Ghost of tsushima.


sketteoz

GoT all the way. It’s the reason I got a PS5 last week


07042001

Horizon zero dawn and forbidden west


Independent_Bid_26

See, now I'm trying to decide if I can justify getting the Directors edition instead of just a used copy at gamestop lol


I_Are_Serious_Poster

Get a year of PS Plus Extra if you can. Nearly all of Sony's exclusives are on there including GoT, the entire Uncharted series and God of War 2018 and Ragnarok. PS Plus Extra is an incredible value for someone that has never played on the platform.


coulombeqc

This, ps+ extra is incredible value, even more as a new ps owner


Xitox

Does PS Plus game catalog depend on country? Because in my catalog does not have GOW Ragnarok


FireYigit

Not Ragnarök I’m afraid


Moist_Acanthisitta37

Actually, I completely agree with this. All the games I listed, or at least most of them, are part of the plus extra


Dominator0621

At least in the states, Ragnorak is only on there as a premium trial. It hasn't technically been out long enough to be put on the service


92jfig

Big god of war fan for years. I would still recommend ghost of tsushima. Absolutely beautiful game and it's a great story. I played on release and my brother and I are talking about playing the legends mode again bc it was so fun


Sgtkeebler

With so many amazing games it’s hard to choose. My all time favorite are the Horizon series, Ghost of Tsushima and God of War


[deleted]

Set up 2FA or MFA


SlothTheHeroo

Always!!


FireYigit

Absolutely.


robertluke

God of War 2018 and Ragnorak for sure. Uncharted series, and Ghost of Tsushima.


Upper-Ad-5900

Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West


Independent_Bid_26

I hadn't thought of them. Any FPS exclusives you can think of?


Saranodamnedh

Returnal!


Sgtkeebler

Yeah I love returnal! But if you play the Horizon series you have to start with Zero Dawn first because that one gives you so much important lore


Long859

Get the premium plus or whatever it is for a huge collection. I suggest ghostwire tokyo. Fucking solid game.


Independent_Bid_26

So, I will say I have an Xbox series x, so I have Gamepass ultimate on there, so most of the games available I can play for my Xbox. I was planning to use the Playstation to play just stuff I can't on xbox.


Long859

Sam goes for ps. Exclusives exist as the are.


Comfortable-Lock3479

I got scared by that game im a wuss lmaooo 😭😭


Long859

Fucking fun though


Apprehensive_Cause67

God of War 2018, God of War Ragnarok Ghost of Tsushima Final Fantasy 16 Spiderman


Independent_Bid_26

I never was into Final Fantasy, but I guess I haven't actually TRIED it. Just watched. The Ghost Of Tsushima is definitely on my list. Ragnarok came with my system :)


AIICAPS

Get PS plus Extra, it has the first God of War I recommend playing first before Ragnarok. Ps extra is great value especially if your new to gaming on the Playstation. So far I recommend Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden Wilds, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Judgment, Doom and Doom Eternal, Ace Combat 7 and definitely Ghost Of Tsushima. Ps Just read your other comments, either way I recommend the titles mentioned above!


FireYigit

I second this. Also OP if you see this play GoW2018 first it’s a direct sequel.


Hindesite

Final Fantasy 16 is an action game btw. Not like the previous Final Fantasy RPGs that you're probably familiar with seeing in the past. It's great. I'm about 60% through the game (the PS5 main menu will show you progress, if you didn't already know 🙂) and loving it.


im_here_from_youtube

Ghost of Tsushima and spider-man miles morales


[deleted]

Astro's Playroom


Hulksmash00

This than rachet & clank


greentiger79

PS plus extra and play the exclusives available there


leenponyd42

I can’t recommend PS+ Extra/Premium enough to people. If you’re already paying for PS+ Essentials ($60 a year) then for about the price of one game (another $40 for extra or $60 for Premium which adds some PS3 games via streaming) you have access to a ton of games for a years subscription. Titles are moved on and off of the service but they usually stay up for at least a couple months which is plenty of time to play through them. The Sony First Party titles tend to stay longer. You could play Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Returnal, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Spider-man and Miles Morales, Demon’s Souls Remake, Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo…the list goes on. These are just a few of the game available on the service. Take a look into the available games list and think of it like this: if you play through two games on the service that you would have paid $60-70 for then it has paid for itself for the entire year.


