We’re well into 2024 now, and the PS4 has yet to give up the ghost, so resilient is Sony’s previous-generation machine. Sony has had plenty of opportunities to declare that it was ending support for the PS4 in recent times, but it hasn’t seized any of those opportunities, so we can only assume that PS4 support will continue into the indefinite future. Of course, there’s always a chance that Sony will pull the plug at some point this year, but for now, if you still haven’t made the jump to PS5, there are lots of games you can still check…
It’s officially spring (well, according to the meteorological definition, anyway), and you know what that means: new life springing forth, temperatures rising, and, of course, plenty of new games to play. March is very often a solid month for game releases, too, with many triple-A delights and indie curios to try out. Whether you’re looking for lengthy RPGs or shorter, snackier experiences, March will provide, as it does in nature. The PS4 isn’t being left behind when it comes to games this month, either. Here are the best PS4 games to check out in March 2024! The Outlast Trials (March…
If you’re eagerly awaiting the first flush of spring, February can feel like the final hurdle before the weather finally starts to improve. In many places, it’s the last month during which darkness feels like it falls too early (for some, at least), and it’s also the month just before the big spring movie releases start to land. In the gaming world, February can often play host to some pretty significant titles; it’s not always the case that major tentpole releases land in February, but this year, you’ve certainly got more than enough choice as a PS4 gamer. Here are…
It’s probably fair to say that the more time passes, the more Sony seems to be leaving the PS4 behind. While the console is still certainly packing a punch when it comes to exclusives and game releases, each month leaves PS4 gamers with less and less to look forward to on the horizon. Of course, it’s probably a savvy idea to upgrade if you’ve got the money and the means; PS5 consoles are pretty widespread now, and it’s not difficult to get ahold of one like it was during the console’s early days on release. However, if you’re still clinging…
The 10 Most Underrated PS4 Games
Since the PlayStation 4 launched all the way back in November 2013, the system has seen more than its fair share of great games (and, of course, some less-than-great ones). All-time classics like God of War, The Last of Us Part II, and Bloodborne have cemented the PS4’s reputation as one of the greatest consoles of all time, and the machine is far from done, so we may well see more before too long. Such a strong software lineup is bound to lead to oversights, though, and there have been tons of games that have managed to slip through the…
In many ways, video games are the perfect platform for the grand drama of professional wrestling. Sure, a lot of pro wrestling is “fake” insofar as wrestlers will often communicate moves to one another and storylines are planned ahead of time, but there’s still plenty of potential for real physical injury, and it remains an intensely dangerous and exciting sport to watch. The melodramatic, infinitely compelling storylines are just the cherry on the pro wrestling cake, and what better way to experience them, as well as everything else great that wrestling has to offer, than through gaming? Here are our…
Have you ever heard of FuboTV? If not, you’d be forgiven for missing out on it; this sports streaming service mainly serves customers in the US and Canada (as well as Spain, for some reason), providing high-quality sports programming including access to the NBA, the NHL, and the NFL, among others. UK customers can unlock Fubo’s location restrictions by using a VPN, but it’s still a fairly niche streaming service that many haven’t heard of. If you are looking to use FuboTV, you might well be wondering if it’s compatible with your PS4. Is there, for instance, a native FuboTV…
Despite the fact that the PS4 is getting on in years, 2022 offered many worthwhile gaming experiences for the last-gen console. If you haven’t quite managed to get your hands on a PS5 yet, you need not despair; you can head into a game shop and still pick up plenty of goodies for your PS4. Many of the most popular and well-liked games of the year launched on the last-gen console as well as its next-gen successor, so without further ado, let’s take a look at the best PS4 games of 2022. Elden Ring Make no mistake: Elden Ring is…
If you’re still doing most of your gaming on an old PS4 Pro or even a retro-style base model from 2013, then rest assured you’re far from alone. While the PS5 has enjoyed some pretty strong sales, it’s certainly not the case that every PS4 owner has upgraded, and so even though Sony is planning to end official support for the PS4 in 2024 or 2025, it’s still important for third-party developers and publishers to make sure they’re offering their games for the last-gen console as well. Here are some of the best PS4 games to hit Sony’s console in…
It’s frustrating when you get an error message on your PS4. There you are, ready to start gaming in earnest, clutching your controller and getting excited about whatever game you’re firing up, when you’re slammed with a simple line of text on a blank background telling you that you’re not going to be playing your favourite title any time soon. Unfortunately, one of the most common errors you might see is “cannot communicate using SSL”, which is a strangely short and uninformative error that doesn’t really tell you much about what’s gone wrong or how you can fix it. Don’t…
The Best PS4 Games For July 2023
