Honestly the ps4 was my first PlayStation experience so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I love how even tho the new generation is starting with ps5, a lot of those games are coming to ps4, showing Sony isn’t ready to leave ps4 behind
That's how it is with most generations. They will support the old one 1-2 years after the new one comes out. It just makes good business sense. There is a huge user base o. Ps4 thatwomt transition to the ps5 for a while. They don't want to leave 115milion potential game sales by isolating their game on ps5 which will only have roughly 2 million users by the end of this year.
I’m assuming you’re a tad younger. But if you ever can, get s PS1 and PS2... some of the best adventure games on the 2 and some of the best fighting games ever for the 2 As for the new games, PS5 can play MOST PS4 games is what we’re hearing. So you can possibly get cheaper, older games and then just play them on the 5
Perosna 5 was a game I saw and said “that looks like the best game ever made” and then I got to play Royal through a few months later and said “that was the best game ever made”
Isn't it just the same game with a few extras and another character? I've got persona 5 and I love it but when I heard of Royal I was just kind of pissed. It kind of seems like they released a game while they were still working on it and then once they finished everything they released it again. Like it would have made more sense as a dlc? Not as another full priced game. Or am I misunderstanding what Persona 5 Royal is?
@@silverenphoenix New confidants and extras, yeah, but there's a bit more to it than just that. New personas added, two new arcana added (consequently some personas changed arcana), changed some of the dungeon layouts here and there, added more things to do in Mementos, loads of additional events, Akechi's confidant was COMPLETELY changed, a few extra weeks added on to the end if you meet some unlock conditions, a new location added to the map, a thing called the Thieves' Den which is basically one huge celebration of all things Persona 5, etc. When you start out the game, aside from the intro, the new things are few and far between. But as you progress through the game, you'll encounter more and more new additions, until you reach a point where it's pretty much ALL new. Some of the stuff could have been DLC, sure, but a lot of other stuff really couldn't without rendering your save file completely unusable, considering the changed persona arcanas and Akechi's confidant. Speaking of DLC, all the DLC for the original Persona 5 release are available for free with Royal.
@@silverenphoenix Yeah, I understand :) Wait for a time when it's been a while since you've played it and you're just itching to jump back in and relive the story. That's the best way to go about it, through my experience.
@DJ Akademiks Supreme Hoodie the very last one for sure. The story beats and music and everything leading up to that point is one of the best moments in all of Megami Tensei.
@@gamebro5991 lol it’s not underrated. It’s a fantastic game but it’s gotten all of the praise that it deserves. It sold incredibly and very few people hated it. It’s not overrated but definitely not underrated.
I really like the first half. The first driving section in Madagascar and the auction house fight is great. But I don't think the second half is as good though. The flashback parts where you have to search the house is just tedious, and I don't like how you're stuck on an island the entire second half as well. And while the first driving part feels open ended, the second one is a lot more claustrophobic.
My favorites: 1. God of War 2. Bloodborne 3. Last of Us 2 4. Spider-Man 5. Uncharted 4 6. Final Fantasy 7 Remake 7. Ghost of Tsushima Still need to play Persona, Days Gone and Until Dawn.
Forza Horizon 4 is a really good racing game, though I don't think Jirard would ever touch it. Sunset Overdrive, Ryse and Quantum Break exist too, I guess.
You named so many great ones and on top of that there are still so many more. Ratchet and Clank, Infamous Second Son, Detroit: Become Human, to name a few. PlayStation did a great job this gen!!

Persona 5 definitely has become my favorite JRPG of all time. A sheer masterpiece in my eyes, and Royal went further beyond. Glad you were able to get a lot of enjoyment out of it!
Fuck yes. I can just see myself getting a ps5 and the first game I play being Persona 5R for a third goaround. It's unbelievable how amazing that game is.
