For all PlayStation4 gamers. We dedicate our time to writing this article, in order to highlight “The best PS4 games of all time” in one place. If you’re after the best PS4 games available today, then you’ve come to the right place.
However, whether you’re looking for immersive single-player adventures, chaotic multiplayer matchups, or engaging cooperative experiences, the PS4 has a game with your tastes in mind. Since the launch of the PlayStation 4 console seven years, PS4 has built up a library containing thousands of games. Not just that, Sony has led the way in exclusive titles, so the PS4 is the only way to experience new classics like God of War (2018), Spider-Man and Bloodborne.
While the PS5 is now Sony’s hottest gaminghardware, we don’t think that means the best PS4 games should be pushed aside, abandon or forgotten. Notwithstanding, PS5 stock is still very limited, meaning not every gamer has been able to get their hands on the new PlayStation – so you’ll still want to get the most out of your current PS4. However, for PlayStation users that have been able to upgrade, thanks to the PS5’s reverse compatibility. This means the best PS4 games are going to be playable and relevant for years to come.
So regardless of whether you’re playing on your beloved launch-day PS4, you’ve upgraded to the slightly better PS4 Pro or you’ve managed to nab yourself an elusive PS5, our selection of the best PS4 games is likely to have a title for you.
Don’t miss: How To Easily Fix PlayStation 4 Won’t Turn On Issues

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Assassins-Creed-Valhalla.jpg
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the latest entry in Ubisoft’s long-running action/stealth series, and it’s another solid one. This time, you’ll take control of Eivor: a Viking warrior in medieval England, who must establish a new home for his clan. You’ll explore a variety of warring kingdoms, assassinate key targets, do battle against dangerous Saxons and even participate in Viking rap battles known as “flyting.”
While Assassin’s Creed Valhalla looks and plays wonderfully on the PS4, your copy will also entitle you to a PS5 version, which has better lighting, richer HDR colors, and a smoother frame rate. Your save data will carry over, too, but be warned that transferring achievements can be a little wonky.

Apex Legends

Apex-Legends-1024x683.jpg
Apex-Legends-1024x683.jpg
Apex Legends is another contender vying for the battle royale crown. Developed by Respawn Entertainment and set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends is a squad-based battle royale shooter where teams of three go up against 57 other players to try to gather loot and be the last person (or squad) standing. However, unlike Fortnite and PUBG, Apex Legends sees players take on a class, each represented by a unique character.
Apex Legends is the perfect battle royale game for those who enjoy the genre’s premise but can’t get onboard with Fortnite’s building or PUBG’s competitiveness – and it’s free. Plus, different classes, abilities and limited-time events make for a more dynamic experience overall.

Death Stranding

Death Stranding: Game Review, Plot and Feels
Death Stranding: Game Review, Plot and Feels
Death Stranding is undoubtedly one of the weirder games to come out in 2019. But it’s also one of the best PS4 games, particularly if you enjoy Hideo Kojima’s unique brand of unhinged futurism. In the game, you take control of Sam Bridges, who delivers supplies to survivors in a post-apocalyptic Earth. The titular “Death Stranding” unleashed a race of extradimensional creatures, which raise some extremely existential questions about life, death and the nature of power in the post-apocalypse.
One of the interesting things about Death Stranding is that the gameplay is extremely understated. A lot of is simply traveling from one place to another, and creating infrastructure to make your trips easier. How well your deliveries go will influence how you can build up Sam’s abilities, which can help you carry more items and build your reputation with non-player characters.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Assassins-creed-odyssey-1-1024x576.jpg
Assassins-creed-odyssey-1-1024x576.jpg
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is one of the more recent additions to the epic Assassin’s Creed RPG franchise. Odyssey is set during the Peloponnesian War and sees you stepping into the sandals of either Alexios or Kassandra as they try to uncover the truth about their history while navigating the turbulent world of Ancient Greece as a mercenary.
While Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the most recent addition to the series, we still think Odyssey is the best Assassin’s Creed offering on PS4.
Odyssey is a graphically stunning PS4 game that will take you to the heart of Ancient Greece, easily securing it a place in our collection of the best PlayStation 4 games. Just make sure you have the time to play it because there are over 100 hours of content to enjoy here.

