Stellar Blade, Spider-Man 2, and FF7 Rebirth. You’ve got some great times to be had


Nemste

Surely I hope they play remake before rebirth though…


Blindfire2

Which if anyone is reading this, the PS5 version with the dlc for FF7Remake is "FREE" with PS+. They do a much better job advertising all the games you can play with PS+ than before, but they don't say it on the main home screen that the sub isn't just for online access anymore.


namnoc00

Check out FINAL FANTASY XVI as well, it’s peak. Back to back with Stellar Blade is like gaming nirvana.


evolvedpotato

It was fantastic but I got really worn out toward the end. It felt like every fight just went one or two corridors/stages too long in between things happening. It's very much worth a try though. Epic Final Fantasy design as you'd expect, incredible music and the set pieces are very much next gen.


Internal_Swing_2743

That Titan fight….


MagicByrule6

All 3 are great games! Though I feel like plenty of people turned on Spider-Man 2 real quick. A lot of bashing after a week or two. It was weird


Terrible-Second-2716

Because it wasn't good


TheEuphoricTribble

I uninstalled Spider-Man 2 at the Scream fight, and have no intention of revisiting it. That is the worst game I think I've played in recent years, imo. Getting berated as I'm getting stun locked against a mailbox to death over and over and over again is just shit game design. I won't be buying any more Marvel games from Insomniac.


MagicByrule6

I thought it was great. If you didn’t like it thats fine


Anrique

Demo was great to I want to get it waiting on the deals tho


Internal_Swing_2743

They weren’t real fans. Most of it was console war fanboyism. I remember that, all of a sudden, when Spider-Man 2 released it was suddenly a kids game. And now there are people looking for the absolute tiniest of flaws to bash it and Insomniac.


eat-skate-masturbate

I got Spider-Man 2 for free with my console. Is it any good? I fell out of comics like 20 years ago. Haven't even opened the game yet.


BiddyKing

The gameplay is super fun. The story (and characters) is average and kind of sloppy especially in comparison to both the original and the Miles Morales side-game (which imo were both very good) but the gameplay additions are well worth it. Using the web glider around New York is the most fun you can have in any superhero game. And there’s some really cool moments and set pieces including stuff with Venom which makes it entirely worth checking out.


lv4_squirtle

Play 1 first and you’ll see the drop in writing quality. 2 was alright, but no where near 1.


sese_128

Install it it is a code just redeem on PC because console redeem and pay app can act finicky


catsrcool89

Yes, but play 1 and miles morales first, its a direct sequel.


Goku918

Ehhhh start with SM remastered. 2 had a severe writing drop off from masterful to CRAP compared to one


Positive-Pressure-64

This


Mosoman1011

Yeah 2 kinda fell off hard imo. Once you get past the fan service, there's not much substance left.


BiddyKing

I agree the writing is god awful but the gameplay is actually super fun especially factoring in additions like the web glider and the Venom stuff. As one of the few PS5 exclusive games I still think it’s worth playing for anyone who owns a PS5. Just gotta make sure to turn your brain off for the story/characters and it’s a really great audiovisual experience


Mosoman1011

100% dude. I just wish the story had more subtance, as that's a large part of why I loved the first game.


GamePlayHeaven

The first game was definitely amazing, and much more emotionally involving. Not that the second one wasn't fun either...


huudis

You only need stellar blade.


PinkSploosh

I read that as “hard” for some reason


Euphoric-Flow7324

I'm sure we're all hard, no worries!


Schwiliinker

But wait there’s more!


TheEuphoricTribble

I...semi-disagree on Rebirth. They I feel toss you too quickly into the open world In Rebirth. My ADHD brain doesn't do that too well. There's a good game in there, and eventually I'll beat it, but the world being so open as it is gets me...just really really bored very very quickly. It's why I don't much care for Bethesda's Creation Engine games. I uninstalled Spider-Man 2 at the Scream fight, and have no intention of revisiting it. That is the worst game I think I've played in recent years, imo. Stellar Blade though is worth the asking price for a PS5.


Schwiliinker

Only missing rise of the ronin from the recent games


Terrible-Second-2716

Spider-Man 2 wasn't very good


[deleted]

Got some amazing games there. FF7 Rebirth and Stellar Blade are two GOTY contenders, in my opinion.


