10 Best PS5 Games You're Not Playing

8. Nobody Wants To Die

The marketing behind Nobody Wants To Die was practically non-existent, almost like Critical Hit Games were distancing themselves from a guaranteed bomb. Despite the minimal buzz, the cyberpunk noir title received favourable reviews across the board. And yet, Nobody Wants To Die still remains mostly unknown. At this moment, it still doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

Even though walking simulators aren't for everybody, this title should win over the biggest sceptics. The characterisation, the actors' chemistry, and the sharp writing make every interaction utterly riveting.  Although the purpose of the time manipulation mechanic is to work out the chronology of crimes, players will want to mess around with it just to admire the timey-wimey effects. 

The lingering mystery is deeply intriguing, to the point where it's tempting to play through the whole thing in one sitting. 

The aesthetic, which amalgamates elements from BioShock and Blade Runner, is so gorgeous, players will want to wander around to bask in its beauty. Good thing the detective cases don't have time limits!

The main campaign may be brief, since it's over and done with in 5-6 hours. However, there's a push to play Nobody Wants to Die a few times, not just to unlock various endings, but to explore everything this beautiful world has to offer.
