25. NieR: Automata

Nier: Automata offers a ridiculously entertaining journey full of weird, beautiful and equivalent great ideas. Few games like Automata confidently switch between game genres and styles. Set in a futuristic dystopia, this "action RPG" explores every corner of this enchanting world on a roller coaster of different play styles, wrapped in fascinating stories of different endings. I invite you to. Nier: Few games try to do what Automata is doing, and this adventure by Yoko Taro is definitely worth checking out.

24. The world of Monster Hunter

The long-standing Monster Hunter series broke through in the 2018 hit Monster Hunter World. This impressed me not only with the rewarding gameplay, but also with the ease of access to the game. Monster Hunter World has created a vast, fully realized world for a series that requires some learning to get the hang of it.

23. Apex Legends

With the rise of the battle royale genre, Apex Legends can finally stand out from the rest by joining the battle. Set in the world of Respawn's Titanfall series, Apex uses a similar gameplay mechanism that offers unique advantages over other battle royale games. In addition to the faster pace, Apex includes the use of specific "legends", each with different skills and abilities, creating the need for teams to work together to create synergies between different characters. Similar to Overwatch, the various hero rosters allow players to constantly change their playing style to ensure victory. With constant updates and new limited-time game modes, Apex Legends is a high-octane game that always makes you want to "play just one more game."

22. Yakuza 0

Yakuza 0 sets the standard for SEGA's long-term open world series. It does so many things and revolves around a truly compelling crime story. The first part,

, is extremely accessible to beginners without being disturbed by the increasingly complex backstory of the series. Close-quarters combat is a bit below the norm of the modern genre, but the Yakuza 0 is still a spectacular, bold and harsh tour of the Japanese underworld, with far more hits than missed.

21. Tetris effect

How can you make Tetris even better, one of the best-selling, arguably perfect games? They add a dazzling light show, music that responds to your movements, and one of the happiest Zen gaming experiences of all generations. Even without the PSVR component, Tetris Effect is a transcendental experience that updates video gaming media to loyalty. The

's Journey Mode includes dozens of unforgettable musical stages that blend with moving and placing blocks, with a vast expanse of background literally from sea depth through jungle and desert terrain. I'll take you. .. Stay away from space. It doesn't twist the Tetris formula a lot, but the experience of enhancing it in a powerful and memorable way is almost spiritual.

An incredible creative suite made up of tools that allow for and encourage ultimate expression, all inside of your PS4.

19. FINAL FANTASY 7 Remake

After a long wait, FINAL FANTASY VII's 2020 remake will bring one of the most popular JRPGs to date in a (almost) successful and engaging way. This new view of Midgard is probably not just what you remember-it's much better at a stunning, detailed and immersive exploration of the steampunk city. The first part of the

"Remake" (later releases will cover the rest of the original story) is set entirely in Midgard, so Square Enix can actually spend time with the city cast. An adventure that can be done and can end the screen time with more nuances. And it fuses its outstanding combat system with a more tactical turn-based system in real time to create something that is completely unique and creates the joy of mastering. Part 2 cannot come soon.

18. Overwatch

Overwatch is a great multiplayer shooter full of Blizzard charm and detail, and Blizzard has been impressively supporting with new heroes and updates since its launch in 2016. Overwatch was named Game of the Year by IGN in the year of its launch. IGN has swept IGN's office in multiplayer matches after work and at lunch (possibly during working days) and has been around for months and years since then.

Blizzard's solid gameplay allows players to participate in any role they play in the team. And the striking attention to detail in Blizzard creates a rich folklore world that permeates the experience, and those who want a fun multiplayer experience can enjoy the action, but something more, richer characters. Those who want jump into providing them with location information.

