20 Awesome PS4 Exclusives You Need To Play Before PS5

15. Until Dawn

Shadow Of The Colossus
Supermassive

If you're a big fan of survival horror games, Until Dawn is a real treat.

Filled with plenty of jump scares, twists and turns and classic horror tropes, Until Dawn stars a cast of 8 young adults who find themselves in a very dire situation while staying at Blackwood Mountain.

Where it really stands out from the pack of other horror games out there is in the way it presents its story. Until Dawn uses a 'butterfly effect' system akin to RPGs such as Mass Effect, where decisions you make, either big or small, can have a massive effect on how the story ultimately plays out. This not only gives the game a great amount of replayability, but it also encourages you to think about what you're doing.

If you can get through a few hokey scenes (the game itself is a sort-of parody of B-Movie teen horror flicks), there's a lot to love here and some genuinely terrifying moments to experience too.

There's also some quite big names who lend their likeness to this game too; Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody, I Robot) stars as Josh Washington and Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) is Sam Giddings.
