Agreed. I also get the feeling he stubbornly refused youtube trends that would guarantee more views. He really sticks to what he does and because of that I click every thing he posts.
Astro’s Playroom was a 10/10 demonstration of the haptic feedback in action - still the best use of the PS5 controller functionality imo. I loved every second of it.
I still to this day haven't had an experience like i've had with Returnal. The perfect combination of fluid gameplay, challenge, music, graphics, variety, story and immersion. I still get chills thinking about the first time it rained and I could feel it on the controller. I was sooo immersed.
The only thing that killed it for me was its a rouge like game. The whole espect of progression and losing everything sucks. Also having levels with everything being randomized killed it for me. I still enjoyed up to the credits but just hated that part i mentioned
@@Rolly_951 I hear you. Worth remembering though that shortcuts open that make restarts take less time. There's lots of things that you carry with you on death it's not a complete wipe. For me personally, it's the randomization that makes it more enjoyable. The randomization helps keep restarts feeling engaging because you're making progress, but you're not having to fight the same layout etc over and over. I completely understand though that the games popularity was largely prevented by the fact a lot of people don't like the aspect of losing a lot of progress that roguelite/likes have. But to be fair, that didn't stop Hades from being extremely popular.
@@Rolly_951 the enjoyment of just playing it is all I need, the game starts getting easier as you keep dying so it kinda makes things a bit more tolerable eventually.
Rerturnal is a masterpiece, that is truely a 10/10 game. I normally don't like roguelikes but Returnal is special, it's my second ever roguelike after playing Hades.
Returnal is probably the biggest surprise hit for me, 10/10 for sure!!! It implemented the adaptive triggers & haptic feedback elements of the controller perfectly, was ruthlessly challenging but a very rewarding experience.
@@vacuumstories he's just telling whats on his mind, nothing wrong with that... and even if you didnt ask: i didnt enjoy DS that much, i played it because it was the last souls game i was missing. But it wasnt that much fun :D So stay safe everybody and be polite :)
playing legend of dragoon. when u can sit and enjoy a chill jrpg and like have youtube on and ur enjoying a game sooo much while not being TOOO immersed like with crazy graphical games. and u can just go slow and enjoy with a coffee.. soemthing about this channel has amplified that type of gaming xp for me. thanks for that. keep making vids !
Thanks for the video, Johnny! Always enjoying seeing the Armored Core shout out! I love my PS5, so many great video game memories thus far! A few PS5 games that I really stand out for me include Horizon Forbidden West, Final Fantasy 16, and Ghost of Tsushima! Have a great weekend, and happy gaming!
The PS5 is one of my favourite consoles ever. I love the controller and all its features, I love the ability to play PS4s fabulous library, and even though many of the newer games for the console are sequels and remakes, I'm having a blast with those too. 10/10 experience
Lost Judgement was a huge improvement on the first Judgement 10/10, also Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth 10/10 I'm somewhat of a Like A Dragon fanatic and I think that Infinite Wealth may just be my favourite game of all time now
@@jdrahonovsky the thing that dragged the first Judgement down for me was there's way too many forced boring side missions, they should be optional and Lost Judgement toned that down a LOT and i found the school stories really fun anyway so i enjoyed doing them
@@jdrahonovskythe story is boring until chapter 3 but it turns out to be pretty good, it's just hard to top Judgment because it's the best story in the franchise
Even though I don't like most of the gamea you are praising on your channel you are still a joy to watch and an amazing guy. Thanks for all the positive energy and keep it up pls
Aw man so many! Elden Ring, Ragnorak GOW, Returnal, Octopath 2, FF7 Rebirth, Horizon FW, Spiderman 2, Demon Souls Remake. Im on all platforms but no one does quality like playstation
So glad to have FFS Rebirth on this list, like you I enjoyed the first bit this is what I wanted and truly wished for when they said a remake of the original. Such a good game, I was addicted on this much like I was on then original ff7 in 90s and spent a lot of time on this
Spiderman 1 remastered. I absolutely LOVED that game. There were points where it really moved me, more than most games do. Miles morales and Spiderman 2, both superb also but that first one oh man...
