Sure, it popularised the Battle Pass and now it has all the money in the world it can beat any competitor for speed of updates and the richness of its detailing. What marks Fortnite out, though, is that it supports so many different play styles, from people who want to shoot to people who want to build and - brilliantly - people who just want to ramble around one of the most engaging video game settings yet made.
Fortnite's world changes , which makes the density of memories it holds feel that much more special. Other games are better shooters, but none can match this one for its sheer power of place.
It might have taken nearly 40 years, but one of sci-fi cinema's great texts finally got a game worthy of its legacy in this slow-burn horror from Creative Assembly and Sega. It's thick with atmosphere, conjuring a world of soft lights and whirring disk drives with a vivid authenticity. As a piece of digital tourism it's peerless - so what a bonus to have a well-crafted story thrown into the mix, alongside the constant threat of the lone xenomorph that hunts you down.
Alien: Isolation sadly never got the success it deserved, but that doesn't stop it being an outstanding adventure and one of the PS4's very best.

Either on foot or in a mech, Respawn zips you along from one ingenious set-piece to the next, and even finds time to welcome an old friend back for what may be the greatest middle-eight in all of video games. Crucially, beneath Titanfall's rather bland art style, the developers have found the heart and soul of the whole thing.
What an absolute delight this game is. See our full Titanfall 2 review and buy now from Amazon. This wonderful remake took the iconic setting, characters and enemies of the PSone classic, threw in a terrifying stalker in Mr. X and created something truly special. As tense as it is gorgeous, the Resident Evil 2 remake leans on the horror of the series' early entries to bring the creepy Raccoon Police Station into the modern era - complete with hammy voice acting and over-the-top gore.
But Mr. X really is the star here. This stompy, trenchcoat-wearing beefcake is up there with the best villains of this generation. Just make sure you know where your nearest safe room is. See our full Resident Evil 2 Remake review and buy now from Amazon. The Modern Warfare reboot is, predictably, a very competent first-person shooter with all the usual, snappy CoD trappings - but Warzone is the showstopper. It soon became the main reason to play, and as something available on its own for free, and holding popularity even after Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War launched in late , it's one of the very best battle royales around.
A breezy, social shooter that also has an ultra-high skill ceiling, you can dip your toes in or go all out trying to master it. Ideal for hanging out and whiling away the hours.

Kojima takes the sparse Icelandic landscape and builds upon it the ultimate walking simulator - a game that literally simulates the pleasures and challenges of crossing huge tracts of land. The idea of reconnecting a shattered civilization with an Uber-job might not hold up to much scrutiny, but the pseudo-weirdness is perfectly matched with an atmosphere of glorious solitude.
This is unmissable. See our full Death Stranding review and buy now from Amazon. Coming up to a year after its release and fans still seem divided over The Last of Us Part 2, though I think everyone who's played through Naughty Dog's lengthy opus is in agreement about one thing: blockbuster gaming doesn't come much bolder or braver than this.
Given its relentless bleakness, its gut-wrenching plot turns and a no-holds-barred attitude to some truly beloved characters, it's small wonder The Last of Us Part 2 left players split on its merits, but the results are undeniably powerful, technically striking and often breathtaking. There are certainly more straight-up entertaining ways to spend 30 hours of your time, but if you want to see video game narratives being pushed to the boundaries and beyond then The Last of Us Part 2 is pretty much essential.

