While the recent release of God of War: Sons of Sparta generated excitement, two other new PS5 games are surprisingly receiving even better reviews on the PlayStation Store. Sons of Sparta, a 2D action platformer, currently boasts a 4.76 out of 5 rating (or 95 out of 100) based on 4,000 user reviews. However, two other recently released PS5 titles have managed to score higher with players.
Two new PS5 games are getting great reviews. Romeo Is a Dead Man, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, has a 4.87 out of 5 rating based on 749 user reviews – which translates to 97 out of 100. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma from Marvelous also has a high score of 4.89 after 131 reviews, equaling 98 out of 100. While both games are well-received, it’s worth noting that Rune Factory currently has significantly fewer reviews than Romeo Is a Dead Man.
Romeo Is a Dead Man
Romeo Is a Dead Man is a fast-paced, action-packed game filled with intense violence. You play as Romeo Stargazer, known as Dead Man, a bounty hunter who hunts down dangerous criminals across different universes, all while caught between life and death.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is a unique game that blends RPG adventure with life simulation, and it’s part of the long-running Rune Factory series which began in 2008. You’ll play as one of two characters whose fates are connected, and find yourself in the brand new country of Asuma. As an Earth Dancer, you’ll need to use your powers to stop a spreading corruption that threatens to destroy the land.

Metacritic Score: 81
So, if those PS5 games aren’t really grabbing you, or even the new God of War game, there’s this huge new RPG – we’re talking 130 hours of gameplay! – and some PS5 owners might even be able to get it for free. I’m definitely checking it out! And hey, let me know what you think in the comments, or we can chat about it over on the ComicBook Forum.