@@AustrianReaper That's exactly what I'm doing tomorrow lmao, I usually don't replay games once I've finished them (especially if they're over 100 hours long lol) and have never been a big fan of JRPGs but P5R goes above and beyond in so many levels that it ended up being my favorite game on PS4. It's such an amazing ride that I can't wait to experience again
Its a testament to how good the game is that it drove him crazy and still got the #3 spot. And R is even better, a fantastic game really, definitely has a spot in my top 10 of all time.
Not a bad list at all. Here’s my top ten: 10 Death Stranding 9 Days Gone 8 Detroit: Become Human 7 Horizon Zero Dawn 6 The Last Of Us: Part II 5 God Of War 4 Spider-Man 3 Uncharted 4: A Thieves End 2 Final Fantasy VII Remake 1 Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal

The underrated Judgment, spin-off of the Yakuza series, missing representation in this comment section I’d replace a handful of games and slap it there instead
@@AWESOME666ist That's just ONE of many other games the PS4 has. FF7R is a timed exclusive,however, even without this game there's still TONS of other amazing games out there for the PS4.
When "The Stranger" (we'll continue hiding his name) says "I thought you would be bigger." and the twist in that line turns out to be the heaviest foreshadow ever, I was hit in the face so viciously (and I literally knew the Norse myth the twist is using!).
As a kid that grew up with this generation I feel like I missed a bunch of previous generation games but was able to get serviceable to absolute masterpieces in this one, I may have to be more careful when choosing games to buy, but I'm glad I got these experiences.
Yep. But it's technically not exclusive to the PS4 as it's Cross Buy with the PS3 and PS4 Vita versions. On a similar note, Persona 5 is also technically not an exclusive because it also has a PS3 version, but Persona 5 Royal makes up for it by being PS4 exclusive.
I’m glad you included FF7R. Absolutely loved the game too. It’s a fantastic game and made me rethink what a remake could be. The story and characters are engaging and memorable; it was a joy experiencing them. Also the gameplay is one of the most unique combat systems I’ve seen in a game. It still has some kinks that I hope are ironed out in the next few games, but they have a great base here. Can’t wait for the future parts.
@@DrViperVideos Holy shit. The sad part here is you'll never realize the only person you just asked that second question is yourself. I hope you have a more positive outlook on life someday.
What a generation! When you look back like this it’s amazing to see how much this console gave us. Here’s to many more classics arriving on the ps5. Whatever is happening in your lives, stay safe and game on people 👍🏻
hey just wanted to say you inspired me to try and complete persona 5 royal and i have almost 900 hours but i will say you helped me take a break so i wouldn’t hate the game i just wanted to say thx u for making amazing content
1. God of War 2. Last of us 2 3. Zero Horizont 4. Days Gone 5. Ghost of tsusihma 6. Uncharted 4 7. Uncharted 1-3 r 8. Shadow of the colossus r 9. Okami R 10. Yakuza 6
i know how controversial it is but i love The Last of Us Part II so much. The story honestly meant so much to me and had me invested the entire time. The gameplay is also next level and so satisfying. It’s a shame not everyone enjoyed it, I just hope Part III brings the fans back together.
My favorite exclusive is infamous second son. This game is so good and gameplay is so satisfying, the visuals are great and the story is fun honestly, a fantastic PS4 game in every way. It also used the features of the DualShock 4 in ways that most games on the platform don’t which I think is a great thing. In my opinion, the best games on the PS4 are games that utilize most of not all of the system’s capabilities. Games like infamous and gravity rush are some of my favorites for that reason alone. This games is basically Sony’s version of super Mario 64 because it was one of the first major exclusives that did a great showcasing what the PS4 can do.
One PS4 exclusive that deserves more love is Gravity Rush 2. It's a sequel to the PS Vita title (which thankfully got ported to the PS4) and it's even better. There's a lot more personality, more content with a bigger map, and refined gameplay that made gravity shifting so much fun. I also had so much fun with taking photos outside of missions. Kat continues to be one of the best video game characters ever due to how lovable and selfless she is. The soundtrack by Kohei Tanaka is breathtaking. The comic book-inspired art direction is beautiful. It's my favorite PS4 game and one of my favorite games of all time. Go play Gravity Rush, folks.
