Who Made the List of Best PS4 Games So Far?

UM writes: PlayStation 4 has been out for a year now, which has been enough time for the big-selling system to amass a collection of must-have games. Though the best PS4 games aren’t all exclusive to the system, you can argue that for the multiplatform ones, the PS4 is the “best” console to play them on with a great UI and slightly more power than it’s main rival, the Xbox One. But that’s the debate of the decade, it seems.

Got to go with Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor as one of my favorite games so far. Really didn't expect this game to be so good. Combat is smooth, easy to master and although the main character becomes pretty overpowered mid through the game, it is still very enjoyable. The story isn't going to win awards but the Nemesis system is the games greatest asset.

As for exclusive, I got to go with First Light DLC for Second Son. Fetch was way more like able than Delsin, her powers more refined and way more fluid. After playing with Fetch and seeing how powerful she is, reverting back to Delsin seemed awkward and slow. Her back story was told very well and made me care about her and her problems more so than Delsin. And for being an extra side story, it was decently long for what it is.

I agree about Infamous. I liked and play the hell out of Second Son itself but I honestly had a ton more fun with First Light. The battle arenas were pretty fun as well as you didn't really come up against the level of chaos that could build to in the main story of either game.

Shadow of Mordor is one of those games I am surprised that everyone else is surprised that it's good. The first time they showed a decent amount of footage from it I thought almost right away that the game was gonna be awesome. It seems like most are shocked because it was somewhat under the radar and then out of nowhere people saw it getting tons of praise.

I would also like to throw Resogun into the mix. I know it's a small downloadable game but it is just so damn fun and my god is it pretty when everything goes boom.

So George is their a metal gear arsenal hidden under a sears somewhere?

[Spenok]

Well said on both accounts. Shadow of Mordor is a fantastic game, and one of the best for the year so far. And First Light was defintely better than SS, and I really liked SS.

[Physco]

what is this who made the List of Best PS4 Games So Far? is this a title?

[Fro_xoxo]

You were able to make a list?

Ah I see, there are multi-platform games included.

all decent-good titles nonetheless.

[Zizi]

Here comes my list:

1. The Last of Us: Remastered
2. inFamous: Second Son
3. Watch Dogs
4. inFamous: First Light
5. Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

[oODEADPOOLOo]

If planetside 2 ever comes out this year, it'll probably be my top game this year. But since they seem to be pushing any news about it until playstation experience event in December I doubt full version is ready, at least there should be playable beta. I just didn't think re-doing a U.I on a finished game would take a year...

[oODEADPOOLOo]

But I think my list would be like this...

1)Sahdow of mordor
2) Farcry 4
3)GTA 5
4)Planetside 2
5) Alien Isolation

[captainexplosion]

They announced yesterday that Planetside 2 will not be out this year. They said the beta will take place in a few months. Very annoying it has been delayed so much.

[combatcash]

Nba 2k14, shadow of mordor, bf4 was pretty decent

[geddesmond]

Infamous Second Son is by far my favorite game this gen so far. It would have been The Evil Within followed by SS but the Black Borders on TEW annoy the crap out of me. I've seen a lot of hate for Infamous SS on the internet and I really don't know if its just people hating on the game because its not on their console or some other dumb excuse.

Shadow of Mordor is good but the story isn't great and it definitely is like AC and Batman had a baby. Destiny had great potential but too many small things make it mediocre like the worst leveling system in a game ever and the crapest loot system I have ever played. Bungie should have taken a few nots from Borderlands and Diablo to address loot instead of taking ages to reward a player for time spent repeating the same content over and over.

[LOGICWINS]

Theres a lot of hate for SS on the Internet? Really?

I just got done replaying it and its great fun. Voice acting is fantastic as well. Its not perfect though. It lacks the story depth of Infamous 1 and epic moments of Infamous 2.

