Just bought a ps5 need recommendations for starting a game

I’m thinking games that have huge open worlds with a lot going on and lots to do, so big that you can pretty much ignore the story and do your own thing.

I want a game I can get lost in without any pressure of following the story if I choose not too.

🎮 Seeking Gaming Recommendations 🌍🕹️

I'm on the lookout for the ultimate open-world experience on the PS5 that's hot off the press. What game do you consider the cream of the crop? Drop your suggestions Have already played Elden Ring, Frozen..

So I just beat Baldurs Gate 3. I know it's not an open world but it was very engaging and much better than I expected for my first time playing that game style. Also one of the harder games I ever played and was hooked. I do enjoy my open world games where I can explore, relax or engage after a long day. I would like a game relatively newer

In the past year I've played some incredible titles and these are some of my favorites and also so maybe you can help me find my next title and why (no particular order)

• Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead 2, all the Assassins Creeds (except Shadows), No Mans Sky, BG3, GTA, Fallout, Shadow of War, God of War

Contemplating: Elden Ring (heard it's hard though), AC Shadows (though I am ok holding off on this for now after playing GoT)

Thanks for your recommendations!

I would love a good open world rpg game which is on ps5. I've really enjoyed games such as zelda breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. But these aren't on ps5. I would really appreciate if its free and I have ps plus essential.

Hello everyone

I bought my ps5 because I wanted to play Hogwarts Legacy, and now that I have mostly finished it, I wanted to try out similar games.

So I bought Skyrim, since I enjoyed the open world in Hogwarts legacy and had heard great things about Skyrim. I do think Skyrim is a good game, but I also find it incredibly difficult (I play on novice mode, which is the easiest). I have only ever played Hogwarts Legacy, which is pretty straight forward. I find all the different skills, weapons and laws etc, to be overwhelming. I have to look up most of the quests, cause I don’t know what I’m doing, and I keep forgetting there are consequences to my illegal actions (I can’t even steal some cheese without getting caught, since sneaking isn’t my strong suit).

An example of my gaming talent: I accidentally punched someone in the face instead of jumping (i mixed up the buttons on my controller) so I panicked and ran away. Not realizing Lydia (my companion) killed her. Then I spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out why the guards kept killing me over and over again, since I was just trying to help them fight a dragon. Apparently it was because I had a 1000 gold bounty on my head for murder, and when I took out my weapon to fight the dragon - I was seen as hostile:(

So I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for straightforward, open world games that are both beginner and blockhead friendly.

Thank you very much for your time

Don’t know if this is the appropriate Reddit thread, but I’m looking for some ps5 recommendations to play. I just finished Hogwarts legacy, and got that itch to just play games that I can sink time into and get lost in it all. I’ve considered replaying the Witcher 3 as I haven’t played it on ps5 yet. I’ve play HL, FFXVI, RDR2, Star Wars Jedi/Survivor, R&C, Skyrim. I appreciate any input! 😁

Title explains it. PS4 back compatible don't count. Must have native PS5 app!

i would like to buy some games for my ps5. So if anyone would like to give me a suggestion because I'm not really sure about it.

Me and my group have just finished Palworld and are looking for our next game. I had been looking at Ark but I'm hearing a lot of issues with the game crashing, people losing saves plus needing a pc to run a server or paying for one (we don't want to play in public servers).

They were focused on exploring, combat and capturing more than everything else so that's where I'm trying to find games that focus on this aspects, I get the capturing is unlikely.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Just got a gift card for a big box retailer and considering using it to buy a PS5. Haven't owned a Sony counsel since PS3. Just curious in some of the exclusive games I should get when I buy the system.

I am a massive fan of games like Mass Effect, Far Cry, Fallout, Oblivion/Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, Outer Worlds 1&2, GTA 5, Cyberpunk ect. That have large open worlds to explore with lots of side quest and awesome story telling.

What PS5 exclusive games would you recommend I start with if I want something similar to these games?

Not including Elden Ring as I don’t mind a bit of grinding but nothing too hard either.

So, i heavily prefer open-world, but might be open to something more structured. (The Last of Us games were amazing). But it MUST be 3rd person. I hate FPS. And it MUST be on Earth, and it has to be (more-or-less) the real world. I don't like fantasy and space stuff. I want to walk around real cities or real wilderness.

The games i've played and enjoyed that fit in this category include: GTA series, Fallout 4, The Division 2, and Red Dead Redemption.

It can be somewhat of an alternate history like Fallout, or a period piece like Red Dead, or post-apocalyptic like The Division. But my fantasy is that i'm playing on my "home turf" and the real world. That's where my immersion comes in. So, swords, dragons, magic, supernatural, other planets and realms are of no interest to me. I live and work on the actual game map for The Division 2 (Washington, DC), so it's super cool visiting all the places i know so well. I don't expect another DC game, but i would still like similar experiences.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Besides the very well known ones like ghost of Tsushima and Witcher 3..

Thanks in advance!

I love a huge open world to explore, lots of quests, challenges, achievements, and collectibles to find. 3rd or 1st person are both fun. Here are the games I've played and loved.

• RDR2 (my #1)

• Horizon (ZD and FW)

• AC Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins

• Ghost of Tsushima

• God of War (and Ragnarok)

• FarCry 4-6

• The Witcher III

• Cyberpunk 2077

• Avatar : Fronteirs of Pandora

• Star Wars Outlaws

• Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order

• Hogwarts Legacy

• All Uncharted and Tomb Raider games

• Immortals Fenyx Rising

I do not like: way too much complex crafting (hence why Skyrim/Elden Ring aren't on the list), first person shooters (like COD), horror (I'm a wuss), or games in anime style (just not my thing). I've tried but didn't like : Shadow of Mordor, Miles Morales, Arkham Knight.

Any recommendations? I've got Fallout 4 on my radar but open to others. Cheers.
