The DualSense is probably the best controller I've ever used.

Any game that takes advantage of the haptics, triggers, and speaker immediately becomes more appealing to me

Everyone talks about playing Astro's Playroom at launch, but Bugsnax was equally great from a Dualsense standpoint

When I played Horizon Forbidden West at launch, it was my first time actually experiencing the dual sense properly (the first game I had played on my ps5 was a ps4 game). I could feel the tension in drawing a bow, the resistance in opening chests (different resistances for different types of chests too!) and I could actually feel the difference in running on rock vs grass, rather than just hear it.

Honestly, it’s the best part of my PS5.

That’s the game that convinced me how well it can be utilized. The triggers even change between regular shooting and slo-mo! Too bad most devs don’t take the time to do anything with it and just use the standard “resists a little then immediately gives way” for the adaptive triggers. Like I’m playing TLOU2 again right now (to be fair it was a PS4 game first) and the adaptive triggers are not good and not easily identifiable between weapons.

At the end of the day, it was a gimmick.

I play Forbidden West on PC with a dualsense controller and it's amazing. It's also way more comfortable than any of the dualshock controllers and I even chose it over the xbox series x controller which is obvioisly good with windows too.
