The best PS5 single-player games are what make the console one of the greatest to own today. From exclusives like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and God of War Ragnarok to grand single-player campaigns that will take your breath away, there is no shortage of outstanding experiences on the beloved system. Although some double-A exclusives like Gravity Rush 2 and LittleBigPlanet 3 have fizzled from PlayStation’s priority list, there are still plenty of games to check out. Here are 10 of the best PS5 single-player games:
1. Marvel’s Spider-Man series – If you are a fan of action games or comic books, this series from Insomniac Games is a must-play. The web-slinging is the best it has ever been, and the boss battles truly up the stakes of the storyline.
2. God of War series – The Norse God of War series is a must-play for fans of single-player games on PS5. Kratos’ evolution past his violent origins and growth as a person makes for a refreshing twist to the series. The combat is slower, more methodical, and satisfying.
3. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – The game hosts some incredible graphics and engaging platforming heroes that must save the multiverse from Dr. Nefarious and company. The game’s guns pack a punch, and the storyline is impactful and emotionally charged.
4. The Last of Us Part 1 – This post-apocalyptic game has you play as Joel, a father who lost his child, and connects with a girl named Ellie. The Infected is a unique twist on zombies and is unsettling as you slowly make your way through dark hallways where they are listening for you. The emotional storyline is intense and one of the best single-player games on PS5.
5. Elden Ring – While this is a tough game, the grind is well worth it as you defeat tough bosses and scale across a dangerous fantasy landscape. It’s far better than the linear Souls style as you finally have options.
6. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy – This game is better than the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies. The characters are written well, and the script is funny. The gameplay is thrilling as you are zooming around foes with your jet boots and instructing the squad on what to do.
7. Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade – With spectacular visuals, fast-paced combat, and an engrossing storyline, this RPG will engross you from beginning to end.
8. Astro’s Playroom – This is a wonderful pick for kids, or your inner child. It fully uses the DualSense controller’s functionality and references great moments in PlayStation’s long history. The best part is that it is free to download!
9. Resident Evil 4 Remake – This is an almost perfect horror game, with stunning graphics, an epic story, tough bosses, and fun puzzles.
10. Horizon series – The unique robot-filled post-apocalyptic setting is striking, with excellent performances by Ashley Burch and the cast. Although the sequel, Forbidden West, covers familiar gameplay mechanics, it is still a tour-de-force of graphics.
Honorable Mentions:
Ghost of Tsushima – This game presents a gorgeous open world inspired by the Mongol invasion era of Japan.
Returnal – Although it is a co-op game, it has gained a large fanbase since its release.
