The 10 Best PlayStation Games To Buy Right Now
2023 is indeed to be a standout year for Sony and its PlayStation gaming brand.
It’s also a good time to subscribe to PlayStation Plus, where you’ll gain access to some free games. Of course, these are temporary additions which is why it’s better to get some titles permanently.
Here are our top 10 gaming picks, featuring both 2023’s heavy hitters and some beloved classics.
#1. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (RM299)
We’ll start big: Insomniac’s big superhero comic book game is one good reason to buy a PlayStation 5. This superhero-filled action-adventure open-world title puts you in the suit of not just one Spider-Man, but two of them!
You can play as play as either Peter Parker or Miles Morales, each with their own set of crime-fighting skills and powers, as they take on a new threat involving a new criminal organization muscling into town. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s version of New York is bigger and more packed with focused questlines and activities, not to mention new supervillains from Spider-Man lore to defeat.
#2. Final Fantasy XVI (RM299)
Next is the sixteenth mainline entry in the iconic Japanese RPG series, Final Fantasy XVI, exclusive to PlayStation. Much like how previous Final Fantasy games were during the OG PlayStation and PlayStation 2 days. Final Fantasy XVI leans toward the character action route not unlike your Devil May Cry titles, where you play as Clive who is good at both swordplay, juggle combos, and using Eikons (Summons) as magical attacks.
FFXVI’s story is also engaging, opting for a dark fantasy motif and touching on heavy themes. Most importantly, the game’s spectacle and music are pushing boundaries in tech, with near-instant loading, smooth transitions from cutscenes to gameplay (and vice versa), and a ton of spell-related fireworks. It may not be a conventional JRPG, but this Final Fantasy sure is fun and worth your 30+ hours. Especially with the now-available Echoes of the Fallen DLC and 2024 DLC that promises more than 10 hours of new content.
