Best PS5 Games to Play in 2021: Spider-Man, Demon's Souls and More

If you are among the minority who managed to buy a PlayStation 5 during the 2021 PS5 shortage, you are lucky. Even luckier, the PS5's backward compatibility lets you play games left over from your PS4. So if you managed to buy a PS5 for a lot of money and have no money left, don't worry, you will have plenty of games to play. But what can you do if you have not owned a PS4 before or are looking for new games? We researched and listed the best 10 PS5 games you can play. We hope there is something in this list for you too.

• Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

You have probably played or watched Insomniac Games' excellent game Spider-Man on PS4. Its sequel, Miles Morales, was developed specifically for the PS5. This means every benefit the PS5 offers in visuals and technology has been used. With stunning visuals, breathtaking gameplay and superior performance, it is a great choice to play. Miles Morales, which also has the honor of being the first Black superhero in Spider-Man games, enchants us with its story and pulls us into the Marvel world.

• Assassin's Creed: Valhalla

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla is the latest game of the AC series. Although we no longer fight the Templars as before, unlike Origins and Odyssey it reminds us of the old AC games quite a bit. The return of the Hidden Blade and the Hidden Ones, and our talking to the Order of the Ancients characters we kill before they go to the afterlife, manage to please fans of the old games. Taking us to England and Norway after the history of Ancient Egypt and Greece, the game is great for those who love Viking culture and want to live that experience. It is my personal favorite and holds a special place in my heart, one of the best games of the Assassin's Creed series. Saying it is one of the best games you can play on the PS5 makes me a little proud.

• Ghost of Tsushima

We continue our list with legendary games. Another game that made its mark on 2020 is Ghost of Tsushima. It sets itself apart from the games we are used to with its great sword combat, visual charm and superb revenge story. The game, which earned the ''Players' Voice'' award at The Game Awards, undoubtedly pulls you into a wonderful world.

• Astro's Playroom

Released with the PS5's launch, this game is quite different from the games mentioned before. It comes preinstalled on every PS5, and the fact that players don't have to pay is a huge plus. Complimenting the PS5's features, the game offers players all the innovations of the new DualSense controller. In the game you literally travel inside your PS5, jumping from the CPU to your SSD, and have a lot of fun. With its different design and creative approach, it is definitely worth playing.

• Persona 5

The next game on our list is a gift sent by the PS5 to anime fans and RPG fans. Persona 5, which met players in 2017, showed itself on the PS5 with the update pack it received. In this game, where you spend your days in high school and your nights in palaces, you can try to rebuild society with a sense of justice. Persona 5 offers a gaming delight that will charm fans with its arcade-like look and anime-style drawings.

• Gran Turismo™ 7

Gran Turismo 7 is another game we are all eagerly awaiting, being prepared specifically for the PS5 platform and promising to have the best features ever. Expected to carry racing games to the new generation with improved modification and customization modes, the game looks set to drop jaws as soon as it is released. Here is the video shared by the official PlayStation YouTube page.

• Sackboy™: A Big Adventure

A great 3D platformer for those who love Mario-type games, Sackboy: A Big Adventure revolves around Sackboy, the little character we love from the LittleBigPlanet series. The LittleBigPlanet world, known and loved by those who played it on the PSP or PS3, has come all the way to 2021. Drawing you into its own world with its wonderful visuals and music, the game is a nice consolation for those who are upset that they can't play Mario on their PS5.

• Demon's Souls

The next legendary game on the list comes from Bluepoint Games. Demon's Souls ( :D ), the rework of the widely loved Demon's Souls, has definitely met expectations. Offering one of the best atmospheres you can experience on the PS5, the game shows how much the gaming industry has advanced since 2009.

• Hogwarts Legacy

As you can understand from its name, Hogwarts Legacy is set in the world we see in the Harry Potter books. The game, confirmed to be an open-world action RPG, lets the action and adventure in the wizarding world revolve around your story, with a story written by your decisions. It deeply saddens us that it cannot be played online. There are also rumors that J.K. Rowling will not have much influence on the game's story. Hogwarts Legacy, which offers a total of 8 different wizard types to choose from, seems set to offer you the choice to be good or evil. In short, for now everything is rumor...

• Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

COD: Black Ops Cold War, the latest game in the series, is set in the Cold War era, as you can tell from its name. With its story inspired by historical events, it gives you an experience far above your expectations. It is among the best in the category, letting you sit down at the table with Ronald Reagan and Gorbachev and also jump into online modes and experience Warzone. We recommend not forgetting to spend time with the Zombies mode!
