The 10 Best PlayStation 4 games

The list is composed of a large number of exclusives, and in that regard, Sony has worked very well to launch games that leave their mark on this generation.

God of war

The PlayStation generation seems to have been chosen to complete a series of transitions in many sagas. One of them is that of God of War, who with this adventure at the hands of Kratos and Atreus will discover the new life of the warrior God with his son. A God of War different from the rest, with the same essence, but much more complete and narrative. An experience you can not miss.

Horizon Zero Dawn

The people of Guerrilla Games surprised everyone with the launch of Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that puts us in a post-apocalyptic future dominated by machines with Jurassic physiognomy. At the hands of Aloy, we will have to travel through a gigantic open world to find the cause of the catastrophe that led the world to its destruction.

Bloodborne

A game not suitable for players with little patience, requires skill with the combination of movements. Having overcome that, this new title of From Software was accepted very well from all lovers of the action. You will die a thousand times, you will repeat dungeons and dark halls again and again, but each and every one of their final bosses will hook you with their design.

Uncharted 4: The outcome of the thief

When we said that the PS4 catalog felt like a transition, we obviously had the Uncharted saga in mind. The adventures of Nathan Drake come to an end with The Thief’s End, a spectacular production of Naughty Dog that will not leave you a second without surprises and that will take us to Libertalia, the lost city of Madagascar. How far would you be able to go for your loved ones?

The Last of Us: Remastered

Although the game was originally released on PS3, the remastered version came to liven up the PS4 catalog with better graphics than the original. Proof that the game is amazing is the fact, that many returned to complete the remastered story in order to relive again the dialogues between Ellie and Joel. Action, stealth and many infected.

Spider-man

We can’t make a list of ps4 games without the spiderman, and the game definitely deserves it. The first title developed by Insomniac Games for PS4 could not start better. The arachnid hero will take us on a walk through a completely open New York, that is fully available for exploring. PS. Do not forget to collect the cobwebs.

Red Dead Redemption 2

We included it in the list of the ten best Xbox One games, and it certainly deserves to be here too. The work of Rockstar Games is impossible to avoid, and obviously had to be also on the list of best PS4 games. Immerse yourself in the wild west with this incredible open-world adventure with great detail and in the style of GTA.

Beat Know

Beat Saber is a PlayStation VR game that will probably convince you to buy the glasses just by trying it once. Music, motor coordination and much, much rhythm awaits you in this great virtual discovery. Seriously, play it.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

A new full-fledged proposal by the people of Capcom, and what a proposal. Forget everything you’ve lived with the previous Resident Evil and think of a terrifying first-person adventure in the purest PT style, where a peculiar family of Louisina will be happy to welcome us. Or not. Oh, and if you dare, you can also play it with the PlayStation VR.

Gran Turismo Sport

One of the most realistic driving simulators ever made. Enjoy more than 150 vehicles with great detail while driving on tracks and circuits around the world in 40 to 60 images per second and with HDR effects. And yes, you can also play it in a VR.

Metacritic scoring parameters

Born at the dawn of 2000, Metacritic has become one of the key pages for finding opinions about music, movies, books and video games.

Although the Metascore only focuses on the critic’s scores, the fact that on average the weight of some portals is greater than others, they also have another way of scoring. To ensure a balance, in addition to collecting those specialized press reviews, a section is also included in which all players can vote and review the game. In this way, the critical and user scores are separated, which, as you will see below, can deliver very different results, although no less valid.

1. ‘Half-Life 2’

After the original game was considered ” the best PC game in history “, ‘Half-Life 2’ had the difficult task of keeping the bar equally high. This position on the list shows how much it succeeds in that, becoming one of the titles that would mark the way forward for the industry in the following years in terms of graphics, physics, artificial intelligence and, above all, narrative.

2. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’

Becoming the second game that has sold more physical copies, only behind a phenomenon like ‘Wii Sports’ (and without taking into account that adding the digital numbers the figure can be widely exceeded), ‘GTA V’ has become a mass phenomenon that after five years still continues to top the sales lists. It is not there by luck, of course, it is one of the most attractive and fun open worlds ever created.

