After finishing a few Sony AAA titles in the last few months, I do not play much anymore. Looking for recommendations on non-AAA games on PS5 - maybe there are some hidden gems. I am not too much into anime style games or souls likes (but to think about it, I never even tried souls likes). I am waiting for Blood of the Dawnwalker and GTA 6, and my backlog is pretty much empty, with exception of Expedition 33 and Hitman - cannot get myself to resume them.

 

[FoxMcChief]

The new Tomb Raider looks pretty good.

(but to think about it, I never even tried souls likes).

[StoopKidz]

Sifu, Evil West, Remnant 2, Outer Wilds, Tunic, Death's Door, Darksider's Genesis

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

GTA 6 is coming out in a couple months

 

[The_hunter]

Balatro.

Dragon's crown Pro, it goes on sale often for $5. Has a unique art style.

 

[violence]

GTA 6 will be quadruple A

 

[Sethbacca]

Frostpunk 1 or 2 (2 is significantly more complicated than 1, but still fun), Weird West, Dead Cells, Valfaris, Hades, the Hotline Miami games

 

[manlisten]

If you enjoy FPS/arena shooters, try Metal Eden. It's "free" on PS+ extra currently.

 

[MrRibeye]

The new Tomb Raider looks pretty good.

 

[diffusionx]

I don't really know what non AAA means but based on what I think: Mechwarrior 5, Jagged Alliance 3, Promise Mascot Agency, Robocop, Snowrunner, Kamitsu-Gami, Epic Mickey, Lunar and Suikoden collections…

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Sinking City maybe? I think it's classified as AA but not entirely sure.

The sequel looks more like AAA.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Silksong

Fez

 

[PauloRoberto]

I will throw an extremely curve ball here.... The Surge (the first one).

 

[Markio128]

If you fancy cheap and cheerful then you can't go wrong with Vampire Survivors and BALL x PITT. They've both kept me entertained for hours.

 

[wvnative]

Robocop Rouge City and the standalone DLC

 

[LavitzSlambert]

The Messenger and Sea of Stars are both excellent indie games from Sabotage.

 

[Kerotan]

Kena bridge of spirits. Also it's getting a sequel.

 

[Hypereides]

Here's some you could consider checking out in that vain:

• Enotria, Thymesia
• Hotel Barcelona
• Deliver at all costs
• Wanted: dead
• Evil west
• Bomb Rush cyberfunk
• Steel seed
• Steelrising
• Robocop

This is the best answer you got, OP.