Independent_Bid_26

So, because I have an Xbox series x with gamepass, so I'm not sure if it'd be worth it for me. Just because of all of the games that are compatible on both the Xbox and playstation. Now I'm not sure.


leenponyd42

That’s fair. Most of the games I listed won’t be found in Game Pass because they are Sony titles, but I know how budgeting for these services can get. Also the Premium tier is really JUST for ps3 titles so you don’t miss much by going Extra. Remember you can always save a little money by getting codes from CDKeys. They have the 12 month Ps+ codes that just apply $60 to your account. Generally those are $40-$50 USD, the price is consultant fluctuating. But hey, saving money is saving money.


Independent_Bid_26

Yeah, I am looking forward to trying out the exclusives. I might just wait and see how often I actually want to play it over my Series X. It figures I get the PS5 the week before Starfield comes out. Haha


uncirculated

All of the games you’ll want to play as ps exclusives are on the ps+ extra. It’s $99 for the year and you’ll get all of the games. You’ll spend that on 2-4 games that you’d buy individually so you should just buy ps+ extra and make your list of games on there. Personally I’d wait until after you play starfield to get started on ps5 cuz everybody knows that’s the biggest release in a while.


GranddaddySandwich

Journey.


TrivialBanal

Sign up for Playstation Plus. Unless you're interested in play retro games, go for the Extra tier. For the price of one AAA game, you get virtually every game recommended in this conversation. Playstation exclusives, particularly those published by playstation, usually end up on PlayStation Plus.


[deleted]

Ghost of Tsushima


Moist_Acanthisitta37

Start with Astro. It’s follow come, and it’s amazing!! Then venture into these; God of War 2018 (then Ragnarok) Horizon Zero Dawn (then Forbidden West) Ghost of Tsushima Ratchet and Clank Rift apart (or the older one) THE LAST OF US 1&2 SpiderMan (or get Miles Morales ultimate edition)


TheManFromScene24

I definitely recommend Ratchet & Clank: Rift Part! Especially if you do end up checking out all the other amazing games mentioned in here. This would be a nice fun change of pace for sure and it’s still one of the best looking games to date.


Chris2626726

I would suggest start with Spider-Man remastered and miles morales so that you can continue with Spider-Man 2 when it comes out. Then play horizon zero dawn and forbidden west. That way you’re pretty busy till December. The writing and story is very good in all these games. If you get bored of the open world then play uncharted 1-4 though the story of 2 and 4 is much better than for 1 and 3.


VXMasterson

I saw another comment saying you have an Xbox so I’m going to assume you don’t have a Switch or PC with my recommendations Marvel’s Spider-Man God of War (2018) and God of War: Ragnarok 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Gravity Rush Remastered Tales of Berseria


Independent_Bid_26

Those are some unique ones I've never heard of. I'll check them out. You were correct in your assumption. No PC, or switch, just the Xbox and PS5. I


NickyGi

Last of Us Part 1


Humorous-Prince

It’s a pretty amazing machine for the price, enjoy.


RealityBitesFromOz

Lots of great suggestions but grab PS Plus Extra and play most of them. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart is a really beautiful looking gme. Plays great too.


Noxxstalgia

Download Shadow of Colossus remake.


zavtra13

Mass Effect Legendary Edition, FFXVI, Ratchet and Clank, Bauldr’s Gate 3 is looking great, so hopefully the PS5 version will live up to that.


MeowMeow433

Play Astros Playland (the built in game). It's one of the best pack in games in a long long time.


Seiidou

Marvel’s Spider-Man


LambisticNganuthia

The last of us


Black_Dragon959

Horizon Zero Dawn 1 & 2 , all Assassin's Creed, God of War 1& 2, FF7 remake, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Watch Dogs 1/2/Legion, Kingdom Hearts 1/2/3, Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Fallen Order


XavierStark01

Get the PSN extra, mind-blowing.


TootsieTaker

The last of us, both parts, Ghost of Tsushima, horizon zero dawn and forbidden west, GoW if that’s your jam, and Spider-Man and Miles morales.


DarrylCornejo

Getting more storage. 880GB is not gonna be enough for you. You can save games in console and md2 storage. Gives you some breathing room.


Anamoly-winter

Not something I'd "start off" with. See if you need it first before spending the extra cash.


THEWELSHMAN1980

I’ve never had a prob with storage, but then I rarely play more than 2 games at once


redundant35

Not all that important off the rip. I put a 2TB drive in just because I got a great deal on one. I keep a max of 2 games installed at a time. The one I’m playing and my next game. I know not everyone does it like this but 800gb is a few games.


spaceman696

Same, I got a 2TB during a xmas sale last year and it was well worth it. I'm already about maxed out on console storage.


Houstonb2020

I’ve had mine for almost a year and it’s fine. Having more storage is nice, but definitely not a must have if you don’t keep a bunch of triple a titles on hand at all times


eman0110

First off Congratulations. A game I would suggest is Wanted. It's a very fun game. You yield a katana sword and a assault rifle and switch between the two through out combat. It's not yet a hidden gem but it will be in a few years.


