00:00Man, PS5 games are expensive.
00:0370 bucks for a game is no joke.
00:06So when you buy something, you expect it to be worth it, right?
00:09I've played dozens of titles to find the ones that really respect your time and your money.
00:14Here are 18 games that deliver way more than they cost.
00:18Alright, let's go!
00:211. Silent Hill 2 Remake
00:23Kicking off the list with a certified masterpiece that is absolutely worth every penny,
00:29Silent Hill 2 Remake.
00:31This isn't just a prettier version of an old game.
00:34This is a definitive psychological horror experience.
00:38You pay for the atmosphere and the dread.
00:40The sheer level of detail the PS5 provides here makes the town of Silent Hill
00:44feel more suffocating and terrifying than ever.
00:47The fog, the unsettling sounds, the new camera angle.
00:52It all intensifies that deep, gnawing fear.
00:55It's the kind of game that sticks with you long after you turn the console off.
00:59The story of James Sunderland is legendary for a reason.
01:02It's a profound, mature, and deeply tragic narrative about grief and guilt.
01:07Playing through his journey and encountering the iconic monsters like Pyramid Head
01:11is a necessary experience for any serious gamer.
01:15The gameplay is intentionally clunky during combat, which perfectly reinforces the horror.
01:20You're not a hero.
01:21You're just a broken man trying to survive.
01:23But the puzzle solving and exploration are top tier.
01:27My only hesitation is that it's a slow burn, not a jump scare fest.
01:32But for delivering one of the most important and emotionally resonant narratives in gaming
01:36history with modern polish, this is a must-buy that delivers immense value.
01:412. Split Fiction
01:47Next up, let's talk about a new IP that totally justifies its full price tag
01:53through sheer innovation and replayability.
01:56Split Fiction
01:57The unique value here is the simultaneous dual gameplay.
02:02This game completely messes with your head.
02:05You're playing two separate campaigns with two different characters in two completely different
02:12genres.
02:13Say, a stealth-focused sci-fi adventure and a top-down fantasy RPG.
02:17And the actions you take in one world directly and instantly affect the environment and events
02:23in the other.
02:24It's a puzzle box disguised as an action game.
02:28The gameplay loop forces you to think spatially across two parallel realities.
02:33Mastering the transition mechanic is where the value lies.
02:37It's not just a gimmick.
02:38It constantly introduces fresh challenges and incredible aha moments.
02:43The story is equally compelling, focusing on two intertwined narratives that slowly reveal
02:49a massive cosmic conspiracy.
02:52The protagonists are instantly engaging, and their connection across dimensions is the emotional
02:57core.
02:58If I had to complain, the sheer complexity can be a little overwhelming at first.
03:03But for a game that gives you two fully fleshed-out experiences that constantly interact, offering
03:09an unbelievably unique kind of narrative and puzzle-solving depth, Split Fiction is an easy
03:14recommendation.
03:15It's a huge value proposition.
03:213.
03:22Black Myth Wukong
03:23Alright, let's talk pure, unadulterated action value with Black Myth Wukong.
03:30When you pay $70 for this, you're paying for an epic, high-stakes battle experience and
03:36incredible visual fidelity.
03:39The value is in the spectacle and the boss fights.
03:42Based on Journey to the West, the game throws you into visually jaw-dropping battles against
03:47massive, intricate bosses drawn from Chinese mythology.
03:52That feeling of finally mastering the patterns and taking down a towering beast is the ultimate
03:57gaming satisfaction loop.
04:00The gameplay is a demanding souls-like that respects your skill.
04:04Playing as Wukong, you have access to incredible magical transformations and abilities that add
04:10a phenomenal flair and tactical depth to the combat.
04:13It's fast, brutal, and requires absolute focus.
04:18The world design, based on classic mythology, is breathtakingly unique.
04:22Every environment and creature is rendered with stunning detail on the PS5, making the exploration
04:28feel like you're stepping into an ancient, dangerous storybook.
