Typically at this point in a console generation, the reign of one system would be winding down as its successor takes over. But that isn’t the case with the PlayStation 4. Throughout its run, Sony’s wedge of a machine has racked up an impressive catalog of games to go out on top. And thanks to its backward compatibility with the PS5, the platform is still getting new games almost every week – including some incredible console exclusives and fantastic indie titles.

Undoubtedly the most popular and well-received Playstation 4 game ever released is 2022’s blockbuster sensation, The Last of Us Part II. Naughty Dog has once again delivered a heart-pounding, tear-jerking, action-packed adventure that takes the series to new heights. With an expansive story, awe-inspiring visuals, and a cast of unforgettable characters that feel like real people, it’s the perfect showcase for the console’s capabilities.

Death Stranding was another hugely acclaimed PS4 exclusive this year, and a must-have for anyone who can appreciate Hideo Kojima’s surreal brand of storytelling. Featuring post-apocalyptic delivery man Sam Porter Bridges, Timefall rain showers that age anything they touch and BTs (Beached Things), Death Stranding is a world of epic scale and beauty. And with its slick third-person combat and drool-worthy art design, it’s the most engrossing virtual walk you’ll ever take. A must-have for any PS4 owner. Playstation 4 games
