00:00We're always complaining that games are expensive, but let's be honest for a second.
00:05Most of them aren't worth anything.
00:07I've regretted so many times buying overhyped garbage that some paid critic swore was good.
00:13So, I did something crazy.
00:15I bought all the major linear PS5 releases to find out which ones are actually worth full price.
00:21And I found 18 games that make you forget money even exists.
00:261. Kina Bridge of Spirits
00:30Kina is one of those games you start thinking, yeah, it looks cute, and suddenly you're fully invested, emotional, and getting beaten up by bosses that simply refuse to let you rest.
00:43The whole world feels carefully crafted, every leaf and every stone placed with care.
00:48But what really surprised me was the heart of the story.
00:52It's simple, sure, but it tackles themes like loss, healing, and responsibility in a surprisingly mature way.
01:01The game doesn't need a huge open world.
01:04It gives you just enough to make every step feel worthwhile.
01:08And the combat?
01:09Way deeper than it looks.
01:10You think it's going to be just a light little action game, and suddenly you're managing parries, dodges, precision arrows, and timing your abilities like you're in a mini Souls game.
01:22Boss fights demand focus, and beating them is incredibly satisfying.
01:27When you finish, you're not thinking about the length of the game or the price.
01:32You're thinking about how warm, emotional, and visually stunning the whole journey was.
01:38It's like playing a Pixar movie mixed with an action challenge, and that combination alone is worth every penny.
01:482. Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2
01:52Space Marine 2 is pure chaos in the most fun way possible.
01:57This isn't a game that wants to lecture you or get philosophical.
02:01It wants you to grab a massive weapon, jump into the battlefield, and destroy aliens as if you were the last hope in the galaxy.
02:10And honestly, that's the charm.
02:12The power fantasy here is insane.
02:15Every strike, every shot, every brutal execution feels heavy and satisfying.
02:21You're not a soldier.
02:22You're a walking tank.
02:23And the game makes sure you feel that every second.
02:26The missions throw you into huge war zones filled with explosions, enemies flooding the field, and your team shouting over the radio.
02:34It's that kind of, oh my god, this is insane energy that makes you smile without even noticing.
02:40Even though it's a linear game, it knows how to mix things up.
02:43One moment you're clearing a corridor, the next you're fighting alongside entire battalions,
02:48and suddenly you're in a desperate last stand straight out of a blockbuster movie.
02:52It doesn't try to be deep or emotional.
02:55It exists to deliver raw fun.
02:58And sometimes, that's exactly what a full-price game needs to be.
03:063. Alan Wake 2
03:08Alan Wake 2 is a game that really surprised me.
03:13It's an experience that gets inside your head and stays there.
03:17It's scary, surreal, atmospheric, and sometimes so intense that you actually need to pause just to breathe.
03:26It's the kind of game where turning off the lights feels like a mistake.
03:29The way Remedy mixes gameplay with live-action scenes is simply insane.
03:35It creates this constant feeling that you're inside a twisted TV show where reality keeps rewriting itself.
03:42Saga's sections feel like a true investigative thriller, full of clues, mind maps, and that constant tension of,
03:50something is really wrong here.
03:53Then you switch to Alan, and everything becomes dreamlike and theatrical, as if reality is melting around him.
04:00It's unsettling in a way that very few games manage to pull off.
04:05And the transitions. Man, the transitions are wild.
04:08It's not a game focused on heavy combat.
04:11It's all about atmosphere, tension, and storytelling.
04:15You play Alan Wake 2 for the mood, for the weirdness, for the feeling of being trapped inside an artist's nightmare.
04:23If you enjoy games that push visuals, push storytelling, and make you think long after you turn off the console,
04:30this one is absolutely worth the full price.
04:33Easily one of the most memorable horror experiences on PS5.
04:384. Black Myth Wukong
04:42Black Myth Wukong feels like it puts you inside an ancient legend, and makes you live it.
04:48Everything. The forests, the mountains, the temples, looks almost too good to be real.
04:53Sometimes you just stop and stare, because the visuals are that impressive.
04:58The combat is the real star. Fast, fluid, and demanding.
05:02Every boss feels like a creature taken straight from Chinese mythology, and each one has its own rhythm you need to learn.
05:10That finally beat him moment hits incredibly hard here.
05:14What makes Wukong so special is how deeply rooted it is in its culture.
05:18It doesn't try to westernize or simplify anything.