Devil May Cry 5

Devil-may-cry-5-characters-1024x576.jpg
Devil-may-cry-5-characters-1024x576.jpg
Eleven years after Devil May Cry 4 hit shelves, Capcom has finally released a sequel worth waiting for. Devil May Cry 5 is a confident, stylish action game that’s satisfying for long-term fans and welcoming to newcomers. Playing as supernatural warriors Dante, Nero and V, you’ll fight enormous, grotesque foes with a gorgeous combination of gunplay, swordplay and platforming. It can be a difficult game, but once you find your rhythm, combat is its own reward.
The gameplay is particularly satisfying since as you rack up higher combos, the soundtrack will change and become more elaborate to reflect your success. Devil May Cry 5 is a gorgeous, rewarding experience, and well worth a look if you’ve ever had any affinity for the series. And if you’re a newcomer, you can catch up with earlier titles in the Devil May Cry: HD Collection, also on PS4.

Battlefield 1

Battlefield-1-1024x576.jpg
Battlefield-1-1024x576.jpg
Not a Call of Duty fan? Battlefield 1 might be a good alternative. The first-person shooter takes players back in time to World War One and by doing so completely rejuvenates the once stagnating franchise.
Battlefield 1’s historical setting helps it to stand apart from the rest of the modern military shooters on the market, with all new weapons, vehicles, and level designs that feel fresh and capture the chaos and brutality of war.
The game offers a poignant and entertaining single-player campaign that sets a new standard for the first-person shooter. Broken into six sections, each following a different character and front-line location, the campaign never feels dull or repetitive.
The single-player campaign even feeds neatly into Battlefield 1’s multiplayer mode which, while familiar, also benefits from the much-needed breath of life that the change in setting gives.
Graphically impressive, entertaining, and sometimes touching, Battlefield 1 is a return to form for the series.

Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost-of-Tsushima-1024x576.jpg
Ghost-of-Tsushima-1024x576.jpg
The pitch for Ghost of Tsushima makes it sound like an Assassin’s Creed game. It’s an open-world action/stealth game with a story based on real-world history. You take control of Jin Sakai: a samurai who fights against the Mongols during their 13th-century invasion of Japan. Where Ghost of Tsushima distinguishes itself from similar open-world adventures, though, is in its incredible sword-fighting. The combat in the game is simply superlative, with lots of techniques to employ, gadgetsto use and strategies to learn.
Admittedly, the game can drag a bit toward the middle, as it leans hard into familiar sandbox tropes: collecting doodads, solving mild platforming puzzles, riding from place to place on a horse and so forth. But even though the game is broad, it’s still admirably deep, with plenty of ways to customize your character. It’s also got a thoroughly decent story about honor, duty and sacrifice — all fitting themes for a samurai narrative.

Bloodborne

Bloodborne-1024x544.jpg
Bloodborne-1024x544.jpg
From Software’s enigmatic and notoriously challenging Souls titles, all hold critical and fan acclaim, but none are as stylistically interesting as the quasi-Industrial era Bloodborne. It plays like an RPG set indelibly on a hidden difficulty mode with all the helpful text pop-ups removed – which is to say it requires more than a modicum of patience from the player.
But that’s the point: in Bloodborne for the PS4, you get out what you put into it. Victory’s all the more rewarding when you’ve watched your enemy, memorized his attack patterns, struck at the opportune moment and prevailed via the game’s impeccable melee combat.

God of War

God-of-War-1-1024x576.jpg
God-of-War-1-1024x576.jpg
After a five-year hiatus, the God of War series is back, and it’s very different. Kratos, formerly a living ball of rage, is now a family man, trying to balance his deicidal past with his devotion to his adolescent son, Atreus. Leaving Greece behind, Kratos now occupies Scandinavia — and that means, among other things, that there’s a whole new host of mythical beasts to slay. From trolls and ogres to undead horrors and even Norse gods, Kratos’s new enemies put his skills to the test constantly.
While the story questions whether Kratos’ violent past was fully justified, the gameplay is as satisfying and visceral as ever, pitting the demigod against all manner of trolls, sea monsters and dragons. It’s a bold new direction for a beloved series, and easily one of the best PS4 games you can buy.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-1024x576.jpg
Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-1024x576.jpg
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is something of a reset for the bestselling FPS franchise – removing the frills of zombies, jetpacks, double-jumps, and futuristic gadgetry for a grounded take on what military engagement actually looks like in the 21st century. The name is no coincidence, either; 2007’s Modern Warfare was a landmark entry in the Call of Duty series, and Activision is looking to recreate what made the game of the same name so successful.
Modern Warfare is all about the gritty realities of war this time out, with the ‘modern’ of the ‘Modern Warfare’ title referring to the gear, weapons and gadgetry being used today in the Middle East and Russia, rather than the far-flung fantasies of science fiction.
Modern Warfare (2019) isn’t the newest mainline COD game, with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War claiming that title, but we find it a better offering.

Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon-zero-dawn-1280-1024x576.jpg
Horizon-zero-dawn-1280-1024x576.jpg
Horizon Zero Dawn has it all: an interesting open world, a creative story, a relatable protagonist, a variety of challenges and, of course, a whole host of giant robot dinosaurs. You’ll be able to topple these massive beasts, as well as a variety of human enemies, with a bow and arrow and plenty of other melees and ranged weapons.
Set in a post-apocalyptic world that has had time to become lush once again, Horizon Zero Dawn tells the story of Aloy: a pariah from her tribe, who nevertheless becomes a master of the bow and spear. As she explores the dangerous world around her, she learns that she may play a pivotal role in changing it for the better. It’s one of the best PS4 games that’s exclusive to the system, although it’s now available to play on PCas well.

Call of Duty: Warzone

Call-of-Duty-Warzone-1024x576.jpg
Call-of-Duty-Warzone-1024x576.jpg
Call of Duty: Warzone is now a standalone battle royale – and a great one at that. Initially released as an add-on for Modern Warfare (2019), Warzone has taken on a life of its own, giving the likes of Fortnite and PUBG a run for their money.
Warzone’s shooting is satisfying, its map rewarding to explore, and it offers more than enough interesting concepts like the Gulag and Contracts to make each match feel wholly unique, wherever you land.

The Last of Us, Part II

The-Last-of-Us-Part-II-1024x576.jpg
The-Last-of-Us-Part-II-1024x576.jpg
The Last of Us, Part II is an ambitious sequel to a beloved game. As such, it was always going to be divisive — and that’s probably just what the developers intended. In this post-apocalyptic action/adventure game, you take control of Ellie, who embarks on an epic quest for revenge across the remnants of the western United States. Grown-up and elevated from “sidekick” to “protagonist” status, Ellie has to rely on her own skills and decide when (or if) revenge slips past “necessity” and into “obsession.”
The story in The Last of Us 2 has quite a few interesting twists and turns, but the gameplay supports it beautifully. With lots of ways to customize and upgrade Ellie, and a bevy of options for stealth, combat and exploration, The Last of Us 2 makes use of big, creative levels and intelligent enemies of both the human and Infected varieties. With gorgeous graphics and moving voice acting, it’s not hard to see why The Last of Us 2 is one of the best PS4 games you can buy.

Control

Control.jpg
Control sees you stepping into the shoes of Jessie Faden, the newest director of the clandestine Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) – a Government agency that researches, and ultimately aims to control paranormal activity. But Jessie’s new role has a few issues not exactly laid out in the job description, including the uprising of a paranormal force known only as the Hiss.
The affinity with which Remedy has courted multiple difficult genres both in film and in games with Control and still managed to deliver a mind-bending story evocative of True Detective and Twin Peaks is absolutely remarkable.
Check out our full Control review. If you’re hoping to get the option of a free next-gen upgrade with the game, then you’ll need to make sure you buy the Ultimate Edition of the game.

Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal-Kombat-11-1024x576.jpg
Mortal-Kombat-11-1024x576.jpg
Mortal Kombat has had its ups and downs over the years, but Mortal Kombat 11 demonstrates that the series still has plenty of surprises to offer. In addition to a solid story mode and tons of unlockable single-player content, Mortal Kombat 11 offers refined, strategic one-on-one fights. Instead of testing who’s memorized the most super-moves or how quickly players can mash an attack button, this game prioritizes distance, variety and judicious application of limited super-moves.
Of course, Mortal Kombat’s hallmark gore is back in full force, with some extremely over-the-top fatalities, sure to test even the most hardened stomachs. This may be a selling point or a deal breaker, depending on your tolerance, but it’s good to know that the series hasn’t toned itself down over the years. Overall, MK11 is simply an excellent fighting game, with a little something for everyone.

