TOP 100 – BEST PS4 GAMES:
100 – ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Assassins-Creed-Odyssey.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, released in October 2018 by Ubisoft, is one of the most ambitious and grandiose games in the renowned Assassin’s Creed franchise. The game transports players to Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War, providing a rich and vibrant open-world experience. The plot revolves around the brothers Alexios and Kassandra, descendants of Leonidas, the legendary Spartan king. The player can choose between controlling Alexios or Kassandra, each with their own nuances and charisma, embarking on an epic journey to discover the truth about their origins and their family’s destiny.
From the moment the game begins, players are immersed in a meticulously recreated setting, with stunning landscapes ranging from the hills of Mount Parnassus to the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. Iconic cities like Athens and Sparta are portrayed with stunning authenticity, allowing players to walk the same streets where prominent historical figures once walked. The narrative is engaging and emotionally resonant, with the protagonists’ search for answers marked by twists and turns, encounters with historical and mythological figures, and profound moral dilemmas.
One of Odyssey’s most significant innovations is the system of choices and consequences. The player’s decisions, from dialogue to combat actions, significantly impact the unfolding of the story, offering multiple paths and endings. This mechanic not only adds depth to the narrative, but also encourages players to explore different outcomes across multiple playthroughs.
Combat in the game is fluid and visceral, combining the intense action of the series with new RPG mechanics. Players can customize their skills and equipment, adapting their fighting style to each situation, whether confronting enemies head-on or opting for more stealthy approaches. The battles are rewarding, especially the clashes against mercenaries and the epic naval combats, which capture the essence of sea warfare at the time.
In addition to the main campaign, “Assassin’s Creed Odyssey” offers a wide range of side activities that enrich the gameplay experience. Well-crafted side quests, treasure hunts, exploration of ancient ruins, and confrontations with mythological creatures keep players constantly engaged. Every corner of the map hides secrets and stories that contribute to the immersion and depth of the world.
The historical fidelity of Odyssey is very impressive. Ubisoft has dedicated itself to creating an authentic and educational environment, with the Discovery Tour mode allowing players to explore Ancient Greece without combat, offering an in-depth look at the life, culture and history of the time. This mode is a testament to Ubisoft’s commitment to celebrating history and educating players while entertaining.
Visually, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is exquisite, as this game is so beautiful. The landscapes are truly stunning, with graphics that capture the beauty and majesty of Ancient Greece. The attention to detail is impressive, from the architecture of the buildings to the nuances of clothing and armor. Dynamic lighting and changing weather conditions contribute to the feeling of a living, breathing world.
The soundtrack, composed by The Flight, complements the game’s atmosphere with compositions that evoke the spirit of Ancient Greece, amplifying the emotions and grandeur of the scenes, whether in moments of quiet introspection or epic battles.
99 – MORTAL SHELL
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/mortal-shell.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Here you need to be prepared to dive into the depths of one of the most intriguing souls-likes of recent times! Mortal Shell, released in 2020 by Cold Symmetry, is that game that sneaks up on you and knocks you out with its dark atmosphere and unique mechanics.
Imagine a world so desolate and corrupted that it makes Lordran look like an amusement park. It is into this post-apocalyptic scenario that Mortal Shell throws us, without ceremony and with a sadistic smile on its face. The premise? You are a disembodied entity, an ethereal being who needs to possess the corpses of fallen warriors (the so-called “shells”) to survive. You can already feel the atmosphere, right?
The game’s visuals are jaw-dropping, guys. Each scene looks like a macabre painting in motion. Poisonous swamps, ancient ruins, claustrophobic catacombs – everything exudes an aura of decay and mystery that pulls you into the screen. The art direction is impeccable, mixing gothic elements with a touch of dark fantasy that would make HR Giger himself proud.
But let’s get to the point: the gameplay. Mortal Shell takes the souls-like formula and gives it a naughty makeover. The “shells” mechanic is the flagship here. Each shell is a fallen warrior with its own abilities and fighting style. There’s the tough tank, the agile assassin, the balanced guy – you choose what suits your style best. And the best? You can switch shells mid-battle! It’s like hardcore cosplay in real time.
Speaking of battle, get ready to break a sweat. Combat in Mortal Shell is a deadly dance where timing is everything. Forget about button mashing – here it is based on strategy and sharp reflexes. The icing on the cake? The mechanics of “hardening”. With the press of a button, you literally turn into a statue for a few seconds, blocking attacks. Using this at the right time could be the difference between glorious victory and another “YOU DIED” screen.
Progression in the game is a delight for those who enjoy discovering things the hard way. There’s no kissing tutorial here, my friend. You learn by using, making mistakes and dying – a lot. Each item has a familiarity level that increases with use. The more you use it, the more you discover about it. It’s a system that encourages you to try everything, even if sometimes the result is… explosive.
Mortal Shell’s narrative is one of those that makes you scratch your head and come back for more clues. It’s all very nebulous and enigmatic, told through fragments of dialogue, item descriptions and the setting itself. Who are these shells you have? What world is this? What the hell is happening? Putting this puzzle together is part of the fun, and I assure you that the theories from people on the forums are almost as fun as the game itself.
Bosses, my friends, are nightmarish works of art. Each is a grotesque, imposing creature that looks like it came straight from your worst fever dreams. And it’s not just the looks – these guys’ attack patterns will make you dance like never before. Defeating one of them gives that feeling of achievement that only a good souls-like provides.
The game’s sound deserves a paragraph of its own. The soundtrack, composed by Atrium Carceri, is chilling. Literally. Ethereal melodies mix with dark beats creating an atmosphere that completely envelops you. And the sound design? My friend, every sword strike, every monster scream, every step through the mud – it all contributes to leaving you on the edge of your seat.
Mortal Shell isn’t a game for everyone, and that’s what makes it special. It’s challenging, sometimes frustrating, but always rewarding. Every death is a lesson, every victory is a hard-earned triumph. It’s the kind of game that makes you feel like you’ve really achieved something when you finally defeat that boss that killed you 50 times.
The DLC “The Virtuous Cycle” adds even more spice to this already spicy mix. It introduces roguelike elements to the game, making each run unique and even more challenging. It’s as if the base game was that pepper that already leaves your mouth on fire, and the DLC comes and throws a few more drops of habanero sauce just to watch you dance.