05:22The story, the creatures, the music, everything feels authentic and respectful to the legends that inspired the game.
05:29There's a great flow between exploration and combat that grabs you from the very first minute.
05:35No padding, no useless content, just pure focused adventure.
05:39In a world full of games trying to imitate each other, Wukong stands out as something bold, artistic, and unforgettable.
05:48It's the kind of game that reminds you why new IPs still matter.
05:515. Metaphor Re-Fantasio
05:59Metaphor Re-Fantasio is that rare JRPG that already feels different the moment you start it.
06:07It doesn't rely on nostalgia or recycled formulas.
06:11Instead, it builds a world that feels ancient, mysterious, and completely alive.
06:17You can feel the persona DNA and the character designs and the atmosphere, but the game quickly forms its own identity.
06:25The combat system is stylish.
06:27You're constantly switching between carefully planning your moves and improvising on the spot.
06:33And the animations have that, wow, I need to see that again shine.
06:38It hits that perfect sweet spot where battles are strategic without slowing down the pace.
06:44And the world building? Massive.
06:46Everything you discover—villages, ruins, strange creatures—feels like it belongs to a culture older than anything you know.
06:55It gives you the sense that the world existed long before you arrived, and you're just stepping into a story that was already in motion.
07:03But what really sells the game is the personality of the characters.
07:08You start caring about them much faster than you'd expect, and that makes every victory and every loss hit a lot harder.
07:15If you enjoy JRPGs that don't waste your time and actually try to innovate, Metaphor feels like a gift.
07:22Easily worth every dollar.
07:24Silent Hill 2 remake isn't just a graphical upgrade.
07:35It's a masterpiece wrapped in next-gen horror technology.
07:39The remake respects the soul of the original, but adds visuals so disturbing that sometimes you stop and think,
07:45Yeah, I probably shouldn't be seeing this in 4K.
07:49The fog, the lighting, the creature design—everything is sharper, more unsettling, and more terrifying than ever.
07:57Walking through those abandoned streets genuinely makes you feel unsafe.
08:01The game makes silence sound louder than any jump scare.
08:05James' story feels even more personal now.
08:07The improved facial animations make his guilt, confusion, and fear so real that some cutscenes almost hurt to watch.
08:15It's that heavy.
08:16And the pacing?
08:17Still perfect.
08:18Slow, suffocating, intentional.
08:21Combat also got better.
08:23It finally feels like James can defend himself without taking away from the horror.
08:27Enemies are unpredictable, awkward, and disturbing, exactly as they should be.
08:32This is one of those games you don't just play.
08:34You absorb it.
08:35You sit inside the emotion, the tension, the regret.
08:39It's uncomfortable in the best way possible.
08:42And honestly, this remake proves why Silent Hill 2 is still considered a masterpiece.
08:517. God of War Ragnarok
08:54Ragnarok doesn't waste a second of your time.
08:58From the moment the game starts, you're thrown into a world that feels ancient, icy,
09:02and full of gods who, honestly, just need therapy.
09:06And Kratos?
09:07He's still the king of making every strike look like it could split the planet in half.
09:12The story hits hard.
09:15It's emotional, tense, funny at the right moments, and built around characters you genuinely care about.
09:21Watching Kratos struggle to be a father while still being, well, Kratos, makes the journey feel deeply personal.
09:29Combat is brutal, fast, and heavier than any other action game out there.
09:35Every axe throw is perfect.
09:37Every shield bash feels like a car crash.
09:40And switching between weapons mid-fight turns every encounter into a small action puzzle.
09:46The linear structure helps a lot.
09:48No bloated open world.
09:50No unnecessary padding.
09:51Just pure, focused adventure with some of the best cinematic moments the PS5 has ever seen.
09:58By the time the credits roll, you feel like you've experienced something big.
10:02Something meaningful.
10:03Ragnarok is exactly what a full-price game should be.
10:07Polished, emotional, and unforgettable.
10:148. Returnal
10:16Returnal is the kind of game that surprises you, and basically says,
10:20you're not leaving until you master this.
10:23And strangely, you're grateful for it.
10:25It's fast, chaotic, mysterious, and absolutely gorgeous,
10:30even when it's killing you for the 27th time.
10:33The movement alone already makes the game worth playing.
10:37Selene feels light yet powerful.