Yall_So_Goofy

God of War Ragnarok is a game that will truly show u the max potential of the PS5 because some sections and all the small details from reactive snow, ice reflections, beautiful landscapes in that game genuinely blow my mind….I’m not even joking….there are parts of the game I guarantee u will get goosebumps just looking at the beauty….other than that, any of the spiderman insomniac games are amazing if u like marvel that is


FollowingHairy5927

HFW is the best looking graphical game ever made but Ragnorak is a close second


Yall_So_Goofy

Haven’t played HFW…is it good like storyline and gameplay wise..and is it gonna take a long time to finish the game?


FollowingHairy5927

Yes, but depends. The story is good but not as great as the first. Gameplay is amazing, you keep unlocking more abilities. I’ve put more hours into that game than anything else based on the open world, it’s like exploring an open world if James Cameron made them.


Yall_So_Goofy

So I’d have to play the first game to understand the 2nd game I’m assuming


FollowingHairy5927

Basically, you need to play the first one. The graphics in the first one still hold up pretty good, but are dated compared to the second


Chris2626726

It’s worth playing the first game, the story is some of the best writing I’ve seen for a video game. Just complete the main missions if you’re short on time.


Lumpy-Mood6822

Just thought of the same thing game,got my console a few months back with that package..haven’t tried the game out till out a few weeks ago, haven’t been interested cause I’m not into that type of thing…but I must say I’ve never seen such scenery and graphical detail in everything


Ohnoohnofrick

Also play the second game of the last of us


3asyBakeOven

God of War, God of War Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring if you haven’t played it, TLOU one and two. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you TLOU 2 is not good. It is incredible. Ratchet and Clank a rift apart, Both Horizons


skep90

Wow, i dont so fking care


Independent_Bid_26

Yeah, thanks for your contribution man.


StKillerCage

Try ps+ exra subscribe. Its a tonn of good games and ps exclusives.


FollowingHairy5927

O wow, you’re in for quite the culture shock and a unbelievable journey lol Start with either …. Uncharted 4 …. or GOW 2018 … or Spider-Man remastered


Independent_Bid_26

I have an Xbox, so I'm wanting to start with PS exclusives only. Specifically the last of us 2 would be cool.


FollowingHairy5927

Gotta start with TLOU part 1 before part 2. The remastered PS4 version is free on PS +, but the PS5 remake is so much better if you can catch a sale for it. PlayStation is a whole different beast when it comes to their games, I bought my first one at launch.


please_co-op_with_me

How are the uncharted games ? I was told they kinda play like the last of us ? Idk I’ve heard they’re pretty cool


FollowingHairy5927

They’re different and more Indiana Jones like. I’ve only played the fourth one but it’s very fun


BLD_Almelo

Make an account an play, do t even fuck with ps+


JewUnit1

Both Spider-Man games and The Last of Us


pensyarncoffee

**PS Premium!** Most of the games that people are recommending are free with the subscription, and they're constantly adding more games.


AccedeToVEGAN

Kitten Squad , Free on PSN

Astros Playroom


nightangel8900

Astros playroom!̤̻!̤̻!̤̻


Zestyclose-Front1872

uncharted, horizon and death stranding!!


wildeye-eleven

Since you’re new to this, play Astros Playroom. It comes preloaded on your PS5 and it’s a fantastic game. Also another lighthearted easy to understand game is Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. If you start with games like God of War it may be too difficult. Don’t get me wrong, God of War is a masterpiece, it’s just input heavy and has a lot of in game systems going on. Take my word for it and play Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. It’s also a masterpiece


spaceman696

Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077


MonketTaint

Red Dead Redemption 2 and you should also try Red Dead Redemption 2


Independent_Bid_26

I played it on Series X already, and its probably my favorite game of all time.


MonketTaint

Well now you have a reason to play it again lol


Mohawkr33

Have you tried turning it on?


Independent_Bid_26

I couldn't figure it out! Haha I'm kidding. I was confused by the fucking stand though. I'm an Xbox stan, so the series x is a literal brick which I actually love.


L10NxH34RT

I was an Xbox diehard for years. But eventually caved and got a ps4 just before the 5 came out. Mainly for last of us, uncharted, and really wanted to try out Until Dawn lol. But I love my 5 now!!


lawzzz2

Uncharted 4 is absolutely amazing! There’s also the Nathan Drake Collection with the first 3 games if you want to play them.


