[Obelisk92]

1. Persona 5

3. Bloodborne
4. God of War
5. Uncharted 4

4) Uncharted 4
5) Spiderman
6)Days Gone
7) Death Stranding

Tough choice picking between so many stellar games...

[UnSelf]

Replace GOW with Horizon

[starchild]

For me it goes something like this:

1. Ghost of Tsushima
2. God of War
3. Horizon Zero Dawn
4. Nioh
5. Bloodborne
6. Shadow of the Colossus remake
7. Spiderman
8. Uncharted 4
9. Days Gone
10. Infamous Second Son

[Ready4nxtgen]

How do u not have ghost of tsushima on the list? Lmao. Cant take this ranking serious

[AirJohnston]

God of War, TLOU Part 2, and Bloodborne are my top 3 easy but it’s hard for me to say which is better

[TheKingKratos]

Swap Horizon and Uncharted 4 with Spiderman and Ghost and you have the same taste as i am

[medman]

The games we got this gen for the ps4 are sooooo great, and the thing that astonishes me is how good they look and play on the weak for 2013 jaguar cpu and mediocre gpu. Sony's first party developers are amazing, and deserve all the credit.

I truly cannot fathom what the next God of War is going to look like, or the next Naughty Dog game. I'm sure Horizon Forbidden West will be spectacular. I am beyond ready for the ps5.

[Minute Man 721]

Second Son does not belong on this list. Festival of Blood was better that SS.

[N2NOther]

It belongs in my list and Festival of Blood isn’t a PS4 game.

[Minute Man 721]

SS was just a tech demo

[N2NOther]

No it wasn’t. At all.

[DrDeath]

Agreed. The game was meh. Great graphics and movement tho. Ghost is way better

[DarXyde]

Second Son wasn't a bad game. I'd probably put it in the top 20 Playstation 4 exclusives, but no higher than that.

The ability to use different powers was cool, but I still think inFamous 2 was the best in the series.

That said, Second Son was very beautiful and holds up quite well. I just felt it was a step back for the series, but that's me.

Enjoyable title for sure. But I would say it was not the best inFamous has to offer.

[lellkay]

It wasn't though

[shuvam09]

No R&C, Until Dawn, Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian. WTH?

[monkey602]

I'd probably say

1. Bloodborne
2. God of War
3. Driveclub / Bikes
4. SpiderMan
5. Horizon :ZD
6. Nioh
7. Persona 5
8. Uncharted 4
9. Death Stranding
10. The Last of Us 2

Gravity Rush 2 & Until Dawn get honourable mentions

I've yet to play Tshushima, Days Gone, Last Guardian or Lost Legacy

[darthv72]

big props for driveclub. I dont think that gets enough credit since GTS is the current big driving game.

[monkey602]

I adored it. Spent so many hours trying to best friends times and corners etc. It was insanely addictive, looked stunning and I couldn't have been happier when they announced the Bikes add on.

The VR game nearly made me sick though Ha I drifted a corner and almost vomited

[kayoss]

Still play Driveclub til this day. Its my go to racing game when i want to get away from simulation like GT.

[excaliburps]

Go play Ghost ASAP! It'll be part of that list for sure.

[monkey602]

I actually have it, installed and updated ready to go. Just need a few more upgrades in the last of us 2 for the platinum and then I'll move on to it. Cant wait to give it a go

[SpineSaw]

Nice some Nioh love. I agree Nioh is a great game and a shout out to Nioh 2 also a great game...... Also Nioh 2 DLC drops midnight tonight!

[monkey602]

I havent gotten around to Nioh 2 yet but I will eventually. I've been slow on the uptake of new games this year

[shuvam09]

You haven't played Ratchet and Clank? Or don't you like it?

[monkey602]

Loved Ratchet

But the same reason I left the Last of Us, Shadow of the colossus off the list. Its an old game.

Cant wait for Rift Apart though.

[snkiworld]

My List:
1. GOW
2. GOT
3. UC4
4. HZD
5. BloodBorn

[Gianoni33]

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

I'm going to say Astro bot rescue mission should be included. One of the best platformers I've ever played.

[N2NOther]

Thanks for commenting. Personally I have no interest in VR at all so that’s why it’s not on the list.

[12tfhaloinfinite]

My list :)

Ghost of Tsushima
Last of us 2
God of War
Spiderman
HZD
Days Gone
Nioh
Uncharted 4
Infamous
Bloodborne( I have fear of snakes and the level in forest where there were countless multi-headed snakes really put me off from playing the game)

Driveclub also deserves a recognition for its photorealistic graphics. Haven't played other exclusives yet.

[TheEnigma313]

I'm surprised none of you have Detroit on your list. That game was amazing.

[N2NOther]

I absolutely loved it. It was a toss up between it and God of War for me in 2018.

[TheEnigma313]

me too. it's my top 5

[oasdada]

I have it on my list

[monkey602]

I personally felt Until Dawn did it better though

[TheEnigma313]

you can argue that. I enjoyed that game too.