Nice list Johnny, great games. It all boils down to what made it special for you irregardless of what critics or others say, it's about how it connects with the individual even if the game has flaws. I personally loved games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Horizon FW, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. I loved Ghost also but I played it to completion on my PS4 before they announced the Iki Island expansion so I don't think I can count it as a PS5 experience apart from the dlc. Astro's Playroom was a joy to play & the call backs & references to past systems & characters were brilliant. I also really enjoyed Sifu, a brutally refreshing experience. Kena Bridge of Spirits was beautiful & also more challenging then it's astetics bely. The Quarry was fun too.
FF7R, RE4R, P3R, FF16, Spider-Man 2, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and GOWR are easily some of my favorites with 10/10 enjoyment on my side. And plenty more like the ones you mentioned. A lot of good games out now with not enough time. Have a good Sunday yall 🙏🏽
They did a good job with all the controller features in that game. The haptics and all that. It isn't something I would have expected to care about since I often disable vibration to make controller battery last longer but once I got into the game and felt it I wouldn't want to play it without it. Feels good.
Thank you Johnny for always being there for always seeing it your way and being a positive spot and the community you built here as well as your humanity. Best you you Kim your little one and friends and family hopefully you all had a lovely weekend
My two favorite open world games are Ghosts and Red Dead Redemption 2,both are so well done and the characters are absolutely amazing, the devs knocked these games out of the park. Great video and keep up the great work, ML&R Scott.
Ghost of Tsushima was my first ever PS4 game. Just got the console last year and played it this March. Absolutely beautiful on PS4, so I can only imagine how great it looks on PS5. It was a 10/10 game for me as well, the first I’d played in a while. I could easily go back to it and do more of the post-story stuff, but trying to play more games haha
john i've been watching EVO today and just saw this as well. Can't help but wish one day we get a Happy Console Gamer w/ Justin Wong video. Would be awesome to have you guys talking about fighting games. He is in BC as well.
Thanks for the recommendations Johnny! I just finished spiderman 2 and have been trying to find what to play next that is worth my time. After all time is our most valuable resource.
I picked up FF7 Rebirth a month ago and I’m still loving it. I only play about 10 hours a week, but this game is amazing. I think it’s my favorite FF game and I’m only a third of the way through it. Highly recommended. I 100% Ghost of Tsushima. I almost never 100% a game. So beautiful and the gameplay is amazing. Also agree on 10/10.
Thanks for sharing your mom's memory. I recently lost my dad, and man to be in a world without him has been really hard. Fell through a great depression which I've not been able to get out, and even suicidal thoughts invaded my mind... but hey we are still here to carry on their memories and live the way they wanted us to be happy. Wish you the best man.
cool list Johnny! Glad to see SMT5 here. I liked it so much on switch I didnt even mind that much having to pay full price again on ps5 for the 60fps and all that extra content. Amazing game.
I've been obsessed with Ghost of Tsushima for the past 2 months and watching this video makes me want to call in sick from work and go back to play Ghost of Tsushima 😄
Great list. Played them all apart from Armoured core and i'd agree with the 10/10 for most. I'd add The Last of Us Games even though they were on other generations but remade for PS5. Stellar Blade. Spiderman 2. Final fantasy 16 and Alan Wake 2.
trails through daybreak is an 11/10.. this is a very good entry point to the series and you'll love the soundtrack for sure.. if trails of cold steel put you off with the highschool settings.. then this game is the opposite of it.. the main protag is now a mercenery slash detective called a "spriggan"..
Haven't picked up a PS5 yet, but with Visions of Mana and Metaphor fast approaching, I'm starting to keep an eye out for sales (and maybe a pro version since I've waited this long).
Just for 2024 alone, here’s my top picks 1- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth 2- SMTV: Vengeance 3- Tekken 8 4- Stellar Blade 5- Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess Sorry, not a big fan of that FF7 Remake series 😢 OG FF7 all the way!
If you only have a PlayStation 5, this is an EXCELLENT list of videogames you can have on your console, exclusives and multiplatform, and from different genres too. Awesome video as always John.
@@phillipcollins1103 Just talking about the games that Johnny talks about in this video, Demons Souls (the remake) is still a PlayStation 5 exclusive, as well as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (for now). Not starting a exclusivity or Console War with my comment.