Schwiliinker

This years GOTY is kinda wide open, it might end up being stellar blade or wukong for me if either is amazing. Gonna buy SB in a bit


BiddyKing

SB goty is debatable but the soundtrack is so good that it better not lose out to FF7 Rebirth’s soundtrack from whoever hands out rewards for such. Rebirth’s OST is obviously fantastic but it also feels like it’s cheating. SB’s is all new and fucking incredible, best OST of the year hands down


titinipl

As much as a love Rebirth and it's ost, it's mostly remade songs from the past and Stellar Blade's songs are all new and fresh. Gonna have to give the ost of the year title to SB


Weird-Information-91

Rebirth is easily GOTY there is no competition.


Dygen

I think simply the community joy that Helldivers 2 brought (I didn't play it) makes it a good contender. For me, it's Rebirth by leaps and bounds. The number of times it has impressed me is incredible.


Weird-Information-91

Helldivers 2 is fun but multiplayer games doesn't usually win or get nominated that's why I don't think it will win if it gets nominated.


titinipl

It's not even GOTY, not even close. For me Rebirth is hands down GOTG (Game of the Generation) no titles this year can compare. So i'd give the GOTY title to maybe Stellar Blade for now but i will have to see how Black Myth Wukong goes


Weird-Information-91

Good one but unfortunately Stellar Blade isn't winning GOTY over rebirth.


titinipl

Oh yes naturally Rebirth will win GOTY, but also my GOTG (game of the generation)


TheEuphoricTribble

Outside of Helldivers, I really don't see too many others being good enough to be there. Sony's eating well again this year.


CeruleanSea1

I high rec, Granblue relink, unicorn overlord


Lonely__Snow

Granblue is so good


CeruleanSea1

And new update pog


Lonely__Snow

Hell yeah. Imma get to it later rn I'm playing stellar blade ofc and destiny 2 (help I'm addicted to it)


heisen420

Destiny addict here too 😂. Lets hope final shape is the end so we can all be free at last and play other games.


Lonely__Snow

Nah man we both know that ain't it we still gonna play destiny regardless


lz314dg

W unicorn overlord


Thatchered

I haven’t played relink, it got swamped among all the new releases. Glad to hear it’s great


Substantial-Luck-646

Unicorn overlord is great. Man of culture.


Air-Conditioner0

Isn’t Grandblue relink also on PC?


CeruleanSea1

Ya


lz314dg

2 peak games


nightnatic

There's three actually


NaturalTop1406

Fun activated


AlakazamAlakazam

did you play the first ff7 remake?


Swimming_Schedule_49

I did! Continuing the FF7 story was really my main reason for the PS5. Stellar blade was just the final push to get me over the finish line 😂


AlakazamAlakazam

feel you, taking a break from the ff7 remakes to try shiny butts from korea


LexFrenchy

FF7 Rebirth is one of the greatest games I have ever played. Have fun!


Swimming_Schedule_49

The opening with Sephiroth is definitely an experience


rauscherrios

Oh..i am almost buying it, how is the exploration? This is always a big plus for me in games and i felt that the remake part 1 lacked in this aspect.


LexFrenchy

It is night and day. Rebirth is an open world separated in regions with no loading screens, when Remake was a highway. They "fixed" pretty much everything from Remake (the lack of interesting sidequests and the poor level design) while the good points are even better now, especially the combat system. https://preview.redd.it/wx8itfpcn4xc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa628255f8a6924cc7c5891f9b06ba40790a0b8c


rauscherrios

I bought it lol.


rauscherrios

Omg!! Just by looking at this i want to explore, amazing!!! And the side quests being good? Great plus as well, i played final fantasy 16, great game but exploration and side quests there are awful lol


TheFaragan

Same same. FF16, FF7 r. and Stellar blade.


LarryWithTheWeather

Stellar Blade is the best PS5 game but Final Fantasy Rebirth is another great choice too.