04:32My main worry for some people is the difficulty level.
04:36It's high.
04:37But honestly, the sheer quality and visual impact of this action RPG make it a no-brainer for
04:43the price.
04:44The challenge is the reward.
04:46The mastery is the value.
04:524.
04:53Lost Judgment
04:54Next up, a game that delivers an incredible double punch of epic crime narrative and massive
05:00open-world side content, Lost Judgment.
05:03This game is an absolute steal for the amount of playtime it offers.
05:08The value is in the sheer volume and quality.
05:11You're not just getting a spectacular, dark mystery crime thriller with Yakuza-level stakes.
05:16You're getting a complete life simulator in modern Japan.
05:20Playing as private detective Takayuki Yagami, the main story is gripping, dealing with bullying,
05:27law, and morality.
05:28The gameplay is ridiculously varied.
05:31One minute you're using Yagami's amazing kung fu fighting styles in a massive street
05:35brawl.
05:36The next you're investigating a case with stealth and drone surveillance.
05:40And the side content?
05:41You can spend 40 hours just teaching kids, dancing, boxing, or riding a motorcycle.
05:47It's unbelievable.
05:48The protagonist, Yagami, is fantastic, cool, resourceful, and morally gray.
05:55The game makes you feel like a genuine detective solving a complex puzzle.
06:00If I have one tiny critique, sometimes the sheer amount of dialogue can feel overwhelming,
06:06but it's all part of that deep cinematic experience.
06:08For a game that gives you a cinematic, must-play story, three different fighting styles, and
06:15enough unique side activities to fill three separate games, Lost Judgment offers insane
06:20value for its price tag.
06:21Number five, Hollow Knight Silksong.
06:29All right, let's talk about Hollow Knight Silksong.
06:31This game has been highly anticipated for years, and when you finally play it, you realize you
06:36are paying for literally hundreds of hours of perfectly crafted exploration.
06:41The value here is the density of content and world design.
06:46If the original Hollow Knight is anything to go by, Silksong is a massive, sprawling, hand-drawn
06:51Metroidvania masterpiece.
06:54Every single corner of the world is meticulously designed, hiding secrets, boss fights, and incredible
07:00lore.
07:00This isn't just a platformer, it's an entire universe you get lost in.
07:05You're playing as Hornet, and the gameplay is faster, more agile, and vertical than the
07:10original.
07:11That smooth, demanding platforming and the challenging, yet fair, combat are what make this series
07:16so addictive.
07:18That cycle of finally beating a difficult boss after dozens of tries is pure gaming adrenaline.
07:24The art style and music are worth the price of admission alone.
07:28It's a gorgeous, haunting, and beautiful world.
07:32My only concern, and it's a big one, is that it might be too big and too challenging
07:37for some casual players.
07:39But for those of us who love a deep, rewarding challenge, and want a game that respects both
07:44our time and our money by giving us endless content, Silksong is an instant classic that
07:50is worth every penny.
07:51Number 6, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
08:00Next up, a game that delivers unparalleled cinematic scope and emotional storytelling, Final Fantasy
08:07VII Rebirth.
08:09I mean, come on.
08:10This game is a massive achievement, and it absolutely delivers the value.
08:16What you're paying for is a massive JRPG experience.
08:19This isn't a small segment of the original, this is a huge, sprawling, open-world adventure
08:25packed with content.
08:27Exploring the vast Midgar Zolum swamp, riding the chocobos across the open fields, and discovering
08:33all the unique side quests, the scale is staggering.
08:38The combat system is phenomenal.
08:40It perfectly blends the real-time action of modern gaming with the tactical pause and strategy
08:46of classic Final Fantasy.
08:48Mastering the synergy abilities between Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa is so much fun and adds incredible
08:54strategic depth.
08:56The story is the heart of the value.
08:59Seeing these beloved characters, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, expanded and brought to life with this
09:05level of visual detail is breathtaking.
09:08That iconic narrative hits even harder in Rebirth.
