Note Editors: Eurogamer is restarting its series of games & # 39; best games & # 39 ;, and today we're looking at PlayStation 4. You will continue to see a list of many platforms that appear on the homepage in the coming weeks, with the aim of updating them several times a year as new releases include the existing programming library. available.
If you want to help us explain why we make a list of the best & # 39; s best games, and our process, you can listen to how we decided that our best Switch games stay with the dedicated episode of The Erogamer Podcast.

PlayStation 4 has had a good few years and that makes choosing our favorite games very difficult. Niche favorites such as the mini-epic Ground Zeroes and the beautiful VR blaster Polybius were supposed to do for some people, but in fact the breadth of the console's back catalog is much like the one used to give it its personality.
There is a lot to argue about, in other words, but we also hope that there is something for everyone in the games that we have finally chosen.
The shedding of blood
For a fun night of the game, Bloodborne sees FromSoft extend its formula into the rich world of Lovecraftian, full of horror and splendor alike. She is a close cousin to the Dark Souls series, but by her taste; The action is even more aggressive, removing the resolve many players had relied upon, while the storyline made it clear.
It's a heady mix, and it's a strong match for director Hidetaka Miyazaki right now; come the end of the generation, it's between this and Breath of the Wild for what is the greatest game of the time.

The Last Guardian
For a long time in the development and protection of so rare, the Last Guard became a mythical beast in its own right. In fact, the game has turned out to be all we can believe – and while it is full of brilliant mysteries, there is something surprisingly familiar about the way the story unfolds.
The boy nurses the injured animal back to life, and the boy and the animal pass through a vast, almost abandoned kingdom. From dank grankos to high peaks of sun-drenched rocks, this is a journey just as it is a game. And as it is a journey and a rumor – of the friendship and friendship and kindness we owe to the living beings around us.

Spider Man
Marvel & # 39; s Spider-Man is also Spider-Man, an Insomniac, and while players haven't bothered to play the best games of the summer of 2018, Peter Parker has just wrapped up Kratos as far as we're concerned. So much freedom and a sense of humor that the game emphasizes.
Spidey & # 39; s Manhattan is a wonderful playground, and it is also a cleverly designed fan-service area. Cameos and clusters are intertwined, while the heart of the game blends in combat and traversal – and symmetry – in a way never gets better. It's a glorious game.

Yakuza 0
Thanks to Sega's enthusiastic approach to local activism over the past few years, there are now many Yakuza games to choose from, and Zero appears as the team's choice. The prequel set across Tokyo and Osaka, is a fitting introduction to the best series ever – and since it's a mistake we show some of the extremes Yakuza is known for, which here claims to be too extreme.
A flood of money on the screen when you successfully complete a fight, and there are extras interest in the already volatile Yakuza world. It's outstanding, and reminds us that the Sega you've loved has never gone away.

Astro Bot Rescue Mission
It's tempting to say that with or without the PSVR Astrobot would have been one of the biggest platforms of this generation of Hardware. But there is actually no Astro Bot without PSVR.
Sony & # 39; s Japan Studio builds a world that puts the player at the center of it, and then sends its exciting hero ascending, up and down. Color and guesswork are common, but the clarity of thought is truly amazing. Astro Bot is as complex and smart as Super Mario, and there is no higher compliment than that.

GTA 5
Rockstar's open world is designed for the West Coast, with its wide geographical range, its unmistakable dangerous winds and its already over-exploited potential.
But GTA 5 is still a bit of a surprise project, offering an island that feels hand-built under each tarmac meter with three opponents that will be too difficult for the series to go up or even beyond. In 2019 we know that all of this comes at an alarming human cost.
Gta 5 is an extremely difficult genius, an example of the amazing rise and extreme rides of modern video games

The effect of Tetris
Can you develop a complete game? Well, maybe not, but you can certainly squeeze it in with new and appealing directions, and that's just the improved Tetris Effect exercise.
It's a suggestion easy enough to understand – on one hand you have found an ancient masterpiece in all its glory, on the other hand there are folk songs that have brought you Rez, Baby of Eden and Lumines. But in that mix the Tetris Effect is likely to be much more; a meditation on life and love, or the ultimate pleasant experience.
Oh, and if you try it on PlayStation VR then it's something else entirely …

