10 Most Value For Money PS5 Games

9. Horizon Forbidden West

It's a pity Horizon Zero Dawn's sequel was sidelined by Elden Ring, since it surpasses the original in every Way. Not only is the land-map larger, Aloy can now swim, freeform climb, and paraglide, giving the player a more diverse means to explore this beautiful open world. Rather than carrying over the same gameplay of its predecessor, the combat mechanics have been modified to perfection, allowing for more engrossing battles with your cybernetic foes.

If you were deterred by the price-tag, rest assured Horizon Forbidden West is worth every penny. The main campaign can be over and done with in 30 hours, but the sidequests, loot, and unlocklable skills will keep you occupied for far longer, (and that's not including the Burning Shores expansion, which is fittingly on the horizon).

Although Guerrilla Game's hottest IP is available on the PS4, the PS5 version elevates everything to the point where it feels like a different game. The console's increased processing power allows for seamless water rendering, improved lighting, sharper audio, and a buttery-smooth frame-rate.

If you're looking for a game, not just to play, but to lose yourself in, Horizon Forbidden West is the one for you.
