20 Best PS4 Exclusives - Ranked

And finally, we have a game that absolutely wouldn't be the consensus favourite in any player polls, but in terms of gameplay and achieving what it set out to do, is the best exclusive the PS4 has ever produced.

Without giving anything away, The Last of Us Part II is not made to appeal to player sentimentality or what they think a sequel should be: it is a fiercely, stridently original follow-up to its classic predecessor, telling an ugly and deeply unsettling tale focused on hate, violence, and revenge.

Though there are certainly arguments to be made that its 20-plus-hour playtime is a little over-stretched, as an achievement in mind-bogglingly fluid gameplay systems, state-of-the-art visual presentation, and note-perfect performance, it is a pure marvel from the tech wizards at Naughty Dog.

Even if you weren't bowled over by the various twists and turns throughout the consistently surprising story, it's hard to argue with its masterfully executed traversal and combat.
