Interesting list. Some good and some head scratchers.... Also, next to no indie love.

I've always been a big meh on God of War, but that game was incredible. All I ask for if you're going to make a narrative heavy game is good combat. Gow18 delivered.

Bloodborne is my personal game of gen for ps4.

Edit... I just realized this is from end of April and we may have already discussed. If so I'll close it.

Just comes to show how great the PS4 is, and it's still rocking it, even in 2021.

How come Until Dawn is not even on the list? That was some excellent, creepy stuff.

There's more demand for the PS4 and PS4 Pro than there is for the XSX right now lol.

Lol. I really can't think of one game that came out this year that would really justify an XSX.

I heard that Dreams isn't a game, so why is it on this list?

I've been having bloodborne installed on my PS4 for years now promising myself that I'd finish it but the game.... Well... It's too damned ugly and runs like crap. It looks like a frickin Gameboy Advanced game.

I'm hoping for either a next gen sequel or a remake before I dive back into it.

  3. Marvel's Spider-Man PS4
  4. God of War 4
  5. Resogun
  6. Persona 5
  7. Uncharted: Legacy
  8. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
  9. Infamous: Second Son
  10. TLOU2
  11. The Order: 1886
  12. Knack 2
  13. Final Fantasy 7 Remake
  14. Gravity Rush Remastered
  15. God of War 3 Remastered
  16. The Last Guardian
  17. Ghost of Tsushima
  18. Driveclub

@davillain-: Resogun was so good.... I want it on my switch. Never happen, but I'd play it all day. Used to play it on vita!

A questionable list if taken as fact instead of opinion. As this is obviously opinion based, the list slides. My top 5 of last gen...

  • Uncharted 4
  • Uncharted LL
  • Ghost of Tsushima
  • For Honor
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider

PS4 had more than a few good games?

Could have fooled me. I can count maybe 6 that I'd say are worth playing.

Last-gen consoles were boring af.

@TheEroica: I just beat it (Returnal) today. 46 hours and 83 deaths lol. It's an all time classic for me. Like Bloodborne was last gen.

I tried Alienation briefly. It seemed cool but I didn't stick with it. Same with their other games. Super Stardust Delta for Vita was cool back in the day. You ever play that?

Pretty solid list of games there. I have most of them. Some I’ve already played and some I have yet to play. There’s really only like three that don’t interest me there.

Tales of Berseria was my favourite PS4 game, followed by Persona 5.

This looks more like a multiplatform list, honestly.

In any case, I haven't touched my PS4 in a while, and the best game I played on it was Persona 5 Royal lol

Just finished the R&C remake this afternoon. Belongs in the list, but it's also a step down from the original on some ways - which is a pretty big sin in a remake IMO. Most notably, the final battle was painful. The 30fps game (half the OG) chugs to something slower and kept switching my weapons on me randomly to shit that wasn't even in my quick wheel. Almost threw the controller out the window. Worst part is the rest of the game is on the easier side, so the experience is waaay out of sync. It's a great example of boss battles at their worst.

Still, good game on a good system

Are you saying the game needs an FPS boost?😎

Not sure how you put lost legacy over UC:4.

And Apex, Edith Finch and Overwatch don't belong.

I played it recently and was surprised how decent it was. I'm not sure if the cringy acting from certain characters was on purpose though.

I agree for the most part, but Ghost of Tsushima should be number two and TLOU2 should be 3.

It would be interesting to see how many first party titles would make the cut for an Xbone list.

Their top 3 matches mine.

It's not a terrible list overall , but they should kick GTA V to the curb and put something like Sekiro in its place.

@NathanDrakeSwag: IGN updates the best game ranking for every console 1-2 times a year so there is an xbox and nintendo ver obviously. Waiting for the thread ~

Spoiler: GTA is number 1

That's because those certain characters were scared shitless. LOL.

I always hate lists like these even when I try to remind myself that it's just another persons opinion. There are perhaps 1 or 2 games I would consider for a top 25 on that list.

@WitIsWisdom: that's the fun of it! It's totally non threatening to your own list... Its just a reflection of of someone else's thoughts. If we all agreed on the same "best" games system wars would be called system fluffy rainbows or something.

Dark Souls 3 is the biggest omission there

Not the most beloved in the series but definitely in the top 25 above things like Overwatch and Apex... ugh

Yeah, I get that man. The problem with the lists for me is that a lot of people look at these lists as a source of what they should play. It's not as if a list I would make would be any better on a per person basis, but I feel that a lot of great games get overlooked because of these media darling games that always get thrown around.

A couple of those I would move up in the list but overall, pretty good. I agree with the top 2.