Ultimately, Mortal Shell is more than a game – it’s an experience. It’s one of those titles that keeps playing in your head long after you turn off the console. It makes you question concepts of identity, mortality and what it means to be human in a world that has lost its humanity. Heavy, right? But it’s this kind of depth that elevates Mortal Shell above being just another Dark Souls clone.
So, if you’re looking for a challenge that will test not only your reflexes, but also your sanity, give Mortal Shell a try. Prepare to die, learn and be reborn countless times. And who knows, in the process, you might discover something about yourself. Or at least learn to swear in new and creative ways when that boss kills you for the 100th time.
Mortal Shell is a treat for souls-like fans, a macabre work of art and quite a challenge for any self-respecting gamer. It is not for the faint of heart, but for those who venture into its depths, the rewards are immense. So what do you tell me? Are you ready to inhabit the shell and face your demons? Darkness awaits you, brave warrior. Good luck, you’re going to need it!
98 – KINGDOM HEARTS III
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Kingdom-Hearts-III.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Kingdom Hearts III was one of the most anticipated games of the last decade, bringing with it the epic conclusion to a saga that began in 2002. Developed and published by Square Enix, the game was released in January 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, finally meeting to the pleas of a legion of fans who have patiently waited for this sequel.
The story of Kingdom Hearts III picks up the journey of Sora, a young Keyblade Master, and his longtime friends, Donald Duck and Goofy, as they battle the dark force and seek to restore light to the diverse worlds of Disney and Pixar. The plot focuses on Sora’s quest to reunite the seven guardians of light and find the “Key to Return Hearts” to stop the villain Xehanort and his Organization XIII from provoking a second Keyblade War.
The plot, true to the style of the series, is a mix of fantasy, adventure and friendship, with captivating characters and exciting twists. Each world visited by Sora and his friends is meticulously detailed and recreated with incredible fidelity to the original films. From the sunny plains of “Toy Story” to the icy kingdom of “Frozen,” each setting is a visual feast that provides an immersive and nostalgic experience.
Kingdom Hearts III is famous for its fluid and dynamic combat system, which combines fast, frenetic action with strategic RPG elements. The game introduces new mechanics such as “Attractions”, special attacks based on Disney theme park attractions, and the ability to switch between different Keyblades during battle, each with their own unique transformations and abilities. These additions not only make combat more varied and exciting, but also provide spectacular moments of pure action.
The game doesn’t skimp on content either. In addition to the main campaign, which offers a rich and exciting experience, there are a multitude of mini-games, collectibles and additional challenges that keep players engaged for hours on end. From collecting ingredients to cook with Ratatouille to intense battles against secret bosses, there’s always something new and exciting to discover.
Visually, Kingdom Hearts III is beautiful. The graphics are stunning, capturing the magical essence of the Disney and Pixar worlds with stunning detail and a vibrant color palette. Attention to detail is evident in every setting, character and special effect, making every moment of the game a visual delight.
The soundtrack, composed by Yoko Shimomura, is another gem of the game. Combining exciting new compositions with classic themes from the series and iconic music from Disney films, Kingdom Hearts III’s soundtrack elevates the emotional experience of the game, providing moments of pure nostalgia and joy.
However, what really sets Kingdom Hearts III apart is its ability to connect emotionally with players. The series has always been known for its deep themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness, and this final chapter is no different. The narrative is full of touching moments and surprising revelations that leave a lasting impression.
For series veterans, Kingdom Hearts III is the culmination of years of waiting and speculation, delivering a satisfying and exciting conclusion to Sora’s saga. For newcomers, it’s a magical gateway to a rich, captivating universe full of unforgettable adventures and beloved characters.
97 – THE QUARRY
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Quarry.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Released in 2022 by Supermassive Games (yes, the same guys who brought us Until Dawn), The Quarry is like we took all those teen horror movies we love, threw them in a blender and turned them into a jaw-dropping interactive game . It’s like a horror movie where YOU are the director, you know?
The story takes place at Hackett’s Quarry, a summer camp that has seen better days. Our protagonists are a group of teenage counselors who brilliantly decide to stay for one last night of partying after all the campers have left. What could go wrong, right? Spoiler: EVERYTHING.
The cast is enough to make any film fan drool. We have names like David Arquette (from Scream), Ariel Winter (Modern Family), Justice Smith (Detective Pikachu), and horror legend Lin Shaye. It’s like Hollywood invaded your PS4, man!
Now, let’s talk about gameplay. The Quarry is essentially an interactive movie where your choices really matter. Every decision you make, from the seemingly insignificant to the obvious life-and-death issues, can drastically change the course of the story. It’s like an episode of Black Mirror, except you’re in control.
The game is divided into chapters, each focusing on different characters. You’ll switch between them, making decisions that could save your life or… well, you know. The tension is palpable, guys. There are moments when you will be gripping the controller as if your very life depended on it.
QTEs (Quick Time Events) are back and with a bang. Prepare your reflexes, because a second of distraction can cost a character their life. But don’t worry if you’re not a fan of QTEs. The game has an option to make them automatic, transforming the experience into something closer to an interactive movie.
Visually, The Quarry is a spectacle. The graphics are so realistic that sometimes you forget you’re playing a game. The characters’ facial expressions are incredibly detailed, capturing every nuance of fear, surprise, and, well, pure terror. The lighting and atmospheric effects create a chilling atmosphere, making you jump out of your seat with every shadow and strange noise.
The sound deserves a paragraph of its own. The soundtrack is hair-raising, alternating between moments of tense silence and sound explosions that will make you scream along with the characters. And speaking of characters, the voice acting is top notch. You can hear the fear in their voices, man!
One of the coolest things about The Quarry is its replayability. With multiple endings and different paths based on your choices, you’ll want to play again and again to see all the possibilities. There are people out there with spreadsheets trying to map out all the possible routes!
The local multiplayer mode is a genius addition. Gather the gang, distribute the characters and watch the chaos ensue as everyone shouts at each other about what decision to make. It’s a guarantee of a fun (and scary) night with friends.
For the brave ones, there is the “Gorefest” mode that increases violence and blood to epic levels. It’s not for the faint of stomach, but if you like that old school gore of 80s horror films, you’ll be hooked!
