Sony came right out of the gate at full speed last week with a surprisingly large showcasing of titles for their upcoming PlayStation 5 console. Although there were several games that we’ll probably be adding to the collection (once we get our hands on a PS5), there were 5 that excited us the most as longtime Sony fans.
Horizon: Forbidden West
Aloy is back and better than ever in this draw droppingly beautiful sequel filled with new tribes, machines, gameplay elements, and threats.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
As huge Ratchet and Clank fans, we couldn’t help but jump for joy at the sight of this familiar heroic duo making an appearance at the PlayStation 5 show. Not only does this modern, interdimensional take on the series look absolutely gorgeous graphically, it appears to still have that wonderful humor and feel of the classic titles and simply put. . . just looks like a whole lotta fun.

Project Athia (Working Title)
Although there wasn’t quite enough shown to form a definitive opinion about the game, we’re still quite excited about this upcoming adventure from Square Enix/Luminous Productions. This is definitely a title we’ll be keeping an eye on and we’re predicting right now, one we’ll most likely want to buy/play.
Release: TBD (PS5, PC)
