In our PS5 review, we wrote that once you start playing with this thing, you’ll understand why PlayStation went with a take-me-to-your-leader aesthetic. When it comes to hardware innovation, the PS5 is setting the bar awfully high. The DualSense controller is the haptic accessory I’ve been waiting for. The spatial audio lives up to the hype. In our Horizon Forbidden West review, we wrote that the world continues to be a visual cornucopia, while the gameplay is fast and furious but can be tailored to your style of play. Can the skill trees, weapons and abilities get a bit overwhelming? Sure. But as you get the hang of the game, you’ll learn to really edit your inventory and skills to make things more manageable. The open world has plenty to explore without incurring bloat fatigue. Overall, we enjoyed my return to this world and highly recommend it to PlayStation 5 owners looking to get a taste of what the future of the console holds.
