With the announcement of the PS5, fans are excited to start playing tons of new games on Sony’s newest next-gen console. From remakes to all-new adventures, there have been plenty of titles announced that ensure that there’s a game out there for everyone.
Still, with so many options announced and soon to be available, the question remains: which game should fans play first? Should they start a remake of one of their old favorite games, or should they try out a new title? It may seem impossible to choose just one game, so maybe the Chinese Zodiac can help with that decision.
12 Rat: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
Rats tend to have an optimistic attitude, even in the worst situations. In many cases, their optimism pays off with their intelligence, as they can usually use whatever skills and surroundings they have to get out of a jam.
It looks like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart will be a very pleasant experience. The game’s main characters are usually great examples of positivity, especially so younger audiences can also enjoy the story. With a vast, creative, and imaginative world to explore, Rats are sure to put their brains and their smiles to work.
11 Ox: Demon’s Souls
Fans of Dark Souls will know why the Ox is perfect for this game. The Ox is usually someone who has a lot of willpower, and they use that to carefully plan and solve their problems with as much power as they can. All these aspects sum up what’s needed to play a game like Demon’s Souls, a remake of the game that came before Dark Souls.
The game is known for being a tough experience, so players will need a lot of patience to get through all of the powerful enemies. However, the beautiful visuals and exciting experiences will hopefully make up for any rage that builds up from dying over and over again.
10 Tiger: Resident Evil 8: Village
Tigers are usually very self-assured, and they don’t have any problem with facing challenges without much of a plan. They work on-the-fly, and sometimes that leads to victory, while other times it can lead to bad consequences from being in a hurry.
For Resident Evil 8: Village, players will need to have enough confidence to fight anything that jumps out at them. With new foes to fight, fans of the series won’t know what to expect, so they probably will feel unprepared, but they’ll hopefully be able to stay on their toes.
9 Rabbit: Oddworld: Soulstorm
Rabbits are usually soft in nature and voice, but they are known for trying to help anyone that they can. While they might not seem very tough, they are determined people who try to make sure that everyone is happy.
Abe, the main character of Oddworld: Soulstorm, might seem shy, but he cares a lot about his people and makes sure that he uses all of his bravery to help them achieve freedom. Plus, he has stitches over his mouth, so he’s not the most talkative character in the game.
8 Dragon: Godfall
Dragons tend to be very sure of themselves and their power, so they aren’t afraid of a fight. They’re sometimes seen as a bit destructive, but in the case of a game like Godfall, that can work to one’s advantage.
Godfall lets players show off their power and style with its bright visuals and intense melee action. It’s sure to be a hit for fans that want to get loot and make an impact in their games.
7 Snake: Hitman 3
The snake is someone who has a lot of intuition and has a bright mind. They work best on their own, and can sometimes be seen as closed off from others.
Anyone familiar with the Hitman series will know that Agent 47 fits the snake personality well in some regards. The goal of the game is to be stealthy and smart about how you take out your targets. From disguises to planning traps, Agent 47 is a great character for Snake players to be.
6 Horse: Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Horses are comedic people, who love to bring joy to a group with their banter and their energy. Even though they might seem like they’re too focused on their own needs at times, they are actually sympathetic and want to help others when they can.
While Miles Morales isn’t Peter Parker, he’s still Spider-Man, and he’s got the sense of humor that has been a staple of the web-slinger too. Fans of the first Spider-Man game by Insomniac Games are sure to love helping to save the day as Miles in this new installment.
5 Goat: Solar Ash
Those who are Goats are usually creative individuals who are very focused when it comes to achieving their goals. They do tend to be quiet, but they have a great inner strength that’s improved by how often they reflect on themselves.
Solar Ash is a very creative, colorful game that lets players connect with the quiet protagonist. Fears will be faced, new lands will be explored, and players will have plenty of gameplay to be amazed by as they focus on their new goals.
4 Monkey: Goodbye Volcano High
When it comes to being talkative, Monkeys are one of the best members of the zodiac to bring their wit into a crowd. They can have strong relationships, but they are sometimes too covetous of their partners or friends when others are around.
Goodbye Volcano High has choices-matter gameplay about trying to navigate through relationships and personal realizations. This can be a great outlet for players to hear stories from other perspectives and even reflect on their own lives. Plus, you get to be a dinosaur, so that’s pretty cool too.
3 Rooster: Destruction AllStars
Roosters love when all eyes are on them as they brag about how great they are. This makes Destruction AllStars a great game for them. It’s bright and flashy, it allows for players to have unique and awesome characters, and fans of this game can take all the glory when they win each event.
Considering how winning involves smashing other players’ cars to smithereens, it’s sure to be an ego-booster.
2 Dog: Deathloop
Those born in the year of the Dog are usually more alert and careful than others. They sometimes have a pessimistic view of the world, but they will still remain determined to achieve their goals when they can.
Luckily, Deathloop puts players in the shoes of Colt, who is stuck in a loop and must take out different targets to stop the day from restarting when he dies. All the while, another player can be Julianna, an assassin who tries to stop Colt. The thought of never stopping the loop may be pessimistic, but the game can help players persevere through hard times each time they die in the game.
1 Pig: Horizon Forbidden West
Pigs tend to be people who want to do their best to help others, and they are willing to do nearly anything for those that they care for. They take a lot of accountability when it comes to the well-being of those around them, and they are usually level-headed when they take on problems.
Players will remember this game’s main character, Aloy, from Horizon Zero Dawn. In this new installment, Aloy feels that the fate of the world rests on her shoulders as she fights a deadly atmosphere along with new enemies.
