7 Best PS5 Games With Character Creation, Ranked

Since the PS5 was released a few years ago, many titles have taken advantage of the great hardware capabilities it has and the outstanding game mechanics that the DualSense controller allows for. This platform shares many AAA games with other consoles, with some of them being meant for everyone, and others focused more towards an adult audience.

In any case, it’s hard to deny that the PS5 is an all-around great single-player and multiplayer console for both Sony fans and those transitioning from other platforms. Here are some of the best PS5 games with character creation features that players can take advantage of to make their experience more complete.

Hogwarts Legacy

Creating The Perfect Witch Or Wizard

• Great story and side quests
• New teachers and tons of magical beasts

While the Harry Potter franchise has presented players with some outstanding titles in its gaming universe over the years, many players agree that Hogwarts Legacy is arguably the best one to have been released in the last 10 years. Not only does this game offer players a great story, interesting keeper trials, and many other features that will keep them busy, but it also allows for a peek into what the wizarding world looked like in the 19th century.

This, along with the complex character creation features available, makes Hogwarts Legacy an outstanding title for those who wish to play their favorite game with a customizable player character.

Final Fantasy 14 presents players with a good story that is perfectly complemented by the game mechanics available, the tragic characters in it, and the character creation features present. While it might not have the most complex character creation options, what is offered should be more than enough for most players.

Diablo 4

Besides Having A Wide Range Of Classes To Choose From, Players Can Also Create Their Character

• The series retains its class system while improving upon it
• New elements that keep what makes the series’ predecessors great, while building on it

While some franchises are known for releasing several installments over short periods, others, like Diablo, do quite the opposite. To put this into perspective, players had to wait 11 years between Diablo 3 and Diablo 4, which is not easy, especially when the fandom is so extensive.

Luckily, the wait was worth it, as Diablo 4 offers a ton of new options, a great class system that the series has become known for, and a character creation window that allows for multiple options. This way, players have a lot of freedom regarding how they want to play the game, adding a layer of complexity to the experience.

Cyberpunk 2077

The Character Creator Allows Players To Customize Even The Smallest Detail

• Great character creation features
• The 2.2 update added new customization options for V and various cars in Night City

Cyberpunk 2077 has got to have one of the greatest comeback stories in the entire history of gaming. When it was first released, a few performance issues affected its reputation and that of developer CD Projekt RED. However, these days most of the bugs and game-breaking problems have been fixed and the title now receives critical acclaim.

Cyberpunk 2077‘s character creation features were already great from the get-go. However, several updates have built on them, allowing for many more possibilities for players to customize V in any way they want. Players must remember that every decision V makes matters, so if they want to get a certain ending, they’ll have to think before doing or saying the wrong thing.

Monster Hunter Rise

There’s Nothing Like Hunting Monsters With A Custom-made Character

• Interesting plot
• Players can create many builds

The Monster Hunter franchise has become very popular over the last few years and developed a dedicated fandom that seems to grow with every passing day. This makes a lot of sense, as every title in the franchise offers amazing combat mechanics, exciting situations, and likable characters that add complexity to the plot.

On top of this, players can create several different builds, some of which are outstandingly overpowered and should be used carefully to avoid making the game feel too easy. Monster Hunter Rise features great character creation options that allow players to customize their experience and have a ton of fun doing so.

2

Elden Ring

The Game’s Character Creation Features Are Not Very Extensive, But They Work

• FromSoftware’s first open-world title
• Few character creation options, but they all serve a purpose

While the Dark Souls franchise was already very popular by the time Elden Ring came out, it could be argued that the latter allowed FromSoftware to attract several new players and present longtime fans with a previously unknown open-world experience.

Granted, the character creation features in this title are not nearly as complex as those available in other games on the list. However, they still work for the purpose that they were designed for and give players a chance to select a few physical features of the Tarnished they’ll be controlling.

Baldur’s Gate 3

Intricate Character Creation Options To Customize The Gaming Experience

• 2023 Game of the Year Award winner
• Various options for character and build creation

Lastly, there’s Baldur’s Gate 3, a title that not only won Game of the Year in 2023, but also continued a franchise that many consider was falling into oblivion. Aside from the masterfully crafted characters, the outstanding selection of melee weapons, the excellent voice acting, and the interesting story that this game presents to players, there’s also a very complete and complex character creation window.

By being able to make their player character look like them, players can feel more immersed and invested in the story, making the overall experience much more pleasant. Regardless of whether players choose a Melee-based build with close-quarter combat or a long-distance approach for their characters, Baldur’s Gate 3 always has something to offer.