The Quarry also innovates with “Movie Mode”. Tired of playing? Just want to watch? No problem! You can configure the characters’ personalities and let the game play like a movie. It’s perfect for those who want to try different results without having to play multiple times.
Ultimately, The Quarry is more than a game; it’s an experience. It’s the kind of title that makes you question your own moral decisions. Would you sacrifice a friend to save yourself? Would you risk everything for love? It’s these difficult choices that make the game shine.
Of course, not everything is rosy. Some may find the pace a little slow at times, and if you don’t enjoy games with a lot of dialogue and exploration, you may get bored in some parts. But hey, it’s part of building tension, guys!
The Quarry is a love letter to horror films from the 80s and 90s, an interactive tribute to all those slashers we love to hate. It’s the kind of game you’ll want to play with the lights off, the sound on and, preferably, with some friends around to share the scares (and nervous laughter).
So if you’re looking for a horror experience that will have you glued to the screen, making desperate choices and possibly screaming at the controller, The Quarry is your game. Get ready for a night of terror, difficult decisions and unpredictable consequences. Who will survive? Well, that’s up to you. Good luck, and don’t forget: in terror, never, ever say “I’ll be right back”!
96 – TREK TO YOMI
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Trek-to-Yomi.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Trek to Yomi, developed by Flying Wild Hog and published by Devolver Digital, is one of those games that captures you in the first few seconds. The black and white look is breathtaking, guys! Each painting looks like a meticulously crafted work of art. It’s like you’re controlling a 1950s samurai movie, only interactive. The attention to detail is insane, from the leaves falling from the trees to the dancing shadows of the flames – it all contributes to a unique and immersive atmosphere.
The story follows Hiroki, a young samurai who has sworn to protect his village and the people he loves. Of course, like all good samurai dramas, things go wrong quickly. Without giving spoilers, let’s say that Hiroki embarks on a journey of revenge and redemption that takes him to the farthest reaches of the Japanese underworld. It’s tense, it’s dramatic, and it has more twists and turns than a bowl of ramen!
Trek to Yomi’s gameplay is an interesting mix of old school side-by-side combat with 3D exploration elements. Battles are the heart of the game, with a combat system that is easy to learn but difficult to master. You’ll unlock new moves and combos throughout the game, and believe me, you’ll need them! The enemies get tougher and tougher, and the bosses? My friend, get ready to sweat your katana!
One thing I found great is how the game alternates between intense combat sections and calmer moments of exploration. In these moments, you can explore the beautifully detailed scenarios, discover secrets and even make some choices that affect the course of the story. It’s a rhythm that works well, giving you that breather between the bloody battles.
Speaking of blood, Trek to Yomi doesn’t skimp on the red (even in black and white, you know what I mean). The fights are brutal and satisfying, with finishes that would make even the Ghost of Tsushima jealous. Each blow has weight, each death is impactful. No wonder the game is rated for adults!
The sound in Trek to Yomi deserves a paragraph of its own. The soundtrack, composed by Cody Matthew Johnson and Yoko Honda, is simply epic. It mixes traditional Japanese instruments with a more modern feel that matches perfectly with the action on screen. And the sound effects? My dear, the clanking of swords and battle cries will make you feel like you’re in the middle of combat!
One of the coolest aspects of the game is how it incorporates elements of Japanese mythology. As the story progresses, Hiroki finds himself facing not only bandits and rival samurai, but also supernatural creatures straight out of Japanese folklore. It’s a crazy journey that mixes reality and myth in a very cool way.
Trek to Yomi is not a long game – you can finish it in about 6-8 hours – but it is an intense and memorable experience. And it has replay value! With multiple endings based on your choices throughout the game, you’ll want to play again to see all the possible outcomes.
Of course, not everything is rosy. Some players may find the combat a little repetitive after a while, and if you’re not really into 2D games, you might not find it as engaging. Furthermore, the difficulty can be somewhat inconsistent at times.
But overall, Trek to Yomi is a unique experience that every fan of action games, Japanese culture or classic cinema should try. It’s one of those games that stays in your head long after you finish, making you reflect on honor, duty and the choices we make in life.
So if you’re in the mood for a stylish, brutal, and thrilling samurai adventure, Trek to Yomi is your game. Sharpen your katana, settle your score with the gods and prepare for a journey through Japanese hell. Remember: death is just the beginning. Banzai, and good game!
95 – LIMBO
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/Limbo.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Limbo is a milestone in the history of indie games, released 10 years ago and quickly became one of the most influential and acclaimed titles of the decade. This game was fundamental in popularizing the indie genre and paving the way for discussions about the relationship between video games and art. Initially available on Xbox Live Arcade and later on various platforms, Limbo won over critics and players alike, constantly appearing on lists of the best games of all time.
The magic of Limbo lies in its minimalism and unique atmosphere. The game is a 2D side-scroller focused on solving puzzles, where you control an unnamed boy who wakes up in a dark environment full of dangers. His mission is simple: find his sister. This simplicity is reflected in the controls, with just two buttons besides the directional pad, one for jumping and the other for interacting with objects.
The game’s physics are impressive and fundamental to the elaboration of the puzzles. These are challenging, intelligent and often require good timing and precision in controls. You’ll encounter bear traps, magnets, blades, and seemingly insurmountable obstacles that require conscious use of the objects around you to progress. The game adopts a trial and error approach, or rather, “trial and death”, where you will die many times until you discover the correct solution to the challenges.
Despite its short duration – about three hours – Limbo requires patience, especially for those who prefer constant action. The pace can seem slow and the puzzles repetitive, especially in the second half of the game. However, the short chapter structure and auto-save after each challenge solved minimize frustration and help keep the player engaged.
Limbo’s art is its greatest highlight. With a monochromatic look that recalls Noir films from the 40s and German expressionism from the 20s, the game creates a heavy and somewhat bizarre atmosphere. The grainy aesthetic contributes to the feeling of being in a childhood nightmare, escaping from traps and creatures in settings reminiscent of swamps and large industrial centers. The graphic violence, with realistic dismemberment animations and sounds of bones breaking, flirts with the horror genre, intensifying the immersion.