Every month, it seems like rumours that the PS4 will be discontinued swirl ever more violently. Despite the fact that Sony hasn’t announced anything officially, and has projected that its revenue won’t mainly consist of PS5 games until 2025, people continue to predict the PS4’s demise with increasing certainty. Of course, we know better; the PS4 is still very much going strong, and although July 2023 isn’t promising to be the last-gen console’s best month for releases, there’s still plenty to sink your teeth into, especially if you’re a fan of smaller or more niche releases. Here are the best…
The Best PS4 Games For June 2023
It’s still a great time to be a PS4 gamer. With plenty of releases still hitting last-gen consoles, if you still haven’t managed to secure yourself a PS5, then you don’t need to miss out on some of the biggest games around (although it’s now much easier to pick up a PS5, so if you can stretch to it financially, we’d still recommend doing so). June 2023 sees yet another slate of great games headed to the PS4, so grab your DualShock 4 and let’s take a look at some of the best PS4 games headed your way this month.…
We’re well into the ninth generation of consoles now. The PS5 was released way back in 2020, and since then, many games have been released that can only be played on the next-generation (or perhaps we should say current-generation) machines. Even still, many gamers are clinging onto their PS4 Pros or even their base PS4 models, hoping that Sony will continue to release games for their systems. At the moment, that hope appears to be paying off, because several high-profile releases for PS5 – including Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden West, and Dead Island 2 – have also come to…
With the PS4’s life cycle coming to an end (albeit not for a year or two yet), major game announcements for the last-gen console are becoming more and more scarce. More PlayStation-exclusive games are jumping ship to become PS5-only titles, and so the humble PS4 feels like it’s getting a little older and a little shakier. Even still, developers haven’t abandoned the old dog yet, and there are still some games heading to PS4 in the next couple of years that will be worth your while, it seems. Here are the best PS4 game announcements revealed during this year’s summer…
The Best Games Like DayZ For PS4
DayZ is one of the biggest success stories in gaming. What started out as a humble Arma 2 mod became one of the world’s most popular zombie survival sandbox experiences, going on to influence a huge amount of other games and taking its rightful place as zombie gaming royalty. You can pick up DayZ on PS4 right now if you’re yet to play it, but if you’ve exhausted your time with this excellent survival experience and you’re looking for something else to play, there’s no shortage of games out there. Here are the best games like DayZ for PS4. Fallout…
Sometimes, it feels like the media can’t make its mind up whether gaming is for children or not. Many people unfairly dismiss the hobby as infantile (although the number of people doing so is dropping significantly as gaming becomes more mainstream), but occasionally, an overly violent or disturbing game will catch the attention of moral guardians who claim the game is proof that the hobby is too adult. While it can be difficult to chart public opinion when it comes to gaming, the slightly shameful truth is that sometimes, there’s nothing quite like an M for Mature-rated game to get…
2023 is shaping up to be a great year for sports games. Since many of the most famous and beloved sporting franchises in gaming release yearly, you can, of course, look forward to the 2023 iterations of games like FIFA, Madden NFL, and NBA, but there are plenty of other surprises on the horizon as well, including some indie hopefuls and some intriguing-looking fantasy-style sports games as well. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the best sports games that are coming up for PS4 in 2023! Blood Bowl 3 (available now) If you’re a fan of…
We’re well into 2023 now, and Sony is showing no signs of discontinuing its phenomenally popular PS4. It’s much, much easier to get hold of a PS5 now, but many gamers are still clinging to their PS4 or PS4 Pro consoles, unwilling to make the jump to the current generation. That’s understandable; while the PS5 has a great library, the PS4’s arguably trumps it, and many people are still waiting for the single killer exclusive that convinces them to jump ship. May 2023 is another great month for PS4 owners, so let’s take a look at some of the best…
A lot of the most interesting and exciting things going on in the gaming industry tend to happen in independent circles. Progressive game concepts tend to be the premise of smaller studios with less to lose; while bigger studios spin their wheels in pursuit of proven strategies, indie studios are often trailblazers (not always, but more frequently). As you can probably imagine, 2023 has already given us its fair share of exciting indie games, and there are more to come besides. Here are the best PS4 indie games to look forward to in 2023! Tchia (March 21st) The influence of…
How well would you say you know the world we live in? Could you step up to the plate on a quiz show and confidently answer whatever questions were thrown at you? It’s a difficult skill to acquire; most of us have gaps in our knowledge, after all, and nobody can be expected to learn everything. With that said, trivia gaming on PS4 is a great way to test your general knowledge while having fun with your friends, and there are plenty of great trivia games out there to try. Here are the 12 best trivia games on PS4 to…
Ah, the Old West. While many of the tropes surrounding the Wild West are heavily romanticised, there’s still something undeniably attractive about the fantasy of the cowboy, the duster coat-wearing revolver-toting lone wolf who wanders the frontier and aids those in need. There are plenty of great PS4 games that cater to this fantasy, too; whether you want sandbox games or more straightforward shooters, you’ll find lots to enjoy. Here are the best PS4 Western games you can play right now. Red Dead Redemption 2 No list of the greatest PS4 Western games – or, indeed, the greatest games, full…