I platinumed Gravity Rush part 1. It was very enjoyable, but the best part of the game was the side missions and challenges instead of the actual story. Which was also pretty good, the story was pretty captivating, but the gameplay was lackluster outside of missions.
Somehow, the PS4 still feels new to me. Playing PS1 as a toddler, PS2 as a kid, and PS3 as a pre-teen, PS4 was the first console I was old enough to fully anticipate and get excited for. For me the PS4 will always be the "new" generation in a weird way... can't wait to see what the PS5 will bring.
@@casual3123 eh, the way you wrote it makes it seem like you're doing the ever present "Haru doesn't get enough screen time" joke only with her character arc.
@@edmg7 Oh wait I read your reply wrong. I was saying she doesn't. Okumara's Palace is very much more of Morgona's arc. However I'm glad they changed things in Royal to make Haru a more important part of that arc
*My Top 5 PS4 Games of the Generation:* 5. Marvel’s Spider-Man 4. The Last of Us Part 2 3. God of War 2. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End 1. Final Fantasy VII Remake The PS4 truly is one of the greatest game console legacies of all time, as well as the true second coming of the PS2. Sleep well fair prince. The PS5 shall continue the legend in your honor.
It's still surreal we were all playing it a few months ago. I fired it up again recently and it hit me again that FF7R exists and is still just as overwhelming (in a good way)
Persona 5 Royal is my first (and thus far only) game I've completed, and as a player of P3 & P4, P5 has a special place in my heart because its tone and message resonated strong with me.
Sony KILLED with exclusives this gen. My top 10, in no specific order, would be. Persona 5 God of War (2018) Last of Us Part II Uncharted 4 Shadow of the Colossus Remake Ratchet and Clank (2016) Horizon: Zero Dawn Until Dawn Infamous: Second Son Marvel's Spider-Man
Bloodborne just misses out, before I get roasted lol. Probably would've replace it with R&C, but I never played a R&C game before the movie tie-in and loved it.
I was hoping God of War (2018) would be somewhere on this list. Was surprised it took the #1 spot. I was one of the people who bought it in the first three days and played it for a good two weeks straight. Somehow, I didn't have anything spoiled for me. So when Kratos went back home for story related reasons, I was genuinely shocked at why. Here's hoping the next God of War game is great and that the payoff of a vision of the future pays off.
Last Guardian and Bloodborne were the only reasons I bought a PS4. The other games in this list were great, but I never would have picked up the console without those two!
I’m really glad that your distancing yourself from persona 5 Royal, I’m sure when you come back and play it you’ll be blown away by the new content and how they fixed the nuances of the original
Fav games Uncharted 4 Titanfall 2 The last of us Ghost of tsushima Rise of the Tomb raider Days gone Havent played God of war and Spiderman jet but when im going to, they will probably be on the list to.
God of War is probably my new favourite game ever. I nearly platinumed it (I couldn't be bothered finding the ravens). My one criticism is that it could have done with some more enemy types (a lot of recycling at points) other than that it was a flawless experience that raised the bar for gaming.
Of all these games, Uncharted 4 and God of War are the only ones I've played... while I'm ashamed to admit that I bought Bloodborne but it's sitting untouched on my shelf since then.
My top 3- 3- Spider Man 2- God Of War (really surprisingly good) 1- Ghost Of Tsushima ( I love open world games but damn I loved God Of War so damn much!)
My top 10 favourite ps4 exclusives: 10. Ratchet and Clank Reboot 9. Uncharted Lost Legacy 8. Marvels Spider-Man 7. Until Dawn 6. Horizon Zero Dawn 5. Bloodborne 4. God of War 3. Ghost of Tsushima 2. Uncharted 4: A thief's end 1. Persona 5 Royal I didn't end up playing every exclusive but I will hopefully get to them in the future.
Digimon: Hacker’s Memory was on PS4 & Vita as well. If you’re into Persona 5 then you should try it out sometime Jirard. It’s not as complex but with experience like yours it’s still a fun time to complete all-around.