The soundtrack is subtle and effective, complementing the game’s atmosphere with specific sound effects that create a depressive and dark tone. The ambient sounds are precise, highlighting the emptiness and isolation of the world of Limbo, creating a disturbing contrast with the prevailing silence.
Limbo’s plot is deliberately subjective and poorly explained, leaving the player to interpret the events and meaning of the game’s ending. Without dialogue, explanations or texts, the narrative unfolds silently, allowing each player to draw their own conclusions about the boy’s journey.
Limbo is a unique experience that, despite its imperfections, is a must for anyone who sees video games as an art form. It’s a shining example of how deep and impactful a game can be without the need for complex graphics or elaborate narratives. It’s essential for indie game fans and those who want to explore the artistic potential of video games.
If you ever find yourself in a debate about the relationship between art and video games, be sure to mention Limbo as a shining example. It not only solidified indie games’ place in the industry, but also demonstrated that video games can be as deep and emotionally resonant as any other art form. Limbo is an unforgettable journey through a dark and mysterious world, where every step is a challenge and every discovery is a revelation.
94 – SONIC SUPERSTARS
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Sonic-Superstars.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Launched in October 2023, this game is like that perfect mix of nostalgia and innovation that makes us vibrate!
Sonic Superstars is a triumphant return to the series’ 2D roots, but don’t think it’s just more of the same, no! Sega did a great job of bringing the classic look into the 21st century. The graphics are a real blast, with vibrant and detailed scenes that make us want to stop and admire (but that’s not possible, right? Sonic is in a hurry!). It’s that delicious 2.5D that mixes 3D elements with classic side-by-side gameplay.
The story? Well, it’s Sonic, folks! Dr. Robotnik (or Eggman, for younger people) is up to no good again, this time in the mysterious Northstar Islands. And of course, only Sonic and the gang can stop his crazy plans. Speaking of gangs, in addition to Sonic, you can play with Tails, Knuckles and even Amy Rose! Each character has their unique abilities, which gives each stage a special flavor.
The gameplay is that hedgehog cocaine that we know and love. Insane speed, breathtaking loops, challenging platforms… it’s all there! But developers didn’t just stop at “more of the same”. The new Chaos Emeralds give Sonic and company special powers, such as multiplying, climbing walls or even diving! It’s an addition that makes the game more strategic and varied.
The stages are a show in themselves. It has it all: from reimagined classic settings to completely new environments. You’ll run through lush forests, chaotic industrial zones, and even water levels (yes, I know, everyone “loves” water levels, right?). Each zone has its own challenges and secrets, and believe me, there is A LOT to explore.
One of the highlights of Sonic Superstars is the multiplayer. You can invite up to three friends to play in local cooperative mode. Imagine the mess! It’s guaranteed fun, whether competing to see who arrives first or cooperating to defeat the bosses.
Speaking of bosses, get ready! The boss fights are epic and challenging. Each has its own patterns and tricks, and will require strategy and sharp reflexes to defeat. And Robotnik? Well, let’s just say he had some pretty crazy surprises in store for us.
The sound of the game is pure delight for the ears. The soundtrack mixes remixes of classic themes with new songs that are already classics. It’s one of those things that you keep humming even after turning off the console. And the sound effects? My friend, it’s pure nostalgia in HD!
One thing I found interesting is how the game balances the new with the classic. It has Easter eggs and references to make any old school fan smile, but it also brings new features that keep things fresh and exciting for newcomers.
Of course, not everything is rosy in Sonic’s garden. Some may think the game is too short, especially if you’re one of those crazy speedrunners. And, like every Sonic game, there are some frustrations here and there with high-speed controls.
But overall, Sonic Superstars is a love letter to fans and an irresistible invitation to newcomers. It’s the kind of game that makes you smile like a fool, whether because of nostalgia or the pure fun of speeding through beautifully designed levels.
If you’re a fan of Sonic, you should already be playing it! If you’ve never played Sonic in your life (really?), this is the perfect time to start. Sonic Superstars proves that, even after so many years, there’s still a lot of momentum left to run. It’s fast, it’s fun, it’s challenging, it’s Sonic at his best!
So, guys, what are you waiting for? Grab that controller, spin dash and dive into this superstar adventure! It’s just not worth complaining if you have that theme song stuck in your head for days. That’s part of the magic! Good game, and don’t forget to collect those rings!

92 – DRAGON QUEST XI: ECHOES OF AN ELUSIVE AGE
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Dragon-Quest-XI-Echoes-of-an-Elusive-Age.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Originally released in 2017 in Japan and arriving in the West in 2018, this game is like grandma’s comfort food dish: familiar, comforting, but with some special touches that make all the difference!
The story begins with that delightful JRPG cliché: you are the chosen hero, known as the Luminary, destined to save the world of Erdrea from a dark threat. But calm down! Don’t think it’s just more of the same. DQXI’s narrative has more twists than roller coasters, with captivating characters and moments that will make you laugh, cry and leave your jaw dropping.
Visually, the game is a real feast for the eyes. Unreal Engine 4 works miracles here, delivering a vibrant and lively world. Every city, dungeon and battlefield is meticulously detailed. The artistic style of Akira Toriyama (yes, the Dragon Ball guy!) gives it that unique and nostalgic touch that makes us feel at home.
The combat system is that classic turn-based that we love, but with a few modern touches to keep things interesting. You can switch between free mode and automatic battle, and the “skills” system allows you to customize your characters in various ways. What about Pep Powers? My friend, these special abilities are eye-popping!
Exploration in DQXI is a delight. The world is vast and full of secrets. There are mini-games, sidequests, and a lot of things to do besides the main story. You’ll want to scour every nook and cranny for rare items and hilarious encounters.
Speaking of hilarious, the humor is a high point of the game. The dialogues are full of puns and references that will make you laugh. And the names of the monsters? Pure creativity! Get ready to face creatures with names that are as funny as they are dangerous.
The cast of characters is one that stays in your memory. Each member of your party has a unique personality and backstory that develops throughout the journey. You’ll find yourself rooting for them as if they were old friends.
The soundtrack, composed by the legendary Koichi Sugiyama, is chilling. Epic themes, melancholic melodies, and those battle songs that leave you excited to face even the most terrible of monsters. It’s one of those OSTs that you’ll want to listen to even outside of the game.
