1. Last Day of June

Last Day of June is a gentle and emotional game where you will need to live on one bright afternoon multiple times with the main goal of avoiding a tragedy from happening.

It might not make you feel like you’re playing a new game, but it will surely bring some tears to roll down on your cheeks. This is a type of game where you will have an old couple that grows together side by side as they felt the loss of the loved ones, all while sitting on an armchair together.

Overall, it’s a puzzling game with the aim of saving the life of your partner.

2. A Plague Tale Innocence

A Plague Tale Innocence is more focused on the ability of you to take care of your helpless brother to fight against the evil inquisition soldiers. There is a lot of monsters and not to mention rats, that you will need to run away from.

It’s best to play this game at night in your room, and don’t forget to run the lights off to enhance the mood and effects of the game. Players will basically control a girl named Amicia De Rune, and you will need to escape the village that had been hit by a terrible plague that turned everyone into a zombie-like state where they will try to either beat or kill you with their weapons. Overall, it’s a bone-chilling game that you should definitely give a shot.

3. God of War PS4

God of War PS4, one of the most expected titles, has not disappointed us. It comes with stunning graphics, an entirely new game mechanic, and a whole new world and storyline to explore. While still consisting of brutal and violent battle scenes, the pace has been reduced with lots of changes.

Following the game, you will find that these changes are perfectly fit in the contexts. Along with that, interesting puzzles and breath-taking fights will make God of War PS4 a must-play if you’re looking for the best adventure PS4 games.

4. Monster Hunter: World

Monster Hunter fans often say: “If you want to know why many people love Monster Hunter, you have to play it”. And yes, spending hours playing Monster Hunter is just amazing. The game has huge maps to explore with countless giant monsters and evil gods for you to fight with. You can go solo or form a team to deal with tough targets.

On top of that, you can never run out of fun as there isn’t short on things to do in Monster Hunter. The game might not be the most approachable title, but definitely one of the most addictive ones.

5. Persona 5

After playing Persona 5, I found out that high-school life was not as boring as it was in real life. You will start the game as a new high-school student in Tokyo. But you will soon realize that you have the ability to penetrate through people’s subconscious mind. And such power is used to deal with villains and bring them back to justice, making you a true hero who is loved by every student at the school.

But that’s not all of it, you will also have the chance to experience the life of a high-school student. Hanging out with friends, studying the old lessons, and even a little romance would make the game so addictive for gamers.

6. NieR: Automata

This game set you in a future world where the earth is basically rampaged by robots and machines. You will play as a “female” robot named Nier who is on her adventure to unfold a twisted revelation that involves the whole story.

It’s not a straightforward adventure-action game where all you will do is “beat-em-up”. Instead, the game focuses more on solving problems and revealing mysteries. And if you think you’re that type of gamers, then Nier: Automata is definitely one of the best adventure PS4 games to play.

7. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

The game focus on details which explain its success. If you’re familiar with the series, you can probably think of what this game is about.

Not only exciting, breathtaking actions, the game also has lots of running, jumping, and puzzle solving. These are distinctive factors of Uncharted. But it’s is how the studio handles the small details that make the game so impressive. Apart from that, the well-written storyline also makes the game quite interesting for gamers to play.

8. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher series has always been a solid choice for open-world gamers. It’s like Skyrim but with a much better combat system. You will be playing as Geralt, in his latest adventure.

The main story is as exciting and thrilling as it can get, while the quest system will blow your mind. There are countless of different scenario which you can achieve by select different items in dilemmas. With this game, you will never run out of things to do.

9. Rise Of The Tomb Raider

It has been exactly two decades from the day when Lara Croft’s first adventure. Hence, you can expect awesome stuff from this “20 Year Celebration’s Edition”.

The game takes place in Siberia where Lara explore the lost city of Kitezh in her quest to fulfill her father’s work. With the new platforming and zip-lining, players will experience a completely different height compared to the old version. Plus, the difficult-but-addictive puzzles and substantive combat will prompt you hours and hours playing this game.

10. Grand Theft Auto 5

The famous GTA 5, which is also everyone’s favorite on the PS3 and PC, has come to the current-gen hardware. The game doesn’t come with fancy graphics updates or improvements in gameplay, but it is in the replay value of GTA itself.

Do you remember how much time you’ve spent on GTA Vice City or Liberty City? In an open world, there are tons of different things for you to explore. If you haven’t played the game yet, you must give it a try right now. And if you’ve played GTA 5, you will never feel like a re-run when playing this game on your console.

11. Bloodborne

Just like the title, there will be no short on blood-spilling scenes in Bloodborne. The game is based on the Souls series with the same fundamental elements and features. But Hidetaka Miyazaki and his co-workers have intensified the effects and details to make this game a gore-soaked masterpiece. It’s definitely worth playing if you’re a Dark Souls fan, but you should also consider if you’re panicky.

12. Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of the most successful game titles that deserves a slot on our list. Adventure gamers might find Horizon Zero Dawn quite familiar to Uncharted and Tomb Rider with an immersive open world. On the other hand, the gameplay has a little bit of God of War and Far Cry elements, making it wonderful to spend hours playing.

