hello and welcome to playstation access and a tour of some of the biggest games on the horizon one of them is horizon forbidden west do you feel that tingling in your fingers well for once it isn't the dual sense wireless controllers haptic feedback but a sense of electrifying anticipation for the next 12 months of playstation magic here are 20 playstation games you absolutely must play in 2021 and beyond we kick off with ratchet and clank rift apart not just a welcome return for our favorite lombax robot combo but a real showcase for playstation 5. dr nefarious has torn holes in reality and while this is definitely a problem and we are definitely cross about it we're secretly quite happy as it shows off the lightning fast ps5 ssd as you whip between dimensions in a blink of an eye it's a visual showstopper only possible on ps5 as is the way the dual sense wireless controller brings insomniacs arsenal to life adaptive triggers differentiate between firing modes and haptic feedback perfectly captures the energy surge of shatter bombs as they leave ratchet's hand throw in 3d spatial audio and real-time ray tracing reflections on clank's metallic bod and this will give your new console a real workout well if i had a magical rift i would jump to a dimension where horizon forbidden west was already released the sequel to one of ps4's best games he's returning hero a loy venturing west to the overgrown remains of san francisco someone really needs to weed the golden gate bridge it's here that you'll encounter new friends and enemies and more importantly shiny new machines from the turtle-like shell snappers to herds of robo-piggies called bristlebacks visiting the warmer climbs of the west coast also invites ailoy to take a dip into the briny blue literally diving into humanity's history as horizon's brilliant sci-fi lore grows ever more mysterious if you're anything like me then you watch the trailer at least two times a day it brings you three minutes closer to release it's a life hack gorillas certainly make pretty water i'm a firm believer that the number one test of graphics is how wet the water looks but it's closely followed by how shiny is that carb on it they come none shinier than gran turismo 7s thanks to 4k support and ray tracing that accurately reflects every tree and frightened woodland creature as you go zooming past polyphony digital's racing simulation has long been the high water mark of virtual motors but ps5 gives it a proper mot it'll go from naught to 60 even faster thanks to ssd loading times will capture every terrifying pothole with haptic feedback and uses adaptive triggers to simulate the weight and resistance of your throttle and brakes and with the return of gt simulation career mode you'll have ample opportunities to test all this out when gran turismo 7 parks up on ps5 hogwarts legacy is doing something no harry potter game has done before letting you explore an open world version of the famous wizarding school but as your own characters you're not just repeating the stories of the books yep you'll be able to plonk your head in the sorting hat join a house of your choosing i mean i'm gonna be a slytherin but a nice slytherin and a ten lessons to develop into a witch or wizard of your choosing it is a proper rpg with difficult decisions and miles of surrounding land to explore so you too can bunk off school and hope the tutors don't catch you necking butterbeer and hogsmeade oh and fortunately it is set in the 1800s so there's no chance of him with the scar hogging the spotlight ah hitman helping bald men feel cool for 20 years hitman 3 continues that fine work and makes up for all the international travel we missed last year the final installment of io interactive's world of assassination trilogy takes us from the sky touching heights of dubai to the rain-drenched streets of chongqing china via an english manner where there's a murder mystery to solve before you can identify the guilty party and add to the body count poirot would not approve and the big headline this time is that you can enjoy this and every level from the last two outings in psvr so you too can finally walk a mile in a bald man's shoes expect your appreciation of hats to change dramatically when this arrives on january the 20th speaking of assassins death loop has two for the price of one you play as cult who is trapped in a time loop on black reef his only way to escape kill eight targets before the day ends problem is he's been hunted by rival killer juliana and in a magic twist juliana can be controlled by another player invading colt's single-player story to try and derail it on top of that developers arcane leon makers of the fabulous dishonored series are having real fun with the dual sense wireless controller you'll feel different reload animations through haptics pee juliana taunting you through the speaker and best of all feel gun jams before you see them as the adaptive trigger locks up prepare yourself for this very violent groundhog day on may 21st far cry is a codeword for escapist fun after trips to the himalayas and montana far cry 6 visits yara a caribbean island that is not only the largest far cry setting ever but boasts the series first urban war zone fighting to seize the streets of esperanza will be very different to the wide open fields we're used to with gunfights in tight alleys and showdowns across the city's rooftops oh and you can also enlist a dashand in a wheelchair called