00:00The worst thing for a gamer is buying a game and realizing it's absolute garbage the moment you
00:06start playing. I've wasted so much money on overrated games that critics swore were 10 out
00:12of 10. So I decided to buy a bunch of games myself to find out which ones are actually worth paying
00:18full price for. I picked 18 games that you'll definitely feel good about spending your money on.
00:231. Donkey Kong Bonanza. I'm not exaggerating when I say Donkey Kong Bonanza is pure nostalgia in game
00:33form. It's one of those titles that instantly throws you back into that classic Nintendo vibe
00:38but with such a smooth modern polish that everything feels brand new again. And seriously,
00:43the soundtrack alone puts you in a good mood even if you weren't expecting it. The whole energy of
00:49the game is just fun. No stress, no complicated menus, nothing trying to pretend it's deep or
00:55cinematic. It's just good, simple gameplay from the moment you pick up the controller.
01:01What really surprised me is how tight and satisfying the platforming is. You know that rare feeling when
01:07the controls are so good it feels like your brain and the game are perfectly synced? That's Bonanza.
01:13Every jump, every bounce, every moment you chain moves together is insanely smooth.
01:17And the level design keeps throwing new ideas at you. Not the annoying kind, but the ones that make
01:23you go, oh dang, that's cool, didn't see that coming. But the best part? It has that charm only
01:29Donkey Kong games have. This perfect mix of goofy, fun, and stylish. You can literally feel the love
01:35the devs put into this game. And honestly, with how expensive games are these days, it's refreshing
01:40to play something that just wants to be fun instead of pretending it's some kind of Oscar-worthy
01:45masterpiece. Bonanza is worth every penny, because it reminds you exactly why gaming is
01:50so awesome in the first place.
01:552. Horizon Forbidden West
01:58Horizon Forbidden West is one of those games that makes you stop playing for a second just
02:02to stare at how ridiculous the graphics are. I'm serious, sometimes I'd catch myself just
02:08looking around like a tourist who accidentally walked into the future. But here's the thing,
02:14the game isn't just pretty. It actually feels incredible to play. The movement, the combat,
02:21the way Aloy flows from sneaking to shooting to sliding down hills, it all feels insanely smooth.
02:28And I know some people say open world games feel like chores, but Forbidden West doesn't hit you with
02:33that, ugh, another checklist feeling. Instead, it makes you actually want to explore. You see a giant
02:41robot bird flying overhead, and your brain goes, yeah, I'm definitely fighting that thing today.
02:48And somehow, every fight feels unique. It's like the machines have personalities,
02:54angry personalities, and you're constantly learning new ways to take them down.
02:59Aloy too feels more real in this game. She's confident without being annoying,
03:05tough without trying to act like a superhero. And the side characters? Surprisingly good.
03:11Like, I didn't expect to care about these people, but now I weirdly do good.
03:17The story hits harder than I expected, especially in the later moments where everything gets bigger
03:22and crazier. Forbidden West is one of those games you finish and immediately think,
03:28yeah, this was worth the price. No regrets. It's the kind of experience that makes the PS5
03:34feel like it's actually being used properly.
03:403. Black Myth Wukong
03:43Okay, listen. Black Myth Wukong is one of those games where the moment you start playing,
03:49you're like, oh yeah, this is something special. The animations alone are insane.
03:55Every movement from the Monkey King looks so clean and so sharp that it almost feels like the controller
04:02is vibrating in anticipation. And the combat? Man, the combat hits different. It's weighty,
04:09fast, and honestly, kind of addictive. What I love is that the game never tries to baby you.
04:15It respects your skill, or lack of it, but it never becomes unfair. Every boss feels like a showdown,
04:22not just a roadblock. And the bosses? Some of the coolest designs I've seen in years.
04:29They're weird, creepy, mythological, sometimes even beautiful in a strange way.
04:34It's like playing inside a moving painting. But what shocked me the most is how the world feels.