I will miss this generation, hope the next one will be just as great.

Honestly the ps4 was my first PlayStation experience so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I love how even tho the new generation is starting with ps5, a lot of those games are coming to ps4, showing Sony isn’t ready to leave ps4 behind
You really never had a PS2?
All of the playstation consoles have had some incredible games. Definitely worth checking out if you ever get the chance
That's how it is with most generations. They will support the old one 1-2 years after the new one comes out. It just makes good business sense. There is a huge user base o. Ps4 thatwomt transition to the ps5 for a while. They don't want to leave 115milion potential game sales by isolating their game on ps5 which will only have roughly 2 million users by the end of this year.
I’m assuming you’re a tad younger. But if you ever can, get s PS1 and PS2... some of the best adventure games on the 2 and some of the best fighting games ever for the 2
As for the new games, PS5 can play MOST PS4 games is what we’re hearing. So you can possibly get cheaper, older games and then just play them on the 5
Jirard, what you said about FFVII Remake was spot on! I feel the EXACT same way about it! I just hope they make another Uncharted game on the PS5.
I hope it's a spin-off though cuz they ended Nate's story so well.
God of War is absolutely incredible. Can't wait to play through again on a ps5.
And with the new sequel announced God of War is looking 👍
Gow Ragnarok is going to be amazing tooo
Perosna 5 was a game I saw and said “that looks like the best game ever made” and then I got to play Royal through a few months later and said “that was the best game ever made”
Easily in not only my top 10 games of the generation, but of all time.
Isn't it just the same game with a few extras and another character? I've got persona 5 and I love it but when I heard of Royal I was just kind of pissed. It kind of seems like they released a game while they were still working on it and then once they finished everything they released it again. Like it would have made more sense as a dlc? Not as another full priced game. Or am I misunderstanding what Persona 5 Royal is?
@@silverenphoenix New confidants and extras, yeah, but there's a bit more to it than just that. New personas added, two new arcana added (consequently some personas changed arcana), changed some of the dungeon layouts here and there, added more things to do in Mementos, loads of additional events, Akechi's confidant was COMPLETELY changed, a few extra weeks added on to the end if you meet some unlock conditions, a new location added to the map, a thing called the Thieves' Den which is basically one huge celebration of all things Persona 5, etc. When you start out the game, aside from the intro, the new things are few and far between. But as you progress through the game, you'll encounter more and more new additions, until you reach a point where it's pretty much ALL new.
Some of the stuff could have been DLC, sure, but a lot of other stuff really couldn't without rendering your save file completely unusable, considering the changed persona arcanas and Akechi's confidant.
Speaking of DLC, all the DLC for the original Persona 5 release are available for free with Royal.
@@Road_to_Dawn Thanks for the clarification. I might buy it when it's on sale but I'm honestly still kind of sore they did this.
@@silverenphoenix Yeah, I understand :) Wait for a time when it's been a while since you've played it and you're just itching to jump back in and relive the story. That's the best way to go about it, through my experience.
Persona 5 Royal and Bloodborne are my favorites.
@DJ Akademiks Supreme Hoodie the very last one for sure. The story beats and music and everything leading up to that point is one of the best moments in all of Megami Tensei.
@@PLANTBAT It's too bad I Believe lasted for all of 5 seconds as I ran up the stairs...
@@PLANTBAT I liked kamoshidas more since in felt like such a imaculate way to kick of the story, but the last one with I believe was really hype
Really tried hard to like P5.
The two worst, that says a lot..
Im currently playing Ghost Of Tsushima again. Amazing game, TLOU 1&2, God Of War and God Of War Ragnarok as well as Days Gone.
My favorite is definitely Uncharted 4. Probably my favorite game ever
Very underrated game, easily one of the best storylines I've ever witnessed
@@gamebro5991 what do you mean underrated? that game is praised like hell, and rightfully so.