10:39And dodging neon projectiles in slow-motion environments
10:42is the closest the PS5 gets to pure gameplay bliss.
10:46It's a dance.
10:48One where the game leads, and you try not to step on your own feet.
10:52The story unfolds like a psychological puzzle.
10:55Each attempt reveals a secret, and the more you discover,
10:58the more you realize things aren't what they seem.
11:01The house sequences?
11:03Yeah, those moments stay with you.
11:06And the structure is perfect for a linear experience.
11:10No filler, no boring side quests,
11:12just handcrafted biomes that evolve as you improve.
11:16Every run feels like a new attempt at understanding the planet
11:19and the character herself.
11:21Not everyone will finish Returnal,
11:24but everyone who does walks away feeling proud.
11:27This game respects your time, your skill, and your curiosity.
11:31And that alone makes it worth every cent.
11:379.
11:38Lost Soul Aside
11:39Lost Soul Aside feels like one of those games that came out of nowhere just to flex.
11:46The combat is insanely fast.
11:48Like, Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy had a hyperactive baby who loves particle effects.
11:55Every slash, every dodge, every combo has this stylish flow
11:59that makes you feel like you're controlling an anime fight scene in real time.
12:03The main duo, Kaser and his creature companion,
12:07have this cool dynamic that gives the game a lighter tone than you'd expect.
12:11Their banter adds personality to the world,
12:14and it keeps things from feeling too heavy even when the story gets dramatic.
12:18What really surprised me was how polished the animations are.
12:22The transitions between moves,
12:24the mid-air combos,
12:26the teleport strikes,
12:27everything connects smoothly,
12:29making the combat feel almost rhythmic.
12:31It's like the game wants you to look cool even if you're just button mashing it first.
12:37The world is linear but packed with set pieces and fast-paced encounters,
12:41which honestly is exactly the type of pacing this combat style deserves.
12:46Nothing drags.
12:47Nothing wastes your time.
12:49You're just constantly thrown into another flashy moment you didn't expect.
12:53If you want a game that keeps your heart rate up
12:56and makes you feel like the main character of a high-budget action anime,
13:00this one delivers big time.
13:0510. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
13:08Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is basically a Pixar movie you can control,
13:13and sometimes it even looks better than Pixar.
13:16Seriously, the first time you jump between dimensions at high speed,
13:19you immediately understand why this game exists on PS5.
13:23No loading, no slowdown, just pure console flex.
13:28Ratchet, Clank, and Rivet brings so much charm that every cutscene feels like a warm hug.
13:33The writing is light, funny, and heartfelt.
13:36And you genuinely care about the characters, even if you're new to the series.
13:40It's family-friendly without ever feeling childish.
13:43Gameplay-wise, everything feels incredibly smooth.
13:46The weapons are creative and fun in that classic Ratchet style,
13:51like throwing a disco ball to make enemies dance while you blast them.
13:55The DualSense support is still some of the best on the console.
13:58The pacing is flawless.
14:01Every level is well-crafted, every moment pushes you forward,
14:04and the game knows exactly when to switch from combat to platforming to story.
14:08No filler, no boring padding, just pure fun from start to finish.
14:12If you want a creative game packed with action, Rift Apart is worth every penny.
14:2111. The Last of Us Part 1
14:24The Last of Us Part 1 doesn't just remake a classic.
14:28It elevates it.
14:30The new facial animations hit so hard that scenes you already knew suddenly feel fresh and emotionally heavier.
14:37Watching Joel and Ellie interact with this level of detail
14:40makes their bond feel even more real.
14:43The gameplay isn't radically different, but the polish is undeniable.
14:47Gunplay feels tighter, stealth feels cleaner,
14:50and every encounter hits harder thanks to the improved AI.
14:54Enemies are smarter, more aggressive, and sometimes genuinely creepy.
14:58And the environments.
15:00Wow!
15:01The lighting, the texture work, the atmosphere.
15:03It feels like the world finally matches the tone of the story.
15:07Every abandoned room and ruined street tells a story without saying anything.
15:12But the magic is still the journey itself.
15:15That slow build between Joel and Ellie is one of the best character arcs gaming has ever had.
15:21Even if you've played it before, the remake makes you appreciate the story in a new way.
15:27It's a linear adventure done at the highest possible level,
15:30and it reminds you how powerful narrative-driven games can be.
15:3712. Demon's Souls
15:39Demon's Souls on PS5 is the definition of this is how you remake a game.