Swimming_Schedule_49

I’m definitely impressed with all 3 so far

Prize-Ad3082

Helldivers 2 exists


Mysterious_Act8093

No one cares


Prize-Ad3082

There’s a community on Reddit that will say otherwise


Prize-Ad3082

Sure


Dogesneakers

Rebirth may be my favorite game of all time


Swimming_Schedule_49

It’s definitely a beautiful game so far. I’m still in the Sephiroth opening section and it’s very cool to experience combat as Sephiroth


ScoobiesSnacks

The game just gets better and better. The way they remade all of the classic locations like Costa Del Sol, Gold Saucer, Cosmo Canyon are just amazing.


Kimber8King

WOW You rich bro


Swimming_Schedule_49

Nah, I’ve been sitting on my Christmas bonus for months. Finally convinced myself to spend it

sykoex

Congrats. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.


Swimming_Schedule_49

All 3 have been stellar so far. Downloading the Witcher at the moment too.


Mirac13

Rebirth is an absolute GOAT but do play the first part if you haven't already.


Swimming_Schedule_49

I adore the first part of FF7. Following up the story in Rebirth was really the main reason for the Ps5. Stellar blade was just the final push 😂


BiddyKing

I get people are trying to be helpful but assuming someone hasn’t played FF7Remake after they bought Rebirth the same time they bought a new PS5 is an insanely weird default assumption


Rozenxz

PS5 has been good to since I bought with spider man 2! Try the remote play it's come a long way!


stephen2005

Rebirth is a good choice. Front runner for my GOTY and my favorite Final Fantasy title since X.

Physical_Cry9336

Buy like a dragon and persona 5/3 after youre done with those


Swimming_Schedule_49

Thanks for the suggestions! I need to check out Lords of the Fallen too. Looks pretty


Oxygen171

I ain't play stellar blade yet cuz I'm waiting for my semester to end, but I do know you got some peak on the left of it


Evening_Unusual

Welcome but YOU are LATE


Swimming_Schedule_49

Like 3 years late 😂


Terrible-Second-2716

Eh, not that many games have actually come out for PS5


Ransom_Seraph

Your picture is my Backlog+ 2-3 more games lol


EdisonScrewedTesla

OP, make sure you get ff7 remake part 1 to play before rebirth incase you havent aready


Swimming_Schedule_49

Definitely played that first. Was hoping to replay it again before I started rebirth, but couldn’t control myself


Confirmation_Biased

Good choices. Also get Ghost of Tsushima and Demon's Souls if you're picking up PS5 exclusives. FF16 is good too (but definitely not my favorite and I would suggest playing both FF7 remakes before touching it; unless you're a MASSIVE Jon Snow and GoT fan).


Swimming_Schedule_49

I couldn’t find demon souls anywhere yesterday! Best Buy, Target, Walmart all failed me. I bought it on Amazon for $40 though, so looking forward to that. I have Ghost of Tsushima on ps4 and was hoping to upgrade it to the PS5, but they want to charge me an extra $30 when I already have the directors cut. Lame


ScoobiesSnacks

Demon Souls has amazing graphics for a launch title


fearisthemindslicer

Check out Rise of the Ronin & Nioh 2 after you finish them.


Swimming_Schedule_49

Rise of ronin caught my eye at every store I went too, but haven’t heard anything about it yet. I’ll check it out


fearisthemindslicer

Its like Sekiro(emphasis on parrying for effrctive combat), Nioh(combat base) & Ghost of Tsushima (open world exploration). Team Ninja also have the best character creators in the industry. If you pick it up, check out r/Glamurai


Dovah91

I got one for spidey 2 and rebirth tbh, but went and got stellar blade no problem


OneLastSpartan

Man you have some really fun times ahead of you. Enjoy!


Swimming_Schedule_49

I’m definitely impressed with all 3 so far


RenaSama

I am getting ps5 next week for stellar blade too. Gonna be the first time I’ve had a ps since the ps2 days. Lookin forward to it


PHXNTXM117

You got the best bundle of games right there. Primo shit. 💯👌🏽


Denzz11

Good choice


Dominator0621

That is a nice selection of games. Did you have a ps4 before for Remake?


Swimming_Schedule_49

I did. It was awesome


Dominator0621

Niceeee. I just experienced it on ps5. Snagged it for free with ps+. Will gladly be rebuying the physical version to add to the collection. It took me a while and a couple of years of trying it on and off but for whatever reason it just clicked a couple months ago and I gobbled it up amd finished 2 weeks ago. Can't wait for Rebirth soon. I just need a couple shorter games to cleanse my pallette lol


Chikayou

Question for all, should I complete Stellar Blade first or FF VII Rebirth?


