When thePS5launched in 2020, I assumed I would never have to worry about hard drive space again.

The original model had 825 GB, a big improvement over myPS4 Slims measly 500 GB.

I probably wouldn’t have anything to worry about, right?

Where Has All My PS5 Space Gone?

But, man, current-gen games are huge.

One of those games isBraid, Anniversary Edition a smaller indie that only takes up 2.67 gigs.

Left: a character in Baldur’s Gate 3 preparing to fight. Right: two characters kissing.

And Red Dead Redemption 2 is the smallest though small is a relative term here at 116.3.

The answer is simple.

Its, hands down, one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played.

Triple-A Games

Its an undeniable gem.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is not getting smoke from me because I’m not the one playing it.

My wife is, and she’s entitled to her space on the hard drive.

Baldur’s Gate 3

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth isn’t like this.

It’s a long game, but it’smanageablylong.

That’s part of why it’s so great.

Baldur’s Gate

It’s also part of why I’m finding it unfinishable.

Its a rat king of a game, and I am its loyal, but terrified subject.