One thing I found brilliant is the forging system. You can craft and upgrade equipment, adding an extra layer of strategy and customization to the game. It’s addictive trying to make the perfect item!
The game is BIG, guys. We’re talking easily 100+ hours if you want to see everything. But don’t be scared! The rhythm is so well balanced that you won’t even feel the time passing. And just when you think it’s over, there’s more!
Of course, not everything is rosy in the kingdom of Erdrea. Some may find the beginning a little slow, and if you don’t like traditional JRPGs, it may be a bit strange. Additionally, the difficulty can be somewhat inconsistent at times.
But overall, Dragon Quest XI is a masterpiece of the JRPG genre. It’s the kind of game that reminds you why you fell in love with video games in the first place. It’s an epic, exciting and incredibly satisfying adventure.
If you’re a fan of RPGs, this is practically mandatory. If you’ve never played a Dragon Quest, this is the perfect gateway. DQXI takes everything that has made the series beloved for decades and elevates it to a new level.
So, hero, are you ready to answer the call of destiny? Grab your sword (or rather, your controller), gather your companions and dive into this incredible adventure. Erdrea needs you! Just don’t blame us if you lose nights of sleep trying to finish “just one more quest”. Good game, and may Luminário be with you!

The game’s longevity is increased by a series of side quests and challenges that encourage exploration and delving deeper into the game’s lore. Each mission offers new perspectives on the Control universe and rewards that help improve Jesse’s skills, making her more powerful and versatile.

The encounters with members of the Baker family are particularly memorable and terrifying.

There are also Side B and Side C chapters, more difficult versions of the original levels that test even the most skilled players.
Celeste’s central message is powerful and inspiring. Madeline’s journey is not just about reaching the top of the mountain, but about facing and accepting her own weaknesses and imperfections. The game addresses topics such as mental health, self-discovery and resilience in a sensitive and impactful way, resonating deeply with many players.
Celeste is an unmissable experience for any platformer fan. With its challenging gameplay, emotional narrative, and stunning audiovisual presentation, the game offers an unforgettable journey that is both a test of skill and a reflection on self-improvement.

Overwatch is a first-person shooter developed by Blizzard Entertainment that quickly became a global phenomenon; the game was released for PlayStation 4 in May 2016. Mixing elements of traditional shooters with the strategic depth of team games, this title offers a dynamic and exciting gaming experience, ideal for players of all ages.
The premise of Overwatch is set in the near future where world peace is maintained by a group of heroes known as Overwatch. After years of inactivity, these heroes are called back into action to face new global threats. The game does not have a traditional single-player campaign; instead, its rich narrative is told through cinematic videos, comics, and seasonal events, bringing the characters and world to life.
At the heart of the game is its diverse roster of heroes, each with unique abilities and distinct personalities. Players can choose between different hero classes: offensive, defensive, tank and support, each playing a crucial role in the team. Heroes like Tracer, with her speed and teleportation abilities, Reinhardt, with her giant shield and powerful melee attacks, and Mercy, able to heal and revive allies, exemplify the diversity of play styles that Overwatch offers.
Gameplay is centered around 6-on-6 matches, where players must work together to accomplish specific objectives, such as capturing control points, escorting cargo or defending territories. Teamwork is essential, and effective communication can be the key to victory. The dynamics of each match are shaped by the composition of the teams and the way in which players use the heroes’ abilities in synergy.
One of the game’s most notable features is its vibrant and stylized visual design. The graphics are colorful and cartoony, making each character and map easily recognizable. Maps are inspired by real-world locations such as the Temple of Anubis in Egypt, Lijiang Tower in China and King’s Row in England, each with a unique layout that offers different strategic challenges.
The soundtrack and sound effects are equally impressive, with music that captures the energy and intensity of battles, and sound effects that bring the heroes’ abilities and the surrounding environment to life. The voice acting is excellent, with each hero having a strong personality and memorable dialogues that further enrich the gaming experience.
In addition to standard matches, Overwatch also offers seasonal game modes and special events that introduce new rules, challenges, and rewards. Events like Summer Games, Halloween Horror, and Frozen Winter Wonderland add variety to the game and keep the community engaged with new content and exclusive cosmetics.
The competitive aspects of the game are robust, with a ranking system that allows players to test their skills against opponents of similar levels. Competitive seasons provide a high-intensity environment where strategy and skill are put to the test. The Overwatch esports community is vibrant, with official tournaments and leagues, like the Overwatch League, that highlight the best teams and players in the world.
Overwatch also stands out for its inclusive and representative approach. The diversity of heroes, in terms of origin, gender and abilities, is a reflection of Blizzard’s commitment to inclusion. This diversity not only enriches the narrative, but also allows players from different backgrounds to identify with the heroes they choose.

79 – ULTIMATE MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Ultimate-Marvel-vs-Capcom-3.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Get your joysticks ready and buckle up, because we’re going to dive head first into the most epic and frantic chaos the PS4 has ever seen: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3! This insane crossover is like mixing your favorite comic book with your classic games and throwing everything into a punch blender!
Originally released in 2011 and coming to PS4 in 2016, UMVC3 is that turbocharged update that takes everything that was amazing about Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and steroids! We’re talking 50 playable characters, guys! Fifty! You can form a team with Spider-Man, Dante from Devil May Cry and Rocket Raccoon. Have you thought? It’s like fulfilling your childhood dream of making your action figures fight, only a thousand times more epic!
The game’s visuals are stunning! That moving comic style, with vibrant colors and special effects that make your eyes shine. Each character is faithfully recreated, from Captain America to Zero from Mega Man. And the scenarios? My friend, it’s a visual feast that mixes the Marvel and Capcom universes in a way you never imagined!
Now, let’s talk about gameplay. UMVC3 is fast. Like, REALLY fast. It’s the kind of game that makes Street Fighter look like a slow-motion chess match. You have to think fast, act even faster and pray that your sanity holds up. The combos are insane, the character changes in the middle of the fight are fluid, and when you activate a super, my friend… it blows up the screen!
The team fighting system is the heart of the game. You assemble a team of three fighters and can switch between them during battle. This opens up a world of strategic possibilities. Do you want to use Iron Man for ranged attacks, Wolverine for quick combos and Hulk for smashing? Go deep! The combinations are practically endless.
