Spider-Man
Nearly everyone would probably admit that swinging through New York City Spider-Man-style seems like a blast. With this phenomenal action game from Insomniac, now every PS4 owner can give it a try. Not only is the web-slinging incredible, but the combat is top-notch, and the story is great as well.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
This year's Call of Duty might not have a traditional campaign, but when you try out Zombies mode, the multiplayer maps, and an all-new battle royal mode called Blackout, chances are you won't mind one bit.

God of War
It's been a while since we last checked in on Kratos, but it turns out he's been busy raising a son. You'll get a good idea of their relationship in PS4's God of War, a game so slick and gorgeous that it's no wonder it's one of this year's biggest titles. See how Kratos and the boy deal with the Norse gods in this stunning adventure.

After three swashbuckling PS3 adventures, Nathan Drake's story comes to a fitting conclusion in this touching, action-packed finale.

Persona 5
Persona 5 proves that JRPGs can still work in 2018, as long as they offer a cast of likable characters, a gripping story, and addictive turn-based combat. Persona 5 has all of that, plus style to spare.
