PS4: 10 Best Console Exclusives You Need To Play

1. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

It's quite hard to end a series in a way that satisfies fans of the franchise while working as a perfect entry point for newcomers, but Uncharted 4: A Thief's End accomplishes both feats with aplomb. Serving as both a heartfelt conclusion to Nathan Drake's tale and an enjoyable action-adventure all by itself, A Thief's End naturally expands the Uncharted framework with a very welcome slice of non-linearity.

Because, for the first time, the levels don't go straight from point A to point B. They start at point A, then zig-zag off down an entirely different path, the player stealthing or shooting or puzzling their way through everything Uncharted 4's meaty campaign can throw at them. How you get to point B is completely in your hands.

Elsewhere, the voice acting and motion-capture performances are the best in the industry, the game looks better than anything else on consoles - even trumping a good chunk of PC titles - and the third-person cover-based shooting is slick, refined and without fault.

Do yourself a favour; chart a course to your nearest retailer and pick up a copy.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