04:41It's not big in the giant open world sense, but it feels alive in a deeper way.
04:46The forests, the temples, the weird, mystical caves. Everything has this atmosphere that makes
04:53you want to slow down and take it all in. It's dark without being gloomy, mystical without being
04:59confusing, and stylish without trying too hard. Wukong is the kind of game you buy because you want
05:05something different. And it delivers. It feels like a passion project made by people who truly love
05:12this story. And honestly, I'd pay full price again without even thinking twice. This is gaming at
05:19its coolest.
05:234. Days Gone Remastered. Days Gone Remastered is one of those games that people slept on for way too long,
05:31and I'll die on that hill. It's not trying to be some prestige, artsy masterpiece. It's just a damn
05:37good game with heart. And on the PS5, dude, it's a completely different experience. The smooth frame
05:44rate alone makes the bike feel like an extension of your hands. You feel every slide, every sharp turn,
05:50every moment you're barely outrunning a horde. And speaking of hordes, that's the part that still
05:55blows my mind. Games talk about having a lot of enemies, but Days Gone throws actual walls of
06:02zombies at you. The first time I saw a horde coming around a corner, I swear I forgot how to breathe
06:07for a second. It's chaotic, stressful, and ridiculously fun. You're constantly planning
06:13escape routes, traps, and backup plans on the fly. What makes it even better is how grounded
06:18it feels. Deacon isn't some superhero. He's just a dude trying to survive and hold on to what's left
06:24of his life. And weirdly enough, that makes him way more relatable than most overly heroic game
06:29protagonists. The story actually grows on you the more you play, especially the emotional moments
06:35with Booza. It feels like a friendship you genuinely care about. Days Gone is absolutely
06:40worth full price in its remastered form. It may not be perfect for everyone, but if you love
06:45open-world survival mixed with emotional storytelling and crazy action moments, this is one of the
06:51best games you can buy.
06:555. The Last of Us Part 2
06:58The Last of Us Part 2 is one of those games that punches you right in the chest and doesn't
07:03apologize. I'm not even kidding. This game sticks with you long after you turn off the console.
07:09The combat feels raw and desperate, like every fight actually matters. And the animations? They're
07:16so insanely detailed that you sometimes forget you're playing a game. What I love most is how
07:22personal everything feels. Ellie isn't some perfect hero. She's messy, emotional, angry, confused,
07:29basically human. And because of that, every decision hits harder. The story takes risks,
07:36real risks, the kind most studios would never even consider. You'll have moments where you're
07:41literally arguing with yourself about who's right and who's wrong. And that's what makes it great.
07:47Whether you agree with the direction or not, this is a game you absolutely feel. And by the time the
07:53credits roll, you know exactly why it deserves every penny.
08:006. Resident Evil 4 Remake
08:03Resident Evil 4 Remake is pure satisfaction. Like Capcom grabbed the original game,
08:09injected it with adrenaline, and handed it back saying,
08:12you're welcome. The controls are smoother, the combat feels tighter, and everything just has this
08:17modern snap to it that makes the whole thing feel brand new again. Leon is still that perfect mix
08:24of sarcastic and badass. And the new atmosphere makes every village, castle hallway, and creepy
08:30underground room feel 10 times more intense. And I swear, the sound design alone is worth the price of
08:36admission. You hear something behind you and instantly panic. What makes this remake so good is
08:42that it respects the original, but isn't afraid to add its own flavor. It's fun, fast, replayable,
08:48and honestly one of the easiest games to recommend at full price.
08:557. Elden Ring
08:58Elden Ring is that game you buy just to try, and suddenly you look up and six hours have disappeared.