Doom Eternal

Doom-Eternal-1024x576.jpg
Doom-Eternal-1024x576.jpg
Ready to raze some hell? Doom is back and it’s the best it’s ever been. Not only does Doom Eternal boast all the blood-pumping, gore-packed fun we expect from a Doom game, it also adds a bunch of new RPG-like elements we didn’t even know we needed.
If you’re looking for a game that doesn’t focus too much on narrative and instead throws you into ripping and tearing some demons (all while an adrenaline-inducing metal soundtrack plays), then Doom Eternal is one not to be missed.

The Outer Worlds

The-Outer-Worlds-1024x683.jpg
The-Outer-Worlds-1024x683.jpg
For those who pine for the days of Fallout: New Vegas and the Mass Effect trilogy, there’s The Outer Worlds. This first-person RPG casts you as a colonist in the Halcyon solar system, pitted against a handful of powerful corporations that will do absolutely anything to maximize profits, no matter who suffers along the way. With action-packed gameplay, tons of options to resolve quests non-violently, an affable cast of party members and a story that reacts profoundly to the choices you make, The Outer Worlds is one of the best games of its type in years.
One thing that separates The Outer Worlds from similar titles is that your party members aren’t just there to help in battle; you can customize your character to fall back on their abilities, both in and out of combat. Various skills and perks

Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Final-Fantasy-7-Remake-1024x576.jpg
Final-Fantasy-7-Remake-1024x576.jpg
Square Enix had a heavy task on its hand when it set out to remake one of the most beloved JRPGs in history. Final Fantasy 7 Remake could have easily been a trainwreck – thank goodness it wasn’t.
The story has been completely fleshed out, adding so much flavor to what was essentially a tutorial of the original game. New characters, expanded stories and character growth for side characters, it’s all here.
But, more importantly, Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn’t just a respectful recreation of one of our favorite games – it might just be the best Final Fantasy game we’ve seen since Final Fantasy X hit store shelves all the way back in 2001. This game is so good that it should be considered the standard by which modern Final Fantasy games are measured, and for that, it is one of the best PS4 games on the market.

Fortnite Battle Royale

Fortnite_keyart_1505235339110.jpg
Fortnite_keyart_1505235339110.jpg
Fortnite has had a meteoric rise since its release in 2017, and it’s not hard to see why. The free-to-play battle royale PS4 game offers players an energetic and enjoyable online multiplayer experience and throws in some building mechanics to set it aside from its competitors.
Fortnite has become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon, and it’s not hard to see why: it’s fun, fast-paced and everyone seems to be playing it. More importantly, it has a concept that almost anyone can get to grips with: just be the last person standing.
Constant content updates keep Fortnite feeling fresh nearly two years since its launch so it easily gets a place on the best PlayStation 4 games list.

Persona 5

When it comes to RPGs, there simply isn’t anything else out there like Persona 5. From its gorgeous anime cutscenes to its smooth, jazzy soundtrack or even little things like the in-game UI and battle menus, Persona 5 is dripping with style. Unlike a lot of other RPGs stuck in fantasyland, Persona 5 is set in contemporary Japan with all the trappings of modern society, and its story is exquisitely crafted too. And with Persona 5 only available on PS4 and PS3. this game is an exclusive treat that PlayStation owners would be foolish to ignore.
More recently, Atlus released Persona 5 Royal: a slightly updated version of Persona 5 with smoother gameplay and a few additional challenges to tackle. If you’re a newcomer, Persona 5 Royal is arguably the version to get — and if you’re a veteran, you may want to check it out to see what’s changed.

Grand Theft Auto V

Top PS4 Games
Top PS4 Games
Not only is it the best sandbox game on the PlayStation 4 platform, GTA V is also the best golf game, the best tennis sim, the undisputed virtual yoga champ, and one of the best racers… it’s even a pretty serviceable MMO.
We’re used to scaling and scope from Grand Theft Auto, but what Trevor, Franklin, and Michael bring us is a staggeringly well-realized city seen from three entirely different perspectives.
Trevor, the maniacal rampage killer whom we discover to be in all of us when we play a Rockstar game; Franklin, the classic rags-to-riches character with street smarts and the ability to pull off a bandana; and Michael, the troubled criminal with a dysfunctional family and a beer gut to show for his life of violence.

