Your PS4 GOTY in each year of its life?

Recommended Posts

2013: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and I didn't even care much for it (it's funny how the PS3 absolutely annihilated the PS4 in terms of games this year)

2014: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - some may call it a demo but it's a very tight, strong and memorable experience in a year of forgettable filler IMO

2015: Bloodborne

2016: The Last Guardian

2017: Resident Evil 7 VR

2018: This one is super hard between RDR2, God of War and Astro Bot but I have to go with RDR2 in the end. Three classics this year in my book.

2019: Death Stranding

2020: The Last of Us part II

2021: Resident Evil 8

2022: Elden Ring

To be fair, though, the PS4 didn't come out until November 2013 so it makes sense that the PS3 had better releases in 2013

This might be subject to change as I clear up my PS4 backlog. I own some good stuff like Prey, Dragon's Crown Pro, Yakuza 0, etcetera but I haven't gotten around to playing them. Game of the generation is Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition followed by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

2013: Knack - Literally the only PS4 game that came out that year that I played.

 

2014: LittleBigPlanet 3 - I have a bit of bias here because it was the first PS4 game I played. Despite the glitches, I honestly had a great time with it.

 

2015: Bloodborne - I was very hesitant about getting this game due to the difficulty, but in the end it was absolutely the right decision. This game is legendary, the combat is a blast, and the atmosphere is perfect.

 

2016: Uncharted 4 - I followed this game since the announcement, and it didn't disappoint. This was when Naughty Dog was in their prime, and they did a fantastic job of bringing Uncharted into the next generation. This felt like the swan song the series really deserved.

 

2017: The Evil Within 2 - 2017 was a ridiculously competitive year for games, as there were so many good releases. I'm picking TEW2, because it was such a nice surprise. I enjoyed the first game, but it had a lot of room for improvement. I was very happy when the sequel clearly made those improvements, seriously it's so fleshed out and the writing is fantastic.

 

2018: God of War - On the contrary, 2018 really didn't have many games I was interested in, but new God of War was still great. I'd say for every step forward it takes from the original games, it takes a step back. Saying that, the originals are great so that means the new one is as well, despite the terrible title. I love the idea of a soft reboot though.

 

2019: Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled - Another tough year for me, but ultimately CTR was just pure fun that I couldn't put down. The original game was a blast, and I don't usually care for  remakes, but it was awesome to see this game brought into the modern era. As much as I like Mario Kart, I'll take CTR any time.

 

2020: Ghost of Tsushima - The final year of the PS4 was a good one, but there could only be one winner. GoT was honestly so much more fun to play than expected. When looking at the gameplay footage, I didn't think the combat would be particularly fun, but I feel like the game really needs to be played to be fully appreciated. Saying that, viewers can still appreciate the absolutely phenomenal scenery and art direction, set in a really interesting and underused historical context. Most importantly for me, it came at just the right time to make up for the disappointment of the TLOU2.