Moreover, you will have access to a huge craft system with countless items you can make using the most basic ingredients. If you love Far Cry, this would definitely satisfy you. On the other hand, it’s not a simple game for anyone who is looking for an easy win.

13. Days Gone

This game is an open-world zombie survival game that features hordes of ugly zombies with impressive graphics that make it seem like it’s all real. Some of the weapons that you may use include some type of rifles, a military-grade knife that you could use to slit the throat of the zombies by sneaking from their back, as well as some bombs to help you finish the crowds.

However, this game’s most interesting feature is the ability to drive a car or ride a motorcycle, which can be very useful when you are trying to escape from being eaten alive by the zombies.

14. Firewatch

Firewatch is about escaping threats, friendship, loneliness, and keeping up with the reality of life.

Players will chop down some trees to build their desired building, catching wild animals such as fish and turtles to be cooked later on for dinner. By default, you will have a light axe that you may use to help you explore the entire jungle, and there is also a walkie talkie that you may use to communicate with your friends. There will be multiples lookout towers in the jungle, and you will need to stay alive by cooperating with the bots or your friends to find some goods. Most of the goods you can find include toilet paper and trowel laying around on the bed of the woods.

15. State of Mind

Richard Nolan’s world is full of chaotic events, and his life has been extremely bad lately as he had a car accident recently. Both of his wife and son are missing, and as though that wasn’t enough, he just lost his job today.

However, there is something strange in his apartment. Sitting in the corner of his room in his apartment is a futuristic robot. If you haven’t already guessed it by now, this game is an adventurous sci-fi mystery game where you will play Nolan, who is an investigative journalist that does a lot of casework.

Brace yourself as you get through the challenges mostly caused by the United States of the West in the year 2048 that rule the country with martial law. Overall, it’s fun but challenging at the same time, so it could be quite frustrating at times.

16. Stay

Stay is an interesting adventure game that is literally unique because it sort of reminds me of the time when I used to chat with my friends late at night on MSN messenger. Basically, it’s a game where you will be able to chat with the characters in the game but not just having a regular chat.

In this game, you will have the option to make people go crazy by repeatedly nudging them, change your background images, and even put on your favorite music in the background while you are playing the game.

17. The Occupation

This game can best be described as a game that combines the elements of having a sublime atmosphere combines with intriguing puzzles that are mind-boggling.

The first event in this game took place in North West England and somewhere in the fantasy place known as Turing City. Just in case you thought that the challenges in this game are tough to crack, I can assure you that they are not.

You will play Harvey Miller, who is an investigator, and you will need to solve the mysteries that linger behind the rumors of a bomb that took over 21 lives. Some suspected it to be caused by illegal immigrants. Not only that, but you will also need to expose the Union Act, which is a type of legislation that provide a form of a threat to civil liberties.

18. Concrete Genie

There is a lot of things that can be considered impressive when it comes to the Concrete Genie villain, but the main focus remains on the young boy named Ash. This guy knows how to value aesthetics as he’s an artist. By using his large magical paintbrush, Ash would utilize the fishing village that has long been abandoned by people to use it as his canvas. He would splash multiple colors on the walls to bring the spirits back to life.

You will play the game as Ash, and you can turn your paints into a reality as magical creatures may be spawned by simply sweeping your paintbrush on the wall. These creatures are known as genies, and I have to admit, they’re super cute and adorable.

19. Destroy All Humans (2020 Version)

In the past 15 years, the world was invaded by a superintelligence alien race. The chief that leads the Earth’s invasion operation is namely known as Cryptosporidium-137, and he is famously known by the name Crypto. He is a tiny grey alien wearing a Teflon suit with a pair of silvery eyes and a weird bulging head.

In this game, players have the option to play as the alien, and you can do a whole lot of things being an alien. One of the things that you can do is to hunt down humans by using your highly powered laser gun. Most humans are weak and can be easily killed by a single zap.

You can also recycle the dust of the earthly materials to turn it into ammunition for your laser gun, which makes you almost unstoppable. Apart from that, you may also choose to laser the humans from the comfort of your own spacecraft, so have fun killing people to make them extinct.

20. The Pathless

In this game, players will be controlling a woman that is known as the Hunter that will boat through the gloomy atmosphere of the jungle to what is being referred to as the island of the edge of the world. According to the legends, it is the place of intersection between the realm of man and spirits.

This place might be just the place that the Hunter is looking for, as she was known to be originated from somewhere near this location. When browsing around the jungle, be careful not to stumble across the monster as you will need to kill them to death if they spot you coming right at them or being somewhere near them.

Overall, this game is quite fun to play around with if you need a game that you can play but at the same time don’t want to focus too much attention on it.

21. Rogue Legacy

Rogue Legacy provides the players with complete control over the whole bloodline of the mighty knights, and I can’t help feeling quite guilty about it. The reason for this is that payers are allowed to exploit every single generation of powerful knights just to be able to exploit every gold that Castle Hamson has.

The action of stealing gold from other castles is essential to establish your own fortune, ensuring the survival of your progeny as well as increasing the armor and damage of your whole army. As soon as you die, you will be automatically revived, and you may pick which type of class, magic ability, and status that you want your knight to have.

One way to play this is by gathering enough coins so that you will be able to make the next generation of a knight to be stronger than the previous one so that eventually you will be able to defeat the big boss.
