The Best Games of the PS4/Xbox One Generation

With the PS5 and Xbox Series X finally here, we wanted to take a look back at the console generation we’re leaving behind.

You can check out the full list here (https://www.ign.com/articles/best-ps4-xbox-one-games), but here are – in no particular order – twelve of our favorite games of the PS4 and Xbox One generation.

  5. IIIAHMIII on April 5, 2021 at 12:43 am

    Uncharted-4 TLOU2 Spiderman WTF?



  12. Junomaster on April 5, 2021 at 12:51 am

    Thank goodness that garbage games like Halo & Fartnite didn’t make the list. Sad that there are special needs fans that are oblivious how awful these games are.



  13. Jules A on April 5, 2021 at 12:51 am

    I suppose breath of the wild doesn’t exist.



  14. Jo Gr on April 5, 2021 at 12:54 am

    for my taste a little to less indies on the list… there was more than just shovel knight



  15. Michael Arriola on April 5, 2021 at 12:56 am

  17. Neelmani Yadav on April 5, 2021 at 12:59 am

    Ripped

    It’s IGNs list and there is no Call of Duty and The Last of us part 2



  18. Casul Games Production on April 5, 2021 at 12:59 am

    Death stranding deserved to be here. What a transcendent title. So should Spiderman PS4



  19. Casul Games Production on April 5, 2021 at 1:00 am

    Basically if you own a PS4, you are covered.



  20. Rafael on April 5, 2021 at 1:01 am

    Fortnite needs to be on here … never seen a game so popular at it’s peak



  21. stripe801 on April 5, 2021 at 1:02 am

    i just read it. Lost aLL credibiLity by having gone home & fortnite on there. stopped reading after that.



  22. E. Kanoğlu on April 5, 2021 at 1:02 am

    Where the hell is Last of Us series???



  23. Croatia Quad experience on April 5, 2021 at 1:03 am

    Red dead redemption 2 for the win! Its not only a game, it is a adventure!



  24. Ladiesman1447 on April 5, 2021 at 1:04 am

    Best generation ever.



  25. shannon yazell on April 5, 2021 at 1:05 am

    Shovel knight is straight HEAT



  26. Mensch gebliebener Sterbehelfer67 on April 5, 2021 at 1:06 am

    What a shitty generation of games. Not one game on this list that I would rate more than 8/10 tops.



  27. Brian on April 5, 2021 at 1:08 am

    This is probably a super unpopular opinion but I think the game I enjoyed the most this generation is Shadow of Mordor. 😅



  28. Chad Gaming on April 5, 2021 at 1:10 am

    Where was Spider-Man and the Uncharted franchise?



  29. -finleymorris04- on April 5, 2021 at 1:11 am

    Inb4 the list is kinda dogshit



  30. Renard Ryan Ramos on April 5, 2021 at 1:11 am

    Shouldn’t your rated 9.6 Fortnite be on this list?



  31. Jonparelli on April 5, 2021 at 1:13 am

    My top three would be Bloodborne, Resident Evil 2 and RDR2, all of them being masterpieces in their own genres. An honorable mention would go to MW for bringing back my interest in pvp games and the Tony Hawk remake for being such a great throwback to my teenage years.



  32. antonio tapia on April 5, 2021 at 1:13 am

    The Witcher 3 is the greatest game I have played. I don’t know what it is but I could play over and over again



  33. GoMhaaad on April 5, 2021 at 1:13 am

    I would have loved it is Persona 5 Royale was included here but having FFXIV as the 1st mention is enough to satisfy me.



  34. Hayk Sahakoglu on April 5, 2021 at 1:13 am

    Fifa 17
    NBA 2k19
    F1’20
    Ufc 3



  35. MayoinxAce on April 5, 2021 at 1:13 am

    No fortnite?



  36. Jeffery Flood on April 5, 2021 at 1:15 am

    So many of yahll are literally clones that think exactly the same. Say the same things and do absolutely the same thing



  37. Andries Potgieter on April 5, 2021 at 1:16 am

    I think Warzone changed how all royale games quality would need be in future to compare!



  38. Matt Ellwood on April 5, 2021 at 1:17 am

    Persona 5 Royal maybe? Ya know…. the highest rated game of 2020 🤷🏻‍♂️



  39. Kris Kirk on April 5, 2021 at 1:18 am

    DYo d



  40. Paramesh Reddy on April 5, 2021 at 1:20 am

    Gears 5



  41. Loki Loki on April 5, 2021 at 1:26 am

    The last os 2 AND Spiderman AND uncharted 4



  42. Athamas on April 5, 2021 at 1:27 am

    No Uncharted 4? 😂 Seems you really have problem with this game. Have it just 9.
    Disliked



  43. Lukas Jackson on April 5, 2021 at 1:28 am

    You seriously didint put battlefield 1 on there?



  44. UBI fan25 on April 5, 2021 at 1:30 am

    This is probably the greatest generation it’ll be hard for 9th to top this



  45. World Boy on April 5, 2021 at 1:31 am

    Csgo, dota , hl-alyx ?



  46. James Klyne (PUPIL) on April 5, 2021 at 1:31 am

    Ghost of Tsushima is the best game since last year.



  47. Jack Parry on April 5, 2021 at 1:33 am

    Although people absolutely hate it, Fortnite is amazingly fun and should’ve been on this list



  48. Andy Hendershot on April 5, 2021 at 1:34 am

    No Neir are you drunk



  49. Matt Ellwood on April 5, 2021 at 1:35 am

    Horizon Zero Dawn does not deserve to be here.



  50. The Engineer on April 5, 2021 at 1:37 am

    besides alot of indie gems & red dead 2 this was a big dissappointment for me. When u compare this generation to 360 & ps3 its embarassing. Metal gear solid 5 & death stranding are awful.
