A busted spaceship. An uncharted exoplanet teeming with hostile life. An emphasis on scanning objects, upgrading equipment, and retracing your footsteps. Those might sound like core components of a new Metroid Prime, but they’re not, at least not in this case. They’re the ingredients of a riveting—if somewhat punishing—action game called Returnal, out next week exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
The games for Humble Choice Bundle for the month of April, 2024, have begun to be revealed, and they include Returnal.
Some solid choices but i feel they're late to the party. I'm subscriptioned out like most people.
This made me check out the current month and holy crap it's actually a great bundle. It's unfortunate that Saints Row is among them but the Nioh 2 and Afterimage make it worth it. I think I'll probably grab it and give away Saints Crap.

This is great to hear. I think this has been the concern that most peope have had interms of HouseMarque's pedigree in the rogure like genre and the price point. I don; tthink Sony would have made this a Playstatino Studio's title, if they were'nt confident that it would be able to stand as a AAA title.
Waiting on reviews, but this game is getting more interesting the more I see and read.
The new gen begins in earnest with this game by the looks of it.
4k60fps + raytracing, looks like a major achievement technically and could well be a cracking game too by the sounds of it.
This gens Bloodborne?
This game will be hit by fanboy reviews that simply don't want this on ps5. Even if its an excellent game they will claim, Witcher 3 is better or lack of crafting or no mushrooms etc
4k 60fps + RT for £359 only.....
"But the bones of Returnal are so solid and compelling that I cannot put it down."
"I felt like I was playing a next-gen game rather than one that straddles that transitory period between console generations."
Wow... To hear such a praise from Kotaku for a PS game is not common. I was right about the game giving Metroid Prime vibes which for me is AWESOME!
