@Kidfried Fair enough and it certainly makes sense to me. I can’t judge because I never played MediEvil, so I’m interested in your opinion. There are going to be those games that just ‘click’ for us individually, and ones that don’t, even though objective breakdown of the game might say something different. In fact my #1 game is indefensible as far as a lot of the technical hiccups like the control scheme and the things like the slow pacing and lack of cohesive narrative. But for some reason it just always comes back to mind as my absolute classic video game artistic experience.
So anyways , here’s my list(s). I’ll start with the console exclusives or Sony published games first:
1. Shadow of the Colossus Remake
2. Uncharted 4 / Lost Legacy
3. Death Stranding
4. God of War
5. Bloodborne
6. Detroit Become Human
7. Horizon Zero Dawn
8. Ghost of Tsushima
9. Spider-Man
10. Infamous SS / First Light
11. Resogun
12. Ratchet & Clank
13. The Order 1886
14. Persona 5
15. Until Dawn
16. Dreams
17. Concrete Genie
18. Gravity Rush 2
19. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
20. Erica
Notable exclusions that I haven’t played yet which would likely crack the list are: Days Gone, The Last of Us 2, 13 Sentinels, Nioh.
It’s a little tough to know how to categorize games that aren’t Sony funded but remain only on PlayStation console like Persona 5. There aren’t many of these so I included P5 into this list.
———————
As far as taking all multi-platforms into account, I’d probably go with:
1. Shadow of the Colossus Remake
2. Uncharted 4 / Lost Legacy
3. Death Stranding
> 4. Metal Gear Solid V
5. God of War
6. Bloodborne
> 7. NieR Automata
8. Detroit Become Human
9. Horizon Zero Dawn
> 10. Resident Evil 2 Remake
> 11. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice
> 12. Red Dead Redemption 2
13. Ghost of Tsushima
14. Spider-Man
15. Infamous SS / First Light
Apologies for going over 10, despite the thread’s title. It really does come down to splitting hairs at a few spots on both lists. And that’s what makes it hard to limit to 10, as I’d consider a lot of these positions as basically ‘ties’ with the one above it.
And my options may vary slightly depending on the day. If I make this list tomorrow it might be different 😄
1. Final Fantasty 7 Remake
2. Persona 5 Royal
3. TLOU Franchise
4. God of War
5. Ghost of Tsushima
6. Apex Legends
7. Dark Souls 3
8. Nioh 2
9. Nier Automata
10. Red Dead Redemption 2
We truly were blessed this generation with some incredible games, some of them among the best of all times. Being a proud owner of each PS console some of my fondest memories come from PS4 generation.
@Arugula Yeah, exclusivity is fairly nebulous with a lot of these games, even with ignoring PC ports. I’d typically consider Yakuza 0 basically a PS exclusive but it has finally ported to Xbox I think. It only took like 5 years, but it’s there now I guess, along with most of the series. Some haven’t ported yet like Yakuza 6. It’s just a weird situation.
And Ni No Kuni 2 is still only found on PlayStation 4, as far as I know, so no need to pull that game off the list.
@Rudy_Manchego Interesting inclusion of Bound. And I also didn’t realize this was a PlayStation exclusive. Seeing as I have this in my library from PS Plus, there’s no excuse for me not to try this out. Anything specific that you like about it?

@Th3solution Hey there - well it is an interesting one. I played it early on with PSVR and it was wondrous. I only toyed with the non-VR mode. As a game, it has some interesting world building, some gorgeous animation in the main character and an honestly amazing soundtrack.
Still, there is very little gameplay or challenge to it. It is very esoteric and so on. Playing it in PSVR with the sound and depth was truly amazing to me but I can't guarantee that it will feel the same in non-VR. Still, it is relatively short and I don't think it will be a waste of anyones time.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Rudy_Manchego Yeah, a quick research of the game had me reading that the game was specifically designed to be played through in one sitting as a unique alternative experience for seasoned gamers who’ve seen and done it all and run low on time to squeeze in more epic 100 hour marathons like Witcher 3. Sounds right up my alley.

Can't be bothered to separate exclusives from third party as let's be honest, all Don't Studio games are going to end up on PC at some point!
My Top Ten on PS4:
1 - Red Dead Redemption 2
2 - The Witcher 3
3 - The Last of Us Part II
4 - Persona 5
5 - Horizon Zero Dawn
6 - God of War
7 - Uncharted 4
8 - Death Stranding
9 - INSIDE
10 - Arkham Knight
Honourable mentions: Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 2 and AC Odyssey.