@@oxsila I was a big fan of Housemarque and not at all a fan of roguelikes and Returnal kicked down the door for that entire genre for me. I loved Returnal so much. Unbelievably good and nobody talks about it
@@spacelion4763 Yeah i'm really picky with the roguelikes I play. Tried so many but so many just bore me. I've only fully played through 3 of them - Dead Cells, Hades and Returnal. When the genre is done right, it's some of the best gaming ever
Sadly for me not many 10/10 new games on any consoles and most for me was just a remake or remaster version of older games that I love already that I gave 9 or 10/10.😂 1. *Lies Of P* 💪🏽 2. *Demon’s Souls Remake* 3. *Resident 4 Remake* (updated version on PS5) 4. *Dead Space Remake* 5. *Star Wars Jedi Survivor* (in 2024 with all the patches so glad I waited instead of buying it at launch.) 6. *Ghost Of Tsushima* (updated version on PS5) 7. *Elden Ring* (only the base game) 8. *Hogwarts Legacy*
Resident Evil 4 remake is a 10 /10 with the DLC. Without the DLC it comes up short. 8/10. My main reason for this is that lots of things were cut from the game. The DLC fixes this. Great video.
Would love to know how John creates space to make time to play all these games. I have just one system and my backlog will never be surmounted. How do you do it John? Would love to learn what your routine is and how you balance video gaming with family life! I'm really curious to know if you play everything you own.
you just gotta tackle it one at a time. Don't think about how many games you have left, just the ones you really want to play/try and go at it. Maybe make a list prioritizing the games? The thing is, you shouldn't feel compelled to beat something just cause you own it. Give it a fair try and see if it's your cup of tea. Also, if you are someone who does this, stop buying new games (unless it's something special you know you are going to play). They'll just add to the never-ending pile and you can get them for way cheaper if you wait. There's a few things I do to get through my backlog, dunno if it'll help you but it helps me a lot. Make a commitment to how much you'll play of each game. Don't go in thinking you'll see everything there is to do cause it's not feasible, especially with some of the sprawling RPG's out there. For myself, I just say I'll go as far as rolling the credits. If I really like the game and want to continue with it, I'll allocate some extra time to getting all the trophies or playing the DLC's, but otherwise I'm moving on once those credits play out.
Armoured core looks glorious !! It does sound difficult but it’s wonderful to see the power of the Ps5. My most anticipated ps5 game is final fantasy vii remake part 2 . And well of course I am excited to try Tales of Arise even though I’ve played it on ps4. What a brilliant video ! Ghost of Tsushima wow that looks amazing . Thank you Johnny ! I’m still loving my ps4 and switch but will upgrade when I have enough free time and waiting for a bit of a price drop 😂.
It’s great that you got to share the experience with your mom. My mom absolutely loathes video games, thank god for my dad who spends most of his retirement playing nintendo switch
It's cool to see you dig REBIRTH as much as I did. If you dig Ghost of Tsushima, you should check out Rise of the Ronin too man, it's absolutely incredible.
I pretty much agree with every game you listed. I was waiting for a Demon Souls mention and was pleased when it appeared. I think out of all the games you listed I could probably leave GOW. The rest of your choices were seriously on point !
wait for the pro.. u can play all of these games on ps4 basically apart from a couple... ok demon's souls is among them and it is prob. the best one with returnal but hey... still after a few years ps5 does barely make sense if u own a ps4 pro.
I don't usually care about platinum trophies and I rarely seek out games where I plan to get the trophies because so many games have online/competitive modes that I don't care about playing. Both God of War games, especially Ragnarok had me so wrapped up in it that I didn't find any issue with trying for the plat. I was loving every minute of playing so much that I wanted to do everything there was to do.
RE4, Spider-Man 2, TLOU Part 1, Ratchet and Clank, Alan Wake 2, Final Fantasy 7 and 16, Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Uncharted Series. Harry Potter was great, and if it was multiplayer or open world like GTA, they would have had magic on their hands.
Besides the games you've mentioned, for me a 10/10 definitely are AC: Valhalla with DLCs, Dead Space remake, Jedi Survivor, MK11, Uncharted Collection, Hitman WoA.
