The first perceived killer app for the PS5 falls a bit short of that title. This isn't Infamous Second Son level bland but there are a lot of unfortunate missteps here. Graphically, the game looks incredibly advanced and impressive with great models, animations, and reflections being the highlights. The story is inoffensive, it's fine it is sorta just there but unfortunately, the game is incredibly committed to shoving this story down your throat even though it frankly isn't really interesting. They also pull the animated movie cliche of "the two friends split apart near the end" in the most ridiculous way possible. The gameplay is pretty fun balancing ammo of a vast array of weapon types and seeing what takes down what enemy most effectively. The game is a fairly easy romp until the end where instead of coming up with unique enemy types or more interesting encounters, they throw 2 billion enemies at you. Do I recommend PS5 owners this game? Yes. However, this isn't the killer app for the PS5.
