In many current video games, the excitement of the main quest is no longer an important factor for players to judge the quality of the game, because they gradually find that the side content (or optional content) provided in the game often hides more interesting and unique game experiences.
In optional content, game designers can try different forms to unleash their creativity after breaking away from the limitations of the main story, and players can also freely explore this highly creative content to improve their evaluation of the game.
So this guide will introduce you to which games on the current PS5 contain optional content that is worth trying. First of all, it is stated that what is considered here is not only the number of optional content, but also the quality of these contents and their impact on the overall game experience.
1. Elden Ring
As the most successful Soulslike game, Elden Ring has become a classic of this type since its release. In this game, with many good reviews, the Soulslike game mechanism and the huge open world game are cleverly combined, and a lot of interesting game mechanisms and content are brought.
However, for a large-scale action role-playing game, the main storyline in Elden Ring is too simple. Players may only need a very short time to easily defeat the main bosses in the game and farm numerous Elden Ring Runes in it. This was once criticized by some high-level players.
But in fact, the focus of Elden Ring is on the optional content hidden behind the main storyline, which can only be found by players who are good at exploration. In addition, Shadow of the Erdtree expansion released by Elden Ring last year also made players discover that the exploration potential of this game is very large, because there are many memorable boss battles and some plot stories.
2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
It’s been 10 years since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released, but it’s still one of the brightest games its developer has ever released, and it ranks as one of the best role-playing games of all time. In this process of monster hunter Geralt looking for his adopted daughter Ciri, there is not only an intriguing main storyline, but also a wealth of optional content.
Especially in the finished version of PS5, all the story missions are designed to deepen the connection between players and the game world and strive to create some unforgettable moments in the game. However, it is worth mentioning that since the release time of this game will be a bit long, some of the design features and gameplay features may be a little different from the currently hottest games.
3. Cyberpunk 2077
Since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the excellent script created by the developers and a series of well-designed, logically rigorous, and interlocking side quests have won the recognition of many players, so the creation of Cyberpunk 2077, a game from the same developer has also attracted many fans.
In the dystopian future world provided by Cyberpunk 2077 for players, Night City is full of all kinds of weirdos, who will provide you with some very strange interaction problems, so that you can build a game world full of unforgettable optional content, and some of them will even affect the main storyline and the ending.
The above are the most worthwhile games, with the best optional content in the current game world and their introductions. Of course, each player’s criteria for the best optional content are not exactly the same, so you can also express your favorite game in some player communities or social platforms, and we will continue to follow up. I wish you a happy game!
