15 Most Underrated PS4 Games of All Time

15 Most Underrated PS4 Games of All Time

It’s fair to think of the PS4 generation as a vibrant eco-system; once in full swing, with digital purchases becoming a major method in which player’s purchase their games, we saw for the first time in gaming history the small-time game developers taking on the big guns in the industry.

Of course, the playing field is never level, and the best games don’t always rise to the top, oftentimes overshadowed by long-established franchises and bigger budgets.

    Until Dawn was one of the first games I played on PS4 and I absolutely loved it. There are an entire class of these games where you can play through once and get one ending, then play through again and get a totally different one. The Dark Pictures Anthology is one of these sets, so was Become Human, which was made by the same company that made Until Dawn. Its nice that they’re not just running and shooting games – the genre is so oversaturated with those.

    I wouldn’t say that all of these games were underrated. Until down was a huge success and a household name for the PlayStation as a platform for years. I played mad max on release. Still one of my all time favourites. I like Mel Gibson’s films and definitely not the new ones.

    Tokyo Xanadu ex+

    Abzu still has some of the best art design and use of color I’ve ever seen in a video game



  6. alek javier on January 22, 2022 at 4:27 pm

    u will see tons of sites and channels that includes until dawn on their top ps4 games and it sold millions
    its not as underrated as u said
    even commenters and reviewers always mentioned until dawn on reviews of a game of the same genre



  7. robert newman on January 22, 2022 at 4:27 pm

    Until dawn is stupid imo



  8. FroZenNinja on January 22, 2022 at 4:30 pm

    Lotta love for Mad Max in the comments. I think I have that from PS Plus a long while ago. Might have to give it a go.



  9. Kalyan D on January 22, 2022 at 4:31 pm

    Prey is my favourite



  10. MrKlein83 on January 22, 2022 at 4:32 pm

    Stumbled across the 17min video for Shadow Warrior 3, blew me away! Bought Shadow Warrior 1&2 on PS store, couldn’t really get into SW1. Decided to give SW2 a try, been having an absolute blast! Such a fun game, can’t wait for #3.



  11. Gus Rowan on January 22, 2022 at 4:32 pm

    Salt and sanctuary
    Odin sphere
    Dragon’s crown 13 sentinels
    Crosscode
    Ghostrunner
    Kingdoms of amalur re reckoning. ( more people seriously need to play it)
    Greedfall
    Valley
    Ziggurat
    Rime
    Dust

    Some of my underrated games



  12. Oscar Rodriguez on January 22, 2022 at 4:35 pm

    Thanks for remember me Nex Machina , is on sale at this moment for 5 bucks



  13. Camera Punk on January 22, 2022 at 4:36 pm

    Will you do this type of list for Nintendo and Microsoft please? Great vid



  14. Ryan James on January 22, 2022 at 4:36 pm

    Anyone else feel like the caption of this video "The most underrated ps4 games of all time" is worded incorrectly? Like how can games specific to one console and the consoles specific generation have an "Of all time" attached to it? Shouldn’t say… "the most underrated ps4 games" Period? LOL.

    Idk….seems odd to me.



  15. Lippy Da Lips on January 22, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Death Stranding I think should have been on this list, but I dunno maybe because it’s on the PS5 is can’t be Lol but I just wanna say to anyone listening who Loved Metal Gear Solid and hasn’t played Death Stranding or heard it wasn’t very good give it another chance like I have….. The Game IS AMAZING 10 OUTTA 10 ALL DAY LONG!!! And if you still don’t believe Me go watch the first couple hours of THE MOVIE(FAN MADE) ON YOUTUBE, WHAT A GAME!!!😁🇬🇧❤👍



  16. Jon F on January 22, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    there is literally a hyper light drifter netflix show in the works, it’s not underrated



  17. ReddogG on January 22, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Pretty sure until dawn and Mad max are ps4 greatest hits. I don’t see how that is being underrated



  18. FCF on January 22, 2022 at 4:40 pm

    Those are not only on PS4 though; one would assume that those were games mainly released for Ps4



  19. caos024 on January 22, 2022 at 4:44 pm

    Mad Max, Prey and Dying Light are 3 of the most underrated games last gen for sure.



  20. Scott D on January 22, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    Housemarque is now my favorite Developer. They come with nothing but pure gaming fun.



  21. dxe 777 on January 22, 2022 at 4:45 pm

    Mid max



  22. Cream pie you on January 22, 2022 at 4:46 pm

    how are these ps4 games?? these are mostly cross platform? very clicbait.



  23. Rick Shaw on January 22, 2022 at 4:47 pm

    Mad max is amazing!



  24. Flip Ros on January 22, 2022 at 4:47 pm

    I played 13 Sentinels, Prey and Evil Within. They’re were all phenomenal. I also played Mad Max free for PS+, didn’t like it as much.



