PlayStation 5 owners have been lucky in terms of games. From Horizon Forbidden West to God of War: Ragnarok, there has been no shortage of quality single-player experiences on Sony’s console.

The only thing that had numerous PlayStation 5 users worried was the lack of games that were specifically made for PlayStation 5. There’s a common belief amongst PlayStation 5 owners that when developers make games for both PlayStation 5 and 4, then they have to make several compromises due to the limited power of PlayStation 4 compared to its next-gen successor.
