12 Best PS4 Exclusives Of The Generation So Far

6. Bloodborne

No doubt there'll be a few angry voices in the comments yelling that this should be higher up, and although I'm totally with you in terms of Bloodborne being an exemplary game, it didn't change up the established Souls formula THAT much, I'll be honest.

Let's stick with the positives though, as FromSoftware almost reinvented how to 'do' horror in a video game, framing their tribute to H.P. Lovecraft with all manner of disgusting beasts, cosmological entities, dank cobblestoned streets and makeshift weapons to fend off the hordes. They also amped up the general speed of gameplay, marrying the brutal Souls-like difficulty curve with a faster dodge move, and a mechanic that recovers health if you retaliate immediately.

Both things change up how the game is played, forever keeping you on your toes, and forcing you to wade into the horrors ahead like the a slightly more prepared axe-wielding madman.
