    Arkane did deathloop better with Prey Moonbase dlc. How they downgraded I don’t know.



  2. Deedric Kee on June 19, 2022 at 9:41 pm

    Returnal " Kena and "Ratchet&Clank was clearly the best games to come out this year. The fact neither got the "G.O.T.Y. is horseshit.

    I’m not a fanboy (of any platform), but two of the games listed aren’t even Playstation exclusives: Kena, and Deathloop, are also on PC. I’m not trying to be pedantic and snippy, but if the video is about Playstation exclusives, then they should be exclusive to the console and not available anywhere else e.g. Ghost of Tsushima, etc.



  4. McEnroe on June 19, 2022 at 9:42 pm

    I probably wouldn’t consider deathloop a playstation exclusive.



  5. Asian Import on June 19, 2022 at 9:44 pm

    So you just listed every exclusive. There were literally only 5 πŸ˜‚



  6. David T Reviews on June 19, 2022 at 9:44 pm

    The best reviewed exclusives this year were on Xbox.



  7. Archivist42 on June 19, 2022 at 9:44 pm

    Kena really was an excellent game, and I think of all the titles listed it’s the easiest to overlook. Frankly I thought it was way better than Deathloop, but maybe lacked the overall polish of R&C



  8. Meruoane Belacel on June 19, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Deathloop is not 10/10 stop lying we know why you gave it 10



  9. OLOS GAMING on June 19, 2022 at 9:49 pm

    why isn’t godfall on here it was a great game



  10. Surcador del Cosmos on June 19, 2022 at 9:51 pm

    Both Kena and Deathloop are not PS5 exclusive. Do not spread false information, please.



  11. Vic T on June 19, 2022 at 9:52 pm

    Is the new Rachet and Clank any good? I have it for PS5 and not sure if I want to play it.



  12. BigBoss on June 19, 2022 at 9:54 pm

    Deathloop was awful! The worst Arkane game i ever played.

    Played most of these and I gotta say, Deathloop was forgettable and overrated. Not terrible, just not as great as I’d thought it’d be. 7/10. Dishonored and Prey are both better games



  14. B Dre on June 19, 2022 at 9:54 pm

    these five games alone PS5 won 2021. All the exclusive PS5 games released since launch, combined with the PS4 enhanced PS5 games, is proof enough on why PS5 will win this console generation.



  15. alek javier on June 19, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    the only looping part in deathloop is the 50% off every sale



  16. Kynam Van on June 19, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    Only if we can all get a PS5



  17. roh_gamu on June 19, 2022 at 9:57 pm

    Kena nor Deathloop is a ps5 exclusive, wth…



  18. Michael on June 19, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart > psychonauts 2



  19. Iron Maiden on June 19, 2022 at 9:59 pm

    Gawd, is this an advertisement for the game or the console.. ? Most of these games can be played on the PS4 and PS4 Pro and with an SSD drive they load just as quickly. I’ve had an SSD in my Pro for 3 years now.



  20. Michael on June 19, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    As expected the comment section is full of salty xbox fanboys πŸ˜‚



  21. Cristian Guerrero on June 19, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    IT’S A JOKE? 🀣🀣🀣🀣



  22. Merky Beam on June 19, 2022 at 10:03 pm

    And yet media moan about xbox exclusives not being on PS5. Double standards as usual.



  23. Digital Devil7 on June 19, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    Listen, we don’t give out a lot of ten out of ten review scores here at gamespot, but when we do we make sure it’s for all the wrong reasons.

    Arkane is great but Deathloop is not a pinnacle of the genre and it’s not a 10/10.



  24. Pinikas3D on June 19, 2022 at 10:06 pm

    Kena and deathloop exclusives…., Esxclusives is gost of tushima and demons souls. This gen xbox >ps5



  25. Mr. Creasy on June 19, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    Aren’t half of these games on PC?



  26. Deedric Kee on June 19, 2022 at 10:10 pm

    Oh yeah sorry,good video πŸ‘πŸΌ



  27. ENS Ninjaaa on June 19, 2022 at 10:11 pm

    She failed too mention that Deathloop is a timed console exclusive for the PlayStation 5 just saying πŸ˜‰



  28. WatchTiger99 on June 19, 2022 at 10:12 pm

    It does not have halo and forza though



  29. Gerardo Nieves on June 19, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    My backlog is getting out of hand, Returnal, Halo, Forza Horizon, Rachet, FC6, Desthloop and Metroid Dread. I own them all but my left arm is still recovering from surgery. One of these days one of these days.



  30. Livium on June 19, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    Kena is a wonderful game, but man, as someone expecting a good short single player experience, I didn’t expect how difficult the game was going to be.

    So many great games, R&C was really good, returnal was good but too hard



  32. Mektek19 on June 19, 2022 at 10:20 pm

    Uuuuummmm no Demon’s Soul?



  33. OLOS GAMING on June 19, 2022 at 10:20 pm

    chicory isn’t a exclusive is it?



  34. VIOSLAVIA KLEIN on June 19, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    "only"



  35. Michael on June 19, 2022 at 10:21 pm

    PS5 > Failbox Series X



  36. Mohd iman Saifullizan on June 19, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    I love game Marvel & Dc



  37. Gerald Ocon on June 19, 2022 at 10:24 pm

    Kena is not an exclusive it’s also on PC.

  39. Red Pill Clips on June 19, 2022 at 10:26 pm

    It seems that Deathloop is going to be another high scored game that will fall into oblivion since I don’t see anyone talking about it anymore. Actually, even before its release the hype wasn’t that high. My perception, though.



  40. #DaysGone2 on June 19, 2022 at 10:28 pm

    Astrobot is my fave ps5 game I want a full size open world experience



  41. N Thomas on June 19, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    Returnal is the most difficult game I ever played but its so addicting and fun



  42. Neo Moon Sevin on June 19, 2022 at 10:30 pm

    Ratshert and blank is shert if this was on Xbox it would have features that look way better than PS4 or 5

    Kena is my personal favorite this year 😊✌🏼



  46. Rick Sanchez on June 19, 2022 at 10:31 pm

    Demon’s souls?!



  47. AssasinFX on June 19, 2022 at 10:36 pm

    Deathloop has to be one of the most undeserving 10s of all time



  48. Doom Slayer on June 19, 2022 at 10:36 pm

    Only real exclusives were returnal and rift apart, all others are on pc and/or will be on xbox



  49. Nazerth on June 19, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    Ghost of Tsushima



  50. huhhuhhuh on June 19, 2022 at 10:38 pm

    The second half of Deathloop was absolute chore to play. The novelty wears off, it gets EXTREMELY repetitive, you get overpowered too fast, and the ending was very bland. Not sure how it got a 10/10. I only finished it because I paid for it.
