Let’s talk about games, shall we? The gaming industry has now become one robust and booming sector. Gaming has become part of almost everyone’s life. I always say that the children who used to play games yesterday have grown to be the gamers of today. This is why gaming does not seem to have any limit.
The gaming industry has grown to the point that it now determines the direction that console makers such as Sony and Microsoft should go. The PC world is also not left out.
Talking of game consoles, we now have a lot of them to choose from and the numbers does not seem to slow down. This clearly shows how big the gaming industry has become. Everyone is trying to get their own cut and it is quite understandable.
PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Lead The Console Market
In as much as we have a lot of game consoles on the market, the big names will always remain big. Taking a chunk of the market share year after year, at least for the time being. Big names such as PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo have been leaders for years now and they still lead.
The PlayStation however occupies most of the space on the pie chart making it the most popular gaming console on the planet. Sony have their in-house developed games for the PlayStation, and you can also say the same for the rest such as Nintendo and Xbox.
On the other hand, we also have third-party developers that develop games for these gaming platforms. As the market leader, most third-party developers consider creating games for the PlayStation than the rest. For this reason, we will focus on the PlayStation games for now.
So, we have compiled our top five adventure games for the year 2022. There are dozens of adventure games out there, for the PlayStation 5 gaming console especially. So many people around the world have their own preferences in the adventure gaming world. This is because adventure games are mostly about stories. You need to understand the story very well in order to complete the game.
However, there are some games that are quite popular around the world. This is because of the excellent graphics in the gameplay, how interesting the storyline is, as well as how the gameplay itself was built. Gamers love to discuss a lot about games that they enjoyed playing, and of course those that they didn’t really enjoy.
Whatever experience they had in playing any game, they mostly love to discuss it with their fellow gamers. Good experience usually leads to recommendations which then go the long way in building the popularity of that game.

1st Position (Top 5 Best PlayStation 5 Adventure Games) God of War: Ragnarök 
God of War Ragnarök is our Best PlayStation 5 Adventure Game of the year. Some may agree with me on this, but I know others may also disagree on this. The edition of this game that was released in 2018 was already one of the best. But God of War Ragnarök is in a league of its own. Right from the start to the end, you could see that a lot has really gone into improving this game to become what it is today.
It is the true definition of how a true adventure game should look and feel. It is like a life that you live in the game. In this game, Kratos and his son Atreus embark on a journey full of danger and life-threatening challenges.
Nothing even comes close to the combats in Ragnarök. Once you get into the groove and power up Kratos, you feel like a god. You also meet different kind of enemies in different sizes. The smaller, bigger and those that look impossible to destroy. This game actually entails a lot, from details, environments and more side quests that you can visit. On the PS5, it gives you the option to choose between 4K resolution or higher frame rates up to 120Hz, that is if your TV can support it.
