10 Most Essential PS4 Exclusives - Ranked

8. Until Dawn

As a set of genre tropes, teen horror largely goes unexplored or used in the modern horror-scape. We're all about first-person survival-type experiences, or gimmicky, volume-blasting jump scare-fests like Five Nights at Freddy's.

In Until Dawn, all that falls by the wayside, as you literally play through an amalgamation of [insert your favourite teen horror here] mixed with Telltale-style choose-your-own-adventure point n' click gameplay. Brilliantly, every major decision actually does impact both the ending, and who lives and dies in the moment - none of this "Illusion of choice" stuff Telltale fall back on.

Here, if you mess up on a button prompt or otherwise get something wrong, the butterfly effect is in full force, slicing off heads, seeing characters get eaten alive - and that's only at the beginning of the third act.

Ostensibly framed as a mystery - solving what goes bump in the night when your crew are staying at a cabin in the woods - the frequent cutaways to a series of post-game psychology sessions only deepen the tension as to what's going to happen next. For some reason this didn't sell anywhere near as much as it should, leaving Telltale's naff recent output to routinely sully the potential of the entire modern point n' click genre.
