This doesn’t feel real as I’m typing it, but the PS5 released over five years ago. I am one of the lucky ones that has had a console since launch day, and I’ve played through a lot of different games in the last five years.
Some games were simply fun to play or made me laugh with friends, but didn’t stick with me after the credits rolled (if I made it to the credits). And then, some games consumed my thoughts and made me want to stay up way too late or abandon all my responsibilities to play them, thanks to mesmerizing worlds, gripping stories, and/or addictive combat.
Luckily, there are some highly rated gems I still haven’t played yet (top of list is Astro Bot), but the 12 titles below will always be some of my favorite games.
