The best PS5 accessories for 2026

Avid gamers will be laborious to buy. Even when you realize the kind of video games they often play, there’s no assure they’ll like a particular title. However I’ve no qualms in recommending Astro Bot to anybody in your listing who has a PS5.

I don’t have a ton of time to play video games, so I’m cautious about which of them I decide (largely I simply play no matter Engadget critiques) so when Jess known as Astro Bot “one of the best games Sony has ever made” I figured it was a secure wager. That was an underestimation on my half. It’s a delight: Creative however fully intuitive, lovely however not cutesy. You play as Astro who’s tasked with discovering his bot buddies on completely different fantastical planets. A few of these buddies are dressed up as characters from different video video games. The novelty isn’t simply gratifying for players: in my home, it additionally led to discussions of gaming historical past. For instance, my husband and son regarded up Ico after seeing bots dressed as the sport’s two essential characters.

The controller itself performs a giant position, each on-screen and within the novel methods you utilize it. The gameplay is difficult, however simple sufficient to select up that my seven-year-old has gotten fairly deep into it. Actually, that’s my one criticism. Between all the opposite individuals in my home that wish to play it, I hardly ever get an opportunity. However that simply attests to the common enchantment — an awesome high quality in any reward. — Amy Skorheim, Reporter
