IGN gave this game an 8\/10 in 2025 and praised it for its excellent writing, immersive world, and stellar performances. Mafia: The Old Country also recently had an expansion that adds additional story content, for those who want more.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">You&#8217;ll also get access to Horizon Forbidden West, the sequel to Guerrilla&#8217;s excellent open-world action RPG. We gave this a 9\/10 upon its release, making it one of the most respected and beloved first-party games available on PS5.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Best PS5 Games<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"&lt;h2&gt;The Top 25 PS5 Games&lt;\/h2&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;We\u2019re more than halfway through 2025, making it an excellent time to revisit our list of the best of what the PlayStation 5 has to offer. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;But what do we mean by \u201cbest?\u201d To be very clear, this is not an attempt at an \u201cobjective\u201d ranking that will indisputably line up with the tastes of gamers of all types. That, sadly, cannot exist; when one person\u2019s epic RPG masterpiece is another\u2019s boring and impenetrable slog, they\u2019ll never see eye to eye on where that game should rank against others of different genres. Even the personal lists of two people who love the same types of games will rarely line up exactly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;Instead, this is a list of games that IGN\u2019s crew of PlayStation gamers recommend as a group, ranked using our Face-Off tool so that everybody got to weigh in equally on which games they thought should be placed above others. It\u2019s presented in the spirit of recognizing games we love, and encouraging others to try them if you haven\u2019t. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;With only 25 slots to fill, there are tons of amazing recent games that didn\u2019t float to the top \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t think they\u2019re awesome, too! Everybody who participated in voting has tons of personal favorites that didn\u2019t gain quite enough traction with the group to make the cut, which is inevitable when there are this many games and so many different perspectives. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;Bear in mind that while the PS5 is a powerhouse that can play any PlayStation 4-compatible game, for the sake of clarity our criteria for this list narrowed the pool down to focus on games that have PlayStation 5-specific versions. So while we still love games like the 2016 Doom, God of War, Minecraft, Red Dead Redemption 2, and many, many more, until they get that update they're relegated to the PS4 list \u2013 and of course many will have a spot on our list of the Top 100 Games of All Time.&#10;Most importantly, remember that this list is just our group\u2019s perspective and is no more \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d than a list that you create yourself. Speaking of which: if you have your own ranking you\u2019d like to put out into the world, we\u2019d like to invite you to make your own top 25 (or top 100!) list of PlayStation games using our Playlist tool and share it in the comments. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&#10;The most recent updates were made on July 15, 2025\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The game catalog will also add a new co-op looter shooter known as Mycopunk, giving you something to play with a group of friends this month.
