Today, we have for you several fantastic alternatives available for PlayStation. So without further ado, please enjoy our picks for the 5 Best PlayStation Alternatives to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

5. Immortals: Fenyx Rising

With the success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and its sequel, many PlayStation fans have wanted to get in on the action. However, there is a hidden gem in the PlayStation library of games waiting to be discovered. Immortals: Fenyx Rising is much like the modern Zelda games in its design. As well as its overall presentation in some ways. This can be seen in the gameplay, as well as the general structure of the game and how it encourages player freedom throughout its runtime.

For players who enjoy puzzle-solving, this game has you covered. Howe about large boss fights? Well, this game has that too. Surely there is plenty to love about this game. However, it did get a tad bit overshadowed upon its release. Through the power of hindsight, however, players have come to appreciate this game much more than just being a Zelda clone. The environmental design is also beautiful and makes for a world you can get lost in. For these reasons, this game is one of the best PlayStation alternatives to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Next up, we have a title that hardly needs an introduction. With the massive success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, players are no doubt familiar with it. This is a game that features a sprawling open world full of characters to meet. This makes it a lot like many Zelda titles, as players can get lost for hours in the plethora of side content available for the game. In fact, some of the side content in the game has gone on to become its own game in its own right. This simply just speaks to the breadth of the game world and its impact overall.

First, the hero's journey that players go on as Geralt is definitely one of the most memorable in recent memory. Secondly, the game has received updates that make it more appealing to the modern player as well. And lastly, the great adventure that this game offers players is truly something special. No matter which road you take, there is always more to discover within the game. And it is for these reasons that we consider The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt one of the best PlayStation alternatives to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

3. Genshin Impact

For our next entry, we have a game that has gone on to grip an amazing amount of players. Genshin Impact, both through its stellar gameplay and storytelling, has gone on to be one of the largest games in recent memory. It has done this through its commitment to its world and characters. All of which have gone on to take on lives of their own and become immensely popular. This is great, as it shows the love that the developers have poured into the game has paid off.

Upon its initial release, it garnered many comparisons to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, as anyone who has actually played the game for any reasonable amount of time will tell you, this statement isn't true outside of them both being open-world games. No, what Genshin Impact offers is something special. And it has certainly shirked its critics, who claimed it to be a paltry copy. For its wonderful world and characters, as well as stellar gameplay, we consider Genshin Impact one of the best PlayStation alternatives to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

2. Horizon: Forbidden West

Next up, we have a game that was a highly-anticipated sequel to a phenomenal game. Horizon: Forbidden West had large shoes to fill upon its release. With the success of its predecessor, this game would have to stun players to maintain their interest. And for the most part, the game succeeded in doing this. Horizon Forbidden West takes familiar gameplay elements from the previous game and improves upon them. This can be seen in everything from the combat animations to additional minute things such as how the world map is laid out and much more.

Players will once again be on their journey with Aloy in order to find out more about the world. Along the way, players will be faced with more fearsome foes than in the previous game. The game itself seems to be quite a bit harder than the first outing. This is great, as it allows the player to challenge themselves in entirely new ways. New machines, which in turn, need their own methods of dealing with them, also do a great job at varying gameplay. So to close, if you are looking for a fantastic PlayStation alternative to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, check this one out.

1. Kena: Bridge of Spirits

Now for our final entry on our list of the best PlayStation alternatives to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, we have Kena: Bridge of Spirits. This is a game that, not only through its unique art style but its fantastic gameplay, shines. This is great, and players can quickly find themselves falling in love with the game's main characters as well as its world. Players can collect items and learn more about the world. This allows the gameplay to encourage the game's storytelling organically.

This is wonderful, as it doesn't hold the player's hand too much and allows the story to unfold organically. For players who want a bit more challenge, as well, the game features a New Game Plus mode. This allows players to play through the game again with endgame weapons, gear, and knowledge. This does a phenomenal job of extending the experience to match the player's interest. So if you haven't already given this game a try, make sure to do so.