He has a Gradius 2 arcade board and likes to play racing games with special boots and gloves on. Feature Eurogamer readers' top 50 games of This modern reboot is worthy of the name Doom , and is basically the FPS equivalent of a muscular body: it's speedy, empowering, and hits incredibly hard.
You awake as the classic Doomguy to begin another spree of demon genocide on a Mars colony, with a surprisingly intriguing plotline that explains how you're able to murder so many Hellspawn. There's a primal satisfaction to whipping out a Super Shotgun, blasting an Imp's innards into oblivion, and then performing a lighting-fast, stunningly violent Glory Kill on the demon who caught shrapnel just behind him.
The classic weapons and enemy types benefit from new additions like upgrades and double-jumping, making Doom one of the most frenetically fun shooters of all time. Also, you can grab it super cheap now. What Dishonored 2 , set 15 years later, adds is a second playable character — choose between original hero Corvo or super-powerful protege Emily. The only notable drawback is assumed knowledge — the storyline makes little sense if you've not played the first game.
Exactly two decades on from her PlayStation debut — hence the PS4 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider being subtitled the '20 Year Celebration' edition — Lara Croft delivers another must-own round of substantive combat and taxing-yet-enjoyable puzzling.
The storyline, with Ms. Croft venturing through Siberia in an attempt to complete her father's work in the lost city of Kitezh, doesn't scream originality but packs in some genuine shocks, while the platforming and zip-lining mechanics take Lara to heights she's never before reached — and not just figuratively. And you really should choose to pick it up. Don't worry though, there's a Stimpak for that. Giving the main character a proper voice adds an extra layer of polish to proceedings, and the expanded set of companions and customization options are very welcome too.
Titanfall 2 is an absolute colossus of a game. It was one of the biggest surprises of , as it delivered a smart campaign and enhanced the killer mulitplayer of the original which was Xbox-only. The story is overflowing with unique twists in a genre that long ago anchored itself in a sea of wash-rinse-repeat, offering true freedom while still retaining a sense of the familiar.
Its navigation and combat feel truly three-dimensional, and its big-gun battles are an adrenaline rush even Optimus Prime would struggle to contain. A special, special game which, in execution, is anything but robotic.
We knew Monster Hunter World was going to deliver something special but no one expected quite the level of depth and beauty awaiting within Capcom's updated action RPG, or how quickly we'd add it to our list of best PS4 games.
Despite being the most accessible Monster Hunter yet, you're still going to have to wade through some intimidating tutorials to get to the good stuff but smash through that wall and be dangerously prepared to lose all of your time here. Endless weapon types, huge creatures, constantly gorgeous environments, and a terrifyingly addictive loot for spoils system means Monster Hunter will have its claws in you from the get-go.
Oh, and don't forget to aim for those weakspots. You'll thank us later. If you're looking for more help, check out our Monster Hunter World tips. Battlefield 1 takes the epic shooter series back to World War 1, and the result is some of the grittiest, bloodiest FPS action you'll ever see. This instalment has a great little story mode, which follows the exploits of several troops fighting on all fronts of the conflict, but it's all about the multiplayer with Battlefield.
The variety of maps and modes is staggering here - especially with all the content added by the various DLC packs most of which are now completely free for ALL users. Whether you prefer to stick as a soldier, or choose to drive tanks or pilot aircraft, there's a role for you in the chaotic online arena. The highlight of it all is Operations mode, which sets massive player conflicts over the course of several maps, giving a real sense of back and forth battle.
Detroit: Become Home from developer Quantic Dream is a fascinating story game that centers on Detroit in the year Society has created Androids to do all their menial tasks and low-paid jobs, but Detroit: Become Human explores what happens when the Androids gain sentience and start to break their programming.
One of the most beautiful games on PS4, Detroit is all about progressing the story, rather than having full control over the action, so you need to be prepared to involve yourself in a proper, engaging story before you play. Embrace Detroit's narrative, relish the choices it forces you to make, and this could be one of the most unique, interesting games you'll ever play on PS4.
It's impossible to see even half the game in a single playthrough too, so there's heaps of value here. While the pair of leads - Alexios and Kassandra - are both strong personalities, it's the world that's the real star here. Whether you're dashing across it on a steed, or sailing around it in your own, fully-crewed ship, the sheer variety of things to see and do is staggering.
There's a full RPG system to tinker with, adding more depth than any previous Creed, and a revamped combat system that really highlights the nuances of the character customization options. While the formula has come a long, long way from the series' pure stealth origins, making this the most action-heavy Assassin's Creed to date, the heart of the franchise is still in there, with world-ending conspiracies and engaging sub-plots ever present.
Sure, there's a lot of competition for your game time in , but Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a high-watermark for Assassin's Creed games and deserves your attention. With The Division 2 , Ubisoft absolutely nailed how to make a sequel. It took everything that was right with the original game, and made it better, but also managed to iron out all the niggles and problems people had, to make a game that's full of stuff to do, a lengthy endgame and story missions that are utterly brilliant.
And what's more, it's always getting better. There's a whole year's more content still to come, including new story missions, eight-player raids, more exotics and more. It's a seriously fantastic looter shooter that's going to keep on giving for years to come. This is a city that drips with dread; every corner potentially hiding a grotesque beast or fascinatingly twisted piece of lore.
With the finest third-person melee combat in all of games, drool-worthy art design, and the most twisted monsters in the biz, this is a gorgeously gothic must-have. Bit hard, mind. Admit it, if you're familiar with the Persona series, you probably saw this comiiiiiiiin'.
