jawa asks... what are your favourite games on PS5 so far?

Returnal is the best game available on PS5, it's disappointing that it doesn't seem to have gone on sale (I don't really count dropping to £50 as a sale!) so that more people will give it a go.

I also voted for Deathloop and Demon's Souls, although on another day could have picked any of MM, Astro and Village.

I think the PS5 has been great but completely get why some people are frustrated with the lack of exclusives, it is a little annoying that even this year a lot of the big games to be released are going to be cross-gen.

Yeah, I feel that the pricing is a big factor, sawyer. It's difficult as Returnal reviewed well and seemed to get a generally positive reception from most folk talking about it (although the difficulty and the initial "no saving" aspect had a few critics) but, even so, seventy quid feels like a big ask. As we approach a year since release, I'd like to try it but I can't see myself spending anything over £35 to get it now.

I bought Returnal for £39.99 before Christmas from Smyths. I'm sure it will go down under £40 again soon.
