The PS5’s launch lineup is hardly rammed with exclusive games, but Miles Morales is a spectacular 10-hour adventure that already shows the the PS5 flexing its considerable graphical muscle, Demon’s Souls might well be one of the best-looking games ever made, and Sackboy and Astro’s Playroom are perfect for Christmas morning. And with several high-profile first-party games confirmed for the first half of next year, given Sony’s hit rate, investing in a PS5 now seems a safe bet. Games look and feel brilliant from day one, long load times are a thing of the past, and the DualSense is the most fascinating controller since the Wii Remote. We just hope developers think about how to make use of it. While its brash, hulking design means the PS5 is possibly going to make a bad first impression with some, spend 10 minutes playing games on one and we think it’ll win anyone over - and then some.
Rock solid 4K/60fps gameplay ; Very fast ; DualSense has huge potential; Astro’s Playroom is some freebie ; Promise of hardware-pushing exclusives;
Storage will fill up very quickly; Divisive looks to say the least; Nothing to match the Xbox Series X’s Quick Resume ;