@@gamebro5991 lol it’s not underrated. It’s a fantastic game but it’s gotten all of the praise that it deserves. It sold incredibly and very few people hated it. It’s not overrated but definitely not underrated.
I really like the first half. The first driving section in Madagascar and the auction house fight is great. But I don't think the second half is as good though. The flashback parts where you have to search the house is just tedious, and I don't like how you're stuck on an island the entire second half as well. And while the first driving part feels open ended, the second one is a lot more claustrophobic.
@bartolemeu malfeitor
@Hamid Mehrdad
The reason I said I underrated is because everyone I've met said uncharted 2 is the best uncharted,
My favorites:
1. God of War
2. Bloodborne
3. Last of Us 2
4. Spider-Man
5. Uncharted 4
6. Final Fantasy 7 Remake
7. Ghost of Tsushima
Still need to play Persona, Days Gone and Until Dawn.
Cant wait for your "Top 2 Xbox Exclusives", I wonder if Halo or Gears will get number one?
Forza Horizon 4 is a really good racing game, though I don't think Jirard would ever touch it. Sunset Overdrive, Ryse and Quantum Break exist too, I guess.

You named so many great ones and on top of that there are still so many more. Ratchet and Clank, Infamous Second Son, Detroit: Become Human, to name a few. PlayStation did a great job this gen!!

Persona 5 definitely has become my favorite JRPG of all time. A sheer masterpiece in my eyes, and Royal went further beyond.
Glad you were able to get a lot of enjoyment out of it!
Fuck yes. I can just see myself getting a ps5 and the first game I play being Persona 5R for a third goaround. It's unbelievable how amazing that game is.
@@AustrianReaper That's exactly what I'm doing tomorrow lmao, I usually don't replay games once I've finished them (especially if they're over 100 hours long lol) and have never been a big fan of JRPGs but P5R goes above and beyond in so many levels that it ended up being my favorite game on PS4. It's such an amazing ride that I can't wait to experience again
Its a testament to how good the game is that it drove him crazy and still got the #3 spot. And R is even better, a fantastic game really, definitely has a spot in my top 10 of all time.
Fletch What are the other JRPGs you have played?
Do i have to play P5 before going for P5R?
Not a bad list at all. Here’s my top ten:
10 Death Stranding
9 Days Gone
8 Detroit: Become Human
7 Horizon Zero Dawn
6 The Last Of Us: Part II
5 God Of War
4 Spider-Man
3 Uncharted 4: A Thieves End

Death Stranding is on pc lol
@@LeoStep93 So is Horizon, what's your point?
@@LeoStep93 also FF7 REMAKE will be in some months
Persona 5 was my first JRPG. Best game of all time
Considering the material it's working with and what it's trying to accomplish, Bloodborne has my vote as the best game ever made.
It is the best game ever Made in my opinion
Facts
WOO! Horizon Zero Dawn represent!!
My top 3 in order: Bloodborne, Nioh 2 and God of war
I see that Nioh love! I got it too. 😁
123 or 321?
@@sentientmustache8360 123
You 100% play dark souls alot. These all have similar mechanics and play similar. I ain't mad with that tho as I'm one myself
1. Bloodborne

3. Horizon Zero Dawn
4. Ghost of Tsushima
5. The last of Us part 2
6: Spider-Man PS4
7. Persona 5
8. Shadow of Colossus
9. FF 7 remake
10. Death stranding
The underrated Judgment, spin-off of the Yakuza series, missing representation in this comment section
I’d replace a handful of games and slap it there instead
Judgment deserve more love
Hell yeah my dude
If it’s me, i replaced Days Gone with Judgement.
It definitely be number 4 on my list
I liked the detective influences mixed with yakuza combat, the story and the cast, yagami was a fun protag. one of my favorite yakuza games
I am very glad GoW made it to the top, that game surpassed every expectation I had for it both in gameplay and storytelling.
Just masterpieces on that list - sony owned this generation !
