PS5 Games: Popular Titles and My Gaming Adventures

Last weekend, I suddenly thought of PS5 while sitting at home, remembering the day I bought the console; opening the box was even exciting. We live in Bursa, and sometimes I escape the city noise with such entertainments. The gaming world has changed in recent years; with PS5, graphics are so realistic that it feels like entering another dimension. I was curious about which games stand out, so I looked into it, search_volume is high, everyone is talking about them.

Yes, when it comes to PS5 games, action-packed adventures come to mind first. For example, God of War Ragnarok has incredible storytelling; following Kratos’ journey makes hours pass unnoticed. Why is it so popular? Because PlayStation has focused on storytelling in this generation, not just graphics, but you also emotionally connect with the characters. By the way, you can browse the catalog on the official PlayStation site, and there are many trailers.

But not all games are the same; some are multiplayer-oriented and ideal for playing with friends. The Call of Duty series, for example, releases a new version every year, and online battles never end. I think these games also impact social life; during the pandemic, when everyone stayed home, these games were lifesavers. Ultimately, the gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar sector, and sales must have skyrocketed with PS5.

Why Is PS5’s Game Library So Rich?

Thinking about it, the power of PS5 comes from its hardware; thanks to SSD, loading times are almost zero. Transitioning between games is seamless; you dive straight into action. This is crucial because, on older consoles, the waiting periods were frustrating, remember? I also noticed this when switching from PS4 to PS5, games are more fluid.

Among the popular titles, Spider-Man 2 is noteworthy; swinging through New York with web-slinging, the graphics are stunning. Why do I love it? Because its open-world structure gives a sense of freedom—you can go anywhere and follow the storyline. By the way, I read on a tech site, though I don’t remember exactly, PS5 game sales in Google with the query ‘PS5 games sales 2024’ are incredibly high.

It functioned quite well, but some games are exclusive to PS5, making the console more attractive. Horizon Forbidden West, for instance, with its robotic dinosaurs and exploration-filled world, I’ve played over 50 hours but still couldn’t finish it, because I don’t have much time, squeezing in games between coding work.

By the way, games sometimes draw inspiration from real life; for instance, The Last of Us series has a post-apocalyptic story with emotionally intense scenes that can bring tears. Do you know? These games are cinema-quality; HBO even made a series about it.

My Favorite PS5 Games and Reasons

My favorite is Gran Turismo 7, perfect for car racing enthusiasts. Detailed cars, realistic physics—you spend hours behind the wheel. But it’s expensive, with DLCs and additional costs. Quality things aren’t cheap, after all.

Recently, I played with my family on PS5; my child and I played Astro’s Playroom, a simple but fun platformer. Thanks to the haptic feedback on the controller, you feel vibrations, as if you’re inside the game. These games also strengthen family bonds—laughing together, I think. Anyway, let’s get back to the main topic.

Let me share a personal memory: last weekend, we went camping near Uludağ, close to Bursa. I was gathering thoughts for a coding project on my phone—a C# REST API using Dapper but facing a connection error to PostgreSQL. I tried debugging by the campfire, inspecting the code on my phone; I had written the wrong password in the connection string—a simple mistake I spent hours on. Luckily, I fixed it, and it was a victory under the stars, writing code under the night sky—an unforgettable moment.

But after returning home, I dove back into PS5, playing Demon’s Souls; its difficulty makes you crazy but also addictive. FromSoftware’s games always do that, like the Souls series. I think they require patience—don’t give up easily.

Yes, PS5 games are diverse; RPGs, shooters, everything is available. Final Fantasy XVI, for example, has an epic story and stunning spell effects. I think these games from Japan add cultural richness. By the way, check out the reviews on IGN; scores are generally high.

Reddit is also full of discussions, in r/PS5 subreddit, everyone shares new games—great community. I saw a thread there listing the best PS5 games, and I voted for my favorites.

So, is the PS5 game library sufficient for those considering to buy? Yes, it’s enough, even more so with the monthly subscription of PS Plus which offers an extra catalog. There are over 400 games in that catalog, and you get some at discounted prices. I don’t remember exact prices, but I believe it’s about 10-15 dollars a month.

By the way, sometimes playing games inspires coding; for example, when designing UI using Vue.js, I take inspiration from game interfaces. But I shouldn’t delay, let’s focus back.

Among popular titles are FIFA and EA Sports FC 24—indispensable for football fans. Online matches, team building—you can spend hours. But microtransactions are annoying; in the Ultimate Team mode, it makes you spend money. Isn’t this common in many games now?

Recent PS5 Trends

Recently, PS5 game sales have increased; search_volume is around 10,000, and more people are looking for discounts on PS5 games. For instance, Black Friday is approaching, so opportunities come up. I checked once and bought God of War for around 20-30 Euros.

However, some games are delayed, like GTA 6, which is expected in 2025. We’re eagerly waiting. Rockstar makes everything perfect but delays happen. Anyway, we manage with current games.

Honestly, I use PS5 during coding breaks; it helps refresh my mind. Sometimes, my wife joins, playing cooperative games. Isn’t it great? Having fun as a family.

In conclusion, PS5 games represent the peak of next-generation entertainment; graphics, stories, everything combined. If you’re thinking of buying, start with a couple of popular titles—you won’t regret it. For someone like me living in Bursa, it’s an ideal escape route. Just watch your time so coding doesn’t suffer 🙂

That’s it for now; maybe I’ll talk about something else in the next post. See you.