09:05The world is ridiculously huge, but not in that boring, empty, open world way. It's
09:11packed with weird secrets, terrifying bosses, and moments that make you stop and whisper,
09:17no way, to yourself. What surprised me most is how freeing it feels. If you're stuck,
09:24you just leave and do something else. No pressure, no walls, no forced path. And somehow that makes
09:32the victories feel even sweeter. You're not just beating a boss, you're overcoming something you
09:37genuinely worked for. And yeah, the game is hard, but not unfair. It teaches you,
09:43pushes you, and then lets you crush things that once terrified you. It's the definition of money well
09:50spent. 8. God of War Ragnarok
09:58God of War Ragnarok feels like a game made by people who absolutely refuse to cut corners. Every moment feels
10:05handcrafted from the insane boss fights to the quiet character conversations that hit way harder than
10:12you'd expect. Kratos is still a beast, obviously, but what makes Ragnarok amazing is how emotional
10:19and grounded the story is. You see him trying to be better, struggling with fatherhood, dealing with
10:25guilt, and all of that builds into these massive, epic moments that feel earned. The gameplay is
10:31unbelievably smooth. Switching weapons mid-fight honestly feels illegal with how good it is. And
10:37the world, gorgeous from start to finish. This is one of those rare sequels that actually surpasses
10:44the original, and it's absolutely worth every cent.
10:539. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
10:56Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the kind of game that reminds you why JRPGs used to completely own your
11:02childhood. This thing is massive. Not just in size, but in personality, creativity, and pure heart.
11:09From the moment you step into the grasslands, everything feels alive. The music, the characters,
11:14the goofy side quests, even the random NPCs who look like they're having a better life than you.
11:19What I love most about Rebirth is how it balances nostalgia with surprises.
11:24You think you know what's coming because of the original, and then the game flips everything upside
11:29down in a way that feels bold, not disrespectful. Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, they feel more human
11:36than ever, and the character banter is honestly one of the best parts of the whole experience.
11:41And the combat? Dude, it's perfect! It's smooth, fast, tactical, and just crunchy in the best way.
11:49Every boss fight feels like a mini-event, like something you'll tell your friends about later.
11:53Exploring the open areas, doing silly mini-games, getting emotional in the story,
11:57it all blends into this experience that's way better than it has any right to be.
12:02Rebirth is one of those games where you finish it and genuinely miss the characters.
12:06You don't just pay for a game, you pay for a whole adventure.
12:09This series is honestly one of the most underrated in gaming.
12:22Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 proves that you don't need dragons, magic, or some world-ending prophecy
12:29to make an RPG feel epic. Instead, it drops you into a brutally realistic medieval world
12:35and basically says, good luck, buddy.
12:38What I always loved about Kingdom Come is how human everything feels. Henry isn't a chosen hero.
12:45He's just a guy trying to survive, learn, and get by in a world that's way harsher than he is.
12:50And that makes every victory feel personal. When you finally master a sword fight, you actually earned it.
12:57When you negotiate something successfully, you feel clever. When you screw up, yeah, that's on you.
13:05The world itself feels dirty, alive, and extremely believable. You can almost smell the mud on the
13:11roads and the smoke from the villages. And the moral choices hit differently. Because they're not
13:16about saving the world, they're about what kind of person Henry becomes. This is a rare type of game
13:21that respects your time, your intelligence, and your curiosity. And for that reason alone, it's absolutely
13:28worth paying for. 11. Claire Obscure Expedition 33. This game came out of nowhere and instantly became
13:40one of the most unique RPGs I've ever played. Claire Obscure Expedition 33 feels like if someone mixed
13:47Final Fantasy, French art, dark fantasy, and pure imagination, then somehow made it all actually work.
13:55The visual style is insane. Every scene looks like a painting brought to life. There's this
14:02weird mix of beauty and sadness running through the entire world. Like, everything is gorgeous,
14:08but also slightly broken. And that matches the story perfectly. The whole premise of trying to break a
14:15deadly cycle hits harder than you'd expect. Combat is turn-based, but not in the old-school,
14:21just press attack way. You're actually dodging, timing hits, reacting in real time. And that makes
14:28every battle feel intense instead of slow. Some of the bosses feel like full-blung performances.