One of the coolest aspects is how the game balances characters from such different universes. Seeing Chris Redfield from Resident Evil exchanging punches with Thor is the kind of madness that only UMVC3 can provide. And each character maintains their unique essence and fighting style.
The story mode may not be the deepest, but who cares? The real MVP here is the multiplayer. Whether online or on the couch with friends, UMVC3 is a guarantee of screams, laughter and that healthy rivalry that only a good fighting game provides. And believe me, you’ll want to train a lot before facing the online players. This game’s community doesn’t mess around!
For newcomers, the game offers a “Simple” mode that makes it easier to execute spectacular combos. But make no mistake, truly mastering UMVC3 is an art that requires dedication. Each character has a recipe-book-like list of moves, and learning to use them effectively is quite a challenge.
The soundtrack? My friend, it’s chilling! Epic themes that mix rock, electronics and orchestra in a way that leaves you excited to go out distributing hadoukens and shields around. And the sound effects are so satisfying that you can almost feel the impact of each punch.
UMVC3 is also packed with unlockable content. Alternative clothes, concept art, extra game modes… there’s a lot to do besides just dealing out blows. It’s that kind of game that you always come back to, whether to unlock more things or just for another quick fight.
Of course, the game isn’t perfect. The balancing can be questionable at times (hi, Vergil!), and if you’re not into fast-paced fighting games, you might feel a little lost at first. But hey, part of the fun is just mastering this chaos!
Ultimately, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is more than a fighting game; It’s a celebration. A crazy party where your favorite characters from two incredible universes meet to exchange banter in the most spectacular way possible. It’s fast, it’s crazy, it’s addictive, and even years after its release, it’s still one of the best fighters you can put on your PS4.
So, what are you waiting for? Choose your team, memorize those insane combos and get ready to scream “I wanna take you for a ride!” along with the character selection music. UMVC3 is there to prove that sometimes, more is more, and that it never hurts to see Spider-Man giving Albert Wesker a shake. Let’s play!

77 – DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Dragon-Ball-Z-Kakarot.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Released in 2020, DBZ: Kakarot is that game that every fan of the series has dreamed of since they were kids. Just imagine: you don’t just fight the epic battles of DBZ, you LIVE Goku’s story! It’s like taking all the classic anime arcs and turning them into an action RPG that will make you scream “Over 8000!” so excited!
The game covers the entire Z saga, from the arrival of Raditz to the defeat of Majin Buu. And it’s not just rushing and fighting! Between the epic fights, you explore an open world full of references and Easter eggs that will make any fan drool. Do you want to fish with your tail like Goku did? It’s there! Want to collect the dragon balls? Let’s go! Do you want to eat like a Saiyan and become strong as hell? It’s for now!
Visually, the game is a feast for the eyes. The characters look like they came straight from the anime, with expressions and movements that perfectly capture the essence of Dragon Ball. The fight scenes are jaw-dropping, with ki blasts, transformations and special attacks that will make you feel like you’re controlling an episode of the anime!
The combat system is that delicious mix of accessibility and depth. You can send Kamehameha everywhere and have fun, but there’s also room for strategy and more elaborate combos. And the transformations? My friend, the first time you become a Super Saiyan in the game is chilling!
But Kakarot isn’t just about beatings. The RPG aspect of the game is surprisingly deep. You increase your stats, learn new skills, and even set up a “Community Tree” that gives you bonuses based on your relationships with other characters. It’s great to see Goku evolving not only in brute strength, but also in his connections!
One of the coolest things is how the game expands the DBZ universe. There are a lot of sidequests and parallel stories that delve into secondary characters and fill in gaps in the anime. Want to know what Yamcha was doing while Goku was fighting Frieza? Now you can find out!
The soundtrack? Man, it’s chilling! Remixed classic themes mix with new compositions that will put you in the mood to save the Earth (for the thousandth time). And the original voices (both in Japanese and in dubs) are present, bringing that nostalgia in HD!
The story mode is the flagship, of course, but there’s a lot more to do. Minigames, combat challenges, open world exploration… it’s content to make even a Saiyan get tired! And with the DLCs released later, the fun only increases, even bringing Dragon Ball Super arcs to the game!
Of course, it’s not all shiny dragon balls. The game can get a little repetitive at times, especially if you’re not a huge fan of the series. And some parts of the open world can feel a little empty. But hey, what does an empty desert matter when you can fly through it like a Super Saiyan, right?
In the end, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a love letter to fans and a full plate for newcomers wanting to understand why everyone screams so much in this Dragon Ball thing. It’s the chance to experience the adventures of Goku and company in a totally new and immersive way.
So, what are you waiting for? Put on your workout clothes, adjust your forehead band and get ready to scream “This isn’t even my final form!” while exploring the incredible world of Dragon Ball. Kakarot is here to prove that, even after so many years, Goku’s journey still has the power to move us and make us believe that we can overcome any challenge.
Let’s play and increase our fighting power, guys! It’s just not worth asking Shenron to bring the save back if you forget to save, huh? Good game, and may ki be with you!
76 – UNCHARTED: THE LOST LEGACY
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Uncharted-The-Lost-Legacy.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
This game is a bomb that exploded on the PS4 in 2017 and left everyone’s jaw dropped. It’s like a spin-off of the Uncharted franchise, but don’t think it’s just more of the same, no. This time, we embark on an adventure with two incredible women: Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross. These two are pure adrenaline!
The plot unfolds in India, man. Just imagine: ancient ruins, dense forests, imposing mountains and a frantic search for Ganesha’s Tusk, a legendary artifact that everyone wants to get their hands on. Chloe and Nadine need to team up to uncover the mysteries behind this treasure, but it won’t be easy. There’s a sinister villain in their path, Asav, a guy who’s willing to do anything to get the artifact first.
What’s craziest is how Naughty Dog, the people behind the game, managed to create an absurd chemistry between the protagonists. Chloe is that smart and charismatic adventurer that we already knew from other Uncharted games, but now she’s in the spotlight. Nadine, on the other hand, is a tough ex-mercenary who doesn’t take shit. Together, they form an explosive duo that will make you laugh, cheer and keep your heart in your hands the entire time!
