The 12 Exclusive PS4 Games You Need to Play Urgently

All consoles have their exclusive games. As all platforms of the current generation are very similar in terms of hardware , these titles are ultimately responsible for attracting players. If you are thinking of buying a PlayStation 4, for example, but have doubts if that is so, you need to know what the Sony puppy can offer you in terms of games . To spare you the research, we brought in this article the 12 best exclusive games on PS4. From the amazing Marvel's Spider Man to the celebrated God of War , there are titles to suit everyone. Check out what they are and understand why the Sony console is one of the best gaming platforms in history.

1. Until Dawn

Until Dawn is more than a playful experience. This title brings an intriguing and open cinematic narrative. Despite the theme already hit with teens trying to survive an entire morning to the attacks of a serial killer , is a game of survival horror very well built and needs to be played several times. The plot is very simple. A group of teenagers gather in a cottage for a party night. Two girls, however, end up dying after falling off a cliff while being chased by a killer. A year later, the "survivors" return to the cottage to honor the girls. What they don't know is that the killer is still at large. To survive, you have to make choices all the time. And every choice in Until Dawn interferes with the direction the story will take. This system is very well developed, inspired by the well-known "Butterfly Effect". That is, each action taken will reflect to greater proportions in the future in gameplay . Including providing the possibility of multiple endings. So you might as well save all playable characters at the end of Until Dawn , as well as just kill them all. There is also the middle ground where only a few of the teenagers survive the dawn of murders in and around the cottage. So if you are looking for an exciting survival horror experience , Until Dawn is the perfect game for you. It also features special versions for the PlayStation VR, which further deepens the gaming experience . You must play this game if:
  • Are you a fan of horror movies, books and general stories?
  • Enjoy survival games

2. Gran Turismo Sport

Gran Turismo Sport seeks to give Sony's legendary car gaming franchise a new direction. It's the first title in the PlayStation 4 series and it sure doesn't disappoint. Like previous games , it focuses on the racing experience itself, not on modifying and customizing vehicles. GT Sport has two modes. The Sport mode is exclusively online. There are three daily runs in this mode, which will be changed every week. The player needs to excel in these races in order to rise in a world ranking . The lowest class is E in both Driver Rating and Sportsmanship Rating . The highest class is A in the first and S in the second. Who is among the top 200 riders in the world still has a special class, the S Driver Rating . Arcade mode does not offer the possibility of building a career as a pilot. In previous franchise titles this game mode option was always present, however in GT Sport not. The Arcade is nothing more than performing individual races in the style Time Trial , for example. There is a progress system in this mode as you stand out on the clues available in the game. Although far from the best racing titles of the 8th generation of consoles, Gran Turismo Sport convinces and provides good hours of fun. In addition, there is a FIA-managed world championship on the game that awards the winner annually with a cash prize. You must play this game if:
  • Are you a fan of previous Gran Turismo games
  • Want to compete in an FIA-hosted online world championship

3. Journey

Journey is considered by many experts a work of art. Narratively and visually, it is a deep game with great emotional appeal. There is no dialogue or speech, which invites players to immerse themselves in an unparalleled playful and artistic experience. No wonder Journey has been awarded worldwide in various categories. In this game you control a hooded figure wearing a scarf that can only emit musical notes. Your mission is to cross a desert and other inhospitable spaces to reach the top of a mountain. These musical notes also allow to interact with pieces of fabric scattered throughout the scenes. Using your scarf and these fabrics you can modify the environments and progress on your journey. Although Journey is a single player game , you can find another player at random locations on your journey, always one per chapter. Both can reach the end of the path together, helping each other, although the only communication allowed between them is the musical notes. It is not possible to know any information about the other player. With a maximum duration of three hours, Journey brings a mysterious narrative. As the hooded figure advances to the summit of the mountain, it passes by on the way through buildings and references to an ancient civilization. It is a journey of self-discovery that ends in a very beautiful and cinematic way. At the end of the credits, the PSN IDs of the players who shared their journey will appear on the screen. You must play this game if:
  • Want a deep visual and artistic experience
  • Enjoy short campaign single player games

4. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4: Thief's End is the last adventure of the rare and valuable object hunter known as Nathan Drake. And Nate's journey of exploration, shooting and danger could not end more dignified. With a significant improvement in the protagonist's movement and interaction with the scenes, as well as an incredible narrative, this game is one of the best of its kind. It is three years after the end of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception . Nathan had completely given up his life as a hunter of valuable artifacts. Retired, in the company of Elena Fisher, his wife, receives a visit from his brother, Samuel. Sam was apparently dead, but returns with the possibility of one last adventure: finding pirate Henry Avery's treasure. With this narrative background, the player controls Nathan Drake and seeks to help his brother find the treasure. Amid missions that involve tackling large groups of enemies and solving puzzles , Uncharted 4 provides players with challenging and fun gameplay . As with all franchise games, all levels are linear. There is, however, room for exploration. According to the developers, the levels are ten times higher than those seen in the previous title. Therefore the player is not required to progress in the same way at all times as there are several ways to go towards his goal. Featuring more than one game mode, including a multiplayer , Uncharted 4 is a title that every PlayStation 4 owner needs to have and zero. It's exciting and deep. Nathan Drake has never been so fit and never had so much to lose. So expect every possible challenge to stay alive. You must play this game if:
  • Played all the other franchise titles and wants to end Nathan Drake's story
  • If you like omb Raider games

