The best PS4 games

Taking control of Spidey, you'll swing your way through a vast and interactive New York City, to fight against the criminal underworld and dash their plans to unleash a virus upon the city's population. Marvel teaming up with Insomniac Games really adds to the game's quality, giving the narrative an authentic comic pop, and this Game Of The Year edition pack nabs the player load of in-game extras, too. Another one to get into ahead of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, coming later this year to the PS5.

In Ghost Of Tsushima, you take control of Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior, as he attempts to disrupt and repel the invading Mongol Empire in the year 1274. The game is excellent. Comprising action, stealth, rewarding swordplay, a stunning open-world map, and a wholly absorbing cinematic narrative, Ghost Of Tsushima is a masterpiece. It's a noble game that deserves to be considered amongst the best, and amongst those worthy of signing off the PS4 generation.

The Plague Tale: Innocence is a game that explores the French Inquisition and English invasion of France with a tale of horror, humility and tension. It's got immersive storytelling and an atmospheric art style which will please anyone looking for a serious and thought-provoking game.

Aloy is an outcast hunter in the 31st century, trekking the lands where mechanical beasts dominate and where relics from a time before litter the landscape. Taking control of Aloy as she seeks truth, you will venture out across the mech-ruled plains to meet tribes, such as the Nora, Carja, and Oseram. This action RPG allows the player significant gameplay flexibility, and the luscious and varied open world map is ripe for countless hours of exploration. The Complete Edition is preloaded with all DLC. If you haven't played it, you best hurry up. The highly-anticipated sequel is set to launch with the PS5 later in the year.

Saddle up and get ready to explore American wilderness in this epic cowboy adventure game. You'll have control of Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang, and be given the freedom to embark on various missions as part of a huge and impressive story.

As a monster bounty hunter, you'll be roaming a huge world, known as Rivia, completing missions and battling supernatural baddies. There are hundreds of quests to complete and countless hours of adventuring to be had in this modern classic.

The Persona series is very, very JRPG. It's really out-there. But behind all of the awesome-yet-bonkers parallel universes, demonological considerations, and psychological weirdness, sits a brilliantly constructed title that rewards exploration, experimentation, and dedication. This one's all about character growth and building meaningful relationships.

Crash Team Racing first appeared on PlayStation One, and was so good that they've re-released it for the new console generation. This is a great party game, as there are loads of game modes to choose from, including arcade quick races, grand prix circuits, and multiplayer battles and races.

Resident Evil 2 is another game that was first seen on PlayStation One. It's such a successful and well-balanced horror game that Capcom decided to re-build the game to allowing this terrifying classic to be enjoyed by fans new and old. It's breathtakingly good.

This release by game developer demi-god Hideo Kojima has rightly been heralded a masterpiece by many. You'll take control of Sam Bridges as he steps into a world made unrecognisable due to the Death Stranding. Your mission is to save mankind with only humble means. The game features acting stars Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen.

This collection brings together the three Uncharted games into one bargain package. Over this series you'll take control of treasure hunter Nathan Drake as he adventures far and wide, struggling to survive in his quests for gold as he comes up against wild animals, mercenaries and intense parkour challenges. This is one of the greatest gaming series of all time.

The Surge 2 is not for the faint-hearted. It's a challenging game full of tough minions and deadly bosses. Even though it's hard, it's a stunning and rewarding play. Anyone who liked Dark Souls needs this in their gaming library.

If you've ever wanted to experience life as an action movie hero, then you'll need to play Blood and Truth. As you rip through the streets of London, the PSVR system fully immerses you in a white-knuckled ride of thrilling conflicts, explosions and chases. Note: This game requires PlayStation VR.

Gran Turismo Sport was released in 2017, and still stands as the best racing games available on any console. It's got an expansive car and track selection to test your racing skills, plus you can modify and fine tune your cars to get the best performance out of them possible. Without a doubt, this is one for the petrol-heads.

Trials Rising is a light-hearted stunt racing game with challenging and addictive courses to tackle, and some slapstick humour in the crashes. This game is one that gets better when played with friends as you battle to be the first across the line.

Doom Eternal is everything we love about the Doom franchise. It's frantic, violent, and over-the-top gory. True to the Doom name, the game demands that you're brave, never resting, never stopping, never overthinking. You will breathlessly bound from swarm to swarm, fighting off the hoards threatening to overwhelm. Adrenaline-pumping FPS action at its finest.

Rebuilding one of the most highly regarded games of all time is a gamble, and Square Enix rolled the dice. It paid off. FFVII Remake may not have a snappy title, but it's a real winner, successfully bringing together the atmospheres of 1997's journey through Midgar and fusing them with new mechanics and beautiful artistry. This instalment focusses on the first portion of the original game, and promises great things for what is to come.

The US has been devoured by a fungus which transforms humans into hideous and violent creatures, forcing survivors into oppressive quarantine zones. After a deal with an underground rebel militia group goes south, Joel finds himself smuggling teenager Ellie through the hostile wastes. Not only is The Last of Us a near-perfect example of a stealth action-adventure game, it's an emotional tale of desperation, friendship and humanity that will leave the player with a smile on their face and a tear in their eye.

There has never been a game with more to live up to. The Last Of Us is considered by many to be the perfect game, so Part II couldn't just be 'good', it had to be perfection once more. Thankfully, it is. Switching the focus of the tale onto Ellie, now nineteen, the story picks up four years after the first game, and the found-family seem to have set up in a new settlement. However, things change when the encampment is attacked and Ellie strikes out for revenge. A darker and more refined game, The Last Of Us Part II is a more than worth successor to the original. Don't miss out on this one.
