Every Major PS4 Exclusive - Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Nioh

Back to the Souls formula, and Team Ninja's return to putting a sword in your hand has resulted in them crafting one of the finest games of their career.

Sitting right next to Ninja Gaiden, Nioh takes the base staple of exploration-based combat seen in Dark Souls, supplanting it with a loot system and far more moveset customisation as far as your character is concerned. The former lets you battle the A.I.-controlled ghosts of any real-world fallen players, being rewarded with their equipment in tow, as the latter means you can unlock various ways to parry, attack from behind or deploy magic and ninjutsu attacks.

Overall, the idea of 'Samurai Souls' is inviting on paper, but the mechanical innovations Team Ninja have implemented give Dark Souls a run for its money, creating the finest pure action game on PS4.
