Sony's PlayStation 4 is fast approaching its sixth birthday, and that poses a problem. You see, game developers have seen fit to release a game for almost every day the console has been available, leaving you with well over 1,500 titles to choose from. The sheer volume of games on offer, coupled with the subjective nature of the medium, makes it impossible to definitively name "the best," and that's not what this list is about.
Instead, we got together to imagine someone had never picked up a PlayStation 4 controller before. Why? I don't know, maybe they went for an Xbox One and are looking to catch up on exclusive games they've missed. Or they've been trapped down a well for five years and have just returned home to discover a FedEx box dated November 15th, 2013 on their doorstep. Or perhaps they just clicked on this article to scroll down to the comments and tell us how terrible our opinions are. Either way, these are the ten games we'd recommend to someone looking to see what PlayStation 4 is all about.
Bloodborne
Bloodborne was an early winner this generation -- a PS4-exclusive reimagining of the Dark Souls formula. Developer FromSoftware swapped out the Souls games' gothic fantasy world for a... still-kinda-gothic fantasy world but introduced a kinder difficulty curve and a faster-paced combat system. You play as a hunter, slowly progressing through a labyrinthine city, mastering your weapon and upgrading your stats. If you haven't played Bloodborne yet, some of FromSoftware's most memorable boss battles ever await you.
