The 10 most PlayStation 4 games worth spending in 2021

Whether you are a novice gamer, a game expert, or just looking for a new experience from the market, PlayStation 4 has amazing games. From open world games and shooting games to action-packed AAA games, PS4 is friendly to casual and hardcore players, and some are Sony PS4 exclusive games that cannot be played anywhere.

Moreover, PS5 is compatible with the future, so any PS4 game can now be played on the next-generation console.

There is something for everyone on PS4, including family games, sofa co-ops, and party games. Explore a new fantasy realm, drive a car on the track, travel to unknown areas of the world, or defend against a group of greedy zombies.

These are the best fighting, role-playing, action and adventure PS4 games

Best overall: Sony God of War (PS4)

Pros

• Exquisite graphics and artistic style
• A fascinating story with a Nordic theme
• Welcome to the RPG mechanism

Cons

• A lot of backtracking
• Not everyone likes non-linear stories

The 2018 "God of War" is rightly crowned as a king, and an equally exciting sequel (hopefully) will soon be launched in Ragnarok. This is a gritty, creepy and more realistic depiction of the notorious Kratos and his son Atreus. But don’t worry. If you are a fan of old games, the root cause still exists.

Bringing the series into Norse mythology, this game features high-intensity combat and has the same smooth and dynamic mechanics as the "God of War" series. This time, Kratos used an axe to attack a large number of mythical creatures. The game is also incredibly immersive and cinematic, and is presented as a single, complete, and complete shot from beginning to end.

It combines RPG, action and arcade style gameplay. In other words, not only can you upgrade your equipment by increasing Kratos's statistics, but the combination-based attack allows players to add some talents to each battle.

The most challenging: FromSoftware Bloodborne (PS4)

Pros

• Lovecraft theme
• Multi-purpose weapon system

Cons

• Not everyone can visit
• Mikolash is annoying

If you like cruelty, dullness, blood and rewards, then Bloodborne Curse is the game for you—especially for fans of the Dark Souls series. Although it was released in 2015, the game is still one of the best exclusive games on PS4, as well as part of the past PlayStation Plus lineup.

Best Open World Game: Sucker Punch Productions Ghost of Tsushima (PS4)

Pros

• Beautiful and immersive open world
• Encourage natural exploration and curiosity

Cons

• High difficulty

The 2020 "Soul of Tsushima" not only incorporates a large number of game mechanics and themes, but also incorporates a variety of visual styles. It has one of the most beautiful, fascinating, and immersive open worlds in years, second only to Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2.

The unique navigation system uses wind and visual cues to encourage players to explore the world more naturally instead of running from a map checkpoint to a map checkpoint. The result is a unique and fluid experience that usually takes you off the beaten track to discover new tasks, objects, and events.

Not only can you adjust various equipment and weapon sets, you can also equip amulets, custom colors (dye), and so on. Each weapon set has its own set of attributes, adding more nuances to the battle.

The most unique: Hideo Kojima death stranded (PS4)

Pros

• Gorgeous graphics and world
• Funny characters

Cons

• Has a steep learning curve
• The storyline is a bit pretentious

Hideo Kojima is the main title of "Death Stranding", and it shows. This is a wonderful, weird and unique experience, unlike anything in the past. In its simplest form, the game mechanics involve walking, horseback riding, or trekking-whether you can-making important deliveries between different locations. It is what happened during these journeys that makes the game so fresh.

"Death Stranding" is supported by one of the more cinematic and complex storylines on this side of the Pacific. As you might expect, it also contains some cute and sad characters, with rich background stories, nuances and personalities. In addition, you can collect your blood and feces to use them for grenades.

Best Survival Game: The Last of Us Part II (PS4)

Pros

• Gritty, dark, and everything we like in the first part
• Fascinating story
• Diverse characters and game experience

Cons

• Very linear story
• Can be very difficult

Some people love it, some people hate it, but it is undeniable that "The Last of Us Part 2" is an excellent game, full of some very immersive experiences and mechanics. This is a direct continuation of the first game, which took place a few years later, because both Ellie and Joel are quite mature.

It is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where carnivorous zombies born from fungi roam the ground. However, just like the first game, the focus is on its characters, namely Ellie and Abby, being described as a new opponent.

Without destroying any content, the story culminates in an anxiety-stimulating but cathartic climax, which is part of the reason why the game is so divided, including some unexpected story beats. Whether you are here for stories, games or zombies, you will embark on a journey.

Best Role-Playing Game: ZA/UM Disco Elysium – The Final Cut (PS4)

Pros

• Excellent story
• Stunning visual effects, dubbing and environment
• Investigation-driven gameplay

Cons

• Not as free as other role-playing games

Some people may call Disco Elysium a point-and-click adventure game. Although this may be an accurate description, there is more to it. The game can best be described as an investigative role-playing game, but its strengths lie in the story, characters, and world construction.

Although the player character remains relatively fixed, there are plenty of customizations available in terms of attributes, skills, and personality upgrades. Every change you make will affect how the NPC and the world perceive you. There are also many ways to choose, whether it is through unique dialogue, story selection or in-game action.

