Celebrating 10 Years of PS4 With Our Favorite Games

ign.com:

This week marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of the PS4. A console packed full of incredible games such as God of War, Bloodborne, and The Last of Us Part 2, it can prove very hard to pick a single favourite from the library. Well, we decided to try anyway. Below, we asked several IGN members of staff to choose just one game that jumps out at them when they hear the words “PlayStation 4”. Don’t see your favourite mentioned anywhere? Let us know what you’d pick and why in the comments.

There’s no world I enjoyed or got lost in more frequently on the PS4 than Red Dead Redemption 2. The long-awaited Wild West sequel fulfilled all hopes about what Rockstar could do when imprinting their trademark cinematic spectacle onto a new generation of consoles. Packed full of blockbuster moments like the Saint Denis heist or the exhilarating assault on Braithwaite Manor, I had as much fun taking part in these shootouts as I did watch whole afternoons fly by playing dominoes and poker.

This was the famed GTA studio’s only new release on the hardware, but one that proved worth the wait as it delivered on both grand scale and nuanced detail (yes, horse testicles included). For a game released on the PlayStation 4, only a small handful of games can compare to it graphically today. But there’s so much substance to that style, too. Its stunning world is packed full of memorable characters, from funny drunken escapades with Lenny to Dutch Van der Linde cementing himself as one of the greatest, and most menacing, ever video game villains. Plus, It also did what I thought was initially impossible – it made me care more about Arthur Morgan than I ever did about John Marston.

My favorite games are the ones that make you run and ask a friend,