09:12If I had one minor issue, sometimes the pacing felt a little slow during certain hub sections.
09:19But for delivering dozens of hours of gorgeous world exploration, deep combat customization,
09:25and one of the best narratives in the history of the genre, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is worth
09:30the full price and then some.
09:33It's a true masterpiece.
09:35I'm coming!
09:407. Forza Horizon 5
09:42Now, I know what you're thinking, but hear me out.
09:46Forza Horizon 5 is a prime example of pure, undisputed gaming value that transcends platform.
09:53This is the best open-world driving game ever made, period.
09:58The value is in the sheer fun and endless activities.
10:02The world of Mexico is a stunning, diverse sandbox, from dense jungles and snowy volcanoes
10:08to arid deserts and bustling cities.
10:11The gameplay is pure arcade joy.
10:14It's fast, forgiving, and endlessly satisfying.
10:18Every five minutes, the game throws a new challenge, a new race, or a new vehicle at you.
10:23This is the definition of a game that keeps giving.
10:26You pay for access to literally hundreds of cars and an incredible variety of competitive
10:32and casual activities.
10:34Cruising down the highway, then suddenly jumping into a massive showcase event against a train
10:39or a fleet of jets?
10:40That is the spectacle that justifies the price.
10:44The protagonist is you, the player, and the focus is on fun and freedom.
10:48The game constantly encourages you to explore and race, never taking itself too seriously.
10:53My only complaint is that the online voice chat can sometimes be annoying, but that's
10:59easily muted.
11:00For a game that is a non-stop dopamine rush, offering hundreds of hours of quality content,
11:05and arguably the most beautiful open-world driving experience available, Forza Horizon 5
11:11is an incredible bargain for anyone who loves racing.
11:218. Ghost of Yotei
11:24Let's talk about a game that sells itself on unparalleled atmosphere and cinematic quality.
11:30Ghost of Yotei.
11:31Sucker Punch created one of the most beautiful open worlds ever, and this game absolutely
11:37refined that experience.
11:39The value is in the immersive, authentic experience.
11:43This game transports you completely to the isolated, beautiful, and dangerous island of
11:48Hokkaido.
11:49The focus on the guiding wind and the minimalist HUD makes the exploration feel organic and
11:55completely cinematic.
11:56You are paying for a samurai movie you get to play.
11:59The combat is phenomenal and deeply satisfying.
12:03That perfect balance between the honorable samurai stances and the brutal stealth of the ghost
12:08is addictive.
12:09Mastering the standoffs where you can take down three enemies with a single, perfectly timed
12:14draw never gets old.
12:16The world is a visual masterpiece filled with hidden shrines, bamboo strikes, and hot springs
12:21that give you permanent upgrades.
12:23Every discovery feels meaningful.
12:25My only critique is that sometimes the open world travel felt a little slow compared to
12:30the intensity of the combat.
12:32But for a game that offers breathtaking beauty, incredible combat depth, and a story that truly
12:38makes you feel like a warrior in a changing world, Ghost of Yotei is a guaranteed full price
12:43purchase that delivers massive replay value.
12:46Let's dive back into the beautiful madness that is Death Stranding 2 on the beach.
12:59If you wanted a game that absolutely defines immersion and uniqueness, you found it, and
13:06it delivers immense value.
13:08The value here is in the atmospheric immersion and unparalleled storytelling.
13:13This is pure Hideo Kojima at his best, a visually stunning, emotionally complex, and philosophically
13:20deep narrative.
13:22Playing as Sam Porter Bridges, you're not just delivering packages.
13:26You're experiencing a vast, desolate, and beautiful post-apocalyptic world that feels
13:31completely unique.
13:33The gameplay loop, the Strand game, is incredibly addictive.
13:37The methodical traversal, the management of resources and cargo, and the challenge of building
13:42infrastructure across the world for yourself and other players, that sense of shared purpose
13:48is what hooks you.
13:49The new mechanics, like the customizable base, really expand on that satisfying loop.