No Horizon ? I found it one of the absolute best PS5 games. Fun, technical, visually striking, great build up, and rewarding side quests... Not at a Witchen level, but close to it. Returnal is also worth way more than remakes... So fun, and challenging. One of it's kind. Astro playroom... freaking enjoyable as well. Ratchet rift apart as well...spidernman 2...Helldiver2 So many 10/10 IMO
The way this video is presented, your energy and your genuine enthusiasm for the content you're creating is amazing!! This was such a joy to watch! 10/10 to you sir!!
Nice video was blown away with potter game. Never watch any of movies and was inspired to watch after that. My partner would watch me play as well for hours and did same as you😂
A 10/10 game for me that wasn’t listed is Spider-Man 2. The story was a bit darker, stakes felt higher, and we are left with some actual consequences from the story. It has me very excited for an inevitable 3rd game.
When you think about it, mechanically it took alot of stuff away from the 1st game, while introducing only a minor handful of new things, didn't really change the formula or anything , added extra padding in the overworld, gave you less rewards (skins, lore, collectibles) hell even took away alot of skins from the first. Less cinematic moments as well, that intial sandman moment is pretty much as far as they were willing to push the spectacle part of the game. You could have told me Spiderman 2 was basically just dlc of Spiderman 1 and I'd believe you cause that's how it felt, and because of that I don't think it deserves a 10. It's far from perfect. It's only a slight point above the original. But it was fun.
Glad to see Armored Core 6 there, that for sure is a damn near perfect game, I never rate things 10/10 cause perfection is unknowable, but this for sure was a solid 9.9/10. Other games I would rate the same would be Lost Judgment and Ghost of Tsushima, I have yet to play Returnal or Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart but I feel one of those two will also be a solid 9.9/10.
For me some 10/10 games on PS5 are Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Persona 3 Reload, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, FF VII Rebirth, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok and GT7.
I love how you release a video and minutes later, hundreds come to watch. Even with that kind of pull, you remain a humble man that has always stayed down-to-earth.
Same
Agreed. I also get the feeling he stubbornly refused youtube trends that would guarantee more views. He really sticks to what he does and because of that I click every thing he posts.
Astro’s Playroom was a 10/10 demonstration of the haptic feedback in action - still the best use of the PS5 controller functionality imo. I loved every second of it.
Cannot wait for the fully fledged game coming soon.
The first one on VR was even better.
I can't wait for the new astro
Astrobot is going to be fire 🔥
Astros playroom is such a gift.
Something I love about Ghost of Tsushima was the quiet moments like creating haikus. That was such a great element to have in a game like this
100% this. It didn't feel like busy work, it actually added to the world and felt important.
Agree. It's the only big game I've bothered to platinum and explore the entire map because I truly wanted to.
It is soooo good.
The only thing I feel could be more fun is more enemies in the open world.
@@scallysaysit feels like busy work when ur going for the plat, it’s still peaceful but gets annoying after awhile
agreed, that was some forward thinking stuff. I enjoyed the platinum journey for that game quite a bit
I still to this day haven't had an experience like i've had with Returnal. The perfect combination of fluid gameplay, challenge, music, graphics, variety, story and immersion. I still get chills thinking about the first time it rained and I could feel it on the controller. I was sooo immersed.
The only thing that killed it for me was its a rouge like game. The whole espect of progression and losing everything sucks. Also having levels with everything being randomized killed it for me. I still enjoyed up to the credits but just hated that part i mentioned

@@Dragonfury3000 how exactly do things get easier as you keep dying?
Ghost on ps5 makes me tear up when I think of how good it is. Its so beautiful
When you know who kills you know who and the music plays... Peak. Peak.
I like many people watching this video have played alot of video games. Ghosts is def on my top 10 list of all time.
I know it was well received, but it deserved more. I have a hard time sticking with long games. I really didn't want it to end.
It’s a beautiful game
Trash open world slop. Ghost of Yawnshima. Boredom
Agreed with all of your picks. Very special to have those recent memories with your mom. 10/10 video!
If John was a video game, he’d be a 10/10 😏
Lol
100/10
How come all these RUclips gamer guys name is John ? 😅
👀
😂
Who is this guy. Got recommended and immediately subscribed! We all need a roommate like John! Guys energy is maxed out!