One disadvantage is that, unlike similar RPGs, the freedom to interact with the world is not high. For example, you cannot steal items around or attack NPCs. The combat system is not traditional, and it takes some time to adapt. All combat encounters are filtered through dialogue, skill and personality checks.

Nevertheless, it is still one of the best RPG games on any system including PS4. The title did have some errors and major issues at the time of its release, and these issues have since been fixed through updates and "Final Cut" re-releases.

Best Action: Assassin's Creed: Valhalla (PS4)

Pros

• The protagonist is the assassin Viking villain
• A beautiful and cruel open world
• The player’s home is back with the settlement

Cons

• Some iconic AC themes are missing
• Unlock new skills through collectibles

Assassin's Creed: Valhalla has learned most of the game mechanics and experience from previous games (Origins and Odyssey) and upgraded them to 11. This time, you are a deadly Viking assassin, wandering the coast of Anglo-Saxon England. You can raid, explore, build player settlements and more.

The same smooth battle system as the previous game returns, albeit with different skills and customization options. The skills must first be unlocked by finding collectibles (called the book of knowledge) in the world. Unfortunately, this means that certain skills won’t be discovered until late in the game, especially if you don’t explore as much as possible.

It also introduces a unique node-based navigation system, where things to do and see in the world are displayed as color notifications on the compass. Just follow the mysterious nodes to discover new equipment, missions, side events and more. Overall, the game combines classic RPG, action, stealth and open world genres.

Best Horror Film: Capcom Resident Evil Village (PS4)

Pros

• More combat effectiveness than the predecessor
• Unique environment
• Incredible audio

Cons

• Sometimes too easy
• Mediocre boss fight

The new kid in this block is Resident Evil 8 Village, a direct continuation of Resident Evil 7 Resident Evil. Although you don’t have to play the previous game to enter this game, it’s best to play this way. . The game takes place a few years after RE7, allowing players to return to the role of Ethan Winters. His baby girl has been kidnapped and you are going to get her back.

If you have followed the marketing activities of the game and like Alcina Demetrescu, you only need to play the game. One of the deeper themes is unpredictability, and this game will leave you in suspense. Compared with RE7, there are a lot of popular battles. The same item collection and puzzle mechanism are all here, and you will further explore the world in the village. 

This is a survival horror game with action arcade elements, especially in subsequent games.

Best Remake: Electronic Arts Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PS4)

Pros

• This is better mass effect
• Excellent visual effects
• Contains most of the DLC for all three games

Cons

• Lack of Pinnacle DLC
• No multiplayer mode

Many fans have been waiting for the Mass Effect series to be re-released with updated visual effects and simplified mechanics, and this is exactly what happened in Mass Effect: Legend Edition.

It includes all three games in the series, as well as almost all downloadable content, except for Pinnacle Station, the first game. Multiplayer games are also excluded from Mass Effect 3, so this is a single-player experience only.

If you have never played a mass effect game before, then you must feast your eyes. This is a sci-fi, anomalous role-playing game with some incredible characters, an excellent story, and some interesting but weird real-time battles. The developer has fixed many potential problems of the original game. Certain events or cutscenes can be skipped to make the game smoother.

FAQ

Are PS4 games compatible with PS5?

Yes, almost all games are compatible with PS5.

What type of game should I play?

This is a difficult question to answer because everyone has different preferences.

It depends on what kind of game you like best and how long you plan to spend playing this game. If you like deep stories, please choose content like "The Last of Us Part Two", "God of War" or "Death Stranding". If you want to explore the open world, then play "Soul of Tsushima" or Red Dead Redemption 2. If you like family fun, try Overcooked 2!

What is the difference between remake and remake?

In recent years, there has been an influx of games ported to non-native systems, the most common of which is the addition of slightly modified graphics. But what constitutes a remake and a remake? The key difference here is whether the studio rebuilt the game from scratch. For example, "Doom" (2016) is a true remake because it is completely reimagined for modern hardware. On the other hand, games like the BioShock series are just polished versions of the same game originally released for Xbox, and they already exist on platforms such as Nintendo Switch and PS4.

Need to pay attention to what aspects of PS4 games

Gameplay/Story

Games usually contain story-based experiences, such as cutscenes and linear games, as well as various mechanisms such as combat, production, and exploration. When choosing a new game, these two elements are related to the most important factor. Think about what kind of experience you want-a rich, story-driven single player game, or an online multiplayer battle/action game.

Graphics

Visual effects provide immersion, second only to audio. The more realistic and tough the graphics, the more surreal the experience. This is not to say that the lively graphics are not beautiful. Check out Hades, Cuphead, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Spiritfarer, Okami and more.

score

Just like movie ratings, ESRB game ratings tell you the level of maturity that the content is suitable for. For example, "Youth Grade T", "Everyone Grade E", and "Adult Grade M". Each game has an alphabetical rating distributed by ERSB, which is included in the physical packaging and digital store listings. Mature games are suitable for players aged 17 and above.
