Black Friday deals can get chaotic, but as a PS5 owner, this is the one time of year I actually get excited about the deals. Not just for the savings, but because this is when I finally commit to the games that truly deserve my time and attention. If you are building your must-play list or just want one great reason to switch your console back on, these three PS5 games deserve a spot in your library.
Silent Hill 2 – $50 $30
Silent Hill 2 is the kind of horror that gets inside your head, and I felt that from the very first walk through the fog. The remake nails that eerie quiet where you hear nothing but your footsteps and the distant crackle of static. I love how the game makes me sit with the tension instead of pushing me forward. Even simple hallway exploration feels like a test of nerves at times. Combat is clumsy in a way that feels intentional, almost human. If you want a horror game that stays with you even after you turn off your PS5, this is the one I recommend.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – $70 $50
When I plunged into Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on my PS5, I was hooked from the first hour. I am drawn to it because it does not feel like a typical action game. The world feels vast and unpredictable, with terrain hazards and enemies that force you to plan each move carefully. The improved combat and smoother traversal add weight to every delivery run. I appreciate how the story feels heavier as each mission carries real emotional stakes, and the feeling of connection and isolation hits harder than before, making this sequel one of the most immersive games I’ve played.
God of War Ragnarok – $70 $20
In my opinion, God of Ragnarok is one of the most complete games on PS5. The way the sun cuts through snow-covered trees, how snow crunches under my boots, makes the world feel alive. Combat is brutal in the best way. Every swing of the Leviathan Axe, every crash of the Blades of Chaos, hits with weight, letting me feel the fury. I found myself exploring ruins and forests long after the main fight was over, drawn in by lore and secrets. What truly grabbed me was the story. The bond between Kratos and Atreus is raw and real, and their relationship gives every fight purpose.
No matter which one you choose to buy this Black Friday, each of these games will remind you why owning a PS5 still feels special.
