I’m not sure what you played before and what you may be into but the usual suggestion for people who start out from PS4 and onwards is God Of War. I believe it has been patched for PS5 as well so it should make your experience smoother.
Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales are good starts. Stories aren’t terribly long and there’s a lot of stuff to do outside of the story, side quests, collectibles or just swing around New York, I played on PS4 but they’re both on PS5 also.
If you plan of playing them, play normal Spider Man before Miles Morales.
*Spiderman
*God of war
*Returnal
*The last of us - but wait for the ps5 version to drop they rebuilt it from the ground up so you get full benefit of the duelshock 5
Yeah, a tv would definitely do the job, I don’t think there’s any particular benefit to your son to having a gaming monitor instead. If affordable, just make sure the telly is 4k etc to get the most out of the PS5. Not bought a telly in god knows how long, I’d imagine 4k is probably standard these days anyway if youre buying new.
4K gaming monitors are big money, but it seems TVs are much cheaper.
Seems strange to me but Id like the 4k option there, no point in having the brand new console if you dont have a top screen to play it on
