It's been a few years since the PlayStation 5 came out and quickly became popular among the masses. The SSD, fast-loading times, higher framerate, and crystal clear 4k resolution are a few reasons why the console has sold like hot cakes and is never available on the shelves to purchase.
There's no secret that everyone with a console always looks for great games to play. Thankfully, PlayStation 5 has many games on it from various genres. One such genre is comedy science-fiction which has recently become extremely popular among the masses. Hence, let us look at the best comedy sci-fi games on Sony PlayStation 5 and why they're so good.

In the last five years, two Marvel superhero games have shocked the world. First, there's Marvel's Spider-Man, and then Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy.