chorizo into your army of gorilla fighters help is welcomed as you're up against anton castillo played by the frankly terrifying giancarlo esposito from breaking bad if he lays a finger on chorizo we riot well it sounds like we'll be writing either way but we'll you know write extra hard 2021 or 2020 glom if little nightmares 2 has anything to say about it the next 12 months will not be happy once we're back in tarcia studios freaky universe where children struggle to outwit gibbering adult monstrosities it's basically a checklist of the worst things ever living disembodied hands check necks that twist a little too far check creaking mannequins no sorry i draw the line at mannequins that move when you look away that's too much it's too much the 2017 original was one of the most distinct horror games of the generation and this looks to grow it in every way bigger monsters bigger escape sequences and bigger screams i'm already looking excitedly nervously at the 11th of february release date from things that go bump in the night we now look at things that go biff and pow in the night it's gotham nights an exciting return to the open world streets of gotham city that are a little bit more dangerous than before due to um batman being dead bummer in his place you play as his various proteges batgirl nightwing red hood and robin taking down iconic villains with a familiar mix of stealth gadgetry and good old-fashioned fist on face it's more of an action rpg than the classic arkham games and there's a focus on two-player co-op do two sidekicks have the power of one batman we'll solve the superhero mathematics when gotham knights comes to ps4 and ps5 in 2021 next up is ghost wire tokyo from tango gameworks in this trip to japan's capital 99 of the city's population has vanished which is great news if you wanted tickets to hamilton but not so much for well everything else it is your job to solve this mystery wheeling spiritual attacks and abilities triggered with kujikiri hand gestures so less like a first-person shooter and more like a first-person pointer this is more of an action-adventure than the out-and-out horror game you might expect from the makers of the evil within even though it does draw on a mix of japanese folklore and modern-day urban legends to populate the iconic landmarks of shibuya with all kinds of nightmare fodder i cannot wait for a spectacular spooking if it is out and out horror you're looking for then book a visit to resident evil village after incredible remakes of resi two and three capcom return with an all-new tale you are back in the first person body of resident evil 7's ethan winters think he deserves a break after the baker family well it's not called resident kindness is it an almost unrecognizable chris redfield whisks him to a new snowy setting where ethan uncovers local secrets while escaping packs of wolf-like monsters resi7's first-person perspective made it one of the most immersive scare-em-ups in years and this looks like a phenomenal leap over that with a level of detail only made possible by the hefty innards of ps5 i mean look at that chandelier the scariest thing here is the bill for all those candles if you think paying for candles is going to be steep wait until your mechanic prices your car fixes in destruction all starts in this hyperkinetic future sports teams of colorful heroes and even more colorful cars enter combat arenas to try and smash to victory there are giant traps to mince up rivals and some brave contestants may even try to survive on foot and hijack their desired cards it is all about escalating mayhem ramp up the havoc and you access a hero vehicle with unique attacks all this is playable in a solo series or 16 player online matches this is going to be colorful chaotic crunchy and probably some other nice words beginning with c i mean we'll find out soon enough in february kina bridge of spirits was a lovely surprise at the ps5 reveal in june 2020 a luscious action adventure set in a mystic land inspired by japan and bali oh and starring a cast of critters so adorable it'll be a crime if they don't get turned into a plush toy range you are keener a spirit guide working to save trapped souls from a forgotten village she enlists the aforementioned fluff balls known as the rot to help her solve puzzles and distract enemies in combat they'll only get involved once you've softened up corrupted spirits with your staff and bow combo a good chance to feel that simulated bow string resistance through the dual sense wireless controller's adaptive triggers my question will it also let us feel those fuzzy little guys here's hoping here's one that just rolls off the tongue it's near replicant version 1.224 744 87139 but let's skip the numbers from now on this is a remake of 2010's nia replicant the japan exclusive version of the ps3 game that later spawned the phenomenal near automata it was a bit of a cult classic back in the day so he's getting a very welcome second shot at the spotlight with everyone's favorite moon-headed director yokotaro taking care of it it's not a simple remaster but delves into the nuts and bolts updating the 10 year old combat to please modern automata fans and recording new vocal performances this fascinating accompaniment to the new aniya comes to ps4 on the 23rd of april speaking of jrpgs i am feeling like a very lucky man not only did i get final fantasy 7 remake in 2020 but news of final fantasy 16 as well and the next