10 Best PS4 Games Of 2018 - Ranked

7. Yakuza Kiwami 2

Shadow Of The Colossus Remake
Sega

Back in 2006, Sega launched a title called Yakuza 2, which the company remade in 2016 with Yakuza Kiwami. In 2018, they remade it another time with the release of Yakuza Kiwami 2 on an entirely new Dragon game engine. Yakuza Kiwami 2 was dropped on August 28, 2018 and outperformed its predecessors in nearly every possible way.

This isn't simply a remake of the original or the remake that came before it. The developers added numerous storylines, expanded upon older ones, resolved sketchy plot points, and added new features and gameplay enhancements to take advantage of the PS4's robust capabilities.

The story is compelling and draws the player into a world they probably wouldn't ever want to invade outside of a video game. The combat is intense and allows players to seamlessly grab whatever they see around the city and use it as a weapon.

Overall, Yakuza Kiwami 2 was rated highly by critics and players alike with scores averaging 8.5/10 on Metacritic. One of the most notable aspects of the game (other than the story) players appreciated was the seamless transitions between locations and beginning battles that make the game play out like a movie.
