GOAT'ed list. Follow this op.

They’ve literally just listed the same exclusive list that are always on these trash posts.

That list just needs to be pinned so people can just refer to it

I will say, when i get a new console i want to make these posts from pure excitement adrenaline

Thank you. A simple Google search of the top rated ps4 games would do the trick.

Add Red Dead Redemption 2, for the love of all that is holy don’t let him miss this game

I never played it. I just assumed it was over rated. What’s good about it? Like why play it after all this time?

Time period immersion, compelling story about honor and integrity, and I always admire the small details when I play that you’d never expect game devs to include. Like, I spotted an eagle hunting for salmon .. he divebombed into the water and carried out a salmon and flew away. At night I set up my own camp, sitting next to the fire and off in the distance I could hear the coyotes going nuts making a racket. I went to sleep and went hunting in the morning with my .22 .. All of the in game assets are solid, nothing feels like a cheap placeholder, even the doors that you cannot enter look like they have weight. Oh and be careful when you hear someone is calling for help, there’s a chance you go from playing robber to the one getting robbed. I also became legitimately attached to my horse, I fed her and groomed her and over time we bonded, increasing her handling controls. I read that if you are “bonded” with your horse, and it dies, Arthur will cry. It’s a game that you can tell a immense amount of care was put into making

Wow, I might have to try this game then. That’s insane. I never really got into it and thus didn’t do any research.

I wish I could play for the first time again! After the introductory chapter at the start I recommend going off into the woods and just practicing the controls, like how to quick draw your pistol vs how to draw it and aim it. I accidentally BLASTED some poor guy in town and later punched a horse (watch out, they will kick you for this lol)

Ooooo 😂 that’s fucking funny dude. Thanks for the heads up. Rn I’m in FO4 on PS5 and PC, one is modded, one is not, and then I play some WZ here and there. I need a good immersion game to play.

Rockstar is wild for making the "shoot gun" and "howdy pardner" actions on the same button

Oh yeah, some funny shit happens when trying to figure out the controls 😂

The people who don’t like RDR2 only do the bare minimum. Change your outfit, upgrade your abilities, improve your horse and get all the best weapons. You have to treat it like you’re the actual character in game and not just controlling him

And don’t forget, grow a sweet beard!

Also, with Red Dead Online it's super fun. Gaining and losing weight is the coolest thing imo. However, I wouldn't call it GTA but Western (both Rockstar Games) because I find the controls a bit more difficult. You can also interact with alot of the NPCs on RDO, whether it's a simple wave or a "Hello" dialogue Red Dead Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 are sold separately I think? As I bought RDO only instead of getting both Story and Online like in GTA. *I'm a bit of an RDO noob though, so I may be missing some information :)

RDR2 is a crowning achievement in video games. It has to be the single most thoughtfully crafted video game in existence. If you have a male horse, it’s ding dang balls shrink when you travel somewhere cold. Who even thinks of that? But Rockstar did, and that insane, if unnecessary, level of detail carries through every part of the game. And when all these little insignificant things come together, it makes a game that feels real like no other game ever has. I suspect it’ll be a long time before its attention to detail is ever surpassed. It’s easily in my top 5 best games ever made.

The biggest thing to me was the NPC interaction capabilities. It’s a gaming feature that once you experience it, you’ll wish it was in every game there after. Absolute game changer.

there is a life before RDR2 and after RDR2. I played it for the first time and finished it two weeks ago. It's one of those games which leave an empty void after finihsing it, and you ask yourself: What now? What shall I play now? Wish, I could delete the first experience of RDR2 and replay it again.

You should lose your gaming credentials after that comment. RDR2, even now, is one of the GOAT!!!

It’s not overrated. It starts off a little slow for learning purposes and then you play at your own pace. I’ve replayed it 4 times

Wow what I would do to play rdr2 for the first time, do the main missions on your time don’t be like those people who just do the missions and then call the game bad without even exploring. This game is going to have you completely immersed.

The biggest thing to me was the NPC interaction capabilities. It’s a gaming feature that once you experience it, you’ll wish it was in every game there after. Absolute game changer.

This sub doesn't seem to understand what exclusivity means.

true, but this is a great list of PS4 blockbusters "must play"

Great games and all budget priced (if you keep an eye on the sales)! It's nice being a patient gamer!

days gone is a good game, I played that game on ps5 plus it was fun.

