15 Essential Video Games Worth Buying A PlayStation 4 For
Past, present and future, Sony have this generation sewn up.
In the eternal quest for dominance in the console market, it looked like Sony had secured a swift victory over Microsoft even back in 2013, thanks entirely to the latter's catastrophic blunder that was the Xbox One E3 reveal.
Shortly following the news that the software giant would make owners jump through hoops just to share their games with others, their Japanese counterpart capitalised on the fallout by way of releasing gems (or total kidney-pokes) like this:
Sony has enjoyed a comfortable lead ever since, perhaps becoming a little bit too complacent when it came to offering must-have exclusives. Now that the Xbox One has started to bounce back with some of its own system-sellers though, the competition is really starting to heat up.
With the Xbox One now a serious competitor for the PlayStation 4, Sony has responded in spectacular fashion by forging its own line-up of lucrative titles.
From incredible titles already on shelves, to what's coming in the near future, it doesn't get much better than this...
15. Infamous Second Son
We all need to blow off a little steam once in a while, and for those very instances, we have games like Infamous.

BioShock's veiled commentary on altruism vs. egoism, this most certainly isn't.
Second Son vastly improved upon its forebears in every department, offering superb visuals (undoubtedly helped to reach such a level of quality thanks to the PS4's jump in power over the PS3), a streamlined progression system and perhaps the most fluid combat animations you'll ever witness.