3. ‘The Orange Box’

With ‘The Orange Box’ Valve cheated, and not only did it includes all the episodes of ‘Half-Life 2’ and the multiplayer of ‘Team Fortress 2’ to console users, it is also included in the pack a genius creation like ‘ Portal ‘, probably the best puzzle game the videogame world has seen in the last 20 years.

4. ‘Half-Life’

Launched in 1998, ‘Half-Life’ was Valve’s opera prima, a game that allowed them to live on the income of their success and its graphic engine to shape the empire in which Steam has finally become. Undoubtedly one of the best games in history, it is also a classic that, despite its graphics, has stood the test of time very well, which makes it an equally recommendable game today.

5. ‘BioShock’

History, graphics, gameplay … ‘BioShock’ has everything you could ask of an FPS, but it also managed to take a step further how the stories were told in an action adventure. A trip to the depths to discover an underwater city in which an utopia has become an absolute hell that has escaped the control of its creators.

6. ‘Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn’

Available in the ‘Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition’ along with the expansion ‘Throne of Bhaal’, ‘Shadows of Amn’ is the perfect example of why BioWare has become one of those companies to go to without hesitation when we search a good story. A magnificent role-playing game in which it is impossible not to be completely trapped for more than 60 hours.

7. ‘Portal 2’

It was very difficult to improve the unbeatable, but if there is a study capable of retracing its steps and getting your head to explode, that is Valve. With ‘Portal 2’ they demonstrated that the success of ‘Portal’ was not a simple coincidence, that the world and mechanics they had created could still go much further to create the ultimate mix of adventures and puzzles.

8. ‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’

‘The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ is another one of those role-playing games that catch you from minute one. A mixture of RPG and open world in which to follow the story is only part of the grace, and the opportunity to create your own best asset.

9. ‘Mass Effect 2’

After accelerating the pace of the first and deepening even more in everything that ‘Mass Effect’ managed to present, ‘Mass Effect 2’ became one of the star games of BioWare and one of the most successful titles of PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. A game so big and fun that neither the third installment nor the recent ‘Mass Effect Andromeda’ managed to overcome.

10. ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’

Considered by many as the best installment of the franchise ‘Grand Theft Auto’, the truth is that ‘Vice City’ had a special halo. Not only did it manage to be even more fun than ‘GTA III’, the game also got “that coolness” by referencing some of the most mythical films of the 80s, thereby delivering the ultimate gangster story.

Virtual Reality is an amazing experience that leaves you with your mouth open, especially during the first few hours of play. Best of all, there are a lot of free demos, games and VR movies that are ideal for experiencing virtual reality. We have compiled some of the most spectacular.

TheBlu – HTC Live

TheBlu – The Whale Encounter is the first virtual reality experience that everyone should try. It barely lasts two or three minutes, but you will not forget it in your whole life.

You appear, suddenly, at the bottom of the sea, on the bow of a huge sunken ship. Fish begin to emerge around you, blankets giants … And then appears Ella. We are not going to tell anything else to avoid spoiling. But it is an experience that everyone who has VR glasses should try.

TheBlu – The Whale Encounter is free on HTC Live, but is included in the full version TheBlu, with two other scenarios, which is also available for Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality.

Animation Shorts in Virtual Reality

The animated virtual reality shorts are very abundant, because you can get inside the movie and touch the characters while the animation is playing.

Leaving older ones as Invasion !, Asteroids!, or Allumette; three new shorts have been released recently, that I want to recommend because they are very good.

Crow: The Legend

A short for Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR of about 20 minutes, from the director of Madagascar. You can watch the trailer just above. It tells the story of a raven who has become an improvised hero, when he decides to end the winter so that his friends do not die of cold.

We are part of the story, since we are the god that brings the seasons and we have to act so as that the story progresses.

Age of Sail

This beautiful short from Google for Steam VR has been directed by Oscar winner John Kahrs. It will make you experience a sailboat in a rough sea … and you will know how is to survive a shipwreck.

The Bond

Released last October, The Bond transports us to an alien planet that reminds us of the Avatar movie, where we put ourselves in the shoes of a healer who empathizes with the creatures of the forest, good and evil.

Google Earth VR – Oculus Rift / HTC Vive

Google has several interesting virtual reality experiments, but nothing as shocking as Google Earth VR.

