The best PS5 accessories for 2025

Shopping for players can be difficult. Even if you know the type of games they usually play, there’s no guarantee they’ll like a specific title. But I have no qualms about recommending it Astro Bot To anyone on your list with a PS5.

I don’t have a lot of time to play games, so I’m careful which ones I pick (I mostly hit Engadget reviews), so when Jess calls. Astro Bot “One of the best games Sony has ever made” I thought it was a safe bet. That was an understatement on my part. It’s a delight: inventive but utterly intuitive, adorable but not pretty. You play as Astro to find his bot friends on different fantastic planets. Some of these friends are dressed up as characters from other video games. The novelty isn’t just exciting for gamers: in my house, it also led to discussions about gaming history. For example, my husband and son looked up Ico after seeing the bots dressed as two of the game’s main characters.

The controller itself plays a big role, both in the display and in new ways to use it. It’s challenging to play, but easy enough that my seven-year-old has gotten pretty deep. In fact, that’s my only complaint. Of all the other people in my house who want to play, I rarely get the chance. But this attests to universal appeal, high quality in any gift. – Amy Skorheim, Reporter