Ratchet & Clank (2016)

Ratchet-Clank-PS4-2016-1280x720-1-1024x576.jpg
Ratchet-Clank-PS4-2016-1280x720-1-1024x576.jpg
Don’t let the abysmal film spoil your enjoyment of the game. Ratchet & Clank (2016) reboots the classic platformer series in style, pitting intergalactic adventurers Ratchet and Clank against the nefarious Chairman Drek and his planet-destroying weapon. No, this game doesn’t continue the excellent, ongoing space opera that the previous Ratchet & Clank games set up, but it’s an excellent place for newcomers to start.
With tight controls, a variety of goofy weaponry and a thoroughly enjoyable story, Ratchet & Clank is a perfect entry point for both kid and adult newcomers to the series. From ray guns to rocket launchers, to weaponized disco balls that make everyone dance, the weapon variety alone is enough to carry the game. Ratchet & Clank is also a Sony exclusive, meaning that it’s one of the best PS4 games that you can’t get elsewhere.

Marvel’s Spider-Man

Marvels-Spider-Man-1024x576.jpg
Marvels-Spider-Man-1024x576.jpg
Swinging its way onto our best PS4 games list, Marvel’s Spider-Man is likely the best comic book-based video game in the entire PS4 library by a country mile (sorry, Batman: Return to Arkham). While Arkham did a great job bringing the brooding caped crusader to life on our home consoles, it failed to provide us any insight about Bruce Wayne’s actual life when he takes off the cowl.
This is different, if only because it shows us two sides of the same hero – the affable Peter Parker and the heroic, self-sacrificing Spider-Man – in the same game. Tie into that the best traversal mechanics since Spider-Man 2 on the PS3, and you have all the markings of a spectacular (and dare we say AMAZING) Spider-Man game. It’s certainly got us excited for Spider-Man Miles Morales on PS5.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Read-Dead-Redemption-2.jpg
Read-Dead-Redemption-2.jpg
It’s been a long time coming, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally available on the PS4. That means dozens — maybe hundreds — of hours spent wrangling horses, gunning down outlaws, chasing bounties and generally exploring the Wild West as bank robber Arthur Morgan. As a member of the deadly Van der Linde gang, Morgan must evade federal agents while carving out his own piece of history during one of the most tumultuous eras in the United States.
There’s a ton to do in Red Dead Redemption 2, from engaging in firefights with outlaws, to exploring the wilderness, to taming horses, to undertaking quests for various townsfolk and settlers. With deep gameplay systems, an ambitious story and a fully-realized setting, Red Dead Redemption 2 demands a lot of time, but offers plenty of satisfaction in return.

Metal Gear Solid 5

Metal-Gear-Solid-5.jpg
Metal-Gear-Solid-5.jpg
Okay, so Hideo Kojima’s last game for Konami – and his last ever Metal Gear game – might be a little tough for the MGS n00b to get to grips with, but it’s still one of the best stealth-action games ever crafted. The open-world shenanigans will satisfy all your behind-enemy-lines / Rambo fantasies and probably confuse you with crazy plot twists and a million characters all with the same gravel-toned voices.

Resident Evil 2

Resident-Evil-2.png
Resident-Evil-2.png
Resident Evil 2 was a well-received game back in 1998, combining survival-horror, exploration, puzzle and combat elements to create an experience greater than the sum of its parts. However, the game was also saddled with difficult controls, punishing difficulty and pixelated graphics. A new remake changes all of that and makes Resident Evil 2 one of the best PS4 games. The Resident Evil 2 remake features tight gunplay, intense scares and plenty of rewarding opportunities to replay one of the games that first made Resident Evil into a favorite series.
For those who haven’t played it, the game stars Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, who must fight their way through an ongoing zombie apocalypse. The story is the stuff of high camp, but the implacable Mr. X, who hounds you throughout the whole game, can be legitimately terrifying.

Monster Hunter: World

Monster-Hunter-World.jpg
Monster-Hunter-World.jpg
Monster Hunter: World is a true breath of fresh air, easily sliding its way into our list of the best PS4 games of all time. Giving players the option to play solo or team up with up to three other friends, this game invites you into a living, breathing game world to hunt down some monsters. For research. And fun.
You’ll face a learning curve with Monster Hunter: World and the dark-souls style of combat has the potential to frustrate, but this is the most accessible Monster Hunter game we’ve seen in years. If you’ve been looking for a chance to break into the series, this is it.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Top PS4 Games
Top PS4 Games
It’s been a long time since we had a great Star Wars game, but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order seems to fit the bill. The game stars Cal Kestis: a Jedi Padawan who managed to survive the murderous Order 66 in Episode III. Cal can topple imperial foes with his lightsaber and an array of Force powers. With tight gameplay and an affable cast of supporting characters, Fallen Order is a throwback to the kind of Star Wars games we used to get: creative, inventive and fun.
Fallen Order is also a treat for fans who are just starting to get invested in Disney’s new Expanded Universe canon since the game fills in gaps between films that future movies, TV shows, books and games can build on. If Star Wars is going to build up a robust library of Apocrypha, games like Fallen Order may well provide a backbone for it.

