PS5: 10 Games That Show What It Can Do
3. Astro’s Playroom
Much like Wii sports for the Nintendo Wii, Astro’s Playroom comes with every PS5 and acts as a tech demo for the new console. Stunning 4K graphics and 3D audio are on full display throughout the game, but what will blow you away is how Astro’s Playroom shows off the capabilities of the new DualSense controller.
The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in particular are what make this controller so revolutionary. The subtle ways the vibrations change whenever you walk on a new surface, drive a vehicle or fire a weapon are simply remarkable and Astro’s Playroom makes use of all these features while also being a really fun game that pays tribute to the previous PlayStation consoles and their most iconic games.
Astro’s Playroom is a delightful little platformer that acts as a wonderful little trip through the history of Playstation while also highlighting all the advancements in the technology of the PS5. It is also proof that even though two next generation consoles launched last year, only one of them has a next generation controller. Time will tell how impactful the DualSense will be on our enjoyment of games in the future.
