15. Battlefield 4 (PS4)

14. Dying Light (PS4)

Parkour and zombie-killing go hand-in-hand in Dying Light, an open world, post-apocalyptic title that delivers intense first-person survival gameplay. You’ll conquer the rooftops of Harran as a parkour master, or run for your life as the thrilling day/night turns you from predator to prey. It was an entertaining game out of the box, but made better and better thanks to years of post-launch support.

13. Battlefield 1 (PS4)

Battlefield 1 broke tradition by opting for the First World War instead of the Second for its setting, which brought with it a lot of novelty and interest. With a decent single player campaign alongside it, Battlefield 1 was a fairly unique online title that remains a highlight of the PS4 era. Its still got a healthy player base, too, so jumping in this much time later shouldn't prove difficult.

12. Far Cry 4 (PS4)

Ubisoft struck gold with the previous game, so it doubled down on that formula for Far Cry 4. With an open world map loosely based on Nepal, the game takes players to another wild, fictional setting filled with aggressive wildlife, enemy encampments, vehicles, and more. It builds upon its predecessor's compelling loop of slowly accruing and upgrading weapons and perks to turn you into a one-man army, and while the story isn't all that memorable, it's still a good time overall.

11. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PS4)

As is the case with DOOM, Bethesda’s staked its claim as the masters of reviving old-school first-person franchises. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has all of the camp European eccentricities of its predecessor, but it presents them all in the context of a Nazi occupied United States. With bone-rattling gunplay and an engaging storyline, B.J. Blazkowicz is not past it yet.

10. Metro Redux (PS4)

Metro Redux may effectively be a compilation, but it includes two killer games from the PS3 era – one of which was exclusive to the Xbox 360 at the time. Both bundled games have thick, oppressive atmospheres, and are significantly upgraded in this package.

9. PREY (PS4)

PREY made a valiant attempt to revitalise the franchise, and while it wasn't a big sales success, it remains an engrossing sci-fi thriller. You wake up aboard a mysterious space station, where you're the test subject for the betterment of humanity. Obviously, things go very wrong, and the station is overrun by hostile aliens. Featuring unique enemies, a non-linear location full of details, and imaginative new weapons, it's an atmospheric, tense first-person adventure that'll get under your skin.

8. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (PS4)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered brings one of the best and most influential first-person shooters to PS4. Though it shows its age somewhat these days, the game's single-player campaign is still fantastic, with some particularly breathtaking moments still holding up very well. The multiplayer is preserved here, too, and is arguably the best part. Again, it's been bettered in the years since, but there's no denying just how much the online functionality of this title changed the landscape. It's still a lot of fun, and there's a certain charm to its simplicity.

7. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PS4)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare brings back one of the most influential shooters ever in this robust remake. It looks fantastic, plays just as well as you'd expect, and features all the multiplayer goodness you could want. The campaign is the star of the show, though, building on what came before to make it even more cinematic and engaging. One of the better entries in the franchise in recent memory.

6. Overwatch (PS4)

Overwatch has been superseded by Overwatch 2 now, but it was one of PS4's tightest and most kinetic first person shooters. Blizzard's team-based multiplayer FPS combined excellent gunplay with top tier character design to deliver an endlessly entertaining experience. Each hero was totally unique, and they all complemented each other with crazy abilities that were easy to learn but hard to master. Pretty much everything great about this game has carried over to its successor, but many will fondly remember the original and how it evolved people's expectations of multiplayer shooters.
