Metacritic’s Top 5 PlayStation 5 Games so Far
Although the PlayStation 5 is only two years old, it has already been a hit.
Sony’s generation console has a place for must-play exclusives and amazing ports. It also houses stunning remakes and third-party titles. With so many more games in the future, let’s look back at the current offerings.
It takes Two – Hazelight 2021 (88).
In an age when couch co-op has become a more common occurrence, It takes Two is a reminder that there is no greater joy than sitting down with a friend on the sofa and exploring virtual worlds.
Hazelight’s 2021 Game Of The year winner is a dizzying delight filled with clever puzzles, 3D platforming challenges and endless surprises. This game is a must-play for gamers of all skill levels and ages.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – Insomniac Games, 2021 (88)
One the GAMINGbible’s 10/10 first reviews of the decade are Ratchet & Clack: Rift Apart. This video shows off the PlayStation 5’s incredible power.
Amazing alien landscapes are displayed in stunning detail. Insomniac clearly enjoys using the extra weight of the new-gen console to offer more insane guns, enemies and boss battles than ever.

Devil May Cry 5 – Capcom 2020 (89
Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition looks, as you probably already know, exactly the same as the hit 2019 action-game. But, there are some extra bells and whistles that make the game look even more amazing than before. That’s really something.
Devil May Cry5: Special Edition looks, plays, and sounds great on PS5. This is the best way to enjoy a great game.
Disco Elysium – The Final Cut – ZA/UM 2021 (89
Another GAMINGbible10/10, Disco Elysium is the final cut of ZA/UM’s acclaimed detective thriller. There isn’t much I can say about this game. It’s beautiful throughout and is drenched with an atmosphere of quietly bubbling tensions, which eventually come to a head at the end in one of the best scenes in any videogame, ever.
It’s also the type of game that can kill your character if they are forced to sit in the wrong position. If this doesn’t interest you, I don’t know what will.
Final Fantasy VII Integrate – Square Enix, 2021 (89
Final Fantasy VII-VII Remake Integrate justifies the extra word in the title by adding some great new story content and fan-favourite characters. The base game is also improved with new textures in some areas and a higher resolution and framerate, making battles look even better.
Chadley is still in the game. It’ll remain a minimum of 6/10.
Final Fantasy XIV – Square Enix 2021 (90).
Final Fantasy XIV isn’t the greatest MMORPG, but Endwalker is. Square Enix’s MMORPG is now in its latest major expansion. It does an amazing job wrapping up a decade-long story arc and provides a great jumping-off point for new players.
