5 Best Playstation 4 Games

Sony needs to improve and win, this may be the psychological condition that surrounded their executives when they gave birth to the Playstation 4, which yesterday finally officially turned 10 years old. It must be admitted that in competition with the Xbox 360 in the previous generation, the Playstation 3 is not the hardware one dreams of.

Who would have thought that the console that has accompanied many gamers, especially in Indonesia after it officially arrived, would now be 10 years old. First released in the United States on November 15 2013, the 10 years that Playstation 4 has been presented are also inevitably recognized as one of the best generations of gaming too. Sony continues to let its first-party studios experiment with new IP, the remake process, as well as a sequel series with an approach that was never expected before.

But of course, it is not an easy matter to determine just the definition of a "Playstation 4" game itself considering that many of these titles ended up being brought by Sony to the PC and Playstation 5 afterwards. Therefore, to formulate clearer and more definitive regulations for this article. What we mean by "Playstation 4 games" here are games that were first released for Playstation 4, exclusive or not, first-party or third-party, which we think are of high quality.

Here is the list of the 5 best PlayStation 4 games:

Bloodborne

Choosing which game deserves to be named the best among the best for Playstation 4 is not an easy job. However, for those who have tasted it and ended up falling into addiction, there is no more rational choice than Bloodborne.

Fantastic execution on almost all fronts, from building a cool gothic world, monster and enemy designs that are ready to give goosebumps to your skin, evocative music, challenging combat action with more aggressive Souls-style mechanics, cool Expansion, to various secrets to unlock from its world is the reason Bloodborne deserves to be in first place on our toplist this time. There are also high hopes here that Sony will find a way to bring this name back to a more modern era.

Horizon Zero Dawn

Moving from an FPS game that Sony wanted to use as a competitor to Halo but ended up not being as popular as imagined, Guerrilla Games' decision to make Horizon Zero Dawn was one of the best decisions they ever made.

The main attraction lies in the premise and super cool world design that has never been offered by any game, where a post-apocalyptic world is now inhabited by lots of animal robots of various sizes whose goals are very mysterious.

Armed with arrows at the start, a cool and challenging action side, Horizon Zero Dawn also has fantastic world-building action through various ethnic groups and their different cultures. Even though it doesn't often get awards, this is one of the most fun new IPs Sony has ever released.

Marvel Spider-Man

Having one of the most famous superheroes and not exploring it further? This is certainly not a smart business decision. Luckily, Sony has a first-party studio that seems to understand what they need to do with this Spider-Man.

Insomniac Games stepped in to take what we know from so many of Marvel's Spider-Man games of the past, bringing it into the modern era, injecting it with emotional Spider-Man and Peter Parker side stories, ensuring the web-swinging action ends up being immersive, and blending with exciting fighting action. The combinations work fantastically and it's really no surprise, making this title still Sony's best-selling first-party studio in the Playstation 4 era.

Shadow of the Colossus Remake

Entering a remake game in the second best position? Maybe there will be two responses that accompany our personal choice. Those who have tried Shadow of the Colossus Remake will agree, while those who are unfamiliar will probably be in the opposing position. We are talking about a game that has been positioned as one of the best Playstation 2 games which is now going through a very appropriate modernization process.

The remake process involves building visuals with a new engine which has succeeded in making the atmosphere much thicker and cooler, while on the other hand, ensuring that the gameplay remains faithful to the original series. Imagine a remake process that makes a game that is already too cool in your eyes actually have room and opportunity to appear even cooler. This game is also what succeeded in getting Bluepoint Games on the radar of many people and is considered an expert in remake and remaster projects.

Ghost of Tsushima

When Sucker Punch first announced the presence of Ghost of Tsushima through a charming first trailer, there were indeed concerns.

How can a Western developer who is unfamiliar with Japanese culture capture the essence of the life of a Samurai who fought to protect his island from attacks by the Mongols? Fortunately, Sony Japan's active role as a place for discussion and exchange of ideas erased these doubts. It ended up not only being an exciting open-world action game with familiar elements, but ended up being one of the most beautiful open-world games you can get on Playstation 4.

There is a reason why this game, which sparked controversy in the west due to fear of the concept of "cultural appropriation", ended up becoming one of the western games that is really loved and appreciated by Japanese gamers.
