Nathan Drake’s swan song is a daring evolution. It combines series-
defining set-pieces, quietly devastating storytelling beats, and sprawling
levels that make you feel like a real-life explorer. This franchise finale
retains its signature charm, with the wisecracks flowing as fast
as the bullets, while the new characters each justify their inclusion.
With an astonishing attention to detail, it’s Naughty Dog’s best yet.14

MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD
Presenting a vibrant open world, light on story but
heavy on action, this is the most accessible entry
in the series yet. Perfecting the feel-good grind
through its complex systems and pitch-perfect
multiplayer, it’s a PS4 must-play.RESIDENT EVIL 2
Powered by the RE Engine, this remake is more
than a classic game with a facelift. New Tyrant and
zombie AI adds tension, and fresh areas not seen in
the original PS1 classic update the core gameplay
making this Resi 2 is a celebration of PS1 and PS4.GRAND THEFT AUTO V
Laughing in the face of other cross-gen ports, GTA
V on PS4 is more than a mere HD remaster. Upped
to a glorious 1080p, it weaves everything that
made the PS3 original great, with new music, more
dynamic weather, and a game-changing FPS mode.HORIZON ZERO DAWN
A staggeringly large world that condenses cracking
combat, accessible systems, and uncut eye-candy
into an action RPG that will please anyone. In Aloy,
PlayStation might just have a new icon. Come for the
robo-fights, stay for the exquisitely dense mythology.ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY
A beautiful open world where every Greek island tells
a unique story. AC Odyssey is a epic in the truest
sense, with lively writing, mythical beasts to battle,
and a poignant Assassin’s Creed story that lays the
bed for all the lore to come. A brilliant spectacle.