17. Ratchet & Crank

The legendary PlayStation franchise Ratchet and Clank is even better on the PS4 with a beautiful and fun update to the Duo's first adventure. A remix of the original PS2 game rather than a pure remaster, Rombax and Robot Adventures have a very detailed level that brings some notable story improvements. The first encounter and up-and-coming friendship of the duo of only

people feels richer and more intelligent while the characteristic humor of the series is fully demonstrated throughout. Beldin, Little Girl and other worlds are beautiful Pixar-like environments with lots of exploration, and modernization of gameplay keeps adventures fresher than ever. And, of course, Insomniac's signature talent for quirky weapons is on display in HD, from Zurkon to Groovitron. Insomniac has recently clearly focused on VR and Spider-Man, but this latest iteration proves that Ratchet and Clank still have enough life.

16. What Remains of Edith Finch

One of the most heartwrenching and visually dynamic adventure games of the generation, What Remains of Edith Finch is a mustplay. While a game about recounting the death of each of Edith`s family members by exploring their bedrooms (turned memorial shrines) may sound like a bummer, the creative ways each memory gets explored keeps you entertained while the mystery of how this person died creates eerie suspense that will entice you to keep going. Each remembrance transports you to their stories and subsequent deaths, with moments ranging from playing on swingsets to, quite literally, bouncing between comic book panels. Striking, stylish, and hauntingly beautiful, What Remains of Edith Finch is one of the best experiences to be had on PS4.

15. Uncharted 4: The end of the thief

Uncharted 4 is all grown Uncharted. A survey of what happens when Nathan Drake's Indiana Jones-style antique faces his adult obligations. It manages to take into account more than that, juggling ridiculously fun action sequences and the dynamics of ripe stunning scenery and nasty relationships for exploration and looting. Uncharted 4 is a bit depressed because the final act is too long, but it's still one of the greatest action-adventure games of all time and one of the greatest PlayStation 4 games of all time.

14. Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain is arguably the most ambitious entry in the Metal Gear series. Very ambitious and like an unfinished masterpiece. Many hardcore fans of the series are disappointed with the messy story of the game, but it's hard to deny that the momentary gameplay is absolutely astounding. In addition to solid movement and vast, sometimes literal sandboxes for exploration, Phantom Pain offers players a vast array of weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and AI companions to creatively approach missions. As always, stealth tactical gameplay is very rewarding, but if the mission is turned sideways (or feels uncomfortable), the game will severely punish you for being noisy and chaotic. It is not. Even if you've never played other Metal Gear games, this is one hell experience. Don't feel left behind, even if the plot leaves a large question mark overhead. It's part of the fun.

13. Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil fans have been begging for a remake of the popular Resident Evil 2 for over 20 years. Fans were waiting and waiting after the original RE1 received a remake of its amazing GameCube in 2002 ... and waiting. When it finally arrived, it was everything they dreamed of. The Resident Evil 7 RE engine has been redesigned into a third-person tour deforce that introduces a very realistic gusset where blood drips from severed zombies. Mr. X has returned with countless powers. His shooting mechanism was perfect and horror was everywhere. The latest work of the

series "Resident Evil Village" was released in May. IGN gives it 8/10, calling it "a truly compelling and increasingly combative sequel to the story of Ethan Winters." RE Village DLC is currently under development.

12. Ghost of Tsushima

Angel Wars' latest adventures are packed with inspiring stories and memorable visuals that make exploring the vast versions of Japan in the 13th century fun. The cast (English and Japanese) brings to life the complex story of ghost honor and loss, both in the main campaign over 30 hours and in all side quests that eloquently reflect aspects of the main journey theme. I have a good job.

Stealth may be basic (and enemy AI may not be noticeable), but combat is spectacular-the simple yet subtle quest for Japanese swordsmanship is still fun until the final duel. Add all this to one of the best (and most addictive) photo modes you've ever seen. Ghost of Tsushima also makes up for the delay in adding PS4 to the library as one of the best games. The

Ghost of Tsushima has sold over 8 million copies since its release in mid-2020.

11. Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an amazing engineering feat and the gold standard for storytelling video games in an open world environment. It's one of the best games Rockstar Games has ever created and one of the best games ever. The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is a vast and breathtaking recreation of the Wild West, full of details and activities, almost horrifying. It is virtually impossible to go from A to B without leaving the beaten road to another detour. These diversions are also incredibly successful-side quests, mini-games, and hunter-gatherers are all natural parts of Red Dead 2.

