Thanks to its incredible visuals, a peerless sense of atmosphere, and that classic combination of chunky shooting and brain-teasing item puzzles, Resident Evil Village is an absolute must play on PS5, even if you’re not usually a horror fan.
#THE PEDESTRIAN PS5 SERIES#
Story-wise, Returnal boasts one of the best mid-game twists literally of all time, and while it’s a real head-scratcher at some points, the ambiance is nearly second to none.Īfter revitalising itself with Resident Evil 7, this latest entry in the venerable series shows that vampire and werewolf stories are even better when they’re long in the tooth.
This is one of the best early examples of the PS5’s adaptive trigger technology having a strong practical effect on how you control a game – where weapons have different fire modes based on how hard you press the trigger - and the controller sounds and haptic feedback suit the Alien-esque retro sci-fi aesthetic fantastically well.
