Marvel's Spiderman
Sony teamed up with Insomniac Games and Marvel to create this brand-new and authentic Spider-Man adventure.
Marvel's Spiderman is an open-world game that lets you play the web-slinging superhero in the city of New York. It lets you swing through the city, shoot webs at your enemies, throw things at thugs, and throw thugs at other thugs (honestly, the best part!)
It quickly became one of the fastest-selling games of the year after its release on September 7, 2018. The PS4 exclusive game launched a Game of the Year edition that included The City That Never Sleeps DLC.
Pros:
Web swinging gives a sense of freedom and control | Beautiful open-world | Great character performances | Great storyline
Cons:
Familiar open-world structure | Repetitive Animations and Sequences | Occasional awkward camera movement

Days Gone
Days Gone is a PS4 exclusive title that's set in a vast open-world where various hostile factions and zombie hordes (called "freakers") all live together.
Days Gone sees the story of a biker who formerly ran with a fictional gang called the Mongrels. The game offers lots of driving, foraging, sneaking, and fighting. There's also an upgrade tree and a system of power-ups.
The game also involves upgrading your bicycle, which is a simple but oddly satisfying task.
Pros:
Beautiful world setting | Open-ended zombie survival | Zombie hordes
Cons:
Messy story | Minor bugs

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
The Fallen Order is made by a newly formed team led by God of War III director Stig Asmussen and Apex Legends developer Respawn.
The Fallen Order has the feel of games like Bloodbourne, Uncharted, and The Legend Of Zelda. Combat sequences will remind you of Bloodbourne as they work almost the same way---variations of light and heavy attacks, parrying, and countering to replenish your Force.
Abilities are saved and unlocked via a skill tree at "bonfires". The save points also replenish your stock of health potions and respawn minor enemies.
Pros:
The Lightsaber | Planets are dense and intricate | Challenging without being frustrating
Cons:
Imprecise platforming | Visually rougher | Dull characters

NBA 2K20
Every year, the NBA 2K franchise dominates the charts in the world of sports video games. They're the most popular basketball game title, and series, on the market.
Besides running across the court and shooting hoops, the NBA 2K franchise is known for its top-notch commentary that makes you feel like you're watching a televised game.
Every year, NBA 2K also brings in better and improved graphics that render even the tiniest details like tattoos, hairstyles, and accessories. NBA 2K20's graphics just knocks the ball out of the park.
Pros:
Gorgeous graphics | Roster Variety | WNBA | MyCareer Storyline | Realistic Gameplay
Cons:
No Improvements to MyLeague | MyGM Mode is limited | MyPlayer Builder is lacking | Clunky AI | Weak Halftime Show

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a game for aggressive players who are ready to get stomped and smashed by numerous enemies.
In Sekiro, you play a shinobi who's on a mission to rescue your kidnapped master. Most of your time is spent cutting down bosses and minibosses across a huge world.
Most bosses can kill you in a couple of hits, and you'll die hundred of times ("rage quit" mode on!) It's more punishing than Dark Souls or Bloodborne, but it's more rewarding too.
Pros:
Aggressive and realistic combat | Clear story with plenty of side quests | Non-linear
Cons:
Shoddy stealth | Recycled bosses | Lack of customization

LEGO DC Super-Villains
LEGO DC Super-Villains is a fresh take on LEGO games by letting players control DC's villains and anti-heroes like The Joker, Harley Quinn and Lex Luthor.
LEGO DC Super-Villains also added a character creator, making this the first LEGO series of video games to allow custom characters. Players can now dress their own super-villain anyway they want to. You can also choose your villain's powers and abilities.
Just like other titles in the LEGO series of video games, LEGO DC Super-Villains will let you play the game with a friend with the two player co-op feature.
Pros:
Improved combat | Custom Character feature | Refined hub world navigation | Comic cook references
Cons:
Vehicles handle terribly | Familiar LEGO game bugs

Borderlands 3
Borderlands has been one of the best titles ever since the first game of its series was released.
Borderlands 3 plays the same way as the other 2 titles. As with the past installments in the series, your choice of character at the beginning will define your experience for the rest of the game.
Pros:
Satisfying conclusion to the game's 10-year journey | Allows for strategic loadout builds | Play with friends