[S2Killinit]

1. God of War / TLOU2
3. Uncharted 4
4. Days Gone
5. Horizon: Zero Dawn
6. Ghost of Tsushima (might rise)*
7. Bloodborn
8. Persona
9. Astrobot VR
10. Spiderman

*Have not finished
Honorable mention RE7 VR

[sampsonon]

2?

[S2Killinit]

Couldn't decide between 1 and 2.

[sampsonon]

@S2Killinit: Ah! now i see

[ziggurcat]

Of the ones I've played, my top games in no particular order are:

God of War
Uncharted 4
The Last of Us Part II
Spider-Man
Bloodborne
Infamous: Second Son
Ratchet & Clank

I haven't finished Ghost of Tsushima yet, but it's definitely going on the list.

I still have to play:

Days Gone
Horizon Zero Dawn
Detroit

I know Detroit, and HZD are technically no longer exclusives, but still...

[sampsonon]

HZD is technically an exclusive still. You can only play it on ps4 right now so.

[ziggurcat]

Oh, I forgot The Order 1886 - I enjoyed that one a lot despite its issues.

[DanielEndurance]

Ain’t nobody listing The Last Guardian in their personal top 10... 🤦‍♂️ ...Yet it’s my number 1. 😢

[N2NOther]

I loved it. I just loved these 10 games more.

[LoveSpuds]

Reckon Shadow of the Colossus remake deserves more recognition too.

[Xavi4K]

my best PS4 console exclusive is Spider man fallowed by Horizon zero down than Persona 5...such a great generation.

[Brazz]

it's so unfair to make this list of Ps4 exclusives, such hard choice, so many great exclsuives!

The Xbox list is much easier:
top 5 xbox exclusives:
1. Forza Horizon 4
2. Forza Horizon 3
3. Forza 6
4. Forza Horizon 2
5. Forza 7

[lonewolf10]

For me in no particular order
UC4
LoU remaster
LoU 2
HZD
Uncharted trilogy
Uncharted Lost Legacy

[Weapon_of_choice]

BB by far the best game of this generation for me.

[Weapon_of_choice]

Also REZ for PS4 VR, cannot stop playing it.

[tochi]

Quite a list. It's almost identical to top 10 GOTY games of last 6 years.

Sure I would pick GOW and TLOU2 for the top 10 list.
However, I'd want to put
Spiderman,
Ghost of Tsushima, and
Final Fantasy 7R
on the top 3 most memorable gaming moments in PS4 generation.

What a great generation, and what a great year !

[sprinterboy]

For me;

1.GoT
2.Days gone
3.FF
4. HZD
5. TLOU pt2

Honourable mentions;

The last guardian
Bloodborne
Until dawn
UC4
GoW
Spiderman
Dreams
Driveclub
GTS
Order 1886
DS
Detroit

What a gen it's been for playstation, its so hard to decide.

[Vanfernal]

"I’ll say it right now; From Software’s Bloodborne is the best game I’ve ever played."

DAMN STRAIGHT!

[N2NOther]

It really is.

[LoveSpuds]

It's a toss up for me between Bloodborne, Last of Us 2 or God of War but, if I absolutely had to pick one, U think Bloodborne just edges it.

[DrDeath]

I guess I really am the only one who hated bloodborne.

[Youngindy21]

No I also hated Bloodborne.

[Babadook7]

This list feels pretty close to my taste. Bloodborne is amazing.

[ghostliving]

1. The Last of Us Part II
2. God of War
3. Uncharted 4
4. Bloodborne
5. Persona 5
6. Spider-Man
7. Horizon: Zero Dawn

[excaliburps]

No one's asking but since everyone is posting theirs:

1) Horizon Zero Dawn
2) God of War
3) Spider-Man
4) Ghost
5) Bloodborne/Uncharted 4

I can switch 1-4 easily as the number one. LOL! It's hard to decide on the best one. I think this is the best gen for PlayStation of all-time, no?

[Youngindy21]

Bloodborne didn't even sell that well, yet everybody seems to think it's the best PS4 exclusive. I personally couldn't get into it.I also thought Uncharted 4 was massively overrated, so here's my list
1. Horizon Zero Dawn
2. God of War
3. Spider-man
4. Days Gone
5. Detroit: Become Human
6. Nioh
7. Ratchet and Clank
8, Firewall Zero Hour
9. Shadow of the Colossus
10. Blood and Truth
* Quick Note: I didn't play TLOU2 or Ghost of Tsushima yet.

[Games1st]

Bloodborne sold 2 million in 6 months confirmed by Sony, it should be in top 10 first party sales. Years later it was Playstation Plus game.

[CertifiedGamer]

All you Last of Us Part 2 fans get used to it the game of this generation is Bloodborne, I think second place for last of us Part 2 is far too generous but it doesn’t matter as long as you accept that Bloodborne is #1 as that game is the game of this generation. I remember I had pool of disagreements because Last of Us Part 2 was not the only game I played this generation.

[outsider1624]

Does it matter though whether any of Sony's Exclusives are gotg?

BB isn't in my top 10 list. It's just not for me personally but i don't mind it winning gotg.

