Returnal

Isolated and alone, she finds herself fighting tooth and nail for survival. Again and again, she’s defeated – forced to restart her journey every time she dies.
Our review
This game is easily @MagGamerINC Game of the Year, Beyond how good graphics look on the PS5, or how the game utilizes dual sense controllers to perfection for Next gen experience. The story and gameplay do something no other game has done and we love to be thrilled and excited by innovation.
Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart
Description
Go dimension-hopping with Ratchet and Clank as they take on an evil emperor from another reality. Jump between action-packed worlds, and beyond at mind-blowing speeds – complete with dazzling visuals and an insane arsenal – as the intergalactic adventurers blast onto the PS5™ console.
Our review
While the world all might have played ratchet games before this was @MagGamerInc first and he picked a great time playing masterpiece. There was ton of lore and nostalgia i am sure long time fans enjoyed more but the story and gameplay was incredible enough to male this game one of the best in 2021.
Hitman 3
Description
HITMAN 3 is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination Trilogy and takes players around the world on a globe-trotting adventure to sprawling sandbox locations. Agent 47 returns as a ruthless professional for the most important contracts of his entire career. Death awaits.
Our review
I have played hitman since the first release and somehow this game does something story wise to make you want to go back and play them again. That said the gameplay is where its at with the sandbox style open options to complete missions is what hitman 3 masters more than ever. If you like the challenge of creating cool or funny ways to assassinate targets this game will be great plus the PSVR version changes the game forever. Enjoy and thank us later.
It Takes Two
Description
Embark on the craziest journey of your life in It Takes Two, a genre-bending platform adventure created purely for co-op. Invite a friend to join for free with Friend’s Pass** and work together across a huge variety of gleefully disruptive gameplay challenges.
Our review
It takes two really means it, the challenges are deeper than a second player to fight, you have to coordinate, communicate and execute together and that’s the best feeling to make it through tough times and the story much like the gameplay puts us throughout driving the message of the game that it takes two in love and relationships. I really feel this game is underrated even after it has won many rewards. I hope the readers check it out.
kena bridge of spirits
Description
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a story-driven action adventure set in a charming world rich with exploration and fast-paced combat. Players find and grow a team of tiny spirit companions called the Rot, enhancing their abilities and creating new ways to manipulate the environment.
Our review
The beauty and charm alone keeps you loving the experience but there are layers to the story taking you on adventures helping others while also doing some self-discovery of your own and that’s what stands out most for me yet the landscapes, boss battles and magical moments stay on my mind. This single player game is about the vibes, battles and growth. Worth every second spend on it.
DeathLoop
Description
DEATHLOOP is Arkane’s take on an assassination multiplayer experience, seamlessly blending single player gameplay with multiplayer drama. Players will experience the main story as Colt, hunting down targets across the island of Blackreef to break the loop and earn his freedom.
Our review
I was impressed with the presentation overall, The universe visuals, music and feel is spot on with fun dialog from main character it has a cool vibe to it. The most impressive part of Deathloop for us was how the menu and quality of life was top tier. Finding codes the game remembers them, reading summaries instead of long pages and more sound simple enough but with the complex story and discovery system this game needed high quality of life features to make each loop better than the last. Gameplay options of stealth for players like me or the easy route guns blazing both have good level designs. My biggest issue with the game is AI being extremely simple made the runs feel to easy but overall a good time with awesome voice acting and script.
Resident Evil Village
Description
More than just a mysterious backdrop for the horrifying events that unfold in the game, the village is a character in its own right with mysteries for Ethan to uncover and terrors to escape from.
Our review
There is nothing like Resident evil games and Village stands out for overall experience. I played my first hour and felt the rush of being trapped surrounded by terror as I fought off enemies and had to think quick to find my way. The game picks up the pace with its main villain and the feeling of horror throughout the game. Playing this on ps5 really gave us chills. We want more RE games asap.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Description
In Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the player assumes control of Peter Quill / Star-Lord from a third-person perspective. The player can utilize Star-Lord’s elemental guns to defeat enemies, and fly through the air using his jet boots. … Throughout the game, Star-Lord’s decisions will be referenced by his teammates.
Our review
One thing that Marvel movies does great is give you moments of laughter, joy and excitement and this game found a way to do the same. Capturing the relationships and universe well with some great writing this is a gem within the list. I hope we get a sequel but if you haven’t played it go for it, It makes me think about rewatching the movies and I love when media does that. I am Groot.