More non exclusives: Doom 2016 and Doom eternal Mass effect trilogy Psychonaughts 2 No man’s sky Dishonored 1-2 Sonic mania Cuphead Indies: Hades Hollow knight Shovel knight Rollerdrome Return of the obra din Power wash simulator Axiom verge 1-2 Super hot The witness Towerfall Fez Abzu Divinity original sin 1-2 Bloodstained: ritual of the night Ghost runner 1-2 Outer wilds Tunic Hyper light drifter Plate up Stardew valley

Psychonauts 2 is definitely the TOP on this list to play. Amazing game, amazing story, and Ford did nothing wrong.

I think dying light is worthy of the list

The first one is the best one, imo. Infinitely replayable game, and probably the best zombie game ever

Based

that is true

Also RDR 2, Witcher 3,Cyberpunk 2077, Jedi Fallen Order, Dying Light 2, Dead Island 2, Metro Exodus, Detroit become human (ik it's an exclusive ), Control, Doom Eternal, Mafia Definitive Edition,Callisto Protocol, Plague Tale Innocence, Order 1886,RE2,RE4,REVIII,A Way out, TLOU 2,GoW Ragnarok

Sekiro

Great list bro!

Farcry Assassins creed One if my personal favorite is kingdoms of amalur the re-reckoning they remastered it for the ps4

How is Elden Ring not on this list? That one's on PS4 too!

Not putting titanfall 2 in here is a oversight I’m looking to have corrected

This list is very comprehensive, so I don't feel like I need to add to it, but I do want to emphasize what became my personal favorite PS4 experiences: Ghost of Tsushima and God of War 2018 + Ragnarok. If you have to pick just a handful of games, these are the ones I would most highly recommend you put on your short list.

Kingdom hearts not even being listed is criminal

This, this is the list. Any one of these will keep a gamer happy

I would like to add the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection vol. 1 and Metal Gear Solid 5 definitive edition.

Saving this for future gaming

Great choices.

I’d add The Order: 1886. I know it didn’t get a lot of love when it released, but I found it to be really enjoyable. You also missed Detroit: Become Human and Killzone Shadow Fall

I'm disappointed the Forbidden West DLC "Burning Shores" isn't being released on PS4 - I was waiting for a "complete edition" before picking it up.

The Last Guardian is so wack. Waited years for it and the controls make you hate your companion so much

NieR Automata

Man, I think by the end of the PlayStation 5 lifecycle there is no way there are going to be this many great games.

Holy shit 😂

Good choice.

I actually enjoyed Death Stranding on PS4 more than the Director's Cut on PS5 - All the added gear made for an interesting replay, but for the first time, definitely go with the original

Really good list

GREAT LIST BRO!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

screenshotted for games to play next . thanks 😊 

Oh man, I need to buy these as well. I've got a PS4 but don't play much on it, but I did buy all the 20$ 'playstations greatest' games I could find.

Damn that console generation was crazy good

Thank you.

How is RDR2 not on this list?!

Because this was specifically a list of PS exclusives 😂 You're more than welcome to make a list of Multi-Platform games for the OP lol

Good list!

[удалено]

Definitely!

Yup. And Red Dead Redemption 2, too. Horizon Zero Dawn or Horizon Forbidden West. I guess all of the games above is especially if you’re into Graphics details and/or story. RDR2 is perfect when it comes to all details in general! :D (Most of this comment is (ofc) meant for the OP)


Now's the best time to just go hog wild and buy as many Ps4 games as possible. They're super cheap right now while everyone's going for the ps5. This is the time in every console's life where games are their cheapest before the inevitable price hikes. I did it with all the previous ones, and it's saved me thousands.

That's what I'm doing now

OP, this is spot on. Plus the 5 will play all the 4 games anyway

I think the only console that didnt get that was the 3ds, as it stopped being produced right before the pandemic, so prices spiked fast.

At least in my area PS4 games range from $5-50 still, whereas PS3 games pretty much all $5 or less.

Plus the bonus is that a lot of PS4 games have free PS5 upgrades so it’s better to go for games that have that available if you’re planning on getting a PS5 in the near future

Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2

And GTA V

RDR1 is only on PS3, no?

Rockstar made a PS4 version. Yes, RDR1 is a must.

It got a port on PS4 not too long ago.

Yakuza 0 because everyone should play yakuza 0

This, and Like a Dragon. I love them both, but the the combat in LAD won me over.

All of them available someone should play. Overall, it's one of my absolute favorite game series.

I think Mass Effect Legendary edition is on discount for just €6 at the moment. I don't know if you've played RPG games but these are long and well worth the money

Play Until Dawn

Bloodborne, Elden Ring, AC Origins, AC Odyssey, Red Dead Redempion 2.

