I've mostly been PC bound for over a decade, but I got a wild hair up my arse the other day at the Verizon store and bought a God of War edition of the PS5.

Other than that, obviously, what do y'all recommend? I usually play RPGs, 4X, and nerdy shite like that on PC but I'm open to more action oriented stuff.

Horizon Forbidden West/ Zero Dawn especially if you have a 2021/2022 TV to hook it up to.

I recently did the same thing. I went ahead and got that ps + membership, I know I’ve gotten my money’s worth just catching up on what I’ve missed, Horizon ZD and some of the later Uncharteds, spider man Miles M was an absolute delight and don’t sleep on the Astro free game it’s pretty fun.

Cyberpunk 2077 with the PS5 update was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in recent years. Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, Ratchet and Clank, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man games, Last of Us (haven’t played part 2). Metro Exodus ps5 update is awesome too.

Cyberpunk 2077 seconded if you haven't played it on PC yet. Looks good on PS5.

If you didn't play God of War, get it before you play Ragnarok.

Ratchet and Clank Rifts Apart was very fun

Never played any of them. Is this something I can do with backwards compatibility or do I need to frick around with emulators on my computer?

I wouldn’t say it’s required to play the first three, but I believe you can easily play them on the PS5.

The 2018 God of War starts a new narrative that is completed with Ragnarök.

Definitely do this. Both games are amazing, but you definitely want to play in order. Get ready for an emotional roller coaster that is action packed.

Since you say you play RPGs then Persona 5: Royal.