[Flawlessmic]

My top 10

1. God of war
2. Horizon zero dawn
3. Last of us 2
4. Spider man
5. Persona 5
6. Ghosts of tsushima
7. Bloodborne
8. Uncharted 4
9. Shadow of colossus
10. Infamous

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

What a great lineup.

[NapalmSanctuary]

1/A) Bloodborne
1/B) Nioh 2

Haven't played Ghosts Of Tsushima yet. Will have to get back on that one.

[GhostPandaColin]

For myself:

1. Bloodborne
2. Ghost of Tsushima
3. God of War
4. The Last of Us Part II
5. Horizon Zero Dawn

Tough to put them in order, but those are my five.

[cell989]

God of War #1

[marinelife9]

1. God of War
2. Bloodborne
3. Uncharted 4
4. Ghost of Tsushima
5. TLOU2
6. Horizon Zero Dawn
7. Spiderman
8. Persona 5
9. Resogun
10. Nioh

[SouljAx360]

My favorite PS4 games are Bloodborne, Persona 5, and Uncharted 4 including Lost Legacy as it is the standalone DLC for it. Really hope there's a Bloodborne 2 one day.

[toxic-inferno]

Great to see Bloodborne getting so much love here! I'd have to out that as my number 1 too - no other game has changed the way I think of games in quite the same way!

[ssj27]

1bloodborne
2Horizon
3Last guardian
4days gone
5GOW
6dreams
7secondson
And Half way through spiderman is a good great game but not as impactfill as this others idk it feels very similar to infamous but obviously more popular because is spiderman and i admit animations and graphicsare way better you can tell itsa bigger budget, sony needs to hire a Marvel or etc comic writer to help them reboot infamous with full fledged cartoon movie probably hire the guy that did the trailer for watch dogs legion, it will be amazing to see a infamous movie with his art style..
I haven't played lou2 or ghost but planning
on playing them on the ps5 or nioh.

[forsan]

Nice some Nioh love. I agree Nioh is a great game and a shout out to Nioh 2 also a great game...... Also Nioh 2 DLC drops midnight tonight!

[Kaze88]

Persona 5 needs to be on that list!

[ravens52]

1.God Of War
2.Horizon Zero Dawn
3.TLOU Pt. 2
4.Bloodborne
5. Uncharted 4
6.Days Gone
7.Spiderman
8.Drive Club
9. Nioh
10. Second Son

Getting GoT. Havent play the Remake of Ff7 and a few other games that I'd like to try and may change my list.

[Imortus_san]

3 of the 10 games are on PC.

[East76lands]

Not much love for The Witness.

[OMNlPOTENT]

1. God of War
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
3. FF7 Remake
4. Spider-Man
5. Bloodborne

Lots of great games this console generation. The biggest let down for me is the lack of Ratchet and Clank games :( So glad to see it’s coming back in a big way on the PS5.

[Positivelypositive]

God of War which was a change for me since I didn't enjoy the originals on PS2.
Spiderman,
Uncharted,
Concrete Genie was outstanding and should not be missed.
Ratchet and Clank The most average entry, the ps3 ones were better but still great
Gravity Rush is amazing! Do not miss those!
Infamous Second Son is also incredible
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir,
Nier: Automata, Insanely good, maybe the best AJRPG
Persona 5 I am sick to death of turn based combat but I loved this

Right now I am playing Ghosts of Tsushima and I am enjoying it so much it might be at the top of this list next week.

I in no way enjoy Soulslike so I can't understand Bloodborne but people seem to feel its basically the best of the generation so I recommend trying it.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I guess my favorites would be

The Last of Us Remastered
The Last of Us: Part II
Persona 5 Royal
Until Dawn
The Order 1886
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Gal*Gun: Double Peace
Soma
Death Stranding
Detroit: Become Human

[zarbor]

The truth of matter we can all agree on, is PS killed it with the exclusives for PS4 no matter the order.
Just about all their exclusives were done well.

The ones I liked the most were God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh 2, Spiderman, FF7 Remake, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank and MLB Show.

Disappointments were a few: Order 1866, Killzone and Death Stranding

Everything else in between was good and enjoyable. Kudos to Sony and the PS team. The competition has no chance of catching thier exclusive list. At this point, Sony can just alternate each year with each of their exclusives and no need to create new ones. They really need to fix and do a better update of The Order and Killzone.

[ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

1.Last of Us Part 2
2.Spider-Man
3.God of War
4.Horizon
5.Detroit
6.Bloodbourne
7.Uncharted 4
8.Until Dawn
9.Days Gone
10.Second Son

[DOMination-]

For me personally:

1. God of War
2. Last of Us Part 2
3. Horizon Zero Dawn
4. Uncharted 4
5. Spider-Man
6. Persona 5 / Royale
7. Ghost of Tsushima

If I had to rate them on quality and polish, I would include Bloodborne, but I do not like those kinds of games personally.

[Heavenly King]

For me:-
1. God of War
2. Uncharted 4
3. Ghost of Tsushima
4. Horizon Zero Dawn
5. Days Gone.
