For you, I would say Demon's Souls is a must. If Souls games aren't your thing, then Returnal should be on the list instead. Both are great showcases for what the system can do and are really great games in their own right. Not for the little 'uns though. I think all children should be molded in the hot flames of Demon's Souls.

Spidey Miles Morales is excellent. It's the same as Spidey but I gelled with it more. User Dougs heavily identifies with the swagger of black American teens

Yeah, SM:MM was ace. I'm not massively into the comics and whatnot, so Spiderverse and this were my first proper introductions to the character. You couldn't really ask for two better introductions...
The main game is great too of course, but MM felt a lot more focussed and less of a slog to get through (even the platinum didn't feel that bad despite needing to play through the game again)

I'm all over the sequel with both Spiderman and Miles playable. I've got full confidence in Insomniac smashing it tbh, they've become one of my favourite devs of late.

Original Spider-Man is the only game I've ever 100%ed (or, at least, only game with more than basic achievements that I've 100%ed). I may have burnt out on it a bit before reaching MM and ended up not loving it quite so much. I just enjoyed the story more in the original.
Morales is still fantastic though.

@goatapocalypse Also. Whilst not exaclty utilising the power of the PS5, three games that are absoulte musts for playing with the children: Human Fall Flat Totally Reliable Delivery Service Speedrunners Me and the boy laugh ourselves stupid playing the top two and the bottom one is just fucking excellent (might be a bit difficult to play with younger children though). TRDS and Speedruners are literally 3 quid each on PSN right now for the complete editions and if HFF isn't, it will be soon.
Oh. Also Goat Simluator. The sequel is out but the first one is still delightfully silly.
Despite the fact that me and the boy co-op all the souls games and Destiny regularly, it's these delightfully stupid couch co-op games that really get us laughing our big silly heads off.
Dude, thanks for the tip on those first two. Was looking for some fun local Co op games to play with the boy. They look perfect.

It is. The other games are far better. Everyone should buy Speedrunners purely for the music tbh.

I was the opposite, I really didn't like the Miles game. Enjoyed the storyline and the character but hated the swinging and the general menu/UI look. But then that's personal choice and the story like I said is pretty decent.

SM:MM plays better but I didnt connect with the story *at all*. His Heroes Journey is just a couple of hours of him fucking everything up and shining a light on the 'who asked you to butt in?' side of vigilantism.
I dunno, maybe Im overthinking it, but pretty much the entire plot is his fault and it just makes him look like a violent busy body.

Yay it arrived. Bit of a faff to get audio and visual going through my Samsung Q950a soundbar to the TV but got there in the end (apparently the PS5 didn't like being in HDMI2 on the soundbar).
Controller feels nice, UI seems very sparse compared to Xbox but I guess I need some actual games on there. There are far fewer options on video and audio than on Xbox, too - which may be a blessing in disguise.
I'm going to do the trial of PS Extra and play around with a few games later.

The simplicity of the dashboard is a blessing IMO. On Xbox I always wish I could remove the “add more groups” bit at the bottom, as I want my dashboard as minimalist as possible. That said, Xbox’s has improved over time, and PS5 still can’t sort itself out and just arrange your library in alphabetical order.

Just got whacked by the Vanguard Demon and oh my good lord DeS is so, so pretty and the combat feels even better than Elden Ring. Very, very impressed and I do not want to put it away tonight before the kids come over tomorrow!

I’m going to get lynched, but I still haven’t completed Astro. My kids played it for a bit but I just jumped straight into Elden Ring.