You have before our whole planet, in virtual reality. You can zoom in, and when you get close enough, you can fly over the cities and mountains in real size.

It is an incredible feeling, and also useful, because we talk about exploring all the content of Google Earth to find places or get routes, but in RV. One of the ten experiences and free virtual reality games that you should not miss on PC.

BBC Home – A VR Spacewalk

The BBC has created several free virtual reality experiences for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The most impressive is BBC Home – A VR Spacewalk, where we become an astronaut of the International Space Station, who is about to take a walk outside the station.

A walk you will never forget. The views with the Earth in the background cause vertigo! It’s the closest thing to becoming George Clooney or Sandra Bullock in Gravity.

Another free BBC experience that is also worth trying is BBC 1943 Berlin Blitz. It puts us inside a British World War II bomber, with the real voices of the crew.

Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine – HTC Live

HTC Vive offers two free Star Wars virtual reality experiences, and both are equally impressive, on a different scale.

The most amazing is Star Wars: Trials of Tatooine. Seeing the Millennium Falcon land in front of your face, in real size, leaves you with your mouth open.

What comes next is a succession of spectacular scenes where you have to act as a mechanic for the Millennium Falcon, help R2-D2, and even fight against the imperial troops.

The default setting shows little definition, so it is convenient to add more resolution in the Steam VR configuration, for a cinematic experience. The other free experience, Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay, is closer and more interactive.

Here you are a mechanic who repairs drones, and you have to fix different robots, manipulating them in 3D. If you want to feel inside the Star Wars movies, this is your chance.

The Lab

Who said Valve no longer makes video games? Ok, it’s not Half-Life 3, but The Lab is a genuine Valve game. Or rather a compilation of mini-games designed to show the wonders of virtual reality.

The Lab is available for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality, and consists of eight very varied and fun experiences. From defending a castle by shooting the invaders with your bow, dodging laser shots while attacking a group of ships, playing with a robot dog, or buying at the DotA 2 secret shop.

It is an ideal game to show the RV to other people, because there are many different mini-games and all are simple to play, and very spectacular.

Epic Roller Coaster

One of the most popular experiences of RV, are roller coasters. The feeling of riding in the attraction vehicle is completely real.

There are many variants of this type in the virtual reality of PC, but many are simple 3D videos, and others do not have much quality. One of the best is Epic Roller Coaster, a roller coaster game with several staged routes where many things happen around: medieval battles, Zombie Apocalypse, space stations …

It also includes a multiplayer competition where you compete for times, depending on what it takes to travel each circuit, with players from all over the world.

Epic Roller Coaster includes a free roller coaster set in a Jurassic world full of dinosaurs, which is also one of the most spectacular. And it is available for all three platforms. An alternative also very impressive, but paid, is Summer Fanland.

Waltz of the Wizard

Waltz of the Wizard is the closest thing to becoming a Harry Potter wizard that you will experience without paying. If you like it, you should not miss complete game The Wizards or Runes: The Forgotten Path.

Waltz of the Wizard makes you a wizard in front of a potion cauldron. Mixing different ingredients and concoctions, you will create effects as spectacular as Fireball, Giant, or turn everything you touch into butterflies.

The game is full of details, and there is also a maze full of dangers and several secret rooms, if you explore the wizard’s castle.

It is a highly recommended experience because everything is interactive. You have to take the potions with the movement controls, and turn the wrists to spill them in the cauldron. You also cast spells with the movement of your hands. Waltz of the Wizard is available for HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality.

Rec Room

A true multiplayer game in virtual reality. Create an avatar, meet your friends, and explore thousands of rooms created by players, with scenarios inspired by shooters, sports, paintball, challenges, and anything you can think of.

It is the game that shows that social multiplayer games are also possible in virtual reality. It also offers cross play between all PC RV platforms, and PlayStation VR.

Here are some others that we also like very much. Try them, they are free!

• Spiderman Homecoming – All
• Face your Fears – Oculus Rift
• Dreams of Dali – HTC Vive, Oculus Rift
• Coco VR – Oculus Rift
• Nefertari – HTC Vive, Oculus Rift
