The best games that can only be played on a Sony console.

Sony's consoles have always been famous for their awesome exclusives, and the PlayStation 4 is no exception. There are a number of great projects for her that can't be played on PC, Xbox One, or anything else.

1. God of War

The God of War series is one of the most important on the PlayStation, but the 2018 game has surpassed all the previous ones. It tells the story of the god of war, Kratos, who sets out with his son on a journey to scatter the ashes of his wife. Along the way, they encounter many enemies, ranging from giant trolls to powerful Scandinavian gods.

The project has so many advantages that it is not easy to single out the main ones. You will surely be impressed by the cold world of the game and the exciting combat system. The difficult relationship between father and son will not let you get away from the screen. There is a lot of violence in God of War, but there is also a place for love.

2. Horizon: Zero Dawn

The game takes place in a huge world captured by futuristic machines. The main character, a girl named Eloy, has lived her entire life in her tribe. But curiosity overcame, and now she intends to reveal the main secrets of the planet.

Horizon: Zero Dawn's open world draws on a mix of wildlife and hostile mechanisms of varying shapes and sizes. The pumping system will also not leave you indifferent, since improving Aloy's abilities is not only useful, but also interesting.

3. Bloodborne

A hunter of evil spirits finds himself in a gloomy city filled with sick inhabitants and other monstrous creatures. Making your way deep into this place and exploring its nooks and crannies in order to get a little closer to solving its terrible secret, you will die every now and then. But soon it will become a matter of course for you.

Bloodborne is the best choice for those who like challenging games. You will need to be patient, especially during fights with chilling bosses, whose behavior will have to be carefully studied. But each victory will bring incomparable pleasure.

4. Marvel's Spider-Man

There have already been many games of varying quality about Spider-Man, but Marvel's Spider-Man deserves special attention. The plot for her was invented from scratch, and not taken from comics or films. And they give to play not only for Spider, but also for Peter Parker.

The project is not only very beautiful, but also fascinating. In it, you can cut across New York on a web at high speed and demonstrate the skills of the hero and the capabilities of the suit in close combat. And there are plenty of well-written characters familiar to any fan of the universe in the game.

5. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

The last part about the adventures of Nathan Drake not only collected all the best from the previous three, but also brought something new. You have to swing on lianas over rough rivers, fight in trucks rushing at full speed and explore ancient cities.

Uncharted 4 looks as cinematic as possible - this is a very beautiful game, on the creation of which a lot of money was spent. But this is not only a spectacular action movie. Here, the theme of the main character's family is also fully disclosed.

6. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

The Lost Legacy was originally intended to be a simple addition to the fourth Uncharted, but eventually turned into a standalone game. It has all the characteristic elements of the series like puzzles, acrobatic stunts and intense combat, but for the first time, Nathan Drake is not.

The main character is Chloe Fraser, who appeared in the second part. Together with Nadine Ross, the antagonist of Uncharted 4, she travels to India to find an artifact - Ganesha's tusk.

7. The Last of Us Remastered

The Last of Us was one of the best games for the PlayStation 3. The same can be said for the updated version for the fourth generation of the console. The action takes place in the post-apocalyptic USA. Joel, who has seen life, needs to accompany a girl named Ellie. She is immune to the infection that turns all humans into zombies.

In The Last of Us Remastered, the frame rate and resolution are increased, and the game also takes advantage of the capabilities of the DualShock 4 gamepad. Don't pass by the Left Behind add-on, which fully reveals Ellie's identity.

8. Shadow of the Colossus

Another remaster, this time - games from the PlayStation 2. A young warrior is trying to save a lifeless girl, and he can do this only if he destroys all the giants in the area. The project has an atmosphere of tragedy and loneliness. She does not set you up for violence, but teaches you to value peace and quiet.

In terms of gameplay, the PlayStation 4 version has remained largely unchanged, but the audio-visual component has been radically redesigned. Impressive colossus and ancient lands in which they live will not leave you indifferent.

9. The Last Guardian

A project from the developers of Shadow of the Colossus with a very similar mood. You control a boy whose only assistant is a gigantic but vulnerable flying creature. As the story unfolds, their friendship will grow stronger.

Exploration of the world is a core component of The Last Guardian. Every now and then you will solve puzzles that are perfectly woven into the environment. Thanks to this, you will not have to be distracted from the relationship between the boy and his friend, which plays a huge role here.

10. Detroit: Become Human

An interactive movie in which you play as three androids at once - humanoid robots serving people. The story revolves around machines deciding they deserve more.

Detroit: Become Human consists of dialogues that directly affect the development of the plot, and moments when you need to press the buttons in time. The script and production in the game is at the highest level: there are a bunch of interesting characters that you really empathize with, and intense scenes of chases and battles.

11. Until Dawn

The game tells about a group of teenagers who come to a forest hut, and then misfortune begins to haunt them. The project is full of cliches from popular horror movies, but that doesn't make it any less scary.

Many games are built around the concept of freedom of choice, but only a few do it really well. Until Dawn is one such game: what you do directly affects the fate of the characters.

12. Ratchet & Clank

A reimagined version of the eponymous platformer from the PlayStation 2, released together with the cartoon "Ratchet and the Clank: Galactic Rangers". In this game you will explore alien worlds and deal with bad guys using unusual weapons.

How do you, for example, a cannon, from a shot from which the enemy falls apart into pixel cubes? And the grenade that makes the villains dance? Don't expect anything serious from Ratchet & Clank: this is a cartoon game that can, however, amuse not only a child, but also an adult.