13:54The visual fidelity and the narrative depth are what you're paying for.
13:58The cutscenes are cinematic masterpieces, and the cast delivers incredible performances that
14:04drive the often confusing, but always compelling story.
14:07My only piece of advice is that this game demands patience.
14:12The slow, deliberate pace isn't for everyone, but for those who embrace it, Death Stranding
14:162 offers an unforgettable, massive experience that easily justifies its price tag through
14:22its sheer creativity and quality.
14:24Next up, let's talk about the game that showed us the true power of the PS5 right at launch,
14:37Demon's Souls.
14:38This game is an absolute masterclass in atmosphere and challenge, and it's a necessary purchase.
14:44The value here is the next-gen visual fidelity and the perfect challenge.
14:49Bluepoint didn't just remaster this, they rebuilt it from the ground up.
14:53Bluetaria looks breathtakingly beautiful and horrifying on the PS5.
14:59That level of graphical polish on a classic design is huge value.
15:03The gameplay is brutally rewarding.
15:06As the progenitor of the Souls-like genre, it's fair but demanding.
15:11The sense of accomplishment you get after finally conquering a massive boss like the Tower Knight
15:15or the Penetrator after hours of struggle is unmatched.
15:19That challenge forces you to master the mechanics and respect the world.
15:23The atmosphere is thick with dread.
15:27The level design is intricate and unforgiving, pulling you deeper into its dark fantasy world.
15:32My one major complaint, which is common to the genre, is the sheer difficulty, which can be frustrating.
15:38But for a game that offers a pure, uncompromised and visually stunning gameplay experience
15:42that forces you to earn every victory, Demon's Souls is a landmark title that belongs in every PS5 owner's library.
15:5611. The Last of Us Part 2
15:58Now, let's discuss a game that delivers perhaps the most emotionally impactful and intense narrative available on the PS5,
16:07The Last of Us Part 2.
16:09This is a heavy game, but the value is immense.
16:13What you're paying for is a masterpiece of storytelling and character development.
16:17The narrative is relentless, dark, and challenging, forcing you to constantly question the protagonist's motivations.
16:24The journey of Ellie and the introduction of Abby give this story a depth and complexity that few games ever achieve.
16:33The gameplay is brutal, visceral survival horror.
16:37The combat feels heavy and desperate, whether you're fighting the infected or hostile human factions.
16:43The sheer tension of clearing a dark room full of clickers, or silently taking down a patrol using stealth, is palpable.
16:51The game makes you feel the violence.
16:54The visuals and sound design are world-class, pushing the PS5 to deliver an incredible sense of realism.
17:01The world is gorgeous and deeply unsettling.
17:04My only caution is that the themes are incredibly dark and divisive, and the violence is hard to stomach at times.
17:11But for delivering a mature, beautifully crafted, and unforgettable narrative experience that demands your attention and respects your intelligence,
17:21The Last of Us Part 2 is a phenomenal value that sets a benchmark for the industry.
17:26Got her pinned!
17:3112. Baldur's Gate 3.
17:33Finally, let's talk about the game that defines role-playing value on the PS5, Baldur's Gate 3.
17:40This game is an absolute time-sync and a masterpiece of player freedom.
17:45The value is the unmatched player choice and replayability.
17:48This is not a game you play once.
17:50This is a game you play for hundreds of hours across multiple characters.
17:54The sheer number of choices you make, the classes you can play, and the ways your decisions fundamentally alter the narrative are staggering.
18:02The gameplay is deep, turn-based D&D combat, and it is brilliant.
18:07Mastering the positioning, the spells, and the synergy between your party members is incredibly rewarding.
18:12Every encounter is a puzzle waiting to be solved creatively.
18:15The characters are phenomenal.
18:18Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale.
18:20Your companions are deeply written, complex, and full of surprising depth.
18:24Their personal quest lines are just as engaging as the main quest.
18:27My only issue is the sheer size and complexity can be intimidating for newcomers to the genre,
18:33and yes, sometimes the performance can hiccup in the massive third act.