15:46You boot it up, and instantly you're hit with maybe the best visuals the system has ever produced.
15:53The castles, the fog, the lighting.
15:56It all feels like walking through a dark fantasy painting.
15:59The difficulty is still very much intact.
16:02This is the OG Souls brutality.
16:05The kind that doesn't care how good you think you are.
16:08But the controls are way smoother now, so every death feels fair, even if it still hurts.
16:15Exploration hits different here.
16:18Each area has its own vibe.
16:20Some lonely, some terrifying, some just straight up oppressive.
16:24When you finally beat a boss, you don't celebrate because you won.
16:29You celebrate because the game finally lets you breathe again.
16:33What makes this remake stand out is how respectful it is.
16:37It modernizes everything, without changing the soul, no pun intended, of the original.
16:43You still feel that same unsettling atmosphere that defined the series,
16:48just amplified with current-gen power.
16:50If you love challenge, mood, and that unique from-software flavor,
16:56Demon's Souls is absolutely worth the money,
16:59and maybe the prettiest punishment you'll ever experience.
17:0513. Astro Bot
17:08Astro Bot surprised a lot of people at launch.
17:11It's the kind of game you boot up thinking it's just going to be a cute little tech demo,
17:15and suddenly you're smiling like an idiot because every tiny detail overflows with charm.
17:22It celebrates PlayStation's history in a way that feels like a love letter, not a nostalgia trap.
17:28The DualSense here is absolutely insane.
17:31Every vibration, every texture, every tiny sensation in the controller feels like magic.
17:36It's the one game that really makes you think,
17:40oh, that's why the PS5 controller exists.
17:43The level design is tight, creative, and packed with surprises.
17:48One moment you're going through a classic platforming section,
17:50and the next you're doing something you didn't even know the PS5 was capable of.
17:54It keeps reinventing itself without ever losing its identity.
17:58Even if you're not a platformer fam, Astro Bot wins you over with pure fun.
18:03It's light, joyful, and has zero slow moments.
18:07It's one of the few linear games that feels like it was made to make you smile from beginning to end.
18:12If you want something simple, well-crafted, beautifully polished, and full of soul,
18:17this is absolutely essential.
18:2214. Mafia The Old Country
18:25Mafia The Old Country hits a very specific vibe,
18:30that cinematic, mafia drama energy,
18:33where every conversation feels like a negotiation,
18:37and every mission feels like it could go wrong at any second.
18:41The story is easily the biggest reason to play it.
18:44It's mature, grounded, and full of characters who feel like real people instead of caricatures.
18:50The pacing is excellent.
18:53The game doesn't waste time with open-world filler,
18:55it moves from story moment to mission with that tight, movie-like rhythm that keeps you hooked.
19:01It almost feels like binge-watching an Italian crime miniseries,
19:05where you're the one pulling the trigger.
19:07Visually, it nails the atmosphere.
19:10Smoky bars, rain-soaked streets,
19:13old cars with that heavy engine noise.
19:15Everything feels authentic.
19:17The lighting, especially, makes the city feel alive in a very gritty, old-school way.
19:24Combat is straightforward but satisfying.
19:26It's not about flashy mechanics, it's about tension.
19:30The shootouts feel like desperate situations where one wrong peak can get you dropped.
19:34And because the game is so story-focused, every kill actually feels like it matters.
19:39If you want a linear game with strong writing and a world you can sink into like a good crime novel,
19:46Mafia delivers hard.
19:5215. Resident Evil 4 Remake
19:55Resident Evil 4 Remake is one of those rare games that takes a classic everyone already loves
20:00and somehow makes it even better.
20:03It feels familiar, but also sharper, faster, and way more intense.
20:07The atmosphere is darker, the tension is higher,
20:10and the encounters hit even harder than before.
20:13The pacing is perfect.
20:14It never slows down too much, never drags,
20:17and always throws something new at you.
20:19One moment you're defending a cabin with Ashley,
20:21the next you're facing off against some grotesque mutation
20:24that makes you want to take a step back from the TV.
20:27Combat feels amazing.
20:28Guns have weight, enemies react realistically,
20:31and melee finishers are more satisfying than ever.
20:34It's a beautiful mix of action and horror
20:36where you're powerful but never safe.
20:39And those chainsaw ganados?
20:41Terrifying.
20:42Absolutely terrifying.