But, of course, the most memorable are the Red Dead 2 characters: Arthur Morgan, John Marsten, Sadie, Dutch, etc. Al. Is a vibrant, multifaceted character whose complex dynamics are constantly changing and changing, even when its orbit is set on a stone. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece.

10. Unknown: Lost Legacy

Nathan Drake has established himself as a fascinating protagonist in the course of Uncharted's four core games, but the same applies to Uncharted's 2017 Lost Legacy for Drake's support cast. Proved.

Lost Legacy spotlights an unexpected duo of treasure hunter Chloe Frazer and mercenary Nadine Ross, and discovers that the cast is motivated and compatible without Nate. Lost Legacy not only opens the door to many spin-offs centered around other characters in the Uncharted Universe, but also features some of the best gameplay sequences the series offers. Shaun Escayg of

Naughty Dog recently shared his desire to create a new Uncharted game.

9. Control

An extraordinary third-person shooter with a supernatural twist, Control stands out not only as the 2019 Game of the Year, but also as one of the most unique adventures of its generation. Remedy Entertainment's veteran team has put years of experience into one of the coolest abilities / weapon sets in recent memory, delivering the most satisfying and enthusiastic psychokinetic combat ever pixelated. Did. In addition to its excellent super-powerful gunplay, the controls feature some seriously inspired environmental design. Its oldest house transforms a maze straight from the heat dreams shared by Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch. Perform memorable side quests, look for abilities and equipment upgrades, and look for collectibles in a monster-filled hall. All of these are experiences that help flesh out the sinister bureaucracy at the incredibly unique center of control. Two enhancements to the

8. Marvel Spider-Man

Marvel's Spider-Man is a masterpiece of comic joy, a kid-like wonder overlooking New York City's towering inspirational skyline and a clever celebration of the superheroic victory of effortlessly scaling Big Apple's tallest building. It is a world built in. Realization. A game about Spider-Man made by people who love Spider-Man deeply, truly, and truly, from costumes to friends, enemies, and family.

The simple act of soaring and swirling around the city is satisfying and addictive, so you'll want to explore every corner and get all the collectibles before you finish the story. As you calm down and decide to move the story forward, you'll find a heartwarming story of love and loss, awkward youth, and kicking tons of ass. Along the way, we unlocked the iconic Spider-Man suit, defeated the villains with a huge explosive set piece, and realized that the renaissance of the modern cartoon movie, which we all enjoy so happy, has finally found its way. Immerse yourself in the video game. The

sequel Marvel Spider-Man 2 will be available on PS5 in 2023. Venom's voice candyman Tony Todd said the sequel was "massive," and Insomniac's Bill Roseman said it was "darker" than the studio's previous two spydy games. rice field.

7. Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the maximum stunning open-global video games ever crafted. Grass sways withinside the wind under blooming sunrises at the same time as towering towns shaped from the ashes of a as soon as rich society loom withinside the distance. And, maximum importantly, giant, awe-inspiring mechanical dinosaurs equipped with a terrifying array of pseudo-herbal weaponry roam the land, roaring, gnashing, and trampling their prey. When iconic PlayStation developer Guerrilla Games discovered they have been pivoting farfar from the Killzone franchise to make an open global robotic dinosaur looking sport starring a warrior redhead equipped like a area cake supplier at Burning Man, the sector changed into carefully optimistic.

The cease result, thankfully, changed into a vast, wondrous, and precise open-global movement sport with simply the proper quantity of RPG factors that come collectively to create a exceptional first access into what we are hoping turns into a pillar franchise for PlayStation Studios. Taking down a colossal boss with an energetic method of well-positioned melee moves and projectiles is one of the maximum exciting stories on PlayStation 4, and looting the shrapnel of a downed robotic for plenty-wanted improve components afterwards is similarly satisfying. Horizon takes a number of the first-class factors of present open global video games and weaves them collectively to make some thing thoroughly original, splendidly fresh and wildly fun.

A sequel is coming to PS5 and PS4 on February 18. Check out our first Horizon Forbidden West preview for plenty more.

