Man, this is truly feeling "Next Gen".
1. The DualSense Controller. That alone is the next gen experience I have been craving. I haven't picked up a video game in about a month before this came out, and man, I am glad I didn't! The PS4 is a love of mine, but the PS5 is the "person she told you not to worry about". The triggers, the microphone, the vibrations, everything about it is truly immersive.
2. Astro. For a free game, this could most definitely be one of my most favorite games of all-time. My wife and I sat down and over the course of four days we beat it. Now, this game is only about 3-7 hours long depending on how much you just want to speed run or really take it in, but we didn't want to spoil ourselves. We did a level a day. Truly a callback to the history of PlayStation, and admittedly made me feel like I had misty eyes. Truly a remarkable game, please play it if you have not already. It demonstrates just how good our new friend the DualSense is, and the callbacks to our past of gaming was remarkable. Me being a complete Sony/PlayStation fan growing up with the PS1 and owning the 2,3,4, pro, PSP, etc...this was just so much fun collecting everything! Not a spoiler, but the last level is the true eye mister.
3. The download speeds!!! They are not held back any longer. What!? My PS4 sat at 78mbps, and the PS5 is running about 298mbps I want to say is the highest I have gotten it to? So awesome for getting games downloaded. I had Cold War downloaded in 30 minutes or so which is crazy for me. I have yet to have a download take over 30 minutes for sure.
4. PS+ Collection & BugSnax. Free is always awesome, but this is crazy. 20+ amazing games that I have and have no played now all digital and get to keep. Yes please. My wife is OBSESSED by BugSnax and can't put it down, it is a silly, but also kind of dark game! I'm not too into it, but I see their market for it absolutely.
5. Then I got my PS5 on release day at around 11:30pm Mountain time, and received it at 3:15pm that Friday. PlayStation Direct came up very clutch and being a PS+ member with that 1-2 day shipping. Saw someone ask this above!
6. A++++ 10/10. I have had zero issues with it. I have been gaming, watching movies, streaming. It is my home entertainment system now for sure. I feel like there is just so much more I could share about it that I have left out, but this post is already getting ridiculously long! So, if anyone has any questions I will gladly do my best to answer them
Happy gaming!