You can tell how much you love gaming. A true gamer right here with a fantastic channel.
Returnal is probably the biggest surprise hit for me, 10/10 for sure!!! It implemented the adaptive triggers & haptic feedback elements of the controller perfectly, was ruthlessly challenging but a very rewarding experience.
You're a 10 /10 Johnny
He's an 11/10
Your profile pic being Pyra is 10/10.
Love this guys passion for video games. Idk. You can tell he cares about what he talks about. Appreciate you!
Demons Souls still blows me away. Its special for me. I couldnt beleive the graphics at that time
All Day long
Ill always prefer the original the atmosphere and music was what made it unique and the remake butchered it.
@@vacuumstories he's just telling whats on his mind, nothing wrong with that...

Demons souls graphics are amazing but the game is pretty ass imo, the worst bosses of all souls lame world and meh combat
this dude speaks with such energy and passion I was going to click away from the vid, but his enthusiasm drew me in
Man, I love Armored Core 6. It was my top game from last year. I still jump in once in awhile to replay a mission or 2.

I have all 3 systems currently and my PS5 collection is def the biggest of the 3. If its available on all 3 systems I always scoop it up on ps5.
Horizion zero dawn and forbidden west is earth shattering.
I also love A Plague Tale series 10/10!

Such a good game, I was addicted on this much like I was on then original ff7 in 90s and spent a lot of time on this
Perfect timing as I’m getting my PS5 next week
Cheers to video games. Gosh dang I sure do love them.
I think its so sweet how you remember your mother, and i too have a similar relationship with my mom 😊👍
Returnal is easily a 10/10 to me! Such an addictive and fun game
This is the only PS5 game I personally would give a 10. It ticks every box for me
Im with you on this one, simply an amazing game
I spent 6 hours in total and didn't even manage to get to the first boss. Wasn't fun at all for me, lol
Spiderman 1 remastered. I absolutely LOVED that game. There were points where it really moved me, more than most games do.

1. Returnal
This generations bloodborne if people would only give it its due credit
epic
Bought a PS5 for it & Armored Core (that first trailer had my base PS4 sweating).
I've tried many times to love Returnal and get past the 3rd biome but it's way too difficult. Makes Souls games look easy
@@dylankurtz8423 getting super lucky with items & weapons helps- i just kept trying & trying like it was Binding of Isaac heheh.
Wow, the first 10/10 I fully agree with. No weird puzzle games or weird spinoffs. Never heard of Shin Megami. Looks excellent!💯
Returnal was the quintessential PS5 10/10 for me. I loved every second of that game.
Thanks for sharing your mom's memory. I recently lost my dad, and man to be in a world without him has been really hard. Fell through a great depression which I've not been able to get out, and even suicidal thoughts invaded my mind... but hey we are still here to carry on their memories and live the way they wanted us to be happy.

GT7 is also a 10/10. Amazing game it is really detailed and makes you love cars and their history.
Returnal is an easy 10. It truly felt like a next-gen experience.
Man Returnal was truly the best experience i've had this gen, experiencing it with 3D audio was also amazing
You are my youtuber of all time. Thanks for poppin a squat to talk some games. Gotta have Gamesack on sometime

Johnny you’re a 10/10 RUclips Channel!
Haven't picked up a PS5 yet, but with Visions of Mana and Metaphor fast approaching, I'm starting to keep an eye out for sales (and maybe a pro version since I've waited this long).
Armoured core was such a nice change for me. Great win for the mech community.
you draw a smile on my face everytime I see your notifications 🫡
Just for 2024 alone, here’s my top picks
1- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
2- SMTV: Vengeance
3- Tekken 8
4- Stellar Blade
5- Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess
Sorry, not a big fan of that FF7 Remake series 😢 OG FF7 all the way!
If you only have a PlayStation 5, this is an EXCELLENT list of videogames you can have on your console, exclusives and multiplatform, and from different genres too. Awesome video as always John.
PlayStation doesn’t have any exclusives now…just mentioning it
@@phillipcollins1103 Just talking about the games that Johnny talks about in this video, Demons Souls (the remake) is still a PlayStation 5 exclusive, as well as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (for now).
