An unholy mash-up of Destruction Derby and Overwatch, Destruction AllStars brings smashmouth vehicular combat and competitive hero multiplayer to PlayStation 5 in a way that many of us never knew we wanted.

Best PS5 Exclusives – Final Fantasy 16


  • Release date – June 22, 2023
  • Genre: JRPG
  • Developer: Square-Enix
  • PlayStation Universe review score: N/A

Representing a complete left turn from what Square-Enix accomplished with the open-world, bro-trip shenanigans of Final Fantasy 15, Final Fantasy 16 instead puts the series into more familiar ground, putting the player at the heart of a global conflict between nations over powerful Crystals and the titanic Eikon (essentially, summons) that they enable. That, however, is where many of the similarities end however. Designed from the ground up with the PS5 in mind, Final Fantasy 16 takes a much more adult approach to its darker fantasy narrative, alongside a reworked real-time combat system, Final Fantasy 16 allows players to take direct control of Eikons (summons) for the first time in the series history, resulting in some truly titanic battles. Final Fantasy 16 is shaping up to be one of the best entries the series has ever seen, not to mention a PlayStation exclusive for the ages.

Best PS5 Exclusives – God of War: Ragnarok


God of War: Ragnarok is the perfect sequel. A carefully iterative offering that beautifully maintains the essence of 2018’s PlayStation 4 Game of the Year while making meaningful improvements to augment its already stellar combat and progression systems, God of War: Ragnarok is a meaty and deeply emotional epic that effortlessly secures its place as one of the best games on PS5 and a sure-fire Game of the Year candidate (spoiler – it won overall GOTY for 2022 in addition to other awards).

Best PS5 Exclusives – Gran Turismo 7


Though Gran Turismo 7 certainly carries the baggage of some of the weaker elements from previous games, a steadfast return to the generous single-player campaign offerings of old, together with a significantly upgraded visual presentation and most importantly a deeply felt love for cars that bleeds through every aspect of the game all ensures that one single statement is true – Gran Turismo is back. Make no mistake, Gran Turismo 7 isn’t just one of the best PS5 racing games, but also one of the best PS5 games money can buy. Period.

Best PS5 Exclusives – Horizon Forbidden West


Horizon Forbidden West not only furthers the narrative of one of PlayStation’s most recognisable icons, but also manages to reassure PlayStation gamers of the rude health of PlayStation Studios sterling reputation for creating stunning first-party, single-player adventures. A beautifully crafted open world adventure sequel that has our heroine Aloy fighting with not only a range of vicious machines, but a new and very deadly human enemy, in every way that it can be, Horizon Forbidden West is Horizon Zero Dawn 2.0 and while I might crave some more variety in its open-world activities, Guerrilla Games has nonetheless crafted a triumphant sequel that earns its place among the very best that PlayStation Studios has to offer.

Best PS5 Exclusives – Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales


A standalone adventure that is roughly the same size as Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales puts players in the shoes of Peter Parker’s super-powered protege as he swings, thwips and smashes his way through the bad neighbourhoods of New York City. A PlayStation 5 continuation of Marvel’s Spider-Man from 2018, that was widely regarded as one of the best PS4 exclusives ever released? Yes please.

Best PS5 Exclusives – Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart


No other game in this list uses the PlayStation 5’s screamingly fast SSD solution quite as well as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, as players once more take control of the titular lombax and his robot buddy, though this time they find themselves falling through inter-dimensional portals at speed. One time you could be grinding a futuristic hoverboard over a massive cyberpunk metropolis and then within a split second, you could find yourself speeding down a snowy mountain. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is seriously impressive and a true return to form for the long running series.

Best PS5 Exclusives – Returnal


A stunning third-person shooter with roguelike elements, Returnal comes to PS5 courtesy of Housemarque – the very same studio which graced the PS4 with Resogun at its launch back in 2013. As a pilot stranded on an ever-changing alien world, players find themselves stuck in a time loop where with every death they find themselves resurrected as they attempt to find a way to escape from the cursed planet. Boasting the most stunning visuals to ever come out of Housemarque, Returnal is one of the better exclusives available for PlayStation 5 to say the least.