5. Bloodborne

Every player who doesn't have a PlayStation 4 has certainly wanted to experience at least once what it's like to play Bloodborne . Although somewhat belonging to the Dark Souls and Demon's Souls family , it is a very different game in terms of gameplay mechanics. Its gameplay is challenging, but it is more fluid and faster than that presented by Souls games . This does not mean, however, that Bloodborne is an easy game to play. It encourages a more offensive grip, as you will often have to face many enemies at once. It is possible to jump around opponents, giving the combat more dynamics. There are also stimuli to take risks, since after losing life it can be recovered by quickly attacking enemies within a span of time. There are several weapon options the player can have. They are divided into primary and secondary, and some melee weapons have different functions depending on how they are used. Firearms can also be used only to stun enemies if you so desire. Bloodborne features a plot that is both simple and complex. The protagonist's journey takes place in Yharnam, a ruined city, the target of constant pilgrimage for allegedly guarding a medically miraculous. You control one of these pilgrims. Arriving in Yharnam, he discovers that an illness has turned all its inhabitants into monsters. As a fun experience, Bloodborne is one of those games that all gamers should play. It's already become a PS4 classic, gathering a legion of fans around its unique and exciting gameplay. You must play this game if:
  • Want a challenging title
  • Enjoy games with a gothic ambience, mixing modern and medieval

6. The Last Guardian

The Last Guardian bears some resemblance to Journey , described above. He brings a protagonist of whom we know nothing, nor the name. He is accompanied by a legendary creature, which is half mammal and half bird named Trico. As in Ico and Shadow of the Colossus , it eliminates everything superfluous in the plot, focusing everything on the relationship between Trico and the protagonist boy of the game. Gameplay is not one of The Last Guardian's strong points , as it has received strong reviews regarding the boy's difficulty controlling and his interaction with Trico. None of this, however, disturbs the overall experience of the game. Using the boy-creature partnership, the player must escape from a prison by running away from guards who at any cost try to arrest them again. The plot is basically the escape of both characters. Interestingly, however, the whole gameplay is focused on building the relationship between the boy and Trico. The dynamics between the two are intense, and one depends on the other not to be captured by the prison guards where they are. The Last Guardian is a mix of adventure and action, as well as a platform game. At the same time it is one of those "conceptual", artistic games that are often made much more to be contemplated than actually understood. It is very worth your purchase if you want an unusual gaming experience. You must play this game:
  • Enjoy deep and artistic games
  • Already played the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus titles

7. Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn has won many game awards of the year and no wonder. This game bet everything on a strong, deep and complex protagonist, the hunter Aloy. In charge of this character, the player explores a huge and open world, a thousand years after the present time, when planet Earth was dominated by killer robotic creatures. Gameplay features a mix of various successful combat mechanics. Aloy has at his disposal a variety of ways to deal with his enemies, be they humans or machines. You can use your bow to fire various types of arrows at opponents, some explosive. If you want, however, you can go into hand-to-hand combat using a stick. Aloy still sets various trap types and can eliminate stealth fighters. Zero Dawn doesn't bring much customization possibilities to Aloy. Throughout the game it is possible to build, buy and find weapons, clothing and armor, however. Also, there is a good character evolution system. Aloy can be improved on specific attributes according to the player's fighting style. The narrative is the strong point of the game alongside Aloy. The main goal is to find out who Aloy really is. Throughout the major and minor missions, this becomes clearer, while understanding what happened to planet Earth a thousand years ago. It is a beautiful adventure, in a dynamic world, with climatic variations and day and night. You must play this game if:
  • Interested in science fiction
  • Enjoy futuristic action games

8. Marvel's Spider Man

No one questions that Marvel's Spider Man is the best Teioso game ever made. It's not just because PlayStation 4 has made it possible for us to jump from building to building with amazing graphics. This Spider-Man game gave fans a chance to delve into an unprecedented Neighborhood Buddy story, as well as play with Peter Parker's secret identity. The open world of this title is also impressive. New York was portrayed with great fidelity. We find all the classic points of comics and movies in the game. Flying, jumping and running through the city's skyscrapers has never been so much fun! In addition, the scenario is almost always an ally in combat, as the hero uses his surroundings to gain advantage in fighting. Needless to say, all the powers of the Teioso are in Marvel's Spider Man . Your battle skill is very well developed, with the possibility of creating various combos. Web and Spider Sense can be used in many different ways. Just the player has to master the character and find his fighting style. Another very fun feature of this game is that the main quests and sidequests give you items, collectibles and of course new uniforms. Even the uniforms created by Tony Stark in the Marvel Film Universe are present in the game. In addition to fighting crime in New York, we have to deal with Peter Parker's private life and all the problems it brings. You must play this game if:
  • Are you a Marvel and Spiderman ID card fan?
  • Enjoy superhero games