Rocket League

Rocket-League-1024x683.jpg
Rocket-League-1024x683.jpg
Originally released as part of the PS Plus promotion, Rocket League is now free-to-play on PS4. You can access any part of the game, basically, with cosmetics being paid for. To put it simply, in case you’ve never played it, Rocket League is soccer with cars. You fire your vehicle into a giant ball and try and knock it into the other team’s goal, picking up rocket boosts and firing through the air to make that happen.
With rapid matchmaking, it’s one of the best pick-up-and-play games on PS4 – you never spend too long waiting in menus before you’re back on the pitch. Controlling the vehicles feels amazing, and the accurate ball physics means no match is ever the same. The game now features crossplay, too, in case you know someone enjoying Rocket League on another format who wants to play.

Uncharted 4

Uncharted-4-1024x576.jpg
Uncharted-4-1024x576.jpg
In Nathan Drake’s final adventure, he pursues pirate treasure, evades a ruthless villain, and throws his personal life into chaos — and that’s just the setup. Uncharted 4 is the last, and arguably the best, a game in the Uncharted series, combining a delightful historical mystery with top-notch gunplay and vehicular exploration sections. Not only will you engage in some of the toughest firefights in the series, but you’ll also check out beautiful African vistas, track down hidden artifacts and puzzle out some intricate brainteasers.
If you haven’t already played the first three games, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is also worthwhile. All told, The Uncharted saga comprises some of the best PS4 games you can get exclusively on the system.
If you’re a PS4 owner, it would be criminal not to take this ride. It’s undoubtedly one of the best PS4 games there is.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro-Shadows-Die-Twice.jpg
Sekiro-Shadows-Die-Twice.jpg
FromSoftware’s latest offering is not to be scoffed at. If you thought the Dark Souls series was hard, then Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the extreme mode.
Sekiro is more punishing than any title we’ve seen from FromSoftware before, but actually achieving those rare moments of success is extremely rewarding. Set against a background that balances brutality and beauty, Sekiro is one of this year’s must-have titles – if you have the patience for it.

Shadow of the Colossus

Shadow-of-the-Colossus-1024x576.jpg
Shadow-of-the-Colossus-1024x576.jpg
Shadow of the Colossus is a classic PlayStation title, a game that performed graphical marvels when it was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005. Now it’s been remastered with 4K and HDR support, and this time around the game world is more beautiful than ever while keeping the original’s emotional weight and gameplay. It’s an easy pick for our best PS4 games list.
For those looking for a gaming experience quite unlike any other, Shadow of the Colossus is a must-play.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The-Witcher-3-Wild-Hunt.jpg
The-Witcher-3-Wild-Hunt.jpg
Toss a coin to your Witcher, O valley of plenty! If you’ve been marathoning The Witcher on Netflix, then you owe it to yourself to check out the excellent games as well. While the first two Witcher titles aren’t available on PS4, you can play the biggest and arguably best of the bunch: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. (But seriously, if you have a gaming PC, the first two titles are well worth your time.)
This game takes place many years after Geralt’s adventures in the show. Nilfgaard is waging another war on the Northern Realms, and only Geralt can stop the threat — if he can track down his wayward ward, Ciri, first. With a huge world, tight gameplay and plenty of opportunities to shape the story, The Witcher 3 is one of the very best games of the last decade.

The Last Of Us Remastered

The-Last-Of-Us-Remastered-1024x576.jpg
The-Last-Of-Us-Remastered-1024x576.jpg
Many games have offered us post-apocalyptic visions of the future, but none have been as brutal, as believable, or as touching as Joel and Ellie’s story.
It was near-perfect on PS3, but with the current gen’s increased performance ceiling Naughty Dog found ways to ramp up the visual fidelity to ‘drop the controller and stare’ levels. A radical tonal departure from Uncharted’s jovial treasure-hunting escapades, The Last Of Us Remastered demonstrates the California studio’s ability to strike a darker mood, populating the overgrown ruins of its setting with a cast characterized by murky morals but still getting you to care for them like your own besties.
