I think the haptic feedback of the PS5 DualSense when it’s well implemented adds to the experience. Returnal is a good a example. Also the Astro game that comes bundled with the console.

No game has made we want to smash my controller more than Returnal. I played it for about a week before I finally gave up. I think it’s the only game since 1980 that I’ve ever quit out of frustration.

  Bummer, I got the platinum. I enjoy games that give me a good challenge.

    Lots of people like it so you may too. It’s one of those games where dying takes you way, way back. When the game is well balanced, I don’t mind, but this one is pretty easy as you go along and then the boss is so much more difficult than anything before. So you die and start over and do it again and again. But because the initial part of the game is pretty easy, you don’t really get much better in the lead up to the first boss. Normally developers include accessibility controls to make the game enjoyable for everybody, but the Returnal developers didn’t. They want you to play their way, or not at all. I ended up choosing the latter. They got my money though, so I suppose in the end, they won.

Guess what, both PS5 and Switch's haptics are from Immersion.

  from the article: While Valve’s hardware uses a different form of rumble than the ones that Sony and co. got sued for back in the day — linear resonant actuators (LRA), rather than an eccentrically swinging weight on a shaft — that didn’t stop Nintendo from signing an agreement with Immersion to bring its technology to the Switch, which uses LRAs as well. So does Sony’s DualSense, for that matter. immersion didn't invent LRAs. their claim is that the use of LRAs vs swinging weights is irrelevant; that any vibration haptics via any means would constitute a patent infringement.

Okay, but if Valve would've chosen to leave rumble out, it wouldn't matter at all. Maybe for journos, who tend to compare things like they are eggs...
