Death Stranding 2 currently ranks as the sixth highest-rated game on PS5 when considering all major titles available on the platform, including multi-platform releases that also appear on PC. This places it alongside critically acclaimed cross-platform games like God of War: Ragnarok and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in terms of review scores.

Here is how the current top-rated PS5 games list stands according to Metacritic:

1. Astro Bot – 94
2. God of War: Ragnarok – 94 (Also on PC)
3. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – 92 (Also on PC)
4. Demon's Souls – 92
5. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 – 90 (Also on PC)
6. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – 90

However, when narrowing the comparison down to pure PlayStation 5 exclusives—titles not released or announced for other platforms—Death Stranding 2 rises even higher, securing a position among the top three games on the console. In this regard, it sits alongside Astro Bot and Demon's Souls as one of the best-rated experiences crafted solely for the PlayStation ecosystem.

I was gonna make a joke it's because it only has 3, but I see there's no need for that

 

[RoboFu]

Only two exclusives over 90… And Sony already talking about PS6…

 

[Mr Hyde]

 

[Zacfoldor]

An amazing success. An achievement. Gamespot is heavily weighted on metacritic and it still pulled a 90. They sucked the games score down because of woke reasons, but it still cracked 90.

This is a huge win for Playstation.

 

[ReBurn]

I guess when it inevitably goes to PC it's back to two?

 

[Ribi]

Thats a lot of goal post moving for a tech demo

 

[Audiophile]

Are there more than 3?

 

[Horseganador]

Another goty quality game for PS5 this year.

 

[Gonzito]

[Hudo]

To be fair, getting into the Top 3 of 3 games isn't that hard...

 

[Unknown?]

Bunch of sad saps in here that can't handle PS5 having so many critical hits.

 

[schaft0620]

I played the first two hours and it does a great job of walking you through some of the changes they made. I am very happy. Can't wait to go home and play more.

 

[GymWolf]

Not sure what hurt more, the panderman 2 score or the remilk part 2 score

 

[Hideous Snake]

Good stuff. Game so far is magnificent

Ragnarok 94 is absolute comedy

 

[Roufianos]

Ragnarok at 94 is an absolute joke. Fuck the hive mind games media.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

That's one poverty list of "exclusives"

 

[ElFenomeno]

Timed exclusive though.

 

[hemo memo]

1. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 – 90 (Also on PC)
   
   

*Also on PC* seems like Sony's trademark this gen.

 

[Represent.]

This game is about delivering packages

is there any real gameplay this time around?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Also on PC takes away exclusivity? Lol.

Am happy with xbox "exclusives". If they dont go to other consoles, they are considered exclusives.

[Luipadre]

Its the best "modern" sony sequel and for me the best PS5 exclusive title currently

 

[SamuraiEdge]

I am happy Hideo delivered another banger at 90 MC; the legend still has it.

Im getting so triggered whenever i see someone saying this. The gameplay in DS was great, in DS2 its fucking amazing. Talking shit about it without playing it is the common thing with this game.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Realise I'm tempting the ire of rabid Sony fanboys here but how in the flying fuck are Spider Man 2 and God of War 2 92 and 94 rated. They do almost nothing different from the first games.

At least DS2 looks a marked improvement on the first game.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Only 3 for PS5 is sad.

I really don't know if the OP a Sony fan or a enemy

It's an Aramex/DHL delivery game where the world is broken and full of ghosts.

In the case of Spider-Man the first was so good but rated less and the sequel was not as good(whole package) but rated higher.

Very good game.

 

[mckmas8808]

Only two exclusives over 90… And Sony already talking about PS6…

I wish they'd stop talking about their next-gen console completely! And it's not two. It's 6 that are in the OP.

 

[mckmas8808]

Ragnarok at 94 is an absolute joke. Fuck the hive mind games media.

 

[Kilau]

God of Bore and Woke-Man 2 really bring those scores into question.

 

[Spukc]

I can not for the life of me understand how spiderman DLC edition got a 9

 

[SlimySnake]

Interesting to see Sony produce three aaa games these past three years and all getting 90+. I know I'm ignoring concord but let's just go with single player for now and they are producing fewer games than ever that still review really well.

 

[MiguelItUp]

What's wild is that it's a timed exclusive and it's the first PS5 title I've purchased in a LONG time. I do still wanna get Astro Bot though, and I'll likely do that soonly as you can get it for around $30-$35 digital ATM.

Returnal deserves to be on that list. Ragnarok is more of a mid-high 80's game in my mind

 

[Aces High]

Ragnarok is more of a mid-high 80's game in my mind

High 70s for me.

 

[Judge Magister]

Congrats on finding a stupid argument in order to move the game up in that list. If it's 6th, it's 6th. It will be on PC soon.

[Bernardougf]

The good and modern access woke media

 

[SkylineRKR]

Ragnarok is another entitled wank fest. Like Horizon and Spiderman the characters just never shut the fuck up and its filled with walking and padding.

Returnal and Astro Bot are the best ones this gen. Death Stranding 2 depends, for me probably yes as I totally liked the original.

 

[LimanimaPT]

I just hope the UI isn't the same hell as the first one. So much pollution that at some point I just quit trying to read all that crap and just skipped all screens.

I tried multiple times to get into the game but I failed...