FF7R is my fave game of this generation, can't wait for part 2 ❤
It’s a timed exclusive though
@@AWESOME666ist That's just ONE of many other games the PS4 has. FF7R is a timed exclusive,however, even without this game there's still TONS of other amazing games out there for the PS4.
@@AWESOME666ist There are TONS of other amazing games
My personal top 3 is
1. The Last of Us 2
2. God of War
3. Shadow of the Colossus
When "The Stranger" (we'll continue hiding his name) says "I thought you would be bigger." and the twist in that line turns out to be the heaviest foreshadow ever, I was hit in the face so viciously (and I literally knew the Norse myth the twist is using!).
Right?! My jaw dropped when we figured out who The Stranger was after.
Marvels Spider-Man is the only game to ever make me cry
The ending with Doc Oc was epic
gay
For me that was Uncharted 4.
FFXV for me.
Have you played the first Last of Us?
Last of us 2, death stranding, ghost of tsushima, days gone, spider man ps4, horzion zero dawn, until dawn uncharted 4, are my favorite
TLOU2 has the worst writing of any game this generation.
@Luca KELLY Hahahaha so true
As a kid that grew up with this generation I feel like I missed a bunch of previous generation games but was able to get serviceable to absolute masterpieces in this one, I may have to be more careful when choosing games to buy, but I'm glad I got these experiences.
Is Resogun that shooter showed in the clips? Looked interesting.
Yep. But it's technically not exclusive to the PS4 as it's Cross Buy with the PS3 and PS4 Vita versions. On a similar note, Persona 5 is also technically not an exclusive because it also has a PS3 version, but Persona 5 Royal makes up for it by being PS4 exclusive.
Resogun is the best game on ps4. period.
@@lnsflare1 you explained how Resogun in not a PS exclusive by confirming it is PS exclusive
*congratulations, you played yourself*
@@buggytheprophet1017 It's not a *PS4* exclusive, which is what this video is about. It's definitely an excellent PlayStation ecosystem exclusive.
@@lnsflare1 it was made for ps4, but the ps3 could also run it
So many amazing games. Love these videos so much.
I’m glad you included FF7R. Absolutely loved the game too. It’s a fantastic game and made me rethink what a remake could be. The story and characters are engaging and memorable; it was a joy experiencing them. Also the gameplay is one of the most unique combat systems I’ve seen in a game. It still has some kinks that I hope are ironed out in the next few games, but they have a great base here.
Can’t wait for the future parts.
My favorites ps4 games are The Last of Us Part ll, Uncharted 4, Blooborne, Nioh 2, FF7 Remake, Ghost, Persona 5 and Spider-Man
You like the last of us 2? You sad sad person with awful taste..how ever do you live your life
@@DrViperVideos jesus christ man. No need for that hateful shit around here
My top 5 are probably Shadow of the Colossus remaster, The Last of Us Part II, God of War, Spider-Man, and Bloodborne.
@@DrViperVideos Holy shit. The sad part here is you'll never realize the only person you just asked that second question is yourself. I hope you have a more positive outlook on life someday.
Hell of a list! I'd definitely add Horizon ZD though :)
What a generation! When you look back like this it’s amazing to see how much this console gave us. Here’s to many more classics arriving on the ps5. Whatever is happening in your lives, stay safe and game on people 👍🏻
hey just wanted to say you inspired me to try and complete persona 5 royal and i have almost 900 hours but i will say you helped me take a break so i wouldn’t hate the game i just wanted to say thx u for making amazing content
God of War and Persona 5 were amazing but holy shit Bloodborne is probably my favorite game of the last decade
Fear the old blood
1. God of War
2. Last of us 2
3. Zero Horizont
4. Days Gone
5. Ghost of tsusihma
6. Uncharted 4
7. Uncharted 1-3 r
8. Shadow of the colossus r
9. Okami R
10. Yakuza 6
i know how controversial it is but i love The Last of Us Part II so much. The story honestly meant so much to me and had me invested the entire time. The gameplay is also next level and so satisfying. It’s a shame not everyone enjoyed it, I just hope Part III brings the fans back together.
it was really hard to swallow. i dont see myself watching abbys sequel even on youtube.
