Not only is it a great console on its own, but it also has some amazing exclusives. Most of its exclusives belong to well-established franchises, which has caused many gamers to buy a PS4 just to play the next game in their favorite series. Here are some of the must-play PS4 exclusives out there.
Best PS4 exclusive games
God of War
A series of action-adventure games released exclusively for PlayStation, the most recent God of War follows Kratos (the series protagonist) and his son, Atreus, as they travel around Norway scattering Atreus’ mother’s ashes. While most of the series is based on Greek Mythology, the most recent game focuses on Norse Mythology instead. This series is graphic and combat heavy, but the focus on Kratos and his son is an interesting change. Whether you’re brand new to the series or are a longtime fan, God of War 2018 is definitely worth checking out.
