100 Best PS4 Games

These are the 100 PS4 games players recommend most. We surveyed players: 270,893 recommendations from people asking what to play on the PS4, with every game they named counted. A pick hundreds of players backed beats one person's favourite.

Bloodborne takes #1, named about two fifths more often than God of War at #2. For a game about dying over and over, it wins a lot. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt holds #3 by a whisker, just ahead of Horizon Zero Dawn at #4.

The Last of Us is missing on purpose. Only two PS4 games are named more often, but it came out on the PS3 in June 2013 and reached the PS4 as The Last of Us Remastered in July 2014, so it stays off. The Last of Us Part II was made for the PS4, and it sits at #17.