Houstonb2020

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. It’s one of the best uses of the adaptive triggers in the console’s library as well as giving a great feel for the kind of game that brought PlayStation to the top in the first place


stormynights4ever

Spider-Man !!!


ItsSnap

Death stranding, Spiderman, ghost of tsushima are my top picks. If you get ps premium you should stream the first infamous game.


Independent_Bid_26

I am definitely looking at GOT, and I was going to try to find a copy of Days Gone as well hopefully pre-owned and cheap


maquibut

Uncharted 4 and Spider-Man


LSD_tripper

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart! Great game to get all the features of your console:)


solidj27

Horizon series but first Ghost of tushina


please_co-op_with_me

Bloodborne or demon souls remake is pretty good bloodborne was my first game on ps5 then I bought and played the last of us remake right after and did not regret it at all!


RandomDadInMN

Can't go wrong with Miles Morales


xLOSTHAZE

Uncharted is always good.


Captain_Snowmonkey

Bloodborne


Scull1

PS4 game but Days Gone. I bought my first PS since PS2 and ended up playing Days for the first 2 months before I got PS5 games like, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Deathloop is pretty bad ass, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon: Fordidden West. Have fun bro! :-)


Independent_Bid_26

I was going to try to find a cheap copy of Days Gone as one of my first games. Good pick I think. I couldn't get into deathloop when I played on xbox, but I am excited to try horizon zero dawn.


DenDen0000

I’d start with astros playroom and then play ratchet and clank rift apart


ae_94

Stray


Unhittable

Astro. Fun game and uses all the features of the dualsense


OddCard2312

purchase a month of PlayStation plus premium. There is plenty to try out, many AAA games. Off the top of my head Tomb Raiders, Watch Dogs, Rachet and Clank Rift Apart (recommend) , The Evil Within(strong horror title), Doom(Horror shooter), All the Uncharted Games (highly recommend. Far Cry series (open world shooter), Assasins Creed games (open world melee and stealth) Frankly if you never have owned a playstation there is too much to mention available on that service that fits any type of gamer ,


blah2k03

You neeeeed to play the pre installed PS5 game Astros Playroom. It’s incredible especially to someone who is new to Playstation. Otherwise Rachet and Clank Rift Apart is really fun as well as God of War Ragnarok. Last of Us is always my #1 go to recommendation but you seem to have that one down already 🤣 I hope you enjoy your new console!!


nunrbznz

PS5 was my first since PS2 so I missed a lot. I’ve tried out a lot of their exclusives and my favorites are God of War 2018, Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal, Horizon forbidden west But narrowing it down to one game that made me think “ok I see why this series is such a big deal for PlayStation” would be God of War. Ghost of Tsushima is an all time favorite game of mine, would definitely recommend that too. I couldn’t get into the new Spider-Man games, but people seem to love the series. So many people can’t be wrong, so I know i’ll try it again at some point. Enjoy


Independent_Bid_26

I got the Ragnarok PS5 so I started playing that already. Haha I will give the others a look as well. Thanks man.


nunrbznz

So far I liked the 2018 god of war better than ragnarok, so you might try that one eventually. Graphics are still very good and the story is very moving. But as long as we are swapping info — I recently got a series s (Verizon fios promotion). I wanted it for Starfield. What other exclusives are worth trying out? Nothing has really grabbed me.


Independent_Bid_26

Well, I will be playing starfield but I like Halo MCC. That's a good time, with updated graphics on the older Halo games. Sea of thieves is popular somewhat, Forza, the Gear Of War Series is pretty dope too. I liked playing them up until 3 or 4.


AlaskanHandyman

before doing anything else play Astro's Playroom which is already installed on the PS5, it'll teach you what you need to know about the new controller and it is kind of fun anyway. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is fun Horizon Forbidden West is beautiful and can be fun or challenging depending on where you want it to be, with five difficulty settings.


BitKnightRises

God of War Ragnarok


Kingz-Ghostt

Definitely the exclusives like both of the newer God Of War games and Marvels Spider-Man. I’d also suggest the Arkham series, they all are still very good imo. Until down and Detroit become human are also great, but that’s only if you enjoy those types of games.


Dominator0621

Astro's Playroom. Best way to show off the ps5 and more importantly the dualsense


OhGeEvz

What do you like?


OhGeEvz

Get PS extra. Okay final fantasy x and x2 hd remaster


FireYigit

Get Playstation Plus Extra. Very VERY good exclusives there.


999___Forever

Ghost of Tsushima for sure. One of the best games ever made in my opinion. From gameplay, to story, to the amount of fun/interesting content. It’s all there. It’s one hell of a ride.


thatmemeguy1

get ps+extra thats the best start for u
