20. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes (PS5)

It feels like Supermassive Games has been trying to hit the heights of PS4 classic Until Dawn for years now, and never quite reaching it. However, the third entry in its Dark Pictures Anthology, titled House of Ashes, definitely comes closest. Much like previous efforts, you'll control a number of characters, dictating their actions and dialogue choices. This time around, there's a horde of ancient monsters buried underneath the sandy desert of Iraq. Get some friends over and you'll have a whale of a time.

19. Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5)

Ghostwire: Tokyo is more of a whimper than a bang. While its combat can be fun for a while and its use of the PS5 DualSense controller is truly special, the game is let down by virtually everything else. Fun for a time, but not a particularly memorable title. Some will take to its spooky, Japanese elements more than others, though, so maybe there's something here that'll have your heart racing.

18. The Quarry (PS5)

The Quarry plays just like Supermassive's other titles, with a focus on cinematics and keeping characters alive through important decisions and quick time events. It's an enjoyable enough adventure with a fun story that at least makes a change from the typical ghost stories. Get some friends over and the beers in and The Quarry can be a laugh.

17. Dead Island 2 (PS5)

It took nearly 10 years to materialise, but against all odds, Dead Island 2 is a great zombie-slaying adventure. Set in Los Angeles, you work your way through various open levels as you fend off the undead with a wide variety of weapons and abilities. The story isn't anything too special, but the game makes up for it with gloriously gory action and a rounded, well-realised setting. If you just want to smash open some zombie skulls, look no further.

16. Resident Evil 3 (PS5)

A PS5 upgrade was never going to restore all of that cut content, but Resident Evil 3 on Sony's latest system is at least the best way to experience it. With extremely fast load times and impressive ray tracing support, this more action-focused entry shines with solid combat and fun environments. It's still far too short, but Resident Evil 3 is worth a playthrough for survival horror fans.

15. Dredge (PS5)

The best thing about Dredge is its ingenious core concept. Playing as a hard-working fisherman, it's your job to go out into the open waters, catch fish, then sell them to fishmongers for a tidy sum. Using the money you earn and the resources you find, you'll slowly upgrade your trawler to become a more capable vessel. This would be enough on its own to provide a good time, but the spooky twist means there's a near-constant sense of, well, dread. As you progress, more and more eldritch horrors will present themselves, challenging your impulse to fish into the night by creeping you out with weird visions and inexplicable dangers. An eerie game that reels you in with its moreish gameplay loop.

14. Chernobylite (PS5)

Chernobylite is an altogether quite different FPS that throws in elements of survival. Set within the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the game is an atmospheric, eerie adventure that has you hunting for resources and managing your team of allies as much as shooting enemies. Full of creative ideas, not everything sticks the landing, but it's an ambitious title unlike anything else.

13. Silent Hill F (PS5)

Silent Hill F takes the survival horror series in a new direction, which pays off for the most part. It’s quite different, and hardcore fans will have to accept that. Combat is a heavy focus, and the move to Japan means there’s a different kind of tone and atmosphere in the air. Technical problems aside, it marks a bold new chapter in the Silent Hill saga. Accept it for what it is, and you’ll find one of PS5’s most intense experiences.

12. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance (PS5)

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is the ultimate version of this beloved rogue-like shooter. With creepy overtones and a cartoonish aesthetic, it's not to everyone's tastes, but the addictive gameplay and sheer variety of potential builds you can create make it an incredibly moreish prospect. There's a ridiculous amount of stuff to see and discover here, and you can enjoy it in local co-op with three buddies, too.

11. The Last of Us Part II Remastered (PS5)

Arguably the greatest PS4 game, upgraded and repacked for PS5, with cut content and an all-new roguelike inspired mode, which takes full advantage of Naughty Dog’s underappreciated third-person shooter gameplay. The Last of Us Part II Remastered will hold few surprises for those who’ve already played the original, groundbreaking outing – but that doesn’t make it any less essential.