Gran Turismo Sport
The set didn't go well for Playphation 4 for Polyphony Digital. Coming well into the life cycle of the system and even after the splendor of Gran Turismo 6 – a game that has been running from Mulanne to the moon and visible everywhere in between – its small car and track range feel very limited.
For all that Gran Turismo has lost, however, he has achieved much worse; a sense of focus, as driving experts Polyphony begins to create serious race a controversial game for the first time. It is a portable Racing for the console, basically, and it works great.
The PlayStation 4 is nothing short of great racing games – and shouting, especially in the excellent F1 and Dirt Rally 2.0 games – but Gran Turismo Sport sees Polyphony regain its position at the start of the pack.

Nex Machina
Housemarque went down in search of Eugene Jarvis' masterpiece and brought him on a boat for this twin blossom that is so blooming and explosive that it can serve as a send off for the rest of the genre. Warp and pull at reduced brain levels as mechanical intelligence fades and expands around you. No game since Robotron 2084 wrings are a lot of fun from the simple joy of walking and shooting.
Arcade is not dead, of course, no matter what Housemarque says late. And Nex Machina, the death machine, is a good argument for why arcade games will live forever.

The remainder Edith Finch
Death in games is so common that it's far less common than trouble – a trap in your journey, a small stumble along the way. So, how refreshing it is to have a game that offers playful meditation, that touches on the ways of death that have affected thousands of branches of one lucky family.
What Edith Finch has left at one point is fun and long but nothing more than just talk, about winning – and it exacerbates the boundaries of video storytelling in such a way that anyone interested in going through the middle simply can hear it. they.

Hohokum
Hohokum says video games are art and movement, sound and color, action and reaction. They can be solved, but they can be played with, and there must be a lasting mystery: what remains, what is said, and how all that happens in the world.
Over Hohokum he directs the snake around a light, flexible surface in 2D areas. But the highs are always tricky and the connections between one place are always amazing. Hohokum puzzle, toy and entertainment. In other words, it's a video game, and totally blind.

Final concept 14
You know the story behind this time now, I'm sure – a formal presentation, a public apology and afterwards it may sound completely like a dream. Everything there is old now, but in recent years Final Fantasy 14 has gone from strength to strength.
It's kind, personable, bright, stylish and shot with a sense of adventure, all contributed to the community being one of its finest assets. The best series of a generation or two, in short, and the most expanding of its un-cultivated world no matter what the specific taste of Final Fantasy is to your poison.

Monster Hunter World
Monster Hunter has been slowly evolving over the years, but this marked the biggest change yet, introducing a living, breathing world created by the finest, most human beings.
You are so cute you probably don't want to spend 30 minutes chasing them, putting them in the nose with an ax to change so you can make tasty pants on them. Most likely. It's great, though, that Monster Hunter's key monster drag has never been stronger, and eventually the world beyond Japan seems to have opened its eyes to the size of Capcom's series.

Fortnite
Now that there is plenty of War Royales to compare it to, it's becoming easier and easier to see what makes Fortnite special. Of course, it became popular with Battle Pass and now with all the money in the world it can beat anyone to compete for the speed of renewal and the richness of its interpretation.
What Fortnite does note, though, is that it supports a wide variety of gaming styles, from people who want to shoot to people who want to build – – most notably – people who just want to hack one of the video game systems involved right now.
Fortnite's world changes, which makes the sensitiveness of the memories you treat feel very special. Some games are better shooters, but no one can match this one with its great local strength.

Alien: Solate
It may have taken nearly 40 years, but one of the best sci-fi cinema documentaries has finally found the right game for its legacy in this slow-moving horror scene from Creative Assembly and Sega. Wet and earthy, it combines a world of soft lights and striking driving with incredible precision.
Since the digital travel piece has no root – so how is the bonus of having a well-crafted story mixed, alongside the constant threat of a single xenomorph hunting you. Alien: Sadly, the isolate hasn't had the success it deserves, but that doesn't stop it from being an epic adventure and it's one of the best PS4 ever.
