This is a much more low-key, slow-burning sort of fear than the last couple of game's action blowouts, focusing on a more slasher movie-style pursuit through a large, crumbling house. But, despite the overhaul, things like inventory management, puzzles, weapons, and items still feel unmissably Resi. It's a great Resident Evil game, but more importantly, a great horror game in its own right.
Nier: Automata may not be the most expansive, content-filled, or open-ended RPG in the world or even on this list , but it's definitely the best game to star an android dressed in gothic Lolita fashion while waxing philosophical about the nature of humanity, morality, and free will. Combat is fast, fluid, and satisfying, while a unique and award-winning soundtrack ranges from exciting to melancholy to mystical to inspiring.
This is the type of game where you take side quests from a robot that models itself after early 20th century French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre before flying off in your power armor to battle a giant kaiju machine with lasers and foot long katanas.
It's weird, wild, and not to be missed. The true successes of Uncharted 4 lie in the details. Oh, sure, you have the big action set-pieces that the series is known for, where everything hero Nathan Drake touches falls apart around him in Michael Bay levels of destruction. And the attention to detail in those moments - how wood splinters into pieces under gunfire, or how Nathan's clothing gets caked in mud during a high-octane car chase - certainly makes it shine as a bit of impressive tech to show off to your friends.
But it's how Uncharted nails the small moments that makes it truly great. For the first time in the series, Naughty Dog has given the series' characters some room to grow as actual people, filling in the details where you least expect them to, and these smaller moments make the big ones feel all that more impactful. As explosive as Uncharted 4 is, it's also deeply personal - and it's a hell of a showpiece for your PS4, to boot.
Ghost of Tsushima takes an Assassin's Creed-style Japan, with a Red Dead Redemption 2-sized world, and blends in an entire library's worth of Akira Kurosawa movies to create the perfect swan song for the PS4. It manages to give you a new love of feudal Japan, and with a world so full of things to do, every moment you spend in its world is a treat.
This is a worthy swan song for the PS4, and a tribute to the Japanese culture it so clearly reveres. Sure, by now you've probably heard all the hype, and it might have even put you off slightly in that weird hipster way that hype always manages, but What Remains of Edith Finch is one of those beautiful reminders that games can make you feel everything.
Exploring her family home, the titular Edith Finch gradually uncovers the stories of the Finch's through the ages, each one opening up a new experience and story.
From exploring a Halloween horror adventure in a graphic novel to simply flying a kite, every chapter is a new surprise. To give away any more is to spoil the magic of this walking sim but yes, it will break your heart and make you cry, but only in the best possible way.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a beautiful experience that never feels emotionally manipulative, only ever incredibly human, and a poignant reflection on the stories that make us who we are. Even if we didn't always know it. Also: an unhealthy dose of first-person cat-stomping. Quite simply, it represents the definitive edition of the greatest open-world game ever made, which hold up well in Fortnite is the most fun you can have on PS4 for free - and I do mean totally free, because you don't even need a PS Plus subscription to play online.
Fortnite's Battle Royale mode has taken the world by storm, enchanting players with intense shootouts and towering build battles as they compete to be the last of standing. Regular developer updates add new weapons, modes, and thoughtful tweaks to baseline mechanics every week, keeping the game fresh even if you already have a few dozen wins under your belt. And don't forget about Save the World mode if you're in the mood for something more cooperative, though you will have to pay to play that one for now.
What really impresses are the genuinely entertaining missions, and the eclectic cast of characters that bring the world to life. Essential in every way. While retaining that distinct storytelling and sense of wonder that defines the Metal Gear series, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain offers a level of freedom and creativity unheard of in any sandbox.
Grand, majestic and bittersweet, this is an instant classic and one of the finest things you can shove into your PS4. Swinging straight into the top four sorry, yes, that's the most played-out pun ever Spider-Man PS4 is one of the most fun, immediately joyful games you'll ever pop into your PlayStation. It looks incredible, sure, and the game itself is massive, but what impresses most is the feel of swinging around New York as the web-slinger himself.
There's plenty to do, and the variety of non-story stuff is impressive, but the real beauty lies in the slick, free, and utterly wonderful swinging. The fact that the story has all the heart and humor of Spidey's latest Marvel outings only enhances an already brilliant super-hero game. This system has the most variety on the market outside of, maybe, Steam, but the main benefit of going with a console over a PC is less time tinkering with settings and more time gaming.
Some of the best experiences are for mature audiences, but there is also a huge list of games that are family-friendly or great introductions for inexperienced players. Usually, I pick up a PlayStation with the sole intent to play the latest Final Fantasy game, but I quickly discovered a world of franchises and blockbuster releases that will always have a place on my shelf. There are so many games to recommend that narrowing down this list was a challenge, but I am confident that these 10 titles and the franchises they represent are some of the best PlayStation 4 has to offer.
These classics, niche hits, and excellent remakes, recommended by our expert, are some of the best PS4 games available right now—even for PlayStation 5 owners. Shocking, I know!

Picking up a Nintendo Switch this December? These are the games you should buy. Now, before you go 'wait those are two completely different genre of games' after reading the title, yes, I am aware that I am comparing an MMO to a Souls-like game. Win at adulting with these games, which are perfect for a night in or to bust out at a party.
The video games industry continues to see growing demand since the pandemic began last year. New York City's game development scene is steadily growing, especially in the indie sector.

How many demos have you repeatedly played for games that you never purchased? Fun group games for kids and adults are a great way to bring.

That being said, if all you want to do is live out your Mad Max fantasises, it will tide you over for a short while without separating you from your wallet.
While it was a little rough at launch, the developers have been listening to fan feedback from the start to the point where Let It Die is now just a great game, free-to-play status or not. The story is bonkers with just about the only scrap of info about it I have retained being that you meet Uncle Death and have to grind your way to the top of a tower.
Trove is not Minecraft. Trovecraft is no—ah, hell. If you have kids who have been misbehaving, take away their Minecraft and make them play Trove instead. Star Trek Online, while incredibly rough in its early days, is one of the best free PS4 games and and also one of the best ways to approach the Final Frontier. Few first-time developers could hope for the success that Dauntless received at launch. That experience truly shines through.
Loot is, of course, the aim of the game here, and it feels almost overwhelming in terms of scope. Single Player. For the grand sum of nothing at all, you can download the intro to the game, which gives you an eminently replayable level to mess around in until you eventually get hailed as a Silent Assassin.
Failing that, you can always try to make a penis shape out of dead bodies, which is what video games were quite clearly created for in the first place. The other episodes of Hitman are periodically up for free for a limited time, too, so keep your eyes out.