And bro, the graphics? Oh my God! Naughty Dog did great, as always. Each scene is breathtaking. The ancient ruins are so detailed that you want to reach out and touch them. The forests are so dense and alive that you can almost smell the vegetation. And the lighting effects? Man, there are some sunset scenes that look like moving paintings. It’s astounding!
But it doesn’t stop there! The gameplay is that perfect mix of exploration, puzzles and action that we love in the Uncharted series. You’ll climb huge cliffs, hang from vines, swim in raging rivers and, of course, shoot everywhere. The puzzles are just the right amount of challenging, making you use your brain without getting frustrated.
One thing I found really cool was how they expanded the gameplay. There are more open areas where you can explore freely, choosing the order of the missions. This gives a feeling of cool freedom, without losing that breakneck pace that is Uncharted’s trademark.
The action scenes are jaw-dropping! There are car chases that look like scenes from a Hollywood movie, intense shootouts where you need to think quickly to avoid becoming a sieve, and some parkour sequences that will leave your heart in your mouth. What about hand-to-hand confrontations? Man, they’re so well choreographed that it’s a pleasure to watch.
Another thing that deserves to be highlighted is the soundtrack. The music perfectly accompanies every moment of the game, whether in the calmer exploration scenes or in moments of pure adrenaline. It has some Indian-influenced melodies that throw you into the game’s atmosphere.
And you know whats is most cool? The Lost Legacy proves that you don’t need Nathan Drake to make a badass Uncharted. Chloe and Nadine hold the momentum well and show that they have plenty of charisma to drive the story. The evolution of their relationship throughout the game is a show in itself.
The game is not gigantic like others in the series, but that ends up being a positive point. The story is more focused, without that sausage stuffing feeling. Each chapter pushes you to the next, making you want to find out what’s going to happen right away.
Ultimately, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great love letter to fans of the series and a perfect entry point for those who have never played Uncharted. It’s action, it’s adventure, it’s mystery, all mixed in a package that will make you spend the night playing.
So, if you enjoy a good story, charismatic characters, jaw-dropping visuals and gameplay that keeps you glued to the screen, The Lost Legacy is a must. It’s one of those games that reminds you why you love video games. Let’s embark on this journey?
75 – NEED FOR SPEED HEAT
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Need-for-Speed-Heat.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
This game is pure adrenaline in your veins, it came out in 2019 and set the PS4 asphalt on fire. It’s that kind of game that makes you stick to the controller and only let go when the sun is rising, okay?
Just imagine: you’re in Palm City, a city inspired by Miami, full of neon, beaches and tracks that look like they were made for drifting. During the day, you participate in legal street races, earning some honest money. But when night falls, my partner, things get wild! Illegal racing takes over the city, and that’s when things get crazy.
The coolest thing is this day and night system. During the day, you are at ease, customizing your car, participating in official events, accumulating respect and money. But the night? It’s war there! You’re not only racing against other drivers, but running away from the police who are eager to catch you. And it’s not those joking police officers, these guys are tough and they’re not afraid to crash their car to get you off the road.
Car customization is a separate chapter, my friend. There are a lot of options! You can transform your car into a drift monster, a drag racing machine or a balanced car for all situations. And it’s not just performance, the visual part is also fully customizable. Want to put some neons underneath? Go deep! Prefer a more classic look? It works too! The limit is your imagination (and your virtual pocket, of course).
The Palm City map is huge and super varied. It ranges from the cramped streets of the city center to winding mountain roads. Each region has its own vibe and its own challenges. You will have to learn to dominate all terrains if you want to be the king of the streets.
The game’s story is pretty cool too. You’re a rookie racer trying to make a name for yourself in the Palm City street racing scene. But it’s not easy, there are corrupt people mixed in with the cops who want to put an end to the scene. Then you have to prove your worth on the tracks while trying to unmask this dirty scheme.
What I found most interesting is how the game lets you create your own narrative. Do you want to focus on being the king of drift? Go for it! Would you rather be the drag race guy? It works too! The game gives you the freedom to choose your style and specialize in it.
The soundtrack is another high point. There’s a bit of everything: hip-hop, electronic, rock… everything handpicked to put you in the right mood to accelerate hard. There are some songs that suit night racing so much that you’ll feel like you’re in an action movie.
The graphics are a show in themselves. The city is beautiful during the day, but at night… my God! The neon lights reflecting on the wet asphalt, the rain effects, the way the headlights cut through the darkness… it’s breathtaking. There are moments when you almost forget you’re playing because it seems so real.
The progression system is pretty cool too. The more you run, the more respect you earn, and this allows you to participate in more difficult and profitable events. But be careful: if you indulge too much at night, the police will be on your case and things can get very tense.
Speaking of police, the chases are epic! It starts with a police car behind you, but if you keep running away, things escalate. Soon you have helicopters, roadblocks and elite units trying to take you down. It’s just an adrenaline rush!
The multiplayer is also very fun. You can form crews with your friends and dominate the streets together. There are special events, weekly challenges and a bunch of post-launch content that keeps the game fresh.
One thing I really liked is how the game balances arcade with simulation. It’s not so realistic that it’s frustrating for those who don’t know much about cars, but it’s also not so arcadey that you feel like you’re playing a kart game, you know? It’s the perfect balance that makes you feel powerful without losing the feeling that you’re really driving.
Ultimately, Need for Speed Heat is the game that brings back the essence of the series. It’s fast, it’s stylish, it’s exciting. It’s the kind of game that makes you sit down to play “just one more race” and before you know it, it’s dawn and you’re still glued to the controller.
So, if you enjoy cars, speed, customization and a good dose of adrenaline, Need for Speed Heat is a must. It’s one of those games that makes you understand why the Need for Speed franchise has been so loved for so many years. Let’s burn some tires?

Endurance mode is an ultimate test of skill and endurance, where players compete in a marathon of back-to-back races. There is also Playground mode, which features weekly challenges with unique rules and online leaderboards, encouraging competition between players around the world.
One of the most surprising highlights of Horizon Chase Turbo is its incredible soundtrack, composed by Barry Leitch, the legendary composer responsible for classics like Top Gear and Lotus Turbo Challenge. The music is electrifying and nostalgic, perfectly complementing the frenetic racing action and keeping players immersed in the game’s fast pace.
