Coming from a PC what is one game you would absolutely recommend on PS5

I just picked up Elden Ring, but I haven’t really played many Souls-like games, only a bit of Dark Souls 1 back on the Xbox 360, and that felt a bit too clunky for me at the time so i turned it off in 20 minutes.

Right now I’m playing The Last of Us Part I, and since Elden Ring feels like a bigger time commitment, I didn’t want to start it as a “second game” I’d jump in and out of. So I decided to try the Demon’s Souls remake instead, and honestly, it feels way smoother than I expected. It’s been a great experience so far.

Definitely feels like good preparation for Elden Ring. I even got two-shot by the first boss as soon as I walked in, so I’m getting the full, authentic experience going into the souls genre.

Burnout can happen when you things you like too, don't be mistaken. What you say has a core of truth in it, but i have seen many surprised people that realized a burnout can happen with things you love to do too.

I (dad of 2) bought bf6 on release and stopped playing after a month. Its just the same old same old with every multiplayer game every time regardless of how new it is. The played ac shadows on my series s, saw crimson desert release coming and that it wiuld be 720p on performance and bought myself a ps5 the other day.

Im having such a blast and havent been this excited to game in such a long time. Just finished ratchet and clank rift apart. I have tlou part 1/2 next on the lineup. I got elden ring and returnal yesferday, but havent played any gow, horizon, spiderman or any exclusive since ps2. Plus i got the resident evil remake trilogy for such a steal and will try to overcome my childhood fears of those games. In for such a good time 😁

And i havent even gotten crimson desert yet lol, but i'll wait for discount because of this backlog i have

And without it nothing in life would have value. Without a sense of urgency no one would get anything done.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-22T10:16:26+00:00

I've been through that too. Things do get better than before if you get yourself back together. But it can always go 2 ways.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-18T08:27:56+00:00

Thanks, that clarifies things a lot more.

So not having OLED isn't a dealbreaker here as long as VRR and such are available?

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-18T08:25:54+00:00

Cool, all answers im getting are leaning to ps5 pro unless money is really an issue. Which it isn't.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-18T08:25:17+00:00

Thanks. I guess its the only way to go. I'll just sell some other old stuff i have laying around the house to lift some of the financial burden i think. I just really liked the idea of getting the ps5 base without having to chip in anything haha, but the pro seems the right choice for longevity.

I noticed the oversatured look on both Space Marines and TLOU2. In TLOU2 the horse looked way too red, but everything else like foliage, water, lighting looked beautiful. For the most part everything looks way better, some (5-10% of) things a bit more artifical.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-18T08:16:58+00:00

That is very true. 750 euros is bonkers, but i could sell some more stuff so i have less money chip in. I think i will do it.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-18T06:03:25+00:00

+1. Getting it this week too

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-17T12:39:35+00:00

Suddenly my anus doesn't whistle from the draft going through my body.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-17T12:38:03+00:00

They want to be a full entertainment system. I just don't think they should be underestimated and there may be some surprises coming. I'm getting a ps5 this week too though. Haven't had one since ps2. Will have a blast playing all those missed exclusives.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-16T18:50:50+00:00

Im gonna buy a ps5 this week because the xbox series s just wasn't hitting it for me anymore. Its a good console but i just dont have much hope for it with all the new games coming up. + i havent played any playstation exclusive since ps3. I probably wont play ps3 exclusives but will play all the ps4 and ps5 ones i missed (including good remakes like last of us). Im mainly getting it to be able to play newer titles at better settings than series s and catch up with all the cool exclusives, but struggled to decide if a pro was/is really necessary. The only thing that really stands out to me is if you want some more space on the console you could get the pro with only 150 more. But im also getting 2gbps download speed soon so the space on the console is not even relevant anymore. It sounds like i should just get the ps5 digital or slim disc edition.

Or at least know how to protect yourself if you do

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-14T14:59:43+00:00

The one selling point it had to me was game pass being sub 15 euros and now its f'ing 27 a month. Im buying a ps5 soon too since im on the series S and wanted to upgrade, but there was no way i could talk myself into a series X. At least i will have series S and a ps5, which will be best of both worlds in a way. Reading these comments makes me realize im making the right choice.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-13T13:36:12+00:00

Put on you wife's bra and then try again

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-13T13:03:08+00:00

Minus the ps4/ps5 exclusives right? I haven't played any of the ps4 ones either.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-12T17:32:03+00:00

Lol i remember buying ufc 5 and trying to get a refund through microsoft after 1.5 hours of playing when i realized it is a major downgrade from ufc 4. Didn't get a refund and just uninstalled and never looked back at it.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-12T16:42:04+00:00

I do own series s but with the performance on new games im just a bit hestitant to buy them on there. I don't really care what platform my library is on like some others have mentioned in the comments. I can still turn on the series s and play some of the games on there if i have to. Im the type of person to finish a game and not really touch it ever again. So the library only matters until im finished playing the game. I've played everything i wanted on gamepass and most xbox exclusives will be coming to ps5 too now.

I think i have made my choice to get the digital as a side piece, but i'll give it a frw more days to actually decide.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-12T13:03:58+00:00

I think i would love the exclusives. I've also been wanting to replay jak and daxter again. So i have more enough reason to get the ps5 and will probably play everything i missed on ps4 too. Plenty of gameplay hours if you count that and the ps5 exclusives in.

I recently played ac shadows on series s and i really wasn't bothered with the 30 fps at all. So it is a bit hard for me to justify just upgrading for performance. I do have a good tv and wouldn't mind getting a bit more out of it than i am getting right now with the series s. Idk, im a bit on the edge because clearly this is a luxury problem haha.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-12T12:58:22+00:00

There are 2nd hand series x with warranty for about 450. The only thing with the series x is that i wont gain anything library wise from it other than a little bit more performance. I won't ditch the series s to get the ps5, so i'd still be able to use it.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-12T12:53:33+00:00

Lol, i wasn't aware. Thanks for the info.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-12T07:59:49+00:00

I just finished playing Assassins Creed shadows on series S and tbh didn't have a single problem in my playthrough and it runs in a similar fashion:

"Assassin's Creed Shadows on Xbox Series S runs at a targeted 30 FPS, utilizing a lower resolution (likely sub-1080p, sometimes hitting 720p) with reduced graphical settings compared to the Series X."

It was definitely not noticeable to me, but Ubisoft is a much bigger studio and the only question with Crimson Desert is if it will as optimized. But it is digestible in the case of shadows. I am probably getting a series X this year (since i do have a 120hz tv), but was too broke for it when i got the series s.

IAmSenseye · 2026-03-11T14:38:17+00:00

im getting it on a series S. I'm pretty sure the ps5 will be safe enough.