14:36But what really sold me are the characters. They're flawed, emotional, complicated, and surprisingly
14:44relatable. This game makes you care without forcing it. And when a game does that, you know it's something
14:51special. It's the kind of experience that feels artistic, but still fun. Not pretentious, not boring,
14:59just genuinely memorable.
15:0112. Astro Bot
15:07I'm going to be real with you. Astro Bot is pure joy in video game form. This is one of those games
15:13where you start smiling five minutes in and don't stop until the credits roll. It's creative, colorful,
15:20nostalgic, and honestly kind of magical. Astro doesn't need gritty stories or giant open worlds. It wins you
15:27over with personality. Every level has some goofy idea that makes you think, why don't more devs do this?
15:34The DualSense integration is still some of the best on the PS5, and this game actually uses the
15:39controller to make you feel stuff, not just buzz for no reason. And the references? Oh man, this thing is
15:46a love letter to PlayStation history. You're constantly spotting characters, moments, and details from across
15:53decades of gaming. And it never feels forced. Most importantly, Astro Bot isn't just cute,
16:00it's fun. Tight controls, great pacing, clever level design. Everything comes together like a
16:06team of devs who genuinely love what they're making. It's the kind of game that reminds you
16:11why you started playing games in the first place.
16:1713. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut
16:20Ghost of Tsushima is one of those games that hits you instantly. Like, the first 10 minutes are enough
16:26to make you stop and go, okay, this is something special. The director's cut just elevates everything
16:33even more. Visually, the game looks like an actual moving painting. I'm not exaggerating. There are
16:40moments where the wind, the grass, the colors, and the lighting blend in such a perfect way that you
16:46genuinely want to pause and take a screenshot. But this game isn't just pretty, it has soul.
16:53Jin's story is emotional without trying too hard. You feel every internal conflict, every moment he
16:59questions who he is, every time he chooses between honor and survival. And honestly, the game makes you
17:06think in a way most open worlds don't. The sword combat is just, man, it's so clean. Every strike,
17:14every parry, every duel feels like you're starring in your own samurai movie. And when you jump into
17:20Icky Island and the director's cut, the emotional weight becomes even heavier. The expansion digs into
17:26Jin's past in a raw, painful way that makes the whole story richer. This is one of those rare games
17:32that makes you slow down, appreciate the world, and then immediately jump into a fight that makes
17:38you feel like the coolest person alive.
17:4714. Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 isn't just a game, it's a full-on experience. It's weird, unsettling,
17:56beautiful, smart, and honestly one of the most creative things released in years. You don't
18:02even have to be a horror fan to appreciate what Remedy did here. The atmosphere is unmatched. The
18:08whole world feels like it's constantly shifting between nightmare and reality, and the game never
18:14lets you get too comfortable. Even walking through a quiet room feels tense, because you never know
18:19what's coming next. But it's not just jump scares, it's psychological, slow burn, something is
18:25seriously wrong here type of horror. Saga and Alan are both amazing characters, and switching
18:32between their perspectives makes the story feel bigger and deeper. And the live action segments?
18:38Dude, they're insane. No other AAA game does stuff like this with so much confidence. Every chapter
18:45feels different, like the game is constantly reinventing itself, and somehow it still feels cohesive. If you
18:52want something bold, ambitious, and memorable, this game is absolutely worth every dollar.
19:02Number 15. Death Stranding Director's Cut. Death Stranding is the most love it or hate it game on this
19:09list, and honestly, I love it. Not in a it's perfect way, but in a this is one of the most unique experiences
19:17gaming has ever given me way. There's something weirdly therapeutic about walking through these
19:23empty landscapes, planning your route, building structures, and just trying to keep your delivery
19:29safe. It feels quiet, almost meditative at times, and then the game hits you with a BT encounter and
19:35your heart rate jumps into the red. The Director's Cut adds so many quality of life improvements that it
19:41feels like the way the game always should have launched. More tools, more missions, better
19:46performance, new gadgets. All small changes, but they make the world feel richer and more rewarding.
