It peppered the Top 10 lists of the best games of all-time and introduced the long-running Japanese RPG series to polygons, 3D maps, and countless other innovations of 32-bit consoles. Final Fantasy VII was an iconic JRPG that’s credited with opening up the genre to the west. (Although, eight years on, I’m still not convinced anyone has found a compelling reason for that touch pad.) It’s a game that even completionists can finish within six hours or so, but those six hours were among the most fun I’ve had with the PS5 so far. It’s also, to date, the title that makes the best use of Sony’s DualSense controller, with incredible haptic feedback and clever usage of the pad’s adaptive triggers.

Astro’s Playroom is a love letter to both 3D platformers and the PlayStation itself.

It’s odd to start a best games list with a title that comes free with the console, but if you’re anything like my son, who swiftly deleted Astro’s Playroom to make space for various Call of Duty titles, I’m here to tell you to give the pack-in title another shot. We’ll be updating this periodically, so, if a game’s just been released and you don’t see it, chances are that the reason for its absence is that we haven’t played through it yet.

Welcome to our first update to WM Leader’s best games list for PlayStation 5.
