Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Ignoring current gen stuff, it completely changed the experience of last gen games for me, too.
I like games at a difficulty level that's fair, but punishing. If I make the same mistake 20 times in a row, I want it to get me killed 20 times. There are plenty of games that do this reasonably well, but on PS4, those deaths might take 5 minutes to load back into. On PS5, it doesn't. There were several games where I wasn't willing to spend an hour to play 10 minutes because they were on a particularly challenging encounter, but were great experiences with the better loads on PS5.
The triggers are also amazing, especially in combination with the high fidelity vibration. They add a lot of feedback in games that utilize them well, in a way that allows for much tighter precision of controls with a smoother learning curve.