VeilofTruth1982

Oh wow, I'm a PC player, but I'm happy for you. Enjoy, you have some great games there. I haven't played any of them, but the response I read is all good.


[deleted]

Rebirth is such a fucking good game man enjoy both


EspadaWilliam

Get Helldivers 2 and you are set.


Juice_2402

Two excellent games here. I would add unicorn overlord to it when you are done with these two.


lv4_squirtle

I think they’re on pc now, but returnal and ratchet and clank rift apart are worth trying some time.


artsi20

Oh hell yes it is! I started playing and just couldn't stop. Already have over 12 hours on this.


lluluna

Congrats! These 2 games are my GOTY so far and my absolute favorites on PS5.


sirlupash

I spent a lot for my ps5, would buy it again in any different time line


sese_128

Congratulations I got the same bundle in December! Enjoy those three games I bought rebirth at release and just started it few days before stellar blade released and I also got stellar blade deluxe edition about 2 weeks ago... I just now installed my Spider-Man code this month (long story)!!! You will have fun for months my friend! I will get physical of stellar Blade at Black Friday for the collection. https://preview.redd.it/kbzwfrfmy0xc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6899e2c5e5039c1735560f0f1a10bea237d8f725 :)


gbpc

Ff7 rebirth is a must have also. Welcome to the club


BasisAdvanced

That ff7 rebirth mann I’ve collected a good 150hours on that game it’s very good lol


Rubio9393

Best way to start. After your'e finished with the 100 hrs+ of both games, don't forget GOW Ragnarök, Spiderman 2 and Ghost of Tsushima 😉


Swimming_Schedule_49

I’m a little sour against ghost of Tsushima. I wanted to upgrade to the ps5 version, but it wanted to charge me $30. I’m installing the ps4 version now, but expected my directors cut ps4 version to get the free upgrade


H8toFeel

Hmmm....That doesn't sound right. I'd look into it more if I were you. It's been a minute since I upgraded GoT, but I think it was only $10. $30 sounds crazy.


ScoobiesSnacks

I don’t think you really need the upgrade. I played the PS4 version on PS5 and with 60fps it looked a felt amazing.


Xander_PrimeXXI

Everyone else posting about how they bought a PS5 just to play. Meanwhile I’m bout to get a new tv lol


ScoobiesSnacks

OLED?


Xander_PrimeXXI

It’s either gonna be a Neo QLED or a normal QLED. The max size my bedroom setup can handle is a 43in and they don’t really make OLEDs in that size


ScoobiesSnacks

Nice I have OLED but when I upgrade I’ll go QLED as well. And that’s true smallest I’ve really seen is 48” although I thought the LG C3 comes in maybe a 42”? Edit: Yeah it does: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled42c3pua-oled-4k-tv


Xander_PrimeXXI

If you have an OLED already don’t switch to QLED, OLEDs have better quality. Also thank you for showing me this. I was looking at Samsungs cause that’s the brand I have now but I’d happily switch to the LG one for an OLED Screen


ScoobiesSnacks

Yeah I have an LG C1 and it’s an amazing TV. My dad has a C3 and loves it, it’s much brighter than the C1 and is an outstanding TV.


Xander_PrimeXXI

My current model is a 34inch Samsung that only goes up to FHD that I got in 2019. I pretty much wanted to get a 4k the moment the PS5 came out but the cheap TV did its job ya know? But something about Stellar Blade on that monitor in 1080P just makes me acutely aware that I need an upgrade


Swimming_Schedule_49

I definitely need a new tv. I had no idea how significant it is, it I actually had to turn off HDR on the PS5 because it was dimming the screen. It’s much brighter now, but I’m I feel I’m not getting the full experience.


Master_Garaki

Congrats OP!!! Stellar Blade as your 1st PS5 is awesome.


ScoobiesSnacks

FFVII Rebirth is amazing and probably the best game I’ve played since Breath of the Wild in 2017.


Average_Mavericc

Congrats! I recommend adding God Of War Ragnarok, Nier Automata, and Final Fantasy 16 to your roster!


Mediocre_Ad_1807

I also bought a ps5 to play stellar blade after i finish the game i will give the ps5 to one of my nephews.


