet Nexus is yet another great game from Bandai Namco Studios. Its satisfying combat keeps things interesting, even in the early parts of the story when the plot feels dry. You're in for a great ride with Scarlet Nexus.
Knockout City is a zany take on dodgeball that combines surprisingly deep gameplay with a bright, colorful aesthetic. It's a winning combination.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade leverages the PS5 to make a great game even better, but it's the Intermission DLC where the experience really shines.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the exclusive title the PS5 has been waiting for. With finely tuned gameplay, an ambitious story and terrific production values, it's a high-water mark for the series.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is mostly for the diehard Atlus and JRPG fans.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition brings the original trilogy into one package, with plenty of updates and improvements for each game, especially the original Mass Effect. It's a great way to experience the story again, or play it for the first time.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids is an expansion that plays it safe, delivering the same basic gameplay and structure as the core title.
Resident Evil Village is a wonderfully creepy ride through multiple kinds of horror.
Returnal is an incredible experience, which combines a replayable rogue-lite structure with heart-pounding bullet-hell gameplay.
New Pokémon Snap is a fun experience for diehard fans of the franchise, even though it can often feel monotonous.
MLB The Show 21 is still the best baseball game available by far. But don't buy it expecting a substantial next-gen showcase.
Nier Replicant deserves praise for its clever characters and unorthodox setting, even if the gameplay and level design can get repetitive by the end.
