Best PlayStation 4 Games

NXTO's catalog has 2,494 PlayStation 4 games. These 30 rank highest once player ratings, Metacritic scores and Steam reviews are combined. The top three: Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last Of Us and God of War (2018).

How it's ranked: a blend of RAWG player ratings, Metacritic and Steam reviews, adjusted so games with very few ratings can't outrank well-proven ones. Times are average player-reported playtime, so treat them as rough guides.