The last boss battle with Augustine was a joke. Coming off of two epic battles with Bertrand the Third in Infamous 2, its easy to see why a lot of people may have been disappointed with SS.

Sequels are supposed to improve on their predecessors in every way. SS took a step back in some aspects. Lack of a satisfying plot and blockbuster moments are what hurt SS the most. SS easily had the most lackluster ending in the series. Thats unarguable.

[geddesmond]

Yeah but in all honesty how long do all these first batch of new gen games get to improve their engines for next gen, write stories and plan out games and then develop the games in time to give us a game.

I thought SS was told very well. I know if they were given another year to develop they could have made an even better game just like any other game that comes out but it just makes me excited to see what Sucker Punch has in store for us next considering that they have a game engine to work on which equals more time and they have SS feedback from fans to work from.

[LOGICWINS]

I agree, its a VERY well told story. Its just that the story itself was very simple. Infamous 1 really made you think and pay attention.

As you said, all the major issues with SS were probably due to lack of time and experience with the PS4. I know for a fact that we will get a better overall game next time.

I think SP intentionally made the story simple so they could make it more complex in the future to somehow tie his story together with Cole's in a major way.

SS was just meant to introduce us to Delsin so we care about him when hes working with/against Cole in the future.

[Npugz7]

I'm sorry but infamous was garbage!

[TheStrokes]

You don't need to apologize when you're wrong. Just learn from it ;)

[AndrewLB]

He's right bro. Infamous was absolute garbage. It was way too short and the graphics downgrade from E3 was huge. Don't believe me? Click: http://www.gameblog.fr/imag...

Strokes- I do see where you're coming from in that the vast majority of PS4 games have been complete let-downs. It's like being told to pick what you like best and are told to pick from... rabid fanboys, fat annoying chicks, or herpes.

[LOGICWINS]

No it wasn't. The issue is that Sony knew that plenty of people who were buying PS4s never owned a PS3. Hence never played Infamous games before. In order to make these new Playstation fans feel welcome, Second Son needed to have very little in common with past Infamous games so new players didnt feel like they couldn't enjoy SS if they hadn't played previous games in the series.

This is why it was more difficult for Infamous veterans like me to fully enjoy the story knowing that previous iterations did a MUCH better job in that respect.

On the other hand, if your first Infamous game was SS, ud have very little to complain about.

[fonduktoe]

For me destiny, final fantasy 14, the last of us rm, and kill zone shadow fall are my most played and enjoyed since launch day.

[LOGICWINS]

1. Black Flag
2. Resogun
3. TLOU: RM
4. Second Son
5. Outlast

I fully expect Far Cry 4 to take the number one spot by year end though.

[bamillington]

Bf4 by a mile

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

The Last Of Us Remastered
Infamous Second Son
Outlast
Final Fantasy 14
Diablo III
Infamous First Light
Wolfenstein The New Order
Resogun
Defense Grid 2

[captainexplosion]

PS4's year one lineup has been really disappointing. I would have to go with Resogun or Garden Warfare (although I played it on XB1). 2015 is going to be a monster year for PS4, but 2013 and 2014 not so much.

[shadyiswin]

would think it needs more games before it could have such a list....

[Spotie]

Seeing as I've got a dozen games, myself, and that's far from everything available, I think there more than enough.

Oh, you thought this was about the XB1. I see how you could have made that mistake.

[shadyiswin]

well i mean why make this ist all about ps4 when most games are on both consoles is what im saying. I clicked this article cause i was serious to see the must haves on the list. Turns out all these must haves are also on other consoles. Basically it would of been a better story to say "best titles of 2014"

[90Supra]

Wolfenstein? Really?

the game was garbage...

[teedogg80]

IMO it was one of the most enjoyable FPS I've ever played. Even without multiplayer.

[wsoutlaw87]

I agree. I was surprised to see people liked it, i had to force my way through it.

[paddy95]

Nothing good yet. Soon LBP3 is out though :D.