18:37But for delivering an absolutely gargantuan, complex, and rewarding RPG experience
18:42that offers unparalleled freedom, Baldur's Gate 3 is easily the best value purchase you can make on the PS5.
18:5313. Dead Space
18:56Let's dive into pure terror and atmosphere with the Dead Space remake.
19:01When you buy this, you are buying one of the most expertly crafted survival horror experiences ever made,
19:08completely rebuilt for the PS5.
19:10The value here is a masterclass in tension and immersion.
19:15The USG Ishimira feels more claustrophobic, horrifying, and alive than ever before
19:20thanks to the PS5's incredible lighting and 3D audio.
19:24Playing as Isaac Clarke, the terror is palpable.
19:28Every shadow, every creak in the ship, and every hiss from a necromorph keeps you on the edge of your seat.
19:34The gameplay is unique because of the strategic dismemberment system.
19:38You're not aiming for the head, you're tactically slicing off limbs with the plasma cutter,
19:43forcing you to think under pressure.
19:45That heavy, deliberate combat loop is incredibly satisfying and adds so much depth.
19:51The story is a brilliant blend of sci-fi horror and psychological breakdown.
19:56Following Isaac's increasingly desperate journey to find his partner is compelling and dark.
20:02My only critique is that the sheer violence can be too much for some players.
20:06But for delivering a tense, visually stunning, and strategically deep survival horror experience
20:12that perfectly updates a classic,
20:14Dead Space is a non-negotiable purchase for quality and value.
20:18Fourteen, Alan Wake 2.
20:25Next up, a game that delivers huge value through its innovation and narrative depth.
20:31Alan Wake 2.
20:32Remedy created a mind-bending masterpiece that demands your attention.
20:37The uniqueness that justifies the price is the layered, meta-narrative structure.
20:41You're constantly switching between two deeply compelling protagonists,
20:46Saga Anderson in the terrifying, reality-bending forests of Bright Falls,
20:51and Alan Wake trapped in the surreal, shifting horror of the dark place.
20:55The contrast and way their stories influence each other is brilliant.
21:00The gameplay is tense, cerebral survival horror.
21:04For Saga, you're piecing together clues in the incredible mind place.
21:08And for Alan, you're literally rewriting the environment using the plot board.
21:12That player agency in the narrative is groundbreaking.
21:16Plus, the visual quality and the seamless integration of live-action video are top-tier.
21:22The story is a complex, cosmic horror thriller that uses a massive, interconnected universe.
21:28It requires multiple playthroughs just to catch all the details.
21:32My only issue is that the slow, deliberate pacing in the beginning might test some people's patience.
21:38But, for delivering one of the most innovative, visually ambitious,
21:43and narratively rewarding games on the console,
21:46Alan Wake 2 is a game that is absolutely worth every cent.
21:50Let's talk about a game that brings huge value through its unparalleled art style and deep strategic combat.
22:06Claire Obscure Expedition 33.
22:09This game is a visual feast and a complex RPG.
22:13The value here is the combination of artistry and depth.
22:17The game looks like a moving, 19th-century French painting,
22:22giving it a unique visual identity that immediately sets it apart.
22:27You're playing through a massive, emotionally charged quest to save humanity from a deadly curse.
22:34The gameplay is a brilliant hybrid, turn-based RPG.
22:38You're engaging in strategic battles,
22:41but you have to use real-time, timed inputs for parries and blocks.
22:46This keeps you constantly engaged and forces you to master the timing,
22:51adding a layer of intensity to every turn.
22:54The protagonists are a close-knit expedition team,
22:57and their emotional journey is the core of the value.
23:01You spend hours building their relationships,
23:04customizing their complex still trees,
23:06and preparing for the next massive encounter.
23:09My only reservation is that the complexity of the combat might have a steep learning curve.
