How Often Can You Go Back to Old Areas God of War Ps4

ThePlayStation 5 may have dropped, but getting your hands on the device is still as difficult as it was on launch day. As such, you shouldn't abandon your faithfulPlayStation 4. Right now, the device has one of the best catalogues in console history. You should definitely take advantage of that with a new PS4 game or two.

There's a rich library of AAA games exclusive to the PS4: Spider-Man, Bloodborne, The Last of Us Part 2 and God of War, to name a few. And then, of course, there are the cross-platform titles and indie games. It's an embarrassment of riches.

So, you're ready to start gaming. However, before you buy, consider the following:

• We've included links to the digital version of each game at the PlayStation online store, if you don't want the disc version, which are sold at linked retailers via the red buttons.
• Apex Legends is free to play (for PlayStation Plus subscribers), just use that digital link to download it.
• Fall Guys is currently free for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
• In addition to freebies like Apex Legends, Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone, subscribers to PlayStation Plus get two free games per month. It's fine, but comparatively stingy when put up against the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate collection, which offers subscribers open access to dozens of games.
• Nearly all PS4 games should be playable on the PS5, so any investment you make in these games should transition easily if and when you upgrade to the new console.

With those caveats in place, on to the games.

Fall Guys

Devolver Games

Fall Guys is a battle royale game unlike any you've ever played before. 60 players start, but after a cut-throat series of insanely fun, but bafflingly unfair, mini-games, there can only be one winner. Think Ninja Warrior crossed with Peppa Pig.

This game has taken the internet by storm, and while I expect the hype to die down in a month or so, right now Fall Guys is the most exciting game on the planet. It's also free on PlayStation Plus right now.

See Gamespot's Fall Guys review.

God of War

Santa Monica Studio

See digital version at PlayStation store

It's a complete reinvention for one of the PlayStation's most consistent series.

God of War is extremely good. The new combat system takes a while to get used to, but once it clicks, it really clicks. God of War is an absolute showcase for the PlayStation 4 (and especially the PlayStation 4 Pro). Get that thing going on 60 frames per second. You'll have yourself a good time.

See GameSpot's God of War review.

Apex Legends

Respawn Entertainment

See digital version at PlayStation store

Well this game came out of nowhere.

Apex Legends is the game no-one saw coming. In 2018 Fortnite literally ruled our cultural universe, but now its position atop the battle royale genre is being challenged by Apex Legends and with good reason. Designed by the core team responsible for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and, more recently, the excellent Titanfall series, Apex Legends just feels so good minute to minute. Look for this game to stick around.

See GameSpot's Apex Legends review.

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Guerilla Games

See digital version at PlayStation store

Horizon: Zero Dawn is like Video Games: The Greatest Hits.

It has the sprawling mission structure of The Witcher 3, Metroid Prime-style scanning, Tomb Raider-esque bow and arrows and survival.

And it has fricken' robot dinosaurs with fricken' laser beams.

It also -- somehow -- weaves its ludicrous high concept into a story that not only works, but is actually incredibly compelling, affecting and features great writing and layered characters.

It's arguably the best game on the PlayStation 4.

See GameSpot's Horizon: Zero Dawn review.

Bloodborne

FromSoftware

See digital version at PlayStation store

FromSoftware doesn't make bad video games. It makes classics, stone-cold classics, one after another.

But Bloodborne might be the best FromSoftware game yet.

A brand new universe, a faster paced combat style, ludicrously well-designed environments and beautiful enemy design. Bloodborne is difficult, but it's intensely rewarding. Crucially, it's a great entry point into the "Souls" genre.

See GameSpot's Bloodborne review.

Rocket League

Rocket League is soccer with cars and it is so good I can't even believe it exists in this broken, corrupt world.

It's not quite as popular compared to when it was initially released and everyone was going crazy, but Rocket League still has a massive core community.

And the game is just so instantaneously fun. So you should probably play it.

See GameSpot's Rocket League review.

The Witness

Jonathan Blow

See digital version at PlayStation store

The Witness is designed to make you feel like a complete idiot.

In a good way.

You know how games like Metroid and Zelda sort of guide your progress by slowly giving you items that act like keys to unlocking brand-new areas?

The Witness is sorta like that, only it upgrades your actual brain. With puzzles.

This game is extremely good.

See GameSpot's The Witness review.

Undertale

Doom

Bethesda

See digital version at PlayStation store

Doom is extremely good. This is established fact. This reboot had no right being as good as it is. It harks back to a different kind of first-person shooter. It's about getting up close and personal with monster-demons and spilling their innards on blood-stained floors.

See GameSpot's Doom review.

Nier: Automata

PlatinumGames/Square Enix

See digital version at PlayStation store

Nier: Automata was released in the same calendar year as games like Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey and Horizon: Zero Dawn, but there are people who think Nier: Automata was better than all of those video games.

I disagree, but even coming close to that level of quality is intense. Nier: Automata deserves your attention at the very least. It's extremely good.

See GameSpot's Nier: Automata review.

Titanfall 2

Respawn Entertainment/EA

See digital version at PlayStation store

Just when you think it's safe to write the first-person shooter off as a banal genre devoid of innovation, along comes Titanfall 2. Titanfall 2 is like any other shooter except wall running, double jumping, turning into gigantic robots and uh...

Actually it's not like another shooter at all. That's why it's so great.

See GameSpot's Titanfall 2 review.

Dark Souls 3

FromSoftware

See digital version at PlayStation store

Dark Souls 3, like all Dark Souls games, is an acquired taste. But once you acquire that taste, everything else is ash in your mouth.

These games are good.

Dark Souls 3 is great because it's refined and modern and eliminates a lot of the clunk of Dark Souls. It also features some of the best level design in any "Souls" game to date.

See GameSpot's Dark Souls 3 review.

Inside

Playdead

See digital version at PlayStation store

Inside is short, disturbing and stays with you long after you're done.

It really is one of those unforgettable gaming experiences. To explain more would spoil it. Just know that it is polished, smart, unique, interesting: It's a well-made "thing" that you should experience. (Note that the retail version, linked below, comes packaged with Limbo, another excellent -- albeit short -- game.)

See GameSpot's Inside review.

Monster Hunter: World

Capcom

See digital version at PlayStation store

Monster Hunter: World is the new kid on the block.

In a lot of ways it feels like a coming out party for the Monster World series, which has always been huge in Japan, but has only flirted with success in the west.

Now it feels like everyone is talking about Monster Hunter, and with good reason. It takes what we already love about Monster Hunter and makes it more accessible and... bigger. We've been used to playing Monster Hunter on underpowered handhelds. Playing it on a big boy console just takes Monster Hunter to the stratosphere.
