Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact took the gaming world by storm with its breathtaking sceneries, immersive music, and engaging story. In addition, the game features open-world gameplay where players encounter monsters and NPCs that share a bit of the world.
The story follows a pair of twins that used to be gods, but they separated when an unknown god caught them. The protagonist of the story is one of the twins that the player will choose. However, the story won’t be affected by the selected twin.
Besides its characters, the game’s main appeal is its battle system which revolves around elemental reactions. Each character has a unique element, except for the player’s selected twin, which can theoretically control all elements.
The seven elements, Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Geo, Anemo, Dendro, and Electro, has one god each. Each god governs a different region in Teyvat, the name of the game’s world. Moreover, each region is themed around real-life areas, such as the city of Mondstat was based on Germany.
Although the game is free-to-play, it has some in-game transactions that allow you to get your favorite character and their respective weapon using the gacha system. Even still, the game is still enjoyable even if you don’t own the character of your choosing!
Apex Legends
One of the most famous Battle Royale games, Apex Legends, is playable on the PS5 despite its movement-centered playstyle. You’ll play the Apex Games with two other people and survive the onslaught of battle that will ravage the arena!
Apex has 19 playable agents, each with varying roles, playstyles, and abilities. Therefore, besides mechanical skills, you also need to strategize your team composition and play style according to what map is currently being played.
Apex also has the signature “the circle,” the same as another battle royale, first-person shooters. The circle is a way to force players to fight each other by shrinking the map, thus, limiting each game to approximately 30 minutes.
Apex is the best game to play if you love fast-paced games that require quick, in-the-moment thinking! Moreover, Apex Legends has a cross-play function, which means you can play with your friends using other consoles or even from PCs!
Fall Guys
Another battle royale entry on our list, Fall Guys, added a twist to the conventional way of battle royales. This platformer, obstacle course, and racing battle royale is an entertaining game due to its wacky, cartoonish character designs and goofy movements.
Although Fall Guys is fun and easy to learn and master, the challenges are always challenging. The game is best played with your friends as you test each other over who gets to stand on the final platform!