23:15But for delivering an incredibly unique aesthetic,
23:19an emotionally resonant narrative,
23:21and a deep, demanding combat system,
23:25Claire Obscure is a massive RPG that offers incredible value for your money.
23:29Next up, a game that delivers pure charm,
23:40stunning visuals, and delightful platforming.
23:43Kina Bridge of Spirits.
23:45This one is often overlooked, but it is a massive quality purchase.
23:49The value is in the Pixar-level visual quality and polish.
23:53Kina's world is vibrant, colorful, and feels like an animated movie you get to explore.
23:59The Rots, those adorable little spirits, are fantastic companions,
24:04helping you solve environmental puzzles and boost your combat abilities.
24:08The gameplay is a perfect mix of tight platforming, puzzle solving, and engaging action combat.
24:14Kina's bow and the Rot abilities give the battles a great sense of fluidity and tactical variety.
24:19Mastering the enemy types and using your spirit companions effectively is incredibly satisfying.
24:25The story is emotional and heartwarming,
24:28focusing on themes of loss, grief, and moving on.
24:31It's a beautifully told narrative that sticks with you.
24:34My only minor critique is that the difficulty spikes on some of the later boss fights can be surprising.
24:40But for offering a polished, visually stunning, and emotionally resonant adventure that feels perfectly scaled,
24:47Kina, Bridge of Spirits, is an absolute gem that is easily worth its price tag.
24:55Number 17. Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
24:59Alright, let's talk about the game that delivers unmatched traversal and cinematic superhero action.
25:05Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
25:07This is pure, essential PS5 value.
25:10The value is the fluidity of traversal and dual protagonist action.
25:16Swinging through New York City is pure adrenaline,
25:19especially with the addition of the web wings, which elevate the sense of speed and freedom.
25:24The gameplay is fantastic because you're seamlessly swapping between the heavy, brutal symbiote powers of Peter
25:30and the electric finesse of Miles.
25:32The combat is the gold standard for superhero action.
25:37Fast, visually spectacular, and incredibly responsive.
25:41The boss battles, especially the encounters with villains like Kraven and Venom, are massive, cinematic events.
25:48The story is a thrilling and emotional rollercoaster, tackling complex themes within the superhero framework.
25:55It is expertly written and beautifully acted.
25:58My only wish is that the city felt a little less structured in terms of side activities sometimes.
26:04But for delivering a massive, polished, and unforgettable superhero experience that defines the PS5's capabilities,
26:12Spider-Man 2 is an absolute must-own that gives you huge entertainment value.
26:1718. Senua's Saga Hellblade 2
26:27Finally, let's end the list with a game that delivers unmatched artistic vision and immersion.
26:34Senua's Saga Hellblade 2.
26:37This is a shorter experience than some others, but the quality is immense.
26:42The value here is the uncompromising emotional and technical experience.
26:49This game is a masterclass in graphics, sound design, and performance capture.
26:55Playing as Senua, the unique experience of hearing her psychosis through the 3D audio
27:00is incredibly immersive and vital to the gameplay.
27:04The combat is heavy, cinematic, and visceral.
27:08Every fight feels like a desperate life-or-death duel.
27:12It's simple, but the weight and impact of every swing of the sword are profound.
27:18The story is a dark, mythical journey into Icelandic lore and Senua's internal battle against her own mind.
27:26It's a mature, unflinching, and deeply personal narrative that few games attempt.
27:31My only warning is that it is a linear and short experience,
27:36prioritizing narrative and atmosphere over gameplay length.
27:41But for delivering a profound, visually stunning, and technically unmatched artistic experience
27:47that fully utilizes the PS5's power,
27:51Senua's Saga Hellblade 2 is a unique, powerful purchase that is absolutely worth your money.
27:57And that wraps up the list, guys.
28:0118 phenomenal PS5 games that absolutely, without a doubt, respect your wallet and your time.
28:09If you were on the fence about dropping that $70 on any of these titles,
28:14I hope I helped you see the massive value, polish, and hours of quality content they deliver.
28:20So I want to hear from you.
