Summary Astro’s Playroomis the bestPlayStation 5game. There. I said it. When I bought a PS5 and downloaded my first games – mostly big exclusives likeSpider-ManandGod of Warthat I’d missed by not owning a PS4 – it wasn’t any of the showy prestige Sony games that represented the modern PlayStation brand, but Astro’s Playroom that sold me on the console.

I’ve been an enthusiastic Kart racer for most of my life. The Nintendo 64 was my first console, and I can’t even begin to estimate how much time I spent with Peach in the driver’s seat onMario Kart64. I still play a few rounds of Deluxe online almost every night, unwinding after a long day with a white-knuckle JoyCon grip as I careen into space on Rainbow Road.
