It's no secret that the launch of a new generation is the most responsible and difficult time for the PlayStation brand. There are no games, there are even fewer exclusives. However, it seems that this time Sony has approached the launch of its new console much more thoroughly than before. Some games can be obtained absolutely free of charge. More details in our new material.
Of course, no one says that Sony is going to give out completely new titles to all PlayStation 5 buyers. This is a promotion called the PlayStation Plus Collection. Its essence is simple. Every PS Plus subscriber will receive almost 20 games at PS5 launch. Surprisingly, the list includes not only Sony exclusives, but also a perfectly suitable multi-platform. The general list can be found, for example, here . In the same article, we will tell you about the games that you should definitely go through if, for some reason, you have sat in the tank all the previous generation of gaming systems. Interesting? Then let's get started.
Bloodborne
It's even surprising how quickly FromSoftware has grown from just another Japanese firm that produces explicit game for the Asian market to the founder of an entire genre. We are, of course, talking about soul-like games. Bloodborne is the brightest representative of its direction. The secret to success is simple. The player will enter a world inspired by the Victorian era, and deal with a bunch of monsters. The danger lies literally around every corner; dying is very easy. The only chance for salvation is your personal skill, which will have to be developed over the course of several tens of hours.
Why you should pay attention: Bloodborne forces you to study yourself. This game cannot be passed by swoop - even if you have already had time to get acquainted with the cycle before Dark Souls . The PS4 exclusive is a little different. It will no longer be possible to sit behind a shield or create an imba mage who cuts the famous couple of bosses from the original Dark Souls for one, two or three. Agree, there are never many good games from FromSoftware.
Until dawn
Why you should pay attention: Until Dawn is an interactive movie inspired by the works of the Quantic Dream studio. However, unlike the same Beyond: Two Souls , in "Until Dawn" heroes can die very easily. Sometimes it is enough to just turn the gamepad a little "wrong", and that's all - minus one character. It may even happen that not a single hero will make it to the finale. And all this is surrounded by the classic youth horror of the new wave. In short, you should definitely pay attention to Until Dawn.
Ratchet & Clank
From interactive cinema to platforming. A few years ago, Sony decided to do a very interesting thing. Besides the next part Ratchet & Clank , which was actually a remake of the very first adventure of Lombax and the robot from the PlayStation 2, the Japanese sponsored the creation of the three-dimensional cartoon of the same name. The slogan was something like this: "A film based on a game that is based on a movie." Funny, isn't it? And, if the animation came out frankly so-so, then Insomniac Games created an excellent game.
Why you should pay attention: Ratchet & Clank is a representative of the almost extinct genre of "action-platformer with a large budget and in full 3D." Paying attention to the game is worth at least because of this. If genre is not an argument for acquaintance for you, then here are some more advantages of Insomniac work: great humor, reckless gameplay, great graphics. No, joking aside, sometimes Ratchet & Clank can be confused with a Pixar cartoon. Everything is done so cool here.
The last of us remastered
Let's not twist our hearts too much if we say that The Last of Us is one of the most important video games in the history of the industry. Unlike Uncharted, Joel and Ellie's journey across the country not only entertains the player, but provides food for thought. What is man? Why is he so much more terrifying than the infected monsters that roam the territory? And finally, is happiness worth one life of a population? Naughty Dog's writers have created a real manifesto that will never make the game industry the same.
Why you should pay attention: The Last of Us is only seven years old. However, she has already managed to turn into a real classic. It's not often that games of this caliber come out in the industry. Therefore, we strongly advise against skipping work of Naughty Dog. Plus, Joel and Ellie's adventures are solid stealth action in terms of gameplay. And nowadays there are not many such games. So that the budget is big, and there was something to think about, and battles with enemies were captured. An unambiguous must have.
