The Best PlayStation Games, From Ratchet and Clank to God of War - Gizmodo Australia

PlayStation fans have access to some of the best video game exclusives out there, from platform staples like Ratchet and Clank to brilliant one-offs like Returnal.

For the most part, exclusives make up the best reason to buy a PlayStation, especially since the release of The Last of Us, back in 2013.

This brings us to question — what are the best games on PlayStation.

It’s tough to weigh up, especially when there are plenty of great games to play that aren’t exclusives.

In this article, we’ll be going through the best games you can play on PlayStation, across PS4 and PS5.

Below, you’ll find the best games on PlayStation consoles, including the PS4 and the PS5.

Ratchet and Clank is an inseparable icon of PlayStation — ever since the PlayStation 2, the Ratchet and Clank franchise has been booming, following the funny and engaging space adventures of the titular heroes.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart adds Rivet, another protagonist who’s just as cool as the original Ratchet.

The best part is that you don’t even need to know anything about Ratchet and Clank to enjoy it.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is available on PS4 and PS5.

A sombre revisit to the God of War franchise, which previously had been a hack and slash featuring gods of the Greek pantheon, God of War (2018) is a more concise and meditated game than the others in the series.

Unlike the rest of the God of War franchise, where the original objectives were to kill, kill and kill, the 2018 game is more about the journey and venturing the world with your son.

God of War (2018) is available on PS4 and PS5.

The final game on our list is Horizon Zero Dawn, an ambitious and beautiful game set in a world recovering from a technology-led apocalypse.

Does that make the game post-apocalyptic.

Actually, it’s more like a medieval game than a post-apocalyptic game, as the technology you use, fight and encounter functions more like magic than science.

Horizon Zero Dawn is available on PS4 and PS5, but it’s also available on PC

Our list might only include five games, but these are just our picks for the best PlayStation exclusives (even if Horizon Zero Dawn isn’t technically an exclusive anymore)
