2024 has been remarkable for PlayStation 5, with not only an incredible lineup of games but also very thrilling adventures, breathtaking visuals, and unforgettable gameplay. It’s got something for everyone – from gripping action, emotional stories, or mind-bending survival mechanics. Among them stands out for innovation, quality, and sending players into rich, imaginative worlds. Here are the top 10 PS5 games of 2024.

10. The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Naughty Dog brought one of its most iconic games back in 2024 with The Last of Us Part II Remastered. Chronicling the devastating cycle of revenge, the game is a must-play for those who missed it the first time or for fans wanting to revisit Ellie and Joel’s harrowing journey.

The remastered version enhances the experience with improved visuals and DualSense controller integration, making every moment feel more intense. It also includes extra story content through the “Lost Levels” and a new survival mode, “No Return,” which tests players against waves of relentless enemies. While it’s a remaster of a PS4 classic, it remains one of the best ways to experience this emotionally charged masterpiece.

9. Rise of the Ronin

Set in the tumultuous end of Japan’s Edo period, the historical action game from Team Ninja, Rise of the Ronin, takes a unique take on samurai culture. Players can experience key roles in the shaping of the fall of the Shogunate and the dawn of a new era.

What does, however, put the game over the top is its lightning-quick combat and lovable characters. The swordplay itself is simple to get a handle on but difficult to master-a wealth of depth for those willing to delve into its mechanics. The game’s open-world design, while decent on its own, falls behind others in the PS5 exclusives. For fans of samurai games, however, this is an experience worth having.

8. Pacific Drive

Pacific Drive is a survival game like no other, offering that great chills atmosphere in the mysterious Pacific Northwest as players navigate this strange anomaly-ridden world, their only safe haven being their station wagon.

Combining resource management and exploration with an interesting storyline, slowly divulging the mysteries of its eerie setting, the game offers yet another fun element in customization of your vehicle. Keeping alive against increasing danger keeps the tension peaking and is an experience worth being on the edge for players who appreciate survival mechanics should not miss out on this underrated treasure.

7. Granblue Fantasy: Relink

From its conceptual beginnings as a television series, Granblue Fantasy arrived in a really big splash on console with Relink in 2024. An anime-style action RPG, high-energy combat and engaging stories made this perfect for fans.

Although newcomers may have difficulties following the story unless they play previous titles, the game still provides a worthy reason to do so due to lovable characters, speedy action, and suspenseful fights. Every fight is rewarded, and the fantastic world makes exploring a pleasure. Fans of anime-themed games will definitely love playing Granblue Fantasy: Relink .

6. Stellar Blade

Stellar Blade is a stylish combat game with a gripping narrative about reclaiming Earth from monstrous invaders. Although the game received some initial controversy regarding its character design, it quickly gained praise for addictive gameplay and a great story.

The combat is the real star of the show, delivering a satisfying blend of accuracy and savagery. Every encounter feels meaningful, as the PS5’s DualSense controller elevates the experience through its haptic feedback. Although it may bring to mind games such as Nier: Automata, Stellar Blade carves out its own place in the history books and provides unadulterated action fun.

5. Helldivers 2

For fans of multiplayer chaos, Helldivers 2 is a fantastic choice. This satirical co-op shooter pits players against waves of alien bugs and ruthless robots as they fight to “defend democracy” across the galaxy.

Gameplay is fun and built with comedic value, and missions always urge coordination and strategy; the real-time progression system allows for shaping by the community of players within the in-game world, a layer of immersion. Over the fact that Sony requires a PlayStation Network account for PC players, Helldivers 2 remains one of the greatest multiplayer games of the year.

4. Black Myth: Wukong

Combining elements from Chinese mythology, Black Myth: Wukong is an impressive action/storyteller. The player controls the monkey warrior whose fate it is to free Sun Wukong, the Monkey King according to legend.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, this game is a technical marvel with mind-blowing visuals and wonderful environments. The combat is adequately challenging and satisfying at the same time, blending God of War ingredients with Souls-like essentials. The Chinese folklore featured as the core basis gives this actioner a uniqueness that places it among the highlight titles of 2024.

3. Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2 made a triumphant return in 2024, with developer Bloober Team breathing new life into this horror classic. The game follows James Sunderland as he ventures into the haunted town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his deceased wife.

The remake captures the unsettling atmosphere of the original but breathes modern life into gameplay with its over-the-shoulder camera and superior visuals. Every creature and environment is more terrifying than ever, making this a must-play for horror fans. It doesn’t matter what Konami has been up to lately; this remake pays respect to one of the greatest horror games of all time.

2. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth

It takes everything that made its predecessor great and does it even better. The second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, Rebirth continues the journey of Cloud and his companions as they continue their fight against the corrupt Shinra corporation in an beautifully crafted open world.

The combat is more refined, exploration is deeper, and the characters find new ways to win players’ hearts. Vibrant environments and exciting battles make each moment unforgettable. Being a long-time fan or new to the series, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is a game PS5 owners cannot afford to miss.

1. Astro Bot

Right at the top is Astro Bot, an absolutely delightful platformer that epitomizes fun-gaming. Playing through the adventures of rescuing his robot buddies by way of the titular Astro, it’s a colorful and creative journey across several galaxies.

Every level is a love letter to 3D platformers, full of creative mechanics and exciting challenges. Meanwhile, it enjoys an immense use of dynamic vibrations as well as sound, that makes even the smallest actions feel tactile. Astro Bot also celebrates PlayStation’s history in themed levels and characters, adding an extra layer of nostalgia.

Pure fun from start to finish, Astro Bot is truly a shining example of what makes gaming on the PS5 special.