Not starting a exclusivity or Console War with my comment.
I just discovered your channel today, and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve watched 😊
i personally love Stray enough to put a 10/10 beside it! a great pallet cleanser game. that would be a good video in the future!
Returnal better be on this list....probably my favorite PS5 exclusive so far
This better not be like Bloodborne where we never get a sequel or spiritual successor to it haha. Possibly my fav game ever honestly.
@@oxsila I was a big fan of Housemarque and not at all a fan of roguelikes and Returnal kicked down the door for that entire genre for me. I loved Returnal so much. Unbelievably good and nobody talks about it
@@spacelion4763 Yeah i'm really picky with the roguelikes I play. Tried so many but so many just bore me. I've only fully played through 3 of them - Dead Cells, Hades and Returnal. When the genre is done right, it's some of the best gaming ever
@@oxsila I love Dead Cells and Hades as well. I can also vouch for The Binding of Isaac, Risk of Rain 2 and Enter the Gungeon
Sadly for me not many 10/10 new games on any consoles and most for me was just a remake or remaster version of older games that I love already that I gave 9 or 10/10.😂
1. *Lies Of P* 💪🏽
2. *Demon’s Souls Remake*
3. *Resident 4 Remake* (updated version on PS5)
4. *Dead Space Remake*
5. *Star Wars Jedi Survivor* (in 2024 with all the patches so glad I waited instead of buying it at launch.)
6. *Ghost Of Tsushima* (updated version on PS5)
7. *Elden Ring* (only the base game)
8. *Hogwarts Legacy*
I got the Platinum for Lies of P
A great gaming experience
I hope 🤞🏻 that the Devs next release will be another home run
lol Elden Ring (only the base game). Tell us you suck without saying you suck
Resident Evil 4 remake is a 10 /10 with the DLC.
Without the DLC it comes up short.
8/10.
My main reason for this is that lots of things were cut from the game.
The DLC fixes this.
Great video.
Would love to know how John creates space to make time to play all these games. I have just one system and my backlog will never be surmounted. How do you do it John? Would love to learn what your routine is and how you balance video gaming with family life! I'm really curious to know if you play everything you own.
Ikr lol
X2 😂
I want to know to!
you just gotta tackle it one at a time. Don't think about how many games you have left, just the ones you really want to play/try and go at it. Maybe make a list prioritizing the games? The thing is, you shouldn't feel compelled to beat something just cause you own it. Give it a fair try and see if it's your cup of tea. Also, if you are someone who does this, stop buying new games (unless it's something special you know you are going to play). They'll just add to the never-ending pile and you can get them for way cheaper if you wait.
There's a few things I do to get through my backlog, dunno if it'll help you but it helps me a lot. Make a commitment to how much you'll play of each game. Don't go in thinking you'll see everything there is to do cause it's not feasible, especially with some of the sprawling RPG's out there. For myself, I just say I'll go as far as rolling the credits. If I really like the game and want to continue with it, I'll allocate some extra time to getting all the trophies or playing the DLC's, but otherwise I'm moving on once those credits play out.
Content creation is his full time job. Plenty of time to play games
Armoured core looks glorious !! It does sound difficult but it’s wonderful to see the power of the Ps5. My most anticipated ps5 game is final fantasy vii remake part 2 . And well of course I am excited to try Tales of Arise even though I’ve played it on ps4.
What a brilliant video ! Ghost of Tsushima wow that looks amazing . Thank you Johnny ! I’m still loving my ps4 and switch but will upgrade when I have enough free time and waiting for a bit of a price drop 😂.
1) Days Gone
2) Red Dead Redemption 2
3) The Last Of Us
4) Far Cry 5
It’s great that you got to share the experience with your mom. My mom absolutely loathes video games, thank god for my dad who spends most of his retirement playing nintendo switch
It's cool to see you dig REBIRTH as much as I did. If you dig Ghost of Tsushima, you should check out Rise of the Ronin too man, it's absolutely incredible.
I pretty much agree with every game you listed. I was waiting for a Demon Souls mention and was pleased when it appeared. I think out of all the games you listed I could probably leave GOW. The rest of your choices were seriously on point !
