So, this gen is almost over and I decided to check (and share with you) my collection. I am not a hoarder. Games I do not enjoy get traded immedietly (or deleted if digital).
Hundrends of games have gone through my ps4, but the games below are my keepers.
The usual suspects. (sorry for the bad pic)
-Darksiders 2-3. The first would also be here but the ps4 port was terrible. Crashed all the time.
-The Last of Us 2. Despite the issues I have with the story, this is AAA gaming at it's finest.
-FF7 remake. I grew up with the original and worried they would ruin it. Nope, totally delivered!
-RE2-3-4-7. This gen was the wet dream of every RE fan.
-Ghost of Tsushima. The perfect ending to this gen.
-Uncharted 1-4. I love them all.
-Sekiro. Second only to Bloodborne. 3 playthroughs already and I cannot wait for the next.
-Persona Royal. Though it didn't dethrone P4 Golden, this was an incredible experience. The Royal expansion is essential, I loved what they did with the last semester.
-Spiderman. One of the best super hero games of all time. The open world stuff was nothing to talk about but the traversal is what made this game. Even after two playthroughs it never got old.
-The Last of Us. Masterpiece.
-Bloodborne Goty. Best From game ever. Unparreled level design and bestiary. An unrepeatable feat. DLC is a must.
-The Order. Yes, I liked it! Solid mechanics and incredible graphics. Loved the characters also.
-Detroit. It did the branching story telling amazingly well.
-The Evil Within 2. Most underrated game ever. An overall great experience.
-Shadow of the Tomb Raider. My favorite of the trilogy. Action took a back seat to the exploration and puzzles. Tons of dlc tombs.
-AC Odyssey. Easily my favorite AC game.
-Horizon. Best sci fi story in gaming. Awesome combat.
-Alien Isolation. Exploring the ship was one of the most intense experiences this gen.
-Nier Automata. Mechanically perfect and amazing story telling.
-God of War. HOLY SHIT for 30 hours.
Platformers
-Sonic Mania. Best Sonic ever.
-Celeste. Absolute perfection. Insane challenge if you dig deeper on the extra levels.
-Crash Trilogy. Love them since childhood.
The Yakuzas
-Yakuza 0-7. Remember when we wondered if we will ever play all the games in the west? Me neither. One of the best series in gaming.
0 and 6 are the best. 3 is a bit weak. The content of 5 is pure insanity.
The visual novels
-The House In Fata Morgana. I played this only because of the praise. One of the best stories ever told and an oscar worthy soundtrack. Play this game people!
-428. You cannot put the controller down. A very gripping story with a unique presentation for visual novels. Tons of post game stuff also.
-Raging Loop. A straight forward visual novel with a great protagonist dragged in a killing game. It has an amazing unlockable when you finish it.
-Zero games trilogy. One mind fuck after another.
-Ace Attorney trilogy. I have them for my DS but I cannot resist physical. 50 hours of awesome characters and cases.
-Danganronpa trilogy. Ace Attorney's darkest brother. It excels at everything. Plot, characters, soundtrack. And the quality is consistent for all 3 games.
-Death Mark. A short and sweet game. My favorite part was the secondary optional puzzles to defeat every demon. Do not bother with the sequel.
-Steins Gate. A legendary game. Could be edited a bit but the story it tells is amazing.
-Yuno. The grandfather of visual novels with branching paths. A monster of game but it is worth it. NSFW content also.
Puzzle
-The Talos Principle. Is easily beat The Witness as my favorite puzzle game this gen. The writing is also amazing. Day one for their next project.
-Catherine. Great puzzle game with a unique adult theme.
Adventures
-Until Dawn. A fantasic experience all the way through.
-Life is Strange. Few games have ever absorbed me like this.
-Tales from the Borderlands. Best Telltale game ever.
Metroidvanias
-Monster Boy. One of the most polished and well designed of this gen. My favorite of the bunch.
-Steamworld Dig 2. A huge improvement over the original.
-La Mulana 1-2. I just couldn't resist this box. I ended up using help for the first as the puzzles are brutal. I've just started the second and it looks to be even better.
-Guacamelee 1-2. Fantastic games with great humor. The second is better. More polished and tight.
-Hollow Knight. Nothing but respect for the devs. The scope of the game is insane.
-Axiom Verge. A deep 8 bit metroid game with an excellent soundtrack.
Other.
-Okami HD. A great remaster of the best PS2 Zelda game.
-Cosmic Star Heroine. You have played all the 16 bit rpgs and want more? Here it is! It has a place next to the classics imo.
And the digital games. I could have a physical edition for some of those
-Batman Arkham Knight. Second best super hero game after Spiderman. But just barely.
-Castlevania Requiem. The king of metroidvanias.
-Full Throttle
-Grim Fandango
-Day of the Tentacle. It is kind of surreal playing these on a console, but here we are! Classics.
-Fez. Brilliant.
-FF8-9. Great remasters with qol improvements.
-Iconoclasts. A well made metroidvania with a great story.
-Inside. The most polished game ever. Everything is tuned to perfection.
-King's Quest. Though chapters 2-5 didn't reach the greatness of the first one, it is a fantastic game full of heart.
-Rocket League. Best multiplayer game ever. My psplus subscription might be a Rocket League subscription at this point.
-Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. The best in the series by far. The others are one and done. This is a keeper.
-The Messenger. Excellent metroidvania with great/funny writing and soundtrack.
-The Witness. Blow delivers once more.
-Undertale. The Eartbound sequel we deserved.
-Obduction. Didn't have high hopes for this but I ended up liking more than the Myst series. Amazing world building and puzzles.
-Thronebreaker. Best campaign card game? Yes, by far.
-Shovel Knight. What a project that was! Delivering quality content for years.
-Cuphead. Half way done. Brutal and beautiful.
And that is all!
I have ordered just two more games ( Cross Code and Kentucky Zero Route, I hope they are good to stay in my collection) and I am done with this gen.
I have traded games that will be rereleased for PS5 (GTA5 etc) and the rest of the big games (Cyperpunk, Crash 4) will be also bought on PS5.
So that was my final PS4 collection. Kudos to Sony and all the developers for these great 7 years.
Game of the generation: Rocket League
Runner ups: God of War and Bloodborne
Would love to hear your keepers also.
