20 Awesome PS4 Exclusives You Need To Play Before PS5

10. Days Gone

Despite not being particularly well critically-received, Days Gone is a PS4 exclusive that's definitely worth your time.

The reviews were far too harsh on this title. While it's another adventure involving zombie-like creatures (which has been done to death in games), Days Gone stands out from the pack thanks to its great world to explore, biker-aesthetics and the absolutely terrifying hordes of Freakers you can go up against.

When you first start this game, you'll have absolutely no change against a horde. It's still a mystery to me how Sony Bend managed to get that many character models on screen at once, but somehow they did - in Days Gone, hundreds of Freakers will come after you at the same time, and you have to use every tactic, weapon and the environment to your advantage to have absolutely any chance of survival.

It looks stunning too. The environments of Days Gone are beautifully rendered, the Freakers and other monsters are detailed and really quite scary, and Deacon St. John is actually an excellent character with the weight of the world on his shoulders (and his bike).