@@mochichote They should just go clean slate with part III and mostly ignore the characters we've met already besides possibly cameos.
Horizon and God of War are probably my top two exclusive games for this generation of Ps4.
No one ever talks about Gravity Rush. This serie is really worth. Just give it a try or watch gameplay. You won’t regret it
I played it on PS Now but I haven't gone back to it after I put PS Now away
My favorite exclusive is infamous second son. This game is so good and gameplay is so satisfying, the visuals are great and the story is fun honestly, a fantastic PS4 game in every way. It also used the features of the DualShock 4 in ways that most games on the platform don’t which I think is a great thing. In my opinion, the best games on the PS4 are games that utilize most of not all of the system’s capabilities. Games like infamous and gravity rush are some of my favorites for that reason alone. This games is basically Sony’s version of super Mario 64 because it was one of the first major exclusives that did a great showcasing what the PS4 can do.
My favorites are Bloodborne and Gravity Rush 2.
Hopes for gravity rush 3
God Gravity Rush games are soo good and underrated. Such an amazing lore/world.
Kat is one of my favorite female leads.
@@emeraldnoir7099 %100 agreed
Man the writing of this video is phenomenal! Good job!
One PS4 exclusive that deserves more love is Gravity Rush 2. It's a sequel to the PS Vita title (which thankfully got ported to the PS4) and it's even better. There's a lot more personality, more content with a bigger map, and refined gameplay that made gravity shifting so much fun. I also had so much fun with taking photos outside of missions. Kat continues to be one of the best video game characters ever due to how lovable and selfless she is. The soundtrack by Kohei Tanaka is breathtaking. The comic book-inspired art direction is beautiful.
It's my favorite PS4 game and one of my favorite games of all time. Go play Gravity Rush, folks.
I think the weakest aspect of the game is the combat otherwise a really fun game
I platinumed Gravity Rush part 1. It was very enjoyable, but the best part of the game was the side missions and challenges instead of the actual story. Which was also pretty good, the story was pretty captivating, but the gameplay was lackluster outside of missions.
Gravity Rush 2 is great, but I think Nier Automata is better.
Also I personally prefer Wipeout 2048 and Everybody's Golf PS4 too
@@unicorntomboy9736 I prefer all three of those to Gravity Rush 2 as well pal.
Somehow, the PS4 still feels new to me. Playing PS1 as a toddler, PS2 as a kid, and PS3 as a pre-teen, PS4 was the first console I was old enough to fully anticipate and get excited for. For me the PS4 will always be the "new" generation in a weird way... can't wait to see what the PS5 will bring.
I can’t wait to play all these games on PS5 and first one on this list will definitely be Ghost of Tsushima
It was BORING.
The game is AMAZING! Can’t wait for the sequel bro! 👌
I have massive respect for your list and thanks for completing games throughout this entire generation Jirard 🙏
You forgot to mention that God of War (2018) is getting a sequel for the PS5
Still can't believe the number of top tier exclusives the PS4 gave us, can't wait to see what the PS5 has!
"Every single main character has thier own arc!"
Haru: "..."
Flower girl
But Haru does have an arc
@@edmg7 That's the joke
@@casual3123 eh, the way you wrote it makes it seem like you're doing the ever present "Haru doesn't get enough screen time" joke only with her character arc.
@@edmg7 Oh wait I read your reply wrong. I was saying she doesn't. Okumara's Palace is very much more of Morgona's arc. However I'm glad they changed things in Royal to make Haru a more important part of that arc
*My Top 5 PS4 Games of the Generation:*
5. Marvel’s Spider-Man
4. The Last of Us Part 2
3. God of War
2. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
1. Final Fantasy VII Remake
The PS4 truly is one of the greatest game console legacies of all time, as well as the true second coming of the PS2. Sleep well fair prince. The PS5 shall continue the legend in your honor.