6. Grand Theft Auto 5 / GTA Online

Rockstar's latest and greatest open-world crime simulator debuted at the end of the last generation of consoles and easily broke the record as the best-selling entertainment product in history, so it's amazing that it was ported to the current generation. It's not that. What may surprise you is how many upgrades it got in the process. Upgraded textures, fully overhauled lighting effects, and fully functional first-person options were just a few of the many updates and optimizations to the biggest and best games in the series so far.

A vast single-player campaign that mercilessly distorts 21st century American life, or a multiplayer component with years of major free updates and a very active community, or just you're alone or a crime.

5. Persona 5 Royal

A huge and beautiful JRPG, Persona 5 sets a high standard for this genre, and the Persona 5 Royal, re-released in 2020, raises that standard even further. An immersive adventure full of style and flair, Persona 5 navigates school life during the day and falls into the corrupt minds of the more malicious citizens of Tokyo at night, diverting them from their corrupt efforts. Probably. Students who make up the

Persona 5 ensemble cast leave an indelible impression when introduced and become more involved in the abuse of Phantom Sheaves. Persona 5 balances two aspects of gameplay by truly immersing players in real-world social connections and influencing dungeon exploration and its huge and diverse mind palace turn-based actions. I'm doing a great job. Coupled with an continuously compelling combat system, catchy soundtrack, its twisted wild story, and lots of additional content in addition to the base game, Persona 5 Royal is the most, if not ever, generation. Provides one of the deep JRPGs. The

P5 spin-off, Persona 5 Strikers, is available as one of the free PS Plus games for January.

4. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

CD Projekt Red's vast fantasy epic has become one of the most notable games to date, setting new standards for open-world RPGs. In a dingy, beautiful world that spans most of the entire continent, there's something to explore in every corner of The Witcher 3, caves, swamps, or city streets. The

's more than 60-hour main story is an epic adventure of mystery and conspiracy drawn from the deep folklore of the writer Andrei Sapkovsky's book, but with its cleverly crafted side stories, monster hunts, and quirky adventures. Exceptional, which really makes the Witcher 3 and its two really huge extensions. It's a game where you can easily get lost for hundreds of hours and still can't see everything it has to offer-but all of those times are worth it. The next generation version of The Witcher 3 is planned for the second quarter of 2022.

2. Last of Us Part 2

The 2013 sequel to The Last of Us is the culmination of PS3 and PS4's lifelong Naughty Dog storytelling ambitions. The ambitious and unruly story of Part 2 is delivered on almost every unexpected turn, and the character arc is bitter, dangerous, and devastating. Naughty Dog will do its best to take into account moral ambiguity to you as a player in a way that elicits some of the most powerful public opinion reactions you've ever seen in the game. Ask.

is probably the most mechanically complex Naughty Dog game to date, and its stealth and action systems feel like they need to be scripted, but they're completely dynamic. This may be one of the most controversial games of its generation, but it's also one of the best. An absolute hay maker for games that we still can't stop thinking about.

1. God of War

The 2018 God of War shows a clear level of attention to its world, character, and gameplay design, demonstrating a long-standing PlayStation franchise as a testament to the power of game storytelling. 4 games, period. Every aspect of God of War is intentional, connecting with all other important aspects of the game and providing an opportunity worth exploring every corner of the world. From the main story to the side missions to the seemingly harmless collectibles, everything helps to understand the world inspired by this new Earth god and its protagonist. But for some reason, this never feels like a dry historical lesson, and God of War always uses storytelling wisely and modestly. This is also a lot of fun as the new Leviathan Ax is one of the most satisfying in-game weapons we've used since we first got the Blades of Chaos in 2005. An immersive story bundled with intelligent progression, an immersive environment, and God of War is one of the game's most notorious antiheroes, perhaps one of the best experiences of all generations, and a glorious example of PlayStation 4. Provides an insightful quest for. Must be provided.

The Journey of Kratos and Atreus is ranked in the top 25 on the list of the best 100 video games ever. The duo will return to God of War: Ragnarok, which will be released later this year.