20:43Ashley is also way better this time around.
20:46She's more helpful, less annoying,
20:48and actually feels like a character instead of a chore.
20:51Her interactions with Leon add a lot of personality to the journey.
20:55As a linear experience, it's practically flawless.
20:58Every chapter has purpose,
21:00every set piece is memorable,
21:01and the whole adventure feels like Capcom at their absolute best.
21:0916. A Plague Tale Requiem
21:12A Plague Tale Requiem is one of the rare games
21:16that manages to maintain the quality of the first one.
21:19It's emotional, heavy, and filled with scenes that stay in your mind
21:23long after you turn off the console.
21:25Amicia and Hugo carry this story,
21:28with performances that feel painfully human.
21:31The game is stunning,
21:32the kind of beauty that makes you stop just to admire the scenery.
21:36But the beauty doesn't soften the darkness.
21:39The rats are more terrifying than ever.
21:41The world feels harsher,
21:43and the sense of danger is constant.
21:45Gameplay remains focused on stealth and survival,
21:48but everything is more mature and more intense.
21:50Amicia's combat options have improved,
21:53but the game never turns into a power fantasy.
21:56Every fight feels desperate.
21:58Every choice feels costly.
22:00The linear structure keeps the narrative sharp.
22:03It moves from moment to moment with purpose,
22:05building tension and emotional weight
22:07until everything finally explodes in the final chapters.
22:11And when it does, it hits hard.
22:13Harder than you expect.
22:15Requiem isn't just a good game.
22:17It's the kind of story-driven experience that stays with you.
22:21If you enjoy emotional adventures and deep narratives,
22:24this one is absolutely worth it.
22:3017. Dead Space Remake
22:33Dead Space Remake is one of those games
22:35that makes you appreciate linear design again.
22:38There's no free roaming, no side missions,
22:41no unnecessary padding.
22:43It's just you, a creepy abandoned ship,
22:46and pure survival horror.
22:48And man, the Ishimura has never looked this good.
22:51The lighting alone tells half the story.
22:54Every corridor feels like it's hiding something.
22:57And of course, it usually is.
22:59What I like most is how the game
23:01slowly breaks you down psychologically.
23:04You start off confident,
23:05blasting monsters apart,
23:07and then the game starts messing with your head.
23:09Audio logs, hallucinations,
23:12whispers in the corners,
23:14everything is designed to make you paranoid.
23:16Even the zero-gravity segments feel uncomfortable,
23:19because you never know where something might come from.
23:23And now Isaac actually talks,
23:25which makes the story hit a lot harder.
23:28But the best part?
23:29The remake fully respects the original,
23:32while fixing literally everything that was annoying back in 2008.
23:36The map, the controls, the movement,
23:39everything feels tighter and more natural.
23:42It's one of the few remakes that truly feels like a real evolution.
23:46If you want an intense, focused game
23:48that doesn't waste a single second of your time,
23:51this one is absolutely essential.
23:53If you want something different,
24:04like truly different,
24:06Claire Obscure Expedition 33
24:08is one of the boldest linear RPGs in years.
24:11The whole world is surreal,
24:13like a dream that feels beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
24:17The art direction alone makes this worth playing.
24:20It's like every frame is a painting
24:21you want to stare at a little longer.
24:23The weirdest and coolest part is the combat.
24:27It makes this turn-based mechanics
24:28with real-time dodging, blocking, and precision timing.
24:32So even though it's an RPG at heart,
24:35you can't just sit there mashing buttons.
24:36You actually have to react.
24:38And it creates this addicting rhythm
24:40where every fight feels like a little boss battle.
24:43But the story is where the game shines.
24:45You're basically trying to break a cursed cycle
24:47where an artist paints the number 33 every year,
24:50and the moment she finishes the painting,
24:52everyone with that age just dies.
24:55It's dark, emotional, and strangely poetic.
24:59The game never tries to be flashy or triple-A loud.
25:02It just delivers a tight, focused adventure
25:04that stays with you long after the credits roll.
25:08And that's it.
25:09If you're tired of wasting money on games
25:11that don't respect your time,
25:13these are the ones that actually deliver from start to finish.
25:16If you've played any of them,
25:18tell me which one you'd recommend first.
25:20And if I missed a hidden gem,
25:22drop it in the comments so I can check it out.
25:24Thanks for watching, take care,
25:25and I'll see you in the next one.