9. The Last of Us

The Last of Us is a PlayStation 3 exclusive originally, but its remastered version for PS4 certainly deserves to be here. It is one of the most worshiped games of all time. It brings a fatherly interaction between Joel and Ellie, both on a survival mission in a post-apocalyptic world filled with corrupt humans and deadly creatures. In this third person action game you control Joel most of the time, although Ellie is also playable in part of the game. Both need to cross the United States in order to reach the zone outside quarantine. The world has been infected by a virus, and even infected Ellie is immune to it. So there are people interested in using it to find a cure. We have all seen a movie or read a book with a background similar to The Last of Us . The big difference of this game is the relationship between Joel and Ellie, which develops as both survive extreme situations and limits. Many times you will be left without bullets, without weapons and without medical items, having to hide in corners and alleys to not die. The Last of Us takes the survival genre to a new experience. Survival is constant, mainly because you have to ration all the items and ammunition you have. Remembering the good times of Resident Evil 3 and Silent Hill , you never know when enemies will appear and where they will emerge. Regardless of the difficulty level you choose, you will find that the tension in this game is constant. You must play this game if:
  • Enjoy games with post apocalyptic themes
  • Interested in survival games

10. Detroit: Become Human

Detroit: Become Human is one of the most powerful exclusives on PS4. First in terms of graphics. Visually it is beautiful, leaving players with their mouths open. Secondly, it brings a plot that allows the control of three different characters, all androids: Kara, Markus and Connor. And all three can die or survive the end of the game, depending on the player's choices during gameplay . Each character has its own narrative line. Eventually all three can meet at a certain point in the game. That makes Detroit: Become Human a complex title. Throughout the gameplay you will be faced with very difficult ethical and moral decisions to make. In some cases it is even possible to review them as there is a "remorse system" in the game. Gameplay will not require much from players. In Detroit: Become Human you should focus much more on exploring the scenery and interacting with the environments and the other characters in the game. Everything around you is important and can play a decisive role in the evolution of the character you control. In addition, each of the three controllable androids has a unique ability. Set in a completely futuristic, Black Mirror- style world , Detroit builds on the relationship between machines and humans. The plot or the plots, therefore, bring a serious and very deep reflection about the relationships between living beings. You must play this game if:
  • Be very interested in narrative games
  • Liking futuristic themes involving smart machines

11. Days Gone

Days Gone is the latest title on this list. It has been developed and postponed several times in recent years, and much has been speculated as to whether it would actually be released someday. Now available on PS4, it is a classic survival game set in an apocalyptic world. The player must not only kill zombie enemies to survive known as Freakers , but also progress in missions that lead to the completion of a narrative. In Days Gone you command Deacon, a bounty hunter. His wife, Sarah, was taken by helicopter to government facilities to be treated for an injury. Deacon and a friend, Booze, stayed behind because there was no room in the vehicle. Now they both have to survive hordes of zombies to find Sarah again. The combat system allows you to use both short and long range attacks. Stealthy movements are also allowed. The cyclic system day and night makes it easy to approach different types of Freakers . Some get slower and weaker during the day, for example. Deacon can still use a motorcycle to get around a wide open world. This bike can be modified with parts so that it is faster or tougher. Despite being a beat-themed game, Days Gone is a lot of fun. Killing zombies in a variety of ways and places gives you freedom of action. Also, exploring a large map without being sure what you will find along the way is intriguing. Added to this there is also the narrative part, which gives the background to the gameplay. You must play this game if:
  • Enjoy games with zombies
  • Interested in open world survivals

12. God of War

God of War arrives astonishing on PlayStation 4. When everyone thought that the Spartan Kratos was dead and defeated, he resurfaces in a role we have never seen before: that of a father. Alongside his son Atreus, the Spartan Ghost is on a mission to discover himself as a father figure while trying to put his past of violence behind him. Set in Norse mythology, God of War brings new mechanics to the franchise. The camera is now behind Kratos in third person. We continue with a linear game with no open world, although there is a great possibility of exploring Midgard and other mythical worlds of the Viking legends. Again the player will face gods and other fantastic creatures in their path. The combat system is still in the good and surefire Hack n 'Slash . Kratos can use a battle ax, a shield, and even his free hands to strike enemies. You can now customize the clothes or armor the Spartan wears, as well as aspects of his ax. Atreus, which carries a bow and arrows, can also be customized. There is a pretty interesting skill progression system, another element that was not in previous franchise games. Having Atreus by your side gives you new battle possibilities, since using just one button you can ask for their help in combat. God of War is an exceptional game, probably the best in the franchise so far. Impressed by the graphics, the setting, the excellent mechanics, but especially the deep and complex storyline. It's a Kratos-worthy return to the PlayStation and is therefore a must-have for anyone with a PS4. You must play this game if:
  • I'm a fan of Nordic mythology
  • Played previous God of War titles
