What games are you playing? Any recommendations? 

I play a bit of everything - I've got most titles that have ps5 versions.  What type you normally into?

Big fan of stealth games, I'm considering Hitman III. I usually play the assassins creed games, though I do find them a bit samey these days. Not sure whether to go for the viking one.

I've got ps plus, so currently playing stranded deep which is quite fun. Also got the wreckfest game for ps5 with that.

Hitman is great if you are a fan of the series.  There is one level at a mansion which is superb!  Assasins Creed is excellent too but its a long grind and slog through so I've not been on that for a while.  

Currently playing a bit of hunt showdown with a couple of mates - thats pretty decent too but the single player quickplay is rubbish.  Still have quite a few games that haven't made it out the box yet!

I prefer games with a good single player game. Multiplayer doesn't do much for me (mainly because i get destroyed by blooming kids :p ) 

I'll probably go for hitman first. Love the other hitman games.

We definitely get destroyed by kids regularly!!!  HItman is definitely worth picking up if you like them. Fingers crossed it arrives soon!

I might be biased because I'm a ridiculously big fan of the Viking era, but AC: Valhalla is an absolutely superb game that I couldn't recommend highly enough.

I agree with the fact its superb but its like Assasin's Creed in terms of long and repetitive.  Great game though

Are @Borodane and @SmogDane playable characters?

It's a pretty standard AAA open world game in that regard, it's not solely an AC thing. It's a pretty common thing with all Ubisoft games nowadays tbh.

Don't want to spoil anything for you!

I've been playing "Returnal" which just came out on PS5 a week or 2 ago. I really like it. Single player but quite unusual. 3rd person shooter set in space with horror elements. Bloody hard too.

Yeah, I ain't paying 67 quid for it though! 😮

I looked at that - but held off so far - might have a look if you're recommending!

If you like stealth games and haven't played it yet @boro-unger, get your hands on ghost of tushima! It was my second favourite game last year behind the last of us 2. It's got a ps5 upgrade free with the PS4 game so doesn't break the bank and looks beautiful. 

Control ultimate edition is also excellent on ps5. 

Do yourself a favour and play Astros playroom first. Quirky little platformer that celebrates the history of PlayStation, comes pre installed for free and only takes about 3 hours to complete but it really sells you on all the new features of the controller as well as being a fun game in its own right.

Spiderman miles Morales is the obvious one, if you've not played the 2018 Spiderman game get the remaster that comes with miles because its also bloody excellent.

Thanks NB4! I have played ghost of tushima on ps4. I liked it as well. Good storyline - i liked that your character wasn't always the ''good guy".

I will play the astros playroom as you suggest and will check out spiderman as i never got that for ps4. I got put off by some negative reviews on Amazon (though i did enjoy the Ps1 spiderman back in 2000, so maybe I'll have to reconsider :D)

Agree with advice about astros - good way to see new controller features.  Spiderman is decent and has good visuals.

Will give Ghost of Tushima a look as was tempted by that.