Is there any fantasy more compelling than jumping into a giant robot and causing havoc? Properties like Transformers and Gundam prove that there’s just something undeniably awesome about giant mechs, and movies like Pacific Rim manage to inject some heart into the classic mecha tropes as well. If you’re looking to live out the mecha fantasy on PS4, you’ll be glad to know that there are plenty of games that allow you to do just that. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the best PS4 mech games you can play right now. Titanfall 2 Not enough people bought…
Have you ever heard of Quadrapong? It was one of the first ever 4-player games produced, and was, as you can probably imagine from the name, a version of the classic game Pong that supported 4 players. Now, of course, we have many games available that offer multiplayer modes for you and your friends to enjoy, but it could be argued that the best of them are still using many of the principles espoused by Quadrapong. The graphics may be better and the gameplay may be flashier, but 4-player games are still fun thanks to the sheer chaos they provide.…
Gaming is accelerating as an art form. Games like Undertale are showing that emotionally affecting stories can be told directly through gameplay, while AAA monsters like God of War Ragnarok use their incredible production values to arguably match the quality of Hollywood cinematic narrative. Even still, sometimes you just want to gather a few friends and have some fun with your PS4. Luckily, Sony’s console has a rich library of party games that you can play, provided you’ve got the requisite amount of DualShock 4 controllers, of course. Here are the 15 best PS4 party games to play right now!…
There’s a famous quote that goes thus: “rugby is a game for hooligans played by gentlemen, and football is a game for gentlemen played by hooligans”. It’s often attributed to Oscar Wilde, but many quotes are, so it’s difficult to know whether he actually said it. There’s a grain of truth in the quote, though; rugby is often seen as the more “authentic” alternative to football. You might think there would be a glut of rugby video games on PS4 to choose from, but unfortunately, you’d be wrong; there’s not a tremendous amount of choice. Still, if you do want…
If you’re a cricket fan, you’ve probably had relatives or friends tell you they don’t understand the appeal of the sport. “Isn’t it slow and boring?” they’ll ask you, and time and time again, you’ll sigh patiently as you explain that cricket is actually a deeply strategic and compelling game if you put in the work to understand and appreciate it. Sceptics may have an even more difficult time understanding a cricket video game, but if you’re a PS4 gamer, you’ll find a good few options out there. Here are the 6 best PS4 cricket games to play right now…
Once upon a time, the gaming landscape was absolutely chock-full of great boxing games to play. During the PS2 era, franchises like Fight Night and Ready 2 Rumble gave boxing fans lots of options when it came to their boxing game experiences; whether you wanted something more realistic or you were more on the arcade side of things, you’d find a game that would cater to your tastes. Now, as we enter the ninth console generation, it’s much harder to find boxing game experiences, and the same was true of the eighth generation as well. With that said, if you’re…
The PS4 continues to be an excellent place to find all the latest and greatest games. While it’s true that an increasing number of titles are PS5-only, that isn’t the case for many indie games or third-party offerings, so if you’re still rocking a PS4 even after two years of the PS5 being on release, more power to you. February 2023 is looking like yet another great month for PS4 games, although PS4 owners will miss out on some of the biggest releases, so let’s take a look at the best PS4 games coming in February! Deliver Us Mars (February…
Ah, the mighty dinosaur. Our giant lizard ancestors have inspired so many delightful media franchises, not least among them Jurassic Park, arguably Godzilla, and many, many others. Dinosaurs are also the stars of some of our most beloved and celebrated video games, and it’s easy to see why. Getting to roam the land while dinosaurs stomp around is a fantasy we can only dream of, and games help us to achieve that. As you’d imagine, the PS4 has no shortage of great dinosaur titles, so without further ado, here are the 10 best PS4 dinosaur games to play right now.…
Greetings, human, and welcome to the post-apocalyptic robot future. You want to know what happened to get us here? Humour circuits activated. Ha ha ha. I cannot believe you are unfamiliar with the history of our robot-ruled world. What is that you are saying with your human voice box? Do we at least still have the PS4 in this future? Of course we do. We are not monsters. However, there are now only robot games. Do not waste your time with the also-rans. Here are the 10 best PS4 robot games to play right now. 1. Titanfall 2 The first…
There are very few experiences that help couples to bond more effectively than gaming. Whether your partner is already an avid gamer or they’ve never held a controller in their life, gaming can be a great way to bridge the divide and cooperate on something that you can both truly enjoy (or, indeed, compete with one another in a healthy way). If you’ve got a PS4, then you’ll be happy to know that there are a wide range of PS4 games for couples that you can check out. Here are the 15 best PS4 games for couples to play right…
