18 Essential PS4 Games Every Owner Must Play

9. Grand Theft Auto V

At this stage, GTA is pretty much a gaming institution. Consumers share stories of a million first experiences that came together randomly, fellow developers learn lessons on how to build the most impressive open-worlds of all time, and Rockstar themselves are forever fleshing it out in a million directions at once.

You simply need to play GTA V, because outside of it being a game, it has that envious status as a cultural touchstone that simply every single person has an opinion on.

Whether you like indulging in your most nihilistic side and fancy taking a monster truck for a spin as fleets of law enforcement try and fail to bring you in, or you just want to breathe in one of the most lifelike and responsive cities ever programmed, GTA V is the living embodiment of what the world's most successful video game looks like in motion.

GTA V is available to buy from Amazon.
