What are the top 25 PS4 games right now?

We are coming up on the 5th year anniversary of a PlayStation 4. With that in mind I was wondering what would be considered the top 25 PlayStation 4 games right now?

5 years is more than enough time for a bunch of great games to come out so I figured I'd ask the PSNP community for their top 25 PlayStation 4 games.

 

However I would like people to exclude two things:

  1. Any rerelease or remake of a game.
  2. Anything that was also released on Playstation 3 or Vita.

The reason for this is that the list of games should be games that you have to have a PlayStation 4 to play.

(Games that were also released on PC or Xbox One are fine.)

I would probably be able to give a top 25 I think but definitely not with these requirements:

that would mean that many great games like Persona 5 wouldn't qualify for this top 25. Seems a bit weird as that would give a very strange ''top 25'' and would probably start including mediocre games as well.

Then why do you play them and come to forums to comment on them?

 

Anyway, getting back to the TC, gotta agree with @Lucas here. Having a top 25, with no remasters and no cross-system releases will lead to a pretty crappy bottom of the list. I would recommend going with top 10 with those stipulations (although I have trouble even with that, to be honest). I mean, gems like Salt and Sanctuary and Axiom Verge get lost here...

...

...or is this meant as an exercise to show that the PS4 doesn't have a lot of wholly exclusive titles?

But seriously though there's no such thing as top 25 games because for example mirrors edge catalyst will be close to number one if not number 1 on my list and guess what? Not many like this game. 

 

Perhaps you can do what a person from before did if you have the time and collect data based on rankings, then put them on Excel and post the results. So suppose I choose mirrors edge catalyst as my favourite game at 25 then that gets 25 points. Then at the end of the poll, the top 25 games with the most points gets displayed here.

This list won't work, reason why your terms are too harsh for Japanese based games like;
Persona 5, Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana , Tales of Berseria, World of Final Fantasy, Tales of Zestiria, Sword Art Online (series) and there are many others

Sure some of these titles wil not be in everyone's top 25 but for most and going on reviews Persona 5 and Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana will be a few of them.

This is impossible. There aren't 25 good games when you exclude remakes and games on the PS3 and Vita. Only ones I can even think of are:

  • Dragon Ball FighterZ
  • Bloodborne
  • inFamous First Light
  • Monster Hunter World
  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • Final Fantasy XV

And that's it. I haven't played God of War or the new Spider-Man, but even with them, that's only 8 games. With remakes/remasters and games that were released on PS3 and Vita though. I can say:

  • Dragon Ball FighterZ
  • Bloodborne
  • inFamous First Light
  • Monster Hunter World
  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • Final Fantasy XV
  • .hack//G.U. Last Recode
  • Tales of Berseria
  • Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5
  • Kingdom Hearts 2.8
  • World of Final Fantasy
  • Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
  • Persona 5
  • Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
  • Final Fantasy XIV
  • Life is Strange
  • BlazBlue Central Fiction
  • Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
  • Final Fantasy Type-0
  • Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD
  • Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
  • Shovel Knight
  • Rogue Legacy
  • Ys Origin
  • Skullgirls 2nd Encore

But even then, it was a struggle just to find 25 games worth mentioning. The PS4 is a console full of remakes and multiplatform games. Which doesn't make it a bad console, but it does make it way harder to find "true" PS4 games. At the very least, games released in PS3 and Vita should be able to be counted, as well as remakes with added content. I can understand not wanting straight ports, but if it has new content, it's not the same experience as the original.

Wasnt that hard to find 25 games.
But if the crossplay-titles would count, the list would be completely different. Yep.

IMO, the 2nd criteria is a bit too harsh, so I'll do like others did and include games I exclusively (or mainly) played on my PS4 but that were also released on PS3 or PS Vita. I'm also including VR games since, it's basically the same system, just with an extra device and with extra processing power.

  1. Persona 5
  2. God of War
  3. Dragon Quest XI
  4. Ratchet & Clank
  5. Dragon Ball FighterZ
  6. Yakuza 0
  7. Danganronpa 1-2 Reload
  8. Nier: Automata
  9. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
  10. Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy
  11. Batman Arkham Knight
  12. Tekken 7
  13. Injustice 2
  14. Unravel
  15. Overwatch
  16. Batman : Arkham VR
  17. The Playroom VR
  18. Monster Hunter: World
  19. Mortal Kombat X
  20. Final Fantasy XV
  21. Tales from the Borderlands
  22. King of Fighters XIV
  23. Song of the Deep
  24. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven
  25. Dragon Quest Heroes

The ranking is personal and based on how much I've enjoyed each of these games.