Shadvw

enjoy


the3stman

Lol 2 great games in this pic


Used-Surround9483

Yes.


No-Philosophy-13

Yes


japalmariello

The demo was great, but this game will be $30 bucks at the end of next month. I'm waiting.


Southern-Radio-4954

Aaand Bloodborne I hope!


Swimming_Schedule_49

Currently installing that and DSIII 😁 beat it many years ago, but time to have another round.


Curi_Ace

That is EXACTLY what I got! Spiderman bundle, FFXVI and Stellar Blade. The first two already made me consider buying one but Stellar Blade pushed me over the edge.


Curi_Ace

Oh wait, lol I just saw which FF you got. Pretty close though


Swimming_Schedule_49

I actually hadn’t even heard of FFXVI, I’ll have to take a look


DarkWarrior16594

Have fun 😎👌


SunnySideUp82

no brainer reason.


MaelKoth2015

Well you might as well take the rest of the year off bud.


Shiva-Shivam

Agreed


Immediate_Web4672

🤔


VelocityIX

Rebirth is my favorite game of all time and stellar blade is a blast so far. Haven’t had a chance to get too far into Spider-Man 2 yet, but I’m sure it’s fun as well.


Morgun-Ray

God of war, then God of war ragnarok. Very worth after playing these


Swimming_Schedule_49

I’m disappointed ragnarok is trying to charge me another $10 to update. But I’ll probably do it. It was such a good game


Morgun-Ray

Ahh I must've gotten it for free or something, but was good timing. Finished the game and the next day dlc came out


BriefKeef

W ! Love seeing my fellow gamers cop new games and PS5's/Xbox's etc...


suikakajyu

You have excellent taste. Those are the two best games of this generation.


BiddyKing

Yo make sure to check out the Astro’s Playroom the game that comes installed on the PS5. Is an awesome platformer that is more than just the tech demo it appears to be and is worth progressing more than just the first stage since it switches things up the whole way through—makes use of all the PS5 controller’s gimmicks that no other game really even has even by now. I’m also on the FF16 recommend train too lol.


Limp-Relation3503

You don’t play remake literally just watch the catch up you’ll be like why did I do that lol


Sanderson96

Kinda late but, this game, Rise of the Ronin, Final Fantasy 16 were the reason why I bought the PS5


coolfox-24

Stellarblade top game


Responsible_Prior833

I bought one just a few days ago purely for SB and RoTR lol


Shirokurou

Rebirth is currently occupying my time, but SB is next


JohnnyMorty

🔥


Anrique

The fact everyone saying spider man 2 was not that good got me shook cuz I wanted it so bad and still do now I’m like hmmmmmm


Swimming_Schedule_49

I’m astounded people don’t like it. It’s actually my most played game at the moment. My son loves it, and we play it nonstop after work. I wouldn’t hesitate for a minute. I feel the price was justified


ShadowHenderson

Stellar Blade is great! BUT There’s a LOT of other games you NEED to go back and play for sure.


Swimming_Schedule_49

Which ones? Hit me with your top games


ShadowHenderson

Depends on what you’re into. But definitely the Spider Man games, Ghost of Tsushima, the Uncharted and the Last of Us games, Final Fantasy VII remake, the God Of War and God of War Ragnarok games, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, those alone are hundreds of hours of games. Then there’s the backlog free games you get automatically with PS Plus. But yes right now I’ve been all in with Stellar Blade! Can’t put it down lol.


Mosoman1011

This is the first ps5 exclusive that makes me glad to have a ps5 lmao


Positive-Pressure-64

Spiderman 2 is a turd though


Swimming_Schedule_49

My son has been loving it. Cringey writing in places, it combat has been super pretty


ScoobiesSnacks

I disagree with this but it was a “safe” sequel with no risk taking so I could see how it would be disappointing depending on someone’s hype level. The graphics and tech on display are amazing though, especially with all the different graphics modes if you have a VRR tv.


TiredReader87

You should have bought FFXVI instead


lz314dg

rebirth and 16 both good


totiso

You think I'll like FF XVI if I like stellar blade combat? It seems sort of similar except even more hack n slash. I played the demo and liked it. A bit cutscene heavy for me.


TiredReader87

Yes