The more time passes the more I’m confident in saying Ghost of Tsushima is my favorite game of all time.
Remnant 2 is my 10/10, I just love exploring and getting loot. Horizon Forbidden West being the other PS5 game I really rate.
I loved the RE4 remake as well. I'm going to give it another playthrough soon
Great list! If it were my personal list I would also include Astro’s Playroom and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart!
Great video !! One pic for me is trails into reverie !! An cyber punk PS5 version was amazing !!!!
No PS5 yet...hopefully once the PS5pro comes out. Always a immediate click to watch your videos. Have a great week!
wait for the pro..
wait for the pro.. u can play all of these games on ps4 basically apart from a couple... ok demon's souls is among them and it is prob. the best one with returnal but hey... still after a few years ps5 does barely make sense if u own a ps4 pro.
@@n3r0n3 you sound like some xbot clown
You are a far better game reviewer than all of those so-called gaming journals out there.
What a great video to watch to set me up for the long week ahead 🙌
I don't usually care about platinum trophies and I rarely seek out games where I plan to get the trophies because so many games have online/competitive modes that I don't care about playing. Both God of War games, especially Ragnarok had me so wrapped up in it that I didn't find any issue with trying for the plat. I was loving every minute of playing so much that I wanted to do everything there was to do.
This channel is a 10/10 ❤
RE4, Spider-Man 2, TLOU Part 1, Ratchet and Clank, Alan Wake 2, Final Fantasy 7 and 16, Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Uncharted Series. Harry Potter was great, and if it was multiplayer or open world like GTA, they would have had magic on their hands.
Besides the games you've mentioned, for me a 10/10 definitely are AC: Valhalla with DLCs, Dead Space remake, Jedi Survivor, MK11, Uncharted Collection, Hitman WoA.
Thanks for mentioning Kings Field. I truly want FS to make a new KF so bad!!!!
No Horizon ? I found it one of the absolute best PS5 games. Fun, technical, visually striking, great build up, and rewarding side quests... Not at a Witchen level, but close to it.
Returnal is also worth way more than remakes... So fun, and challenging. One of it's kind.
Astro playroom... freaking enjoyable as well.
Ratchet rift apart as well...spidernman 2...Helldiver2
So many 10/10 IMO
Armored Core 6 is an absolute gem. I really like this list in general, I cried at the end of Ghosts of Tsushima, amazing game as well.
The way this video is presented, your energy and your genuine enthusiasm for the content you're creating is amazing!! This was such a joy to watch! 10/10 to you sir!!
Nice video was blown away with potter game. Never watch any of movies and was inspired to watch after that. My partner would watch me play as well for hours and did same as you😂
Love this list!
It may not be a 10/10 for everyone but have you played Returnal?
Tsushima’s online modes were really cool, too.
A 10/10 game for me that wasn’t listed is Spider-Man 2. The story was a bit darker, stakes felt higher, and we are left with some actual consequences from the story. It has me very excited for an inevitable 3rd game.
I wholeheartedly agree. Surprised it didnt make the list here. I'm pretty sure when Johnny first reviewed it, he gave it a 10/10.
When you think about it, mechanically it took alot of stuff away from the 1st game, while introducing only a minor handful of new things, didn't really change the formula or anything , added extra padding in the overworld, gave you less rewards (skins, lore, collectibles) hell even took away alot of skins from the first. Less cinematic moments as well, that intial sandman moment is pretty much as far as they were willing to push the spectacle part of the game. You could have told me Spiderman 2 was basically just dlc of Spiderman 1 and I'd believe you cause that's how it felt, and because of that I don't think it deserves a 10. It's far from perfect. It's only a slight point above the original. But it was fun.
Glad to see Armored Core 6 there, that for sure is a damn near perfect game, I never rate things 10/10 cause perfection is unknowable, but this for sure was a solid 9.9/10. Other games I would rate the same would be Lost Judgment and Ghost of Tsushima, I have yet to play Returnal or Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart but I feel one of those two will also be a solid 9.9/10.
For me some 10/10 games on PS5 are Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Persona 3 Reload, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, FF VII Rebirth, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok and GT7.
Re4 on the Wii was amazing as it was one of the few games on that system where the Wiimote worked perfectly with the game mechanics.
