I have been gaming on my PS5 since release. I usually play AAA games and since a few months I stopped buying them. Nowadays they arrive with loads of problems and take forever to fix. Once they are fixed, DLC arrives and the games get big discounts. All publishers are guilty of this, even Sony games now suffer from problems. Considering 2024 looks like a bit weaker and I have a big Steam library full of titles I haven’t played in years I ordered myself a Steam Deck OLED. I want to avoid buying new AAA games that now cost €80 and aren’t even finished. My plan is to replay a lot of following games before I buy a new game:
-
Witcher 3
-
Cyberpunk 2077
-
Red Dead Redemption 2
-
Portal 1 + 2
-
Resident Evil 3 + Village
-
Mirror’s Edge
-
Max Payne 2 + 3 (1 has seemingly vanished from my Steam account?)
-
Mafia 1 + 2 Definitive Edition
-
Kingdom Come: Deliverance
-
GTA San Andreas + 4 Complete
-
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
-
Far Cry 2
-
Fallout: New Vegas
-
Doom + Eternal
-
Skyrim
-
Death Stranding
-
Dead Space 1 + 2
-
Dark Souls III
-
Crysis 1 + 2, Warhead
-
Control
-
CoD Black Ops
-
Bully Scholarship Edition
-
Borderlands GOTY Enhanced
-
Bioshock 1 + 2 Remastered
-
Arkham Trilogy
-
Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy
-
Alien Isolation
-
Alan Wake + American Nightmare
This also made my reconsider buying physical games on Playstation by the way. I usually sell my games after I beat them but because of that I also have a tiny Playstation library.
Looking at your list, the only one I’ve played on SD is Control and I’m actually playing through it for the first time right now. It’s really gripped me. It’s so… freaky and weird, I love it. Dropped the graphics setting down to low to get a solid 60fps, but it still looks fantastic. It’s been a while since I’ve played a Remedy game and really enjoying the storytelling style. Highly recommended.
