What are the 3 games? Returnal should be on that list, amazing game and uses unique PS5 controller features. If you haven’t played The Last Of Us then I would say that is a must even though that was a PS4 title but is a PS exclusive. Death Loop is an awesome game as well. might be on PC, I dunno since I only game on PS.

To me there is a huge jump in graphics quality from PS4 to PS5. It will take time for game devs to get games out that use better graphics, etc. and the PS6 is likely a half decade away or longer, these things never are early.

I used to game on PC but got sick of upgrades costing more than a console, having to tweak settings, deal with Windows, etc. when I just want to jump into a game.

God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West, and Returnal are the 3 PS5 exclusive games I would immediately want to buy if I had the console (yes I am aware they are mentioned in other comments as well, I legitimately did a google search first and those stood out for me vs the rest). Have used the same gaming laptop for 2 years or so now and works great for my needs, the only incompatibility I ran into was a warning message about my graphics card or drivers before playing Ghostwire: Tokyo, but it still ended up being one of the most stunning games I've played for PC and noticed 0 bugs.
Of those 3 games you mentioned, only 1 is exclusive to the PS5. The rest are also available on the 9 year old PS4.

edit: had the wrong amount (the only PS5 game is Returnal)

I stand corrected, which means I have basically absolutely no reason to buy a PS5 right now.
Deathloop is on XBox Game Pass so definitely not an exclusive...
It was available on PC and “console exclusive” to PS5 for a year I think, but it’s already on Xbox.
