Top 12 Games to Play on PlayStation 5 in 2023
Hello everyone, it’s Spawn Point. Today, I want to talk about the best games to play right now on the PS5, all released in 2023. It has been a busy few months towards the end of the year, with some great releases in the first half of 2023 that may have been forgotten by now. These are my top 12 games from the last 12 months, all playable on the PlayStation 5.
Before we delve in, let me know your favorite game or one you would recommend everyone to pick up.
1. Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man 2 makes it onto the list as one of the most highly anticipated games of 2023 and it surely does not disappoint. Play as both Peter Parker and Mars Morales, explore and swing around New York City, fight enemies, and take on various bosses, notably Venom. It has retained everything we loved from the previous games but enhanced visuals, combat elements, and introduced new features for a fresh feel. Switch seamlessly between Peter Parker and Mars Morales, change suits, fast travel, and fly using new Wing suits. Even if you haven’t played the prequels, Spider-Man or Spider-Man Mars Morales, you will enjoy this one. However, playing the previous games is recommended.

Spider-Man Mars Morales is currently included in PlayStation Plus for those on the extra tier, making it worth a try.
2. Alan Wake 2
Set 13 years after the first game, Alan Wake 2 is a dark and unsettling Thriller game that looks incredible on the PS5. Follow the story of bestselling novelist Alan Wake, who finds himself trapped in an alternate dimension that he created. It’s a perfect game for nighttime play with its dark, slow, and jumpy atmosphere. The visuals, gameplay, story, and atmosphere together make it a real masterpiece. Those who enjoy horror games should not miss this one. The sound design immerses you deeply into the storyline. While being a sequel, the game has shifted from an action genre to survival horror.
