The next generation of consoles is almost here. The Xbox Series X and the Playstation 5 are available for preorder now, though you'll be hard-pressed to get your name on list before individual batches sell out. While some games (cough cough Halo Infinite) are getting delayed from day one launches, there is still plenty to look forward to on these upcoming systems. Here are five games we are excited to play.
Ratchet & Clank has been a stable showcase for new Sony hardware for over a decade, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is no exception. If you've never played, it might be easy to see the game's cartoony aesthetic and dismiss it as kid stuff, but these chaotic-third person shooters are reliably a blast for anyone with a sense of fun who needs a break from "realism" now and then, and Rift Apart looks no different.
Horizon Forbidden West
Horizon: Zero Dawn was a huge hit among PlayStation 4 owners and critics alike for its beautiful and unusual open-world setting that meshed a pre-historic vibe with herds of killer robots. Forbidden West looks set to carry on the tradition with even better graphics as a cornerstone show-piece for the PlayStation 5's processing prowess.
