Best PS4 Games of 2020 So Far

Then came Cyberpunk 2077 and blew them all away.

Resident Evil 3 and The Last of Us 2 are the only new games I've finished this year so far, I'll go back and finish Doom Eternal and FFVII over the summer. As for Doom I'm not entirely sure its better than the 2016 game, whilst RE2 makes RE3 seem worse than it really is, still beat it 3 times so far. Best game this year so far is an easy choice

Nioh deserve to be replaced in the position of Dream

@ApostateMage I hope it does as that'll mean its absolutely brilliant

I love FF7R for boldly remaking not only the gameplay but the plot of a classic game. I hate FF7R because of the wait for Part 2 and several burning questions 🤔😔

I'm sorry but in no way is the last of us pt 2 better than the FF7 remake. It's just not. I'm sorry but that game is amazing from start to finish. I couldnt have asked for a better remake.

@carlos82 same here only finished Re3 and TLOU2 starting nioh2 now so far so good. Probably my favourite this year is TLOU2 or Re3 though i am fan of survival games.

lol any best of 2020 list that doesn't have Streets of Rage 4 on it is HIGHLY SUSPECT

Nioh 2 is the best.i l💖ve this franchises.word up son

I think you'll find that you forgot to put Two Point Hospital somewhere at the top of the list!

I just love TLOUII's combat, so intense, amazing and deeply satisfying. Wet clothes in Uncharted1 was game-changing, in this one I'd say... ROPE!

@ApostateMage it definitely will

Strange to see so many story-focused single-player games there since we keep being told that type of game is a thing of the past. It's almost as if humans naturally love being engrossed in a great story and an immersive world and that there's more to gaming that running around trying to shoot each other while a 13-year-old American kid makes unbased claims about everyone's mothers. 🤔

I must admit, I am very surprised that Persona 5 Royal has ranked higher than Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I only own two on this list; P5R and Dreams which I got for free.

@ShaiHulud I second this.

I would take these games over every game on this list.
Shantae and the Seven Sirens
Freedom Finger
Huntdown
Void Bastards
2 point Hospital
Streets of Rage 4
Curious Expedition
Ion Fury
Atomicrops
Demons Tier

Can only rank the ones I've played...
1. Streets of Rage 4
2. MLB The Show 20
3. Final Fantasy VII Remake
4. DOOM Eternal
5. Resident Evil 3
6. The Last of Us Part II

You mean the only PS4 games of 2020

@Matroska i agree but for me, ive not playes an online game in years and certainly dont miss them at all. Only online game i would consider is something co-op but then again i dont have any friends so that ones out the window 😂

Ha, Persona over Final Fantasy.

You love to see it.

😉

Just messing about, I look forward to eventually playing VII remake but P5 blew me away. Had such a great and memorable time with it.

It's the best game I have finished this year, Days Gone in second place. I'm halfway through Part II and am of the opinion that it's an instant classic.

I've had Persona 5 in my backlog for an age. Is it worth just trading it in and getting Persona 5 Royal instead ? .....( then THAT can sit in my backlog ) ..tempted to

@Mitsui definitely.its a amazing game.hopefully nioh 3 is next.but i also hope for ninja gaiden 4.word up son

@KingPev Probably tbh. Its the same rpg of the generation, but with extra content, but streamlined in areas that you will come to appreciate. I am still early doors on it due to having rinsed the original and so many classic titles releasing this year but i'd say that it probably does male sense to play royal over the vanilla release. Either way, you will still get an amazing experience

@Rob_230 thanks, that's what I'll do. And make sure I play it asap !

Haha..demo factory ahead of FFVIIR...sheesh

I know it was released last year but Control remains as the best PS4 game I've played so far this year.

@roe Because it is not the best game ever; it is NOT even the best game of this generation.

@cashflowx
I think it was sarcasm. It's exhausting all the articles for this game. Last couple weeks I just click on the front page see 4 articles about it and click off and go somewhere else. There's so many other games I'm curious about.

Looking back I enjoyed Resident Evil 3 more than I first thought, Streets of Rage 4 was another great game but The Last of Us 2 is my favourite so far. Doom Eternal I got to level 4 and haven't returned and I'm currently at the Wall Market on FFVII remake and I'd say its good but not great so far, of I hadn't have played the original I may have stopped by now.

I’m not surprised given the nature of this site, but as far as TLoU2’s combat being intense or whatever. I’ve been playing it for some days now and the combat is average. Nothing new or mind blowing. I think the standards need to be a bit higher here.

Nioh 2 and streets of rage 4 the win.💖😍💛💚.word up son

Dreams at number two. That’s a hot take lol

So far, I've only played one of these games for a decent amount of time (FFVII Remake) but even if that wasn't the case, I get the feeling I'd place it at the top of my list anyway. Outside of the ending, which is more a problem for future installments than this one, this remake was everything I honestly could've hoped for; the characters were more fleshed out and likeable, the music was top-notch, the gameplay was among the best in the series (really showing how far SE have progressed since FFXV) with some truly great setpieces/boss fights and even the story was pretty good (which, coming from someone who didn't really like the original's story that much, is saying something).
So far, I think the only game here that has a chance to surpass it is Dreams, and I'm not too sure what to think of that one to be honest. On the one hand, it achieves what it sets out to do pretty well in providing a robust game maker, but on the other hand, as with all game makers, a fair chunk of its value lies in what the community produces, which is very much a mixed bag. Maybe if I went back and put a decent amount of time into it I could get a better idea, but at the moment, I can't really say one way or the other.

I normally agree with Push Square but I have to vehemently disagree with #1. I feel The Last of Us 2 resembles nothing of the relationship and character arc of the first, to say the least. Just my two cents.