Batman: Arkham Knight
And here is the first multi-platform release on our chart. Like The Last of Us, the Batman Arkham cycle at one time seems to have collected all possible awards. However, there is nothing surprising in this: the British from Rocksteady Studios have done everything possible to write their games in the history of the industry. Arkham Knight is, in turn, the highest stage in the evolution of the entire series. Thoughtful open world, excellent combat system, long duration with almost no slack in the main story. In general, this is exactly the game that any lover of interactive superheroics should go through. In addition, on the PlayStation 4, unlike the PC, the game initially worked perfectly.
Why you should pay attention: if you love comics, have watched Batman movies and know by heart the key villains the Dark Knight is fighting against, then playing Akrham Knight is definitely a must. Besides, it's just a great action game with bitmap and stealth elements. Skipping Arkham Knight is like dismissing a loud and high-quality blockbuster. To be honest, we are even a little jealous of those people who have not yet completed this game.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Almost two generations ago, Nathan Drake's adventures became one of the biggest hits on the PlayStation platform. The secret of success turned out to be extremely simple. All that was needed was to take the ideas of Indiana Jones as a basis, update the gameplay concept Tomb Raider and come up with a charming thief hero who would constantly get stuck in all kinds of stories. Uncharted took off and eventually became the new mascot of the PlayStation platform.
Why you should pay attention: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the pinnacle of the entire series. A pseudo-open world appeared in the game, even more spectacular episodes and, finally, the adventures of Nathan Drake moved away from the formula “shoot a little, jump further, and then run somewhere from unknown garbage. A Thief's End has everything: jumps, gunfights, and even relatively calm episodes. In addition, it is the fourth part that tells about the origin of the protagonist. Another must have for those who love good adventures.
God of war
Another game from the category "no one expected this." The fact is that initially the series God of War was an uncompromising slasher in which a frenzied protagonist walks forward and slays members of the Olympic pantheon. The goal is to tear Zeus to pieces. Spoiler: in the final of the third part, Kratos succeeded and... then the series was forgotten for a while. A lot of the most incredible rumors circulated on the network - including, by the way, that Scandinavia would become the scene of the new part of the series and, in general, it would be a restart. Tellingly, the rumors were almost confirmed. Almost - because no one expected such a Kratos.
Why you should pay attention: unlike its predecessors, the new part of God of War has moved away from the concept of "chop everything that you see on your way." The new game from Santa Monica Studios tells a de facto parable about the journey of father and son, about their acceptance of each other and generously spices the whole thing with excellent gameplay - plus a mythological setting. The updated combat system reminds individual elements of the cult Dark Souls, the very structure of the world -The Legend of Zelda . In short, in terms of what to do in the game, the new God of War was 100% successful. But not everyone will like the plot. The story has matured - in fact, like the fans of the original trilogy themselves.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
And one more nominee for the proud title "and we did not expect you like this." By the second half of the "tenths" the series Resident Evil finally got confused in its genre branches. On the one hand, gamers welcomed all kinds of Resident Evil HD Remaster and Resident Evil Zero HD , but on the other ... Capcom obviously wanted to move forward. The seventh numbered part of the cult horror embodied this desire as never before.
Why you should pay attention: RE 7: Biohazard is a tribute to the entire horror genre. The game has enough both references to the past of the series, and equivalents towards the legendary films of the past. Here you have "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "Saw: The Game of Survival", and much more, much less obvious. At the same time, from the point of view of gameplay, the game looked much more like a "real" "Resident" than frankly action-packed Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 - there was even a classic "mansion" here! Yes, the first person view was a little discouraging, but the very fact of using the camera from the perspective "from the eyes" did not make the game worse. All horror fans should look at the seventh part. Especially if you have a PlayStation VR helmet lying around on your shelf.
What else is worth paying attention to
In conclusion, we note a couple more games that can be launched completely free of charge on the PlayStation 5. First of all, of course, you should pay attention to Days Gone . This zombie action game in the open world could not surpass The Last of Us in popularity, but still fell in love with PlayStation 4 fans. The second game is Persona 5 . If you want to get acquainted with a modern representative of the jRPG genre, then you are definitely here. An interesting plot and addictive gameplay are included in the package.
And that's all. Which games from the list do you personally want to play? Write your opinion in the comments.
