The PS5 is four years old this year and a few games have now been released. But which games are really next gen? A Reddit user who received some recommendations from the community under his post also asked himself this question.
The PS5 was released on November 19, 2020 and many games have been released since then. But to this day, many games are also released on the PS4, which is why the question often arises: Which game is really next gen?
That’s what user Man_mannly asked on Reddit in the post What games truly PUSH the PS5? published, under which many players gave their recommendations.
What aspects do users relate to? It is important to note that these are purely recommendations based on the experiences of the players. There are no deep, technical analyzes that show which game needs which performance or which game is technically the most impressive.
Players especially like the PS5-exclusive games
Which games are frequently mentioned? One game that is often mentioned is the remake of Demon’s Souls by Bluepoint, who had previously remade Shadow of the Colossus. Frequencykenneth writes that Demon’s Souls is a truly beautiful game. When he started the new edition for the first time, he admired the surroundings for a while. Demon’s Souls is particularly notable because it is a launch title for the console.
One of the newest features of the PS5 controller is the adaptive triggers, which allow you to define a different resistance depending on the weapon or action in the game. According to kylozen101020, Returnal in particular uses this feature like no other game. Helldivers 2 is also praised for its sensible use of adaptive triggers.
Another popular candidate is Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. The game offers many next-gen features such as ray tracing or the imperceptible loading times of the titular portals. For user OpieMushroom, Rift Apart was a great experience:
I think Ratchet and Clank A Rift Apart impressively demonstrated the capabilities of the PS5. […] It looks great, sounds great, and plays great mechanically. The ray tracing is really well implemented. The feel is solid. The action scenes and the visual variety are on a blockbuster level.

In addition to Rift Apart, many players also mention Marvel’s Spiderman 2, also a game from Insomniac Games. Many of the PS-exclusive games will also come to the PC over time because this has proven profitable for Sony in the past: Sony will soon release more “first-party” titles on Steam that were previously only released for PS5 – in 2022 she a lot of money
Users also mainly mention Sony-exclusive games, such as Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West, but also Final Fantasy 16. Third-party titles worth mentioning are Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and the remake of Dead Space .

From a technical perspective, MeinMMO author Benedikt Schlotmann can also recommend the new PS5 game Stellar Blade: Stellar Blade for the PS5 does one thing perfectly that almost all other AAA titles have failed
