15 Best PS5 Games of 2021

Compared to the banger year that was 2020, 2021 was a relatively quiet one for PlayStation- but we’re at a point where even relatively quiet years are brimming with excellent games to play across a variety of different genres.

PS5 and PS4 players had no shortage of excellent games to choose from over the last 12 months, and here, we’re going to highlight a handful of those as the ones that we enjoyed the most- before picking one of them as the ultimate winner for the year.

    What is the thumbnail game called I remember it but I forget the name

    I didn’t know PS5 has 15 games exclusive yet none of the games that were for PS5 we’re running with unreal engine 5 which explains to why you can’t really tell the difference from PS4 or a PS5 game I’ve played on both versions for the extra trophies on Spider-Man miles I didn’t see a huge difference maybe starting in 2022 the real PS5 games will be here finally I can’t wait for Starfield on Xbox series x and the Matrix to release maybe when the amazing Spider-Man 2 releases it will be using unreal engine 5 instead

    Lost judgment 🐉



  5. Failing at Pessimism on January 3, 2022 at 2:59 pm

    All games look a bit sh1t. Don’t think PS5 is worth buying.



  6. Harshit Rakhiani on January 3, 2022 at 3:00 pm

  11. Spearmint 116 on January 3, 2022 at 3:05 pm

    Where was Hitman 3 on this list? It was easily my favorite release this year.



  12. mdweetje on January 3, 2022 at 3:06 pm

    Ghost of tsushima???



  13. Denni George on January 3, 2022 at 3:10 pm

    Re8 is not a ‘ps5’ game



  14. ElGatoSamurai on January 3, 2022 at 3:10 pm

    Returnal reminds me of Contra 🤔



  15. Jake Ho on January 3, 2022 at 3:11 pm

    GamingBolt has taste



  16. Samuel Astrom on January 3, 2022 at 3:12 pm

    Kind of a shit list. Aside from resident evil village



  17. Baek DooSan on January 3, 2022 at 3:12 pm

    I’m surprised nobody listed the games in the comments section. Don’t wanna watch the whole video… 😂



  18. M. AFCA on January 3, 2022 at 3:12 pm

    BRO, I dont like any of these new games man.

    I need open world games like GTA. Why isnt there any gaming developing company who is like “okay GTA is a bestseller, lets make something like GTA” but no. Never.

    Its always a main charactar with a mohawk and a big sword or axe on his back who has a hipster rebel squad and the world they are in is futuristic apocalypse world with weird creatures or robots. “Lets hack everything and cruise around in weird cars with a boombox radio and coloured haircuts.” NO MAN! I want an open world game in this time! A realistic one! Come one man. A game like GTA, Max Payne 3 or Read Dead Redemption 2.

    Since it will take probably 100 years before GTA 6 will come i dont understand how not one company saw it as an opportunity to compete with Rockstar.



  19. Common Cents on January 3, 2022 at 3:13 pm

    Depressing….



  20. Teknomans on January 3, 2022 at 3:17 pm

    Can’t wait to have no money to buy any of these games



  21. Diyan Denchev on January 3, 2022 at 3:18 pm

    Watched 1/3 of the video and stopped.. Your pick of games are too childish for my taste! Thanks for the effort but dislike from me!



  22. 54 OPB on January 3, 2022 at 3:21 pm

    Took a chance…. Walked through the hood to a GameStop that’s always has security guards etc. and managed to obtain a ps5 and make it home. Mission accomplished thinking bout trying resident evil village 🤔



  23. Eljus Ticiero on January 3, 2022 at 3:25 pm

    Did not have 15



  24. Kim Dressler on January 3, 2022 at 3:27 pm

    Whats with all the cheap games



  25. Norwing Martinez on January 3, 2022 at 3:28 pm

    Great job 👍



  26. lobster7799 on January 3, 2022 at 3:29 pm

    Returnal made me believe in gaming once again!!! The high stakes combat sending the player all the way back to the beginning gave me one Hell of ride. This game had me only he edge of my seat from start to finish. Once I for past the 2nd boss and 3rd biome it was clear sailing from there



  27. Hazard2005 on January 3, 2022 at 3:31 pm

    2021 sucked…



  28. JareDevilDog on January 3, 2022 at 3:33 pm

    Yep GamingBolt …. same games , over and over lately . What’s next ? Fun games of 2021…. same list. Favorite games of 2021….. same list. Enthralling games of 2021….. same list.



  29. Mr. Sasshole on January 3, 2022 at 3:33 pm

    Props for putting Kena and Guardians on this list. Both were wonderful surprises this year and IMHO, must purchase games for PS5 owners.



  30. Donnell Kane on January 3, 2022 at 3:35 pm

    I have to unsubscribe they keep makin bogus list with the same garbage games that they probably didn’t play



  31. rahorin on January 3, 2022 at 3:36 pm

    Wow is that it? I feel better waiting to get a PS5 when I can for retail price instead of paying over $1,000 for the ones listed online.



  32. kill-A-gram on January 3, 2022 at 3:37 pm

    hitman 3?!



  33. Nick Lindsay on January 3, 2022 at 3:38 pm

    returnal is for sure my goty as well 🙂



  34. ARCH HERO Bain on January 3, 2022 at 3:40 pm

    Most of this list is PS4 not PS5 🧐



  35. Jeffery Sousa on January 3, 2022 at 3:41 pm

    GoW Ragnarok, Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Gran Tourismo 7 will be reason enough to get a PS5. Most games out atm do not impress me. Let’s hope we get some GTA 6 action soon.



  36. King ForADay on January 3, 2022 at 3:42 pm

    Although these are amazing games none of them would inspire me to buy a PS5 just to play them.



  37. custom cornpop on January 3, 2022 at 3:43 pm

    I was NOT expecting Returnal to come out on top! Great choice!



  38. cl4 on January 3, 2022 at 3:44 pm

    thanks! curently i got miles morales, ds;hc, rnc, assassins creed valhalla and ghost of tsushima



  39. JackGeezy on January 3, 2022 at 3:46 pm

    So what game should I buy right now?



  40. thevideogamebithilarious on January 3, 2022 at 3:46 pm

    Cubert On Gameboy Color is wayyy better than all of PS5!!!



  41. Joel Lee on January 3, 2022 at 3:47 pm

    GG!



  42. Aran Erem on January 3, 2022 at 3:48 pm

    Resident Evil Village is awesome



  43. Brigid Stokes on January 3, 2022 at 3:48 pm

  48. King David on January 3, 2022 at 3:52 pm

  49. Paul W. on January 3, 2022 at 3:52 pm
