18 Essential PS4 Games Every Owner Must Play

17. The Division

'Loot shooters', as they're slowly becoming known as, can be done well, or terribly. Look to Destiny for the latter, whereas you can tell with The Division that Ubisoft really needed to craft a triple-A product that would stand tall as a statement of intent from the studio, not a broken and buggy disappointment like Assassin's Creed: Unity or Watch Dogs.

As such, Ubisoft Massive have built a gorgeous representation of New York City for you to explore, replete with recreations of iconic landmarks, accurately-mapped streets and a ton of missions, collectibles and story elements to hoover up. Seriously, it's a damn good job the third-person shooting here is so solid and satisfying, as you'll be doing it for hundreds of hours if you find this sort of game scratches your itch.

The loot aspect mentioned earlier applies to everything from weapons to clothing items, weapon mods and crafting components. There's always a way to improve your character and keep taking the fight to the gangs on the streets, and its this constant grind that makes the full gameplay loop so incredibly addictive.

The Division is available to buy from Amazon.
