Best PlayStation Exclusive 2021: Returnal
PS5 and PS4 are packed with brilliant third-party games, but it’s the exclusives that separate Sony’s consoles from the rest of the pack. Things like God of War, Uncharted, Gran Turismo etc, are only available on PlayStation formats, and for another year, it’s time to celebrate the best games you can only pick up on Sony’s telly boxes.
This year wasn’t packed with some of the more usual suspects; rather, we got some original IP punctuated by a couple of returning classics. However, while the voting was pretty close, Housemarque’s Returnal ultimately won over our PSU staff.