mainline entry looks glorious a return to the high fantasy stories of knights royal families and massive magical crystals it's being shepherded by producer naoki yoshida whose work on final fantasy xiv is beloved for its brilliant story so i've got high hopes this is going to be another tale for the ages it all revolves around the power of icons think summons and the humans they inhabit you're a royal knight clive tasked with protecting your younger brother who has the phoenix icon inside him i honestly could make this whole video about this one game the chocobos the slick real-time combat the terrifying male bro the music but there'll be plenty of time for that in 2021 what a time to be alive eh has it really been 23 years since abe made his dramatic escape from rupture farms on playstation one time truly flies when you're accidentally leading your friends into a mincer oddworld soulstorm is actually a reimagining of the second game in the series abe's exodus yes it maintains the blend of side on stealth and puzzling but it is expanded with a new 2.90 art style that sees worlds buzz with new layers of activity you might be dodging trains as they hurtle into the foreground or picking off sligs in the background with a gun turret throw in a crafting system and even larger numbers of friends to lead to safety and this is almost unrecognizable from its source material i can't wait to make a bid for my freedom in 2021 next up a game that puts the blocks into blockbuster lego star wars the skywalker saga this is a total star wars experience all nine films retold in plastic from the early days of trade federations all the way up to kylo ren's temper tantrums it's not the first time many of these films have undergone lego vacation but they'll feel fresh thanks to combat that lets force users mix lightsaber combos and mind magics while sharpshooters like han solo get an over-the-shoulder camera so it feels more like a traditional shooter and of course it comes with the lego games usual mountain of secrets sight gags and explorable hub worlds by the time you've finished all that they'll probably have made another trilogy known for a space adventure of a very different kite this is returnable from those big brains at hausmark best known for the scorching arcade thrills of resogun this is a very different proposition astronaut celine is stuck in a looping nightmare her ship crashing on an alien world where every death resets her in a slightly different landscape and thanks to ps5's ssd those resets will be lightning fast so you can quickly get back to being killed by deadly creatures thanks ssd there are echoes of house marks arcade sensibilities in the bullet hell action and you know it will feel great under the fingers thanks to the dual sense wireless controller's adaptive triggers controlling alternate firing modes i cannot wait to get going and get dying we've another trip to an alien world in our next game out riders although one look at the arsenal you're packing here and it's the local wildlife you worry for developers people can fly are best known for their ridiculous boom sticks in bullet storm and this takes the know-how and grafts it onto a huge looter shooter action rpg you'll amass hundreds of weapons as you make a home on enoch and get to play with brilliant space magics that do everything from freezing time to materializing new guns out of thin air played alone this is a juicy spectacle but multiply that action by three and co-op and you see outriders as it's meant to be played this is a big booming blockbuster and i can't wait to dive in on february the second right there was no way we were making this list without including strike which is described as a third-person cat adventure game why this isn't already the most popular genre on earth i do not know maybe this will kickstart a movement you play as a lost moggie attempting to navigate a mysterious cyber city to get home this involves sneaking past its robot population or just getting their attention with adorable meowing it sounds like the team at blue 12 want to capture the full cat spectrum from purring pal to playful pest i love the neon city design and the sight of a cat wearing a backpack is an obvious winner and praise be this is slinking onto ps5 in 2021 of course these are just a fraction of the games coming to playstation consoles in 2021 and beyond if you don't mind me squeezing in a bonus 21st game i have got to give a little shout out for the next god of war that is also due out in 2021 we would love to hear what is at the top of your must play list and while you're here please

Is little devil inside not coming anytime soon?

[u/Sponge_Bond]

Ratchet and Clank.

Can not.

Fucking wait.

These games have been with me for a majority of my life. If this is the start of a new PS5 trilogy. I'd be so happy.

[u/coolskateboardguy]

Kena: Bridge of Spirits looks damn good, this is the first I've seen of it and it's peaked my interest.
Personally I'm most looking forward to Hitman 3 and Disco Elysium: Final Cut.

[u/JMM85JMM]

Starting to get a bit frustrated with their videos because it's always 'thanks to the PS5s SSD' this or 'only possible with the haptic feedback' that.

Too much sales pitch. I find it off-putting. This amazing line up speaks for itself.

[u/AGuyWhoLikesDunks]

FF16, Horizon and Ratchet and Clank all I need 🤤🤤

[u/protik7]

This means I'll play them in 2022 when the price is below $20. I can wait.

[u/[deleted]]
