This Rockstar game combines a narrative-driven single-player experience with free exploration across vast landscapes, ranging from towns to wilderness, where you can hunt, commit crimes, complete specific missions, or simply travel around. But remember: every choice you make has a major impact on your reputation in towns and with the people you meet.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

He was introduced in the first Spider-Man game and got his own game in 2019: Miles Morales. This game is a sequel to the first Spider-Man and is set before Spider-Man 2. The game tells the story of a young Miles who, in the absence of his mentor Peter Parker (the original Spider-Man), protects wintry New York from familiar enemies and The Underground: a mysterious group that uses modern technology as its main weapon. Meanwhile, Miles is busy finding his way in his new hometown of Harlem, and he’s also confronted with personal dilemmas. He needs Peter’s wise lessons and the help of his friends, but sometimes also that of his enemies. This game introduces you to Miles’ unique powers and features a great storyline with fun side missions. And here’s a little-known fact: this Spider-Man game was one of the first PS5 games released alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5.
