15 MOST ADDICTIVE PS5 Games You Need To Play

The PS5 has no shortage of games that have impressed gamers with their level of quality, but only few games are able to take those feelings and sustain them over a long period of time.
These games can be really addictive in nature, and that addiction can stem from a wide variety of reasons including but not limited to a sense of progression or just the element of fun within the mechanics themselves. With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the most addictive games that you can enjoy on the PS5.

[@lemming9984]

Resogun. I had it on my PS3, still have it on PS4, PS5 and three of my Vitas. One of the most addictive games ever.

[@emanueletintori1229]

Is it a third person shooter by any chance?🤔

[@SoliiD]

Is it a sort of dungeons and dragons ?

[@theNoxie]

How are you in your 1st playthrough at 360 hours? I really dont get it haha. Awesome that you enjoy it! I liked teh game overall, spent about 100h on my first playthrough

[@rundown132]

@@theNoxie was gonna say, an average full 100% playthrough is 140H, idk what blud is doing

[@TwinFather0420]

@@theNoxieprobably spends lots of time Away from the game while it is still on. And the game registers that as active play time.

[@theNoxie]

@@TwinFather0420 That is the only thing that makes sense haha

[@FranzBazar]

Great choices. I really wish there would be a Wild Hearts 2, that game was SO Addictive, an absolute blast to play. I rarely finish games all the way through but that one I did!

[@mathewhosier9739]

Remnant 2, monster hunter rise and ff7 rebirth are all amazing games, definitely my favorite generation since the ps2, its been great for RPGs especially

[@crunchie2475]

ghost of tsushima combat is addicting too

[@emanueletintori1229]

If you liked Ghost of Tsushima, I seriously recommend Rise of the Ronin as well.

[@mohammadfarhad5488]

Gets very repetetive

[@mathewhosier9739]

Meh, I didn't care for it, rise of the ronin is much better imo

[@LucieOne]

Definitely Sifu. You just keep thinking you can get through that level a year younger and younger and younger.

[@emanueletintori1229]

Lovely kung fu game with a very technical and articulated fighting system! But, rather too shorts and with the impossibility to play as Yang or go deeper into the lore with a potential story dlc...

[@GoodGuyVoodoo]

Currently, for me, it's Cyberpunk 2077. I'm currently playing the Phantom Liberty DLC, and I'm already thinking about my next playthrough. I should be playing the other games I have, but Cyberpunk keeps pulling me back in.

[@mathewhosier9739]

Unfortunately cd project red ruined cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update, it used to be a good game though

[@marcocerioli9236]

Soulslike games are (most of them) very addictive, no need to be mentioned. Not totally agree with Returnal: is very tough, the mechanic of the loop look strange at the start, cool In the early game but at the end become boring and frustrating. Destiny 2 is just the most underrated videogame ever.

[@kirechix]

Rise of the Ronin is straight up laced with coke.

This is how I can tell that these game creators are laid off. You may as well call this list "the reasons to get a ps4." How can you enjoy a system that have games from a previous system but a few games.

[@FranzBazar]

Yeesh, sad

[@mathewhosier9739]

Except none of them run at 60fps on ps4, none of these can be enjoyed on ps4 due to the piss poor performance on that console