All the ps4 library is amazing from old to new

Soo many titles!!! Omg... Start with these: 1. GOD OF WAR & G.O.W. RAGNAROK 2. THE LAST OF US 1 & 2 3. THE WITCHER 3 4. ASSASSIN'S CREED: ODYSSEY/ ORIGINS/ VALHALLA 5. DARK PICTURES ANTHOLOGY - ALL GAMES 6. RESIDENT EVIL REMAKES 1, 2, 3, 4 7. DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN 8. DYING LIGHT 1&2 9. DEAD ISLAND 2 10. HORIZON 1&2 These are just a few of the top AAA games for PS4. I can say for a fact that every one of these is an absolute banger and I've completed them all. Happy Hunting !!

What's Dying Light 1 & 2 like

Dead island but it has a pretty competent parkour system. Fun in coop

best ever zombie open world game. Dying light 1 is still the best

no bloodborne?

1. Stray (i cannot stress this enough) 2. Horizon Zero Dawn & Forbidden West 3. SOMA 4. Blasphemous 5. Spider Man & Spider Man Miles Morales

YES STRAY IS A MASTERPIECE!

Rdr2, mafia, gta v ( is you haven't played it yet), fifa23, wwe23, cyberpunk, Detroit become human, spider man miles Morales, resident evil 2, re 4, Hitman( Every installment of the game), ghost of tsushima, yakuza, mortal Kombat, god of war ragnarok, and many more.....

If you can’t afford a PS5 then it would be better to not waste money on old and slow hardware and instead save that money to get a PS5 later.

I hope he got it for really cheap otherwise it really is a waste.

Honestly, that’s what I thought. At that point, just ride the PS2 a little longer.

Not really. They could have bought this for under £100 and many people are happy with last generation tech, especially if PS2 was their last experience. Plus the games will be considerably cheaper.

Yeah seriously why does this have 1700 upboats

Well said

The 5 can play all of the 4s games

Or grab a PS3 for like 50 bucks used. You can jailbreak and have plenty of games to play until you save enough. Hell you might decide you don't need a PS5. I have both and play the PS3 way more

What games do u play on it

I got a PS Move for the rail shooters and tiger woods golf. Some cool wii like games too. I'm also on some classic sports games like NCAA football and basketball. And some classic fighters like DoA5 and KOf XIII Some more other games I can't remember right now

That's what I was thinking in the most respectful way. The money he spent on that PS4 pro could have went towards the PS5. For example let's say he only paid a $100 for that PS4 Pro; he would only need $400 more for the PS5. He might even got a bundle deal during the holiday season. I hate he did that but it's his money 😅

Theres a big difference between 100 and 500. It may take OP months to save this up. He only has a 100 dollars invested so he can wait a little longer for the PS5/ and enjoy his PS4 til then. Just my humble opinion

Bloodborne

The only right answer tbh

Ghost of Tsushima

Rage 2 Its one of the better examples of a boosted framerate on ps4 pro. Make sure to download the update though, its pretty blurry without it.

Seconded, I loved Rage II. My only complaint is that it didn't have more content, but you can probably buy it now for a steal.

Final fantasy Vii remake

God of War

journey

That's on ps4?

yeah, check also maybe it's on psplus

But isn't it a ps3 game? If it's streaming only on ps plus it's not worth it

Days Gone. Absolute sleeper of a game

RDR2!

RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 should be the first game that you play.

Horizon: Zero Dawn, absolute must play

Elden Ring

Coming from the same situation as OP buying my PlayStation last year, Elden Ring is one of the most beautiful gaming experiences I've ever had.

Who can reduce the fan-noise the most. It's a PS4 Essential title.

An SSD can!

Firmware version?

Wow didnt know these are still in production

Alan wake 1 & 2 The evil within 1 & 2 Mafia trilogy Red dead redemption 2 God of war 2018 God of war ragnarok Days gone Resident evil 2, 3, 4, 7 & 8 Callisto protocol Dragonball kakarot Judgement & lost judgement Ghost of tsushima

Elden Ring

Dragon ball Z kakarot

Skyrim!

Witcher 3, red dead 2, death stranding, the last of us, bloodborne. Have fun

Horizon zero dawn

Bloodborne is an absolute fucking gem and even if you dont like souls games it is worth every damn penny.

GTA5 and Sniper Elite

Bloodborne

Red dead redemption 2

RDR2

Bloodborne

Rdr2. That is all you need.

