What "Must Play" games am I missing from my PS4 Library?

Hey guys. I game mainly on PC nowadays. It's mostly where I play PC exclusives and third-party games and games for GP. My X1X is my go to for third party games I want to play on a bigger screen or where I don't care about framerate so much.

My PS4 library consists mainly of exclusives. However I know a lot of you game solely on PS4 and so I'd like to know if I'm missing any gems that I can only get on PS4.

So far I already have:

Bloodborne
Death Stranding
Spiderman
Horizon Zero Dawn
God of War
Uncharted 4
Persona 5
Ghost of Tsushima
Gravity Rush 1 and 2
BlazBlue
Second Son
FF7R
FFXIV (on PC now...originally on PS3 then PS4)
Abe's Oddysee
EDIT: TLOU2. Can't believe I forgot this one.
Fuck I really shouldn't do this thread while at work. I also have Nier: Automata.


Here's some games that may be mentioned but I already have decided I have no interest in:
Detroit Become Human
Dayz Gone
The Order 1886
Street Fighter V (Tekken is mo' better)

I'm interested in getting maybe some RPGs, action hack and slash games. Absolutely no first person shooters as I will only play those on an Xbox controller or M&KB. Just personal preference. I'm interested in Japanese-made games, anime style is cool.

I understand it may be a tall order so don't be shy with the recommendations. Appreciate any help I can get.

Ni No Kuni 1/2 are great games!
Nioh 1-2 also!

Days gone is a must buy.
Not ps4 only but i do recommend a plagues tale.

I loved Detroit and think it’s one of the best games this gen. Yes, it’s a qte fest, but it delivers on branching story and choices affecting it and the pinnacle of that genre so far. I just finished my second play through and didn’t delete it yet!

But yeah, TLOU2 is the correct answer.

Darkest Dungeon.

I’m not a huge fan of this genre, but this game has so much going on with roster management and upgrading your Estate it’s addictive...and difficult. If you like strategy games at all it is a must play.

This game has more democracy than one could ever ask but but then you never stop wanting all the democracy it gives you.

Fall Guys
Its free this month and it is a nice game to play for like 1 hour every now and then. JUST DO IT

I'll look up some gameplay, thanks for the tip
Ni No Kuni 1/2 are great games!
Nioh 1-2 also!
I would probably play Nioh on the PC. I did try it on PS4. I think the inventory just got to be too much of a hassle. I wonder if Nioh 2 addressed this at all.
I do remember Journey being well received. I could probably get it cheap too.

They are the Mercedes-Benz, the Cadillac, the Maserati of shmup ports.
Never really thought of Shoot em ups but yea, I'm game. Last one I played was Ikaruga. Excellent game. Thank you for the recs.
Resogun, Nex Machina
I do own Resogun...crap I'm terrible at remembering how many games I have. What's Nex Machina like?
The Last Guardian is a wonderful game. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

And TLOU2 is an incredible achievement, no matter what some people say.
I will say, and I'm not proud of this...I never played SotC. The world looked really empty even though the boss battles looked insane. I will consider both the remastered SotC and TLG. Thank you.

manfestival manfestival does that version of the Gundam game have local split screen? I skipped on the last one because it omitted it. Excellent series. I've loved it since I played it on a pair of arcade cabinets a few years ago.

PS4 has a pretty broad selection of shmups if these don't pique your interest. Happy hunting.

FUCK, I fail. I do own Nier: Automata on both Ps4 and Xbox. Played and beat all the way to the "true(?) ending. Updated OP

I have not attempted to play it local. Though I would not be surprised if it was. I have played it single and multiplayer.
Ratchet and Clank for Ps4? Wasn't there 2 of them? Somehow I remember there being 2 this gen. manfestival manfestival
Just the one on ps4 unfortunately. They have been busy making other titles this generations which makes it justifiable. I mean we got spiderman after all.

Ok I think I got a good lineup so far.

top picks from the crowd so far are (in no particular order)
Ratchet and Clank
The Last Guardian
Guilty Gear - love blazblue, I know BB is based on GG as far as fighting style
Journey
Uncharted 4 lost legacy later on, still haven't beat UC4 but ill keep this in mind.
Infamous First Light - still haven't finish Second Son. Thanks Vawn Vawn
Judgement - because it seems to be a fresh story in the Yakuza universe. Figure it would be a decent place to start.

Some Obscure mentions that literally just have me curious because of WHO mentioned it
Odin Sphere - Thank you Danjin44 Danjin44
The SHmups - DunDunDunpachi DunDunDunpachi
SotC - Dual credit to Birdo Birdo and FunkMiller FunkMiller