Not really, the PS2 had a better overall library and way more high quality exclusives as well, like Final Fantasy, Okami, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear.
So glad Final Fantasy 7 Remake ranked so high, it's definitely my #1. Just an incredible experience
It's still surreal we were all playing it a few months ago. I fired it up again recently and it hit me again that FF7R exists and is still just as overwhelming (in a good way)
My list would be
5. Ghost of tsushima
4. GOW
3. Spiderman
2. P5R
1. Bloodborne
Great list. A lot of these I played this year including Persona5 in August and FF7 currently
Persona 5 Royal is my first (and thus far only) game I've completed, and as a player of P3 & P4, P5 has a special place in my heart because its tone and message resonated strong with me.
1) Uncharted 4; 2) Bloodborne; 3) God of War
@Iron Chef Palm Beach Yeah, I prefer the previous God of War to be honest. I liked God of War PS4 but it's not a masterpiece.
@@TheShark94700 God of war 3 is the best god of war IMO, but for me bloodborne is the best game ever made.
@@aliathi3354 I prefer the first and second GoW over the rest.
Sony KILLED with exclusives this gen. My top 10, in no specific order, would be.
Persona 5
God of War (2018)
Last of Us Part II
Uncharted 4
Shadow of the Colossus Remake
Ratchet and Clank (2016)
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Until Dawn
Infamous: Second Son
Marvel's Spider-Man
Bloodborne just misses out, before I get roasted lol. Probably would've replace it with R&C, but I never played a R&C game before the movie tie-in and loved it.
I was hoping God of War (2018) would be somewhere on this list. Was surprised it took the #1 spot. I was one of the people who bought it in the first three days and played it for a good two weeks straight. Somehow, I didn't have anything spoiled for me. So when Kratos went back home for story related reasons, I was genuinely shocked at why. Here's hoping the next God of War game is great and that the payoff of a vision of the future pays off.
Last Guardian and Bloodborne were the only reasons I bought a PS4. The other games in this list were great, but I never would have picked up the console without those two!
how the hell did you make this whole list and not mention TLOU2 at all?
He did. He mentioned it at the very end
I’m really glad that your distancing yourself from persona 5 Royal, I’m sure when you come back and play it you’ll be blown away by the new content and how they fixed the nuances of the original
I'm surprised that Everybody's Golf PS4 and Shadow of the Colossus remake are not on this list
Not getting a ps5 anytime soon...still so many great games to play on the ps4!
My top 3
1. God of war
2. Ghost of Tsushima
3. Spiderman
Horizon: Zero Dawn is my all time favorite game. Nothing will ever come close to how amazing that story is. (Personal Opinion)
Same
If you want another great PS4 exclusive, Jirard, check out Dreams! It may be weird to complete, but it's so fantastic, I think you'll enjoy it!
Tfw the PS5 already came out and I still haven't played 95% of the best PS4 games
You can play all the games on this list on ps5
I got a PS4 yesterday because being behind a generation is the best financial decision I've ever made. I'm having a lot of fun with it
Finally someone that appreciates Sons Of Anarchy, words can’t express how phenomenal that show is.
Fav games
Uncharted 4
Titanfall 2
The last of us
Ghost of tsushima
Rise of the Tomb raider

Havent played God of war and Spiderman jet but when im going to, they will probably be on the list to.
Honorable mentions: nier automata, death stranding, nioh 2, shadow of the colossus and last of us remake
Nier automata isn't a ps4 exclusive but it's a deadly old game
God of War is probably my new favourite game ever. I nearly platinumed it (I couldn't be bothered finding the ravens). My one criticism is that it could have done with some more enemy types (a lot of recycling at points) other than that it was a flawless experience that raised the bar for gaming.
For me:
Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal
The Last of Us Part II
God of War
Spider-Man

Digimon: Hacker’s Memory was on PS4 & Vita as well. If you’re into Persona 5 then you should try it out sometime Jirard. It’s not as complex but with experience like yours it’s still a fun time to complete all-around.
