NBA 2K21 (PS5)

The haptic feedback when you drive the lane or hit a three-pointer is unreal—it actually makes you feel the impact. The graphics are so sharp you can see the sweat on the players’ jerseys during replays.

Playing on PS5, the load times are nearly instant, which keeps the action flowing without any annoying pauses. The player movement feels noticeably smoother than last gen, and the lighting in the arenas looks incredibly realistic.

The way the game transitions between menus on PS5 feels genuinely next-gen, and the player movement is noticeably smoother than last year. I caught myself just watching replays of dunks for a few minutes.
