The latest figures show that the PlayStation 4 was the best selling console of the decade, selling a massive 110 million units and counting. Despite being released seven years ago, this console proves to be a fan favourite. Playstation kept the console up to date by introducing new, modified versions such as the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro which further showcased its brilliance. With these sales having been so strong and showing no signs of slowing down, we are all wondering; why is the PlayStation 4 still a great console?
It goes without saying that the main use for a games console is to play a variety of games available on the platform. PlayStation have announced some great must-play games since its release date, with some being exclusive to PlayStation making it all the more appealing for gamers to opt for this console.
Here at The iOutlet, God of War is the pick of the bunch. This action-adventure game was released early February back in 2018 and picked up multiple accolades on the way, even winning PlayStation game of the year! The player will control Kratos, the former Greek God of War who wants to keep his son (Artreus) distant from his previous life. Their quest is to spread the ashes of Kratos’ suddenly passed wife at the highest peak of the nine realms. Upon the journey, Kratos encounters a wide range of monsters and gods, which bring the past out of Kratos, showcasing his skills in combat with a variety of weapons. The magical battle axe is the primary weapon of choice, which can be swung and thrown to the players desire creating some immense gameplay. Double-chained blades are also featured, adding to the mix of techniques used to take out enemies. If you are looking for a third-person combat game with a gripping storyline, this is one for you!
Another must-play game for the PlayStation 4 is Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5). This game is actually the best selling PS4 game of all time and we can see why. The GTA series has featured on PlayStations for a number of years now, with each game being situated in a different city in the USA. GTA V is set in San Andreas, a fictional state based on Southern California. Like God of War, this is also a third-person shooter with free-roam. Players control three characters, who are all criminals from different backgrounds. This game features an action-packed storyline, with your character looking for a big-score to drive off to in the sunset. The story features three possible endings, meaning that the player chooses everyone’s fate. This title also includes an online playing mode, where the player creates their own character to take on San Andreas.
Last but not least, let’s talk about FIFA. It is a safe bet that if a customer has a games console, a FIFA game is there to go with it. EA Sport’s latest release is FIFA 21, which is also available on the PS5. Being released on two versions of the PlayStation just shows how popular the PS4 proves to be. FIFA 21 has a load of different game modes to try. Career mode is where the player can manage their own team. Playing each game, signing the hottest prospects, liaising with owners and dipping their toe into the academy in order to be the best team around. Ultimate Team is FIFA 21’s most popular mode, which in essence is incorporating trading cards for each player and building the ultimate team. This proves to be the most popular mode because of the frequent updates; giving fresh content for the player to play daily. The football game includes more modes too such as Pro Clubs and Volta, both giving a unique experience.
