1. Minecraft
Minecraft is an open-world creativity game where you are the king of your world. You can do anything you like from cutting trees to making a roller-coaster ride.
The main motto of this game is to collect items from the Minecraft world to crafting something new. Although no information will be given on how to craft the items, thanks to several wiki pages and communities, you will be able to craft things on your own.
To make things interesting, Minecraft added animals and zombies along with villagers, traders, fishermen, and more unknown discovery.
There are several modes you can play in Minecraft, like the survival mode, adventure mode, and even multiplayer mode. In survival mode, you will be spawned to a computerized generated world where you will have no resources on your name. You have to gather items, create your shelter, and eat foods from time to time to survive. Not but the least, there will be spiders, zombies, witches, etc. trying to kill you.
You can build your world and show your creativity. You can either live like a caveman or you can build your projects and live in the 21st century.
Playing Minecraft with Friends is also one of the major features of why children and even elderly people play Minecraft. Crafting and hunting is a lot more fun with friends. Besides, you can build monuments and a whole new decorative world and show it to your friends using the online multiplayer mode,

As you will be the newest visitor on this island, your main task will be helping the residents out. You will be equipped with artificial modern technologies and will be capturing the small critters with traps. After that, you have to record these quests in a handy guide.
Snaktooth Island is full of laughter and cuteness within the world of Bugsnax.
Well, it would have been less fun when your only mission is to catch bugs. There will be a plot twist at the end of the game. It is assumed that the game will be darker at some times. As you are playing as an investigative journalist, you have a mission to accomplish.
There are more mysteries in Snaktooth Island than it seems. Your job is to unveil the mystery and progress further.
The graphics of the game is spectacular comparing to other child games. The music is entertaining and also enjoyable. The ways you have to hunt down animals is a far more unique idea in this generation.

3. ASTRO’S PLAYROOM
Astro’s playroom is a new PS5 exclusive adventure game where you can feel the world. This game works best with PSVR and it’s highly worth playing.
The trailer shows that Astro is hopping around leaves and beaches enjoying his life, which will give you a unique sensation of tension because the spring with which Astro is hopping compresses down.
Astro is seen struggling through sand and killing evil robots in a funny way. He also meets his friends during winter and the adventure still continues.
You have to run, or bounce over blocks of ice, risk your life and kill bees in this game.
It is like enjoying your own playroom with lots of adventures and cute characters. The audio is also enhanced in this game. You can easily hear Astro jumping and walking around the sands.
One thing I like about this game is the cute songs playing throughout the game. The adventure won’t be easy for Astro as there are several obstacles to overcome including gusty winds and evil bots.

The game results in challenging gameplay. You need to spend and also will get rewarded too.
Progressively, you will obtain the ability to control the wind and the light. These abilities will allow you to break down tough barriers and obstacles.

Thanks to Sumo Digital. They did a fantastic job of continuing the story and adding new creative mechanics and 3 new awesome play styles like Toggle, Swoop, Oddsock.
If you are using Toggle mode then you can grow big and small. If you are using Swoop mode, you can fly, and eventually, if you use Oddsock mode you can run fast and jump off walls.

8. Gang Beasts
Gang Beasts is a multiplayer brawling game. The game is even more fun when played with friends.
The characters are wobbly and the arenas are more challenging than the opponents sometimes. For example, the location might be above a ferry wheel or may b above a running train. So, you have to throw your opponent from the ring and claim your prize. It’s funnier to see players wiggle and attack.
The game has zero violence. The attacks are non-violating and easy to control. There aren’t any modern fighting mechanics. You just have to punch or grab or throw your opponent from the ring.
Although it is quite boring to play alone, you can invite ¾ of your friends to add juice to the party.
This game is typically an example of a good game with low graphics. That said, you can also have fun playing a low graphics game and have fun together.

9. Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet and Clank is back again with its amazing story, upgraded graphics, characters, and more exclusively on PS5.
This game is just as similar to a Pixar movie and each new character comes fulfilling this promise.
You don’t need any screenshots of this game to inform how beautiful the sport is, just go along and play the game.
Every extent of detail within the environments is so satisfying that you will be able to read signs and billboards for tiny jokes, rise up near buildings to catch hidden Easter eggs, and more.
In fact, there is plenty of mystery to be discovered here, If you compare the new remake with 2002 one, you will see astonishing changes as the game developed so much that I couldn’t even stop putting my controller down.
However, the cutscenes are the major storyline of the game which is drawn directly from the movie.
Ratchet & Clank is such a game that pays close attention to every single detail including s beautiful animation while in motion, I would recommend playing this PS5 game no matter what.

Seriously it has some amazing adventure racing circuits with a thrilling ride just to keep the original story intact. The game added new welcome quality life upgrades. This game looks extra stunning when played for the first time. Adding extra vivid details makes the game even more interesting. Of course, there will be no adventure without our cartoonishly bright characters.

Also, the game contains online multiplayer feature that will enable you to play with others instead of computerized generated characters. The game will be bad for you if you can’t handle the attacks. But it will become more of satisfaction once you get the hang of sliding and attacking.