  25. Boom Daddy Cool on January 22, 2022 at 4:48 pm

    It’s literally a crime how under appreciated Tetris Effect Connected is, it truly revolutionized an old out dated formula into a modernized classic that is challenging, fun and at times emotional, if u don’t get the feels playing this game then your just not human plain and simple.



  26. FG PT on January 22, 2022 at 4:51 pm

    I agree with all these games being awesome. played and finished them all



  27. Brandon Smythe on January 22, 2022 at 4:52 pm

    Can’t go wrong hanging out with a dude named Scrotus



  28. Daniel Irving on January 22, 2022 at 4:54 pm

    PS4 and Xbox One

    The next gen tech that was spammed by 2D and 8bit outdated games.

    I buy next gen tech to play next gen software.

    If I wanted to play this overused genre we were spammed with, I’d pull out my NES and Atari



  29. Mr Bransformer on January 22, 2022 at 4:54 pm

    Is this the mind warehouse guy



  30. Mr. Irrelevent on January 22, 2022 at 4:56 pm

    Mad max game>> fury road



  31. Curry Chips on January 22, 2022 at 4:57 pm

    Tetris effect is cracking.



  32. Felipe Ángel on January 22, 2022 at 4:58 pm

    Mad max is amazing



  33. うぃんたーず on January 22, 2022 at 4:59 pm

    Man Evil Within 2 was a terrible game. The first game was better.



  34. captainexiled on January 22, 2022 at 4:59 pm

    Why does PlayStation still NOT have a decent competitor for Xbox Game Pass??!! Many games on this list are free on Game Pass. Just sayin… Step it up Sony!!! Lol. 😎



  35. Zero Accountability on January 22, 2022 at 5:00 pm

    Hyper Light Drifter is a masterpiece.
    Beautiful art direction, great variety of enemies to fight and locations to explore, simple yet challenging combat, amazing original soundtrack. I played that game for 150+ hours and loved every minute.



  36. Matt Styles on January 22, 2022 at 5:01 pm

    Hyper light, thumper, and Prey are not underrated at all. They got alot of attention when they came out. That’s accurately rated. Not under.
    Evil within was rated well too. It didn’t blow away the sales. But still got good scores. I dont think u know what underrated means



  37. James Clendenin on January 22, 2022 at 5:03 pm

    The Evil Within 1 is better than 2, and definitely more underrated. Coming from someone who has replayed both several times and beaten them on their higher difficulties.



  38. Elliott Schuhardt on January 22, 2022 at 5:03 pm

    Very few of these are Ps4 exclusives, but the inclusions are mostly great. Both Mad Max and Prey are incredible and underrated.



  39. Luka Stemberger on January 22, 2022 at 5:03 pm

    It’s strange that you didn’t mention Thumper and Tetris Effect can be played in PSVR, which makes them so much more enjoyable.



  40. Matt Pike on January 22, 2022 at 5:04 pm

    Good vid as always, but I question until dawn being included. Undeniably great game, but it reviewed well, and sold millions of copies. I don’t see any metric you could use to call it underrated.



  41. Asthmatic Attack on January 22, 2022 at 5:07 pm

    Liked the video solely for #13 hella great game and franchise really hope a 3rd one becomes a thing at some point



  42. Chilly64 on January 22, 2022 at 5:08 pm

    Wipeout Omega Collection is my number one.
    Nobody talks about that game anymore. Amazing gameplay at a butter smooth frame rate with great use of HDR.



  43. Velosiped on January 22, 2022 at 5:12 pm

    Mad Max is SOOOOOO underrated. It is an absolutely phenomenal game. They NAILED the post-apocalyptic look and feel. As strange as it sounds, it shares a lot in common with Ghost of Tsushima, and if you loved Ghost, you will love Mad Max.



  44. Deuz Deuz on January 22, 2022 at 5:12 pm

    Mad Max is sooo underrated! I enjoyed it a thousand times more than other open worlds like Horizon or GTA5, because it was just fun!



  45. DJ Mizzy on January 22, 2022 at 5:13 pm

    I couldn’t stand the narrators voice. Why are you talking to the viewers like we’re babies ? Get it together



  46. JoeBidens Handler on January 22, 2022 at 5:13 pm

    Mad Max needs more games !



  47. Tyler Peck on January 22, 2022 at 5:15 pm

    still on the fence with Mad Max.. but it def has my curiosity



  48. ThatOneGuy11 on January 22, 2022 at 5:15 pm

    I never really thought of Until Dawn as underrated. Seems like everyone and their mother played it and, for the most part, enjoyed it. That vr "sequel", on the other hand…..



  49. Jonathon Hennessey on January 22, 2022 at 5:16 pm

    I really liked the Mad Max video game the vehicular combat was great and I also enjoyed the little references to the movies.



  50. B Dre on January 22, 2022 at 5:16 pm

    Hyper light Drifter is a truly amazing game, I proudly own the physical release.