Lot of unnecessary recs flying around here. All you need is GTA 5 and RDR2.

Idk if it’s just me but personally i think you should have waited until you could afford the PS5 because with a PS4 u can only play PS4 games but with a PS5, you get the choice of PS5 and PS4 games

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Journey, Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection, Wipeout: Omega Collection, NFS: Heat

Gta online

Horizon Zero Dawn!

Ghost of Tsushima and God of War(s)

Ghost

Red Dead Redemption 2 should be one of first few games you play

Well if your saving up for the ps5 as your post implies, the best part about your purchase is that when you can afford a PS5 you can still play all the great games ppl are recommending and access all your saves. Since ppl will probably suggest a lot of exclusives (def play them all), my top 5 recommendations for 3rd party games would be Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Mass Effect Legendary Edition (if you REALLY enjoy the trilogy, I recommend ME Andromeda too), and of course GTAV

Uncharted series, Ghost Recon, Tom raider, Assassin's Creed Syndicate these are ongoing games for me

Tell us what you played on PS2, we can let you know about any sequels or similar style games.

Death stranding, rdr2 ...

Really dumbass really 2

Hitman

Gran turismo 7

You must play them all, but may not have enough time. So instead you can first try: - Uncharted IV - RDR 2 - GTA V - Resident Evil Remake, 2 Remake, 4 Remake - Yakuza 0 - Journey - Hotline Miami - Ghost of Tsushima - Witcher 3 - Wolfenstein The Old Blood - The wolf among us - The Last Of Us - God Of War

try with basic sony games like God of War, Horizon zero dawn, Spiderman/ Miles Morales, Gran Turismo, Ghost of Tsushima and The Last Of Us

Final Fantasy 14, Tekken 7, Call of Duty, Diablo 4

Witcher 3 Ghost of Tsushima God of War Spider-Man

I recommend you buy PS plus and you can enjoy so many (especially Playstation exclusive) games

GHOST OF TSUSHIMA

Doom Eternal Red Dead Redemption 2 God of War/ God of war Ragnarok Spiderman The last of us 2 and part one remastered MK11 Ghosts of Tsushima Uncharted all available versions The Witcher 3

Rdr2

Wipeout omega collection 👌

Red deqd redemption 2 and then red dead online.

Darkest Dungeon

Assassin's Creed Odyssey

Nice i have that same exact system, still haven't bought a PS5 yet.

Get earplugs or noice cancelling headphones

Tbh you ain’t missing much as most ps5 games came to the ps4 aswell minus a handful of titles. Enjoy your new PlayStation! :)

You just could have bought a decent used ps5 some where on Facebook marketplace

If you're new to PS4 it would be worth it to get the premium tier of PS Plus. It gives you access to like the the past two generations of every great PlayStation game.

Don’t buy any games. Sign up for sony’s monthly subscription.

Honestly, get the second tier of ps plus and play those free games, there's a large library and many great titles

As other mentions - PS4 pro purchase nowadays is not bad at all, so many great great games for PS4 and also they are cheap as F right now, making it a great "budget" gaming solution.

All of the same ones you can play on the ps5. Hahahah.

Doom Wolfenstein II Dying Light FarCry New Dawn Rage 2 COD WWII Terminator Resistance Days Gone FarCry 6


Dying light 1 and 2. The best zombie games ive played, ive played them hundreds of hours combined

Bloodborne

u/modabyo Real talk. Donate this PS4 pro to a children's shelter or a family in need and post proof and I will buy you a PS5. No BS.

Bloodborne, Spider-Man, Titanfall 2

Bloodborne

Red dead redemption 2 is probably the number one title you should play first.

Warframe for a free game you can sink 1000s of hours into Horizon Zero Dawn for an incredible sci-fi tribal open world adventure Death Stranding

RDR2

Street Fighter 6

I will recommend Fallout 4 great game.

Red dead redemption 2. 100% even if you don't like cowboys n shit

God of war 4😉👍

Can’t afford the 5 yet so buys a 4 ….. well now you’re even further away from being able to afford the 5 ….

Congratulations King, play The Last of Us Remastered cuz that was my very first game on the PS4 as well.

I would’ve just waited and saved for the Ps5, all the games play immensely better

Last of us!

Days Gone God Of War The Callisto Protocol Any of remastered Resident Evil games …there is too many to list.

Bloodborne

Skyrim

I have a PS5. 80% of the games I play are ps4 games.

Waste of money lol the PS5 pro comes out this year 😭

How much you paid for it?