19:53What keeps me coming back is the sense of connection. Even though you're alone, the structures other
19:59players leave behind genuinely matter. It feels like everyone is quietly helping each other survive.
20:05No toxicity, no competition, just cooperation. It's different. It's weird, but it's special.
20:1616. Far Cry 5. Far Cry 5 is the definition of a fun game that actually respects your time. It doesn't
20:26try to be too serious, but it has enough of a story to keep you engaged, and that balance makes it incredibly
20:33easy to lose hours just exploring the world. Hope County feels like a real place. The forests, the
20:41rivers, the small towns. Everything has this authentic rural American vibe that somehow manages to be both
20:49peaceful and dangerous at the same time. You might be quietly fishing one second and then suddenly get
20:55attacked by a bear, a cultist, or a plane dropping bombs on you. The villains are some of the best in the
21:02franchise. Joseph Seed is calm in that disturbing, I know something you don't way, and his whole family
21:10brings a different flavor of crazy to every region. They're memorable without being cartoonish. Combat is
21:18classic Far Cry chaos. Explosions everywhere, outposts to liberate, animals going wild, companions doing the
21:26dumbest stuff imaginable, and somehow saving you in the process. It's messy, funny, unpredictable gameplay at
21:34its best. If you're paying for entertainment value, this game gives you a lot for your money.
21:4417. Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of those games that feels less like a game,
21:52and more like a world you step into. Rockstar didn't just build a map, they built a living,
21:58breathing piece of art that reacts to you, changes with you, and sometimes punches you in the heart
22:04when you least expect it. Arthur Morgan might be one of the best written characters in gaming ever. You
22:10don't just play as him, you connect with him. His arc hits hard because it feels slow, real, and human.
22:17And the crazy thing is, the game doesn't force those emotional moments. They just happen naturally as you
22:22explore, talk to people, and make choices. Then there's the world. Dude, the amount of detail is
22:28ridiculous. Every town feels unique, every camp moment feels personal, and every random encounter feels
22:34like a tiny story someone crafted just for you. Even riding your horse across the plains feels emotional
22:40sometimes. You hear the music quietly kick in, and suddenly you're in a movie. And yeah, the pacing
22:47is slow, but it's intentional. It gives the world weight. It makes the journey matter. This is one of
22:52the few games where I finished the story and honestly felt empty afterward, like I'd said goodbye to
22:58someone important. It's worth every cent and then some.
23:0718. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart
23:11Rift Apart is basically a Pixar movie you can play, and honestly, it might be one of the most
23:16instantly fun games on the PS5. The movement is smooth, the combat is flashy, and the weapons are
23:23so ridiculous that you can't help but grin every time you pull the trigger. What really stands out
23:28is how alive everything feels. The worlds are colorful, packed with tiny details, and full of that
23:35goofy charm Ratchet and Clank has always had. And Rift mechanics? Man, jumping between dimensions in real
23:42time never stops being cool. The PS5's power really shows here. No loading screens, no waiting, just instant
23:50chaos. Rivet steals the show too. She's energetic, emotional, funny, and easily one of the best new
23:57characters Sony has introduced in years. Her chemistry with Ratchet makes the story feel way more heartfelt
24:04than you expect from a game with talking robots and explosive sheep guns. It's short, sweet, and
24:11absolutely packed with personality. This is one of those games that reminds you gaming doesn't always
24:16need to be deep. Sometimes it just needs to be fun. Alright, that's the list. 18 games that are
24:23actually worth paying for. No hype, no sponsored nonsense, just real experiences that give you your
24:30money's worth. If even one of these caught your eye, don't overthink it. Go play it. Thanks for hanging
24:36out, hit the like button if you enjoyed the video, and I'll see you in the next one. Now go play something great.
