Am I the only one who find the PS5 search more of a hindrance than helpfull?
My previous post got deleted, rightfully, so here i am trying again.
I've have long thought of how the PS5's own search/browse actually works, and the gap is bigger than I expected for a platform this size.
Some things that stand out:
\- No way to combine filters. Genre, ESRB rating, and player count, for instance. You get curated rows (Featured, New Releases) or a single flat genre browse, not a real filtered query.
\- Search is unforgiving of small formatting differences: punctuation, colons, alternate spacing. A slightly "off" search can return way fewer results than it should.
\- There's no way to sort or filter by score at all, and no separation between critic and community sentiment in the UI. You either already know a game's reputation or you don't.
\- Discovery outside Sony's own editorial picks is close to nonexistent. There's no "show me co-op games under $30 rated T or lower" type of query, even though the underlying catalog metadata to support that clearly exists somewhere.
Curious whether this bugs other people as much as it bugs me, and what specific gap annoys you most? Feels like a real limitation, and I wonder if anyone actually find the way the PS5 presents games as usefull?