The game also supports split-screen local multiplayer, allowing up to four players to compete side by side. This feature is a fantastic addition to gaming sessions with friends and family, bringing back the fun of classic arcade racing games where everyone gathers in front of the TV to compete.
Horizon Chase Turbo not only celebrates the golden age of racing games, but also stands out as a modern and polished gaming experience.

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Tom-Clancys-Ghost-Recon-Wildlands.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands is a thrilling, immersive adventure that takes PlayStation 4 players on an epic quest in the heart of Bolivia. Developed by Ubisoft Paris, this open-world third-person shooter immerses you in a tactical military experience where strategy, cooperation and precision are key to success.
The story begins with the fictional Bolivia taken over by the Santa Blanca drug cartel, transforming the country into a narco state. As a member of the Ghosts, an elite US special forces unit, your mission is to take down the cartel and restore order. You take on the role of Nomad, the squad leader, and are accompanied by three other operatives: Holt, Midas and Weaver. Together, you must infiltrate the cartel’s operations, eliminate its leaders, and dismantle its network of power.
The world of Wildlands is vast and diverse, offering a stunning recreation of Bolivian landscapes. From dense forests and snow-capped mountains to arid deserts and vibrant cities, each region on the map is unique and packed with detail. The smooth transition between these environments creates a sense of true exploration and freedom. The day and night cycle, along with dynamic weather conditions, adds an extra layer of realism and challenge to your mission, influencing both visibility and combat strategy.
Wildlands’ gameplay is incredibly versatile, allowing you to choose how to approach each mission. You can opt for a stealthy approach, eliminating enemies silently and avoiding detection, or you can go all in, using heavy weapons and armored vehicles to cause maximum destruction. The choice is yours, and the freedom to adapt your strategy to your play style makes each operation unique and exciting.
One of the game’s most striking features is its focus on cooperation. Wildlands can be played solo, with artificial intelligence controlling your teammates, or in online co-op, where up to four players can team up to complete missions. Online co-op is where the game really shines, allowing you and your friends to create elaborate tactics, coordinate simultaneous attacks, and share the thrill of each victory. Communication and teamwork are essential, turning each mission into a tactical and socially engaging experience.
The arsenal of weapons and equipment available in Wildlands is vast and highly customizable. From sniper rifles and submachine guns to explosives and recon drones, you can equip your character with the perfect tools for every mission. Customization also extends to vehicles, which range from motorcycles and jeeps to helicopters and boats, providing different ways of moving and fighting.
The main and side missions are rich and varied, each contributing to the weakening of the Santa Blanca cartel. You will rescue hostages, destroy drug labs, intercept communications and face cartel leaders in epic battles. Furthermore, the narrative is deep and well developed, with convincing characters and realistic dialogue that keep the story engaging and suspenseful.
Visually, Wildlands is stunning. The graphics are detailed and realistic, capturing the beauty and diversity of Bolivia. The animations are fluid, and the visual effects, such as explosions and gunfire, are intense and exciting. The attention to detail in the environments, from vegetation to city architecture, contributes to total immersion in the game world.
The soundtrack and sound effects are also high quality, with music that increases the tension and excitement of the missions, and ambient sounds that bring the game world to life. The noises of weapons, vehicles and dialogue between characters are authentic, reinforcing the atmosphere of a realistic military scenario.
72 – HEAVY RAIN REMASTERED
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Heavy-Rain.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Dude, get ready for an intense trip because Heavy Rain Remastered on PS4 is one of those games that messes with your head! Originally released on the PS3 in 2010, this remastered version arrived on the PS4 in 2016 to show that psychological thrillers in video games are serious business!
So, let’s go: Heavy Rain is like an interactive film, you know? But don’t think that you just have to press a button. Your choices completely change the course of the story. It’s as if you have the remote control over the characters’ lives in your hands, deciding their fate in each scene.
The plot revolves around the Origami Killer, a sinister serial killer who kidnaps children during periods of intense rain (hence the name Heavy Rain, you know?). You control four different characters, each with their own story, but all connected in some way to these bizarre crimes.
The main protagonist is Ethan Mars, an architect who is going through a difficult time. His son was kidnapped by the Origami Killer and now he needs to go through some crazy challenges to try to save the child. It’s heartbreaking, bro. You feel the guy’s desperation in your skin.
There’s Madison Paige, an insomniac journalist who ends up getting involved in the investigation. She’s tough and isn’t afraid to get into trouble to find out the truth. There are some scenes with her that will leave you glued to the screen, making you root for her to escape super tense situations.
The third playable character is Norman Jayden, an FBI agent with massive hi-tech equipment. He uses something called ARI (Added Reality Interface) that gives him almost superhero-like abilities when investigating crime scenes. But the guy also has some serious drug problems, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the character.
Finally, there’s Scott Shelby, a grim-faced private detective investigating the murders on his own. He has some very intense scenes and keeps some secrets that will surprise you.
The crazy thing is how your decisions affect how the story unfolds. It is no exaggeration to say that each player will have a unique experience. There are multiple possible endings and the path to reach each of them depends entirely on your choices. It’s like a gamebook, but much more complex and visually incredible.
Speaking of visuals, the remastered version for PS4 is absurdly beautiful. The graphics, which were already impressive on the PS3, became even more realistic. The characters’ facial expressions are so well done that you can almost read their thoughts. And the scenarios? Man, there are some rain scenes that look real. It makes you want to grab an umbrella!
The gameplay is very different from what you are used to in other games. Many actions are done through Quick Time Events (QTE), where you have to press the right buttons at the right time. This may seem simple, but in practice it creates moments of absurd tension. There are times when your hands will sweat controlling the controller, you’ll be so nervous!
The soundtrack is another high point. Composed by Normand Corbeil, it creates an atmosphere of suspense that leaves you on the edge of the couch the entire time. There are moments when the music alone is enough to make your heart race.
One thing I find amazing is how the game mixes investigation, action and personal drama. One moment you’re analyzing clues at a crime scene, the next you’re in a crazy car chase, and then you’re having to make a super difficult moral decision that could change the course of everything.
The script is full of twists and turns. Just when you think you understand everything, a revelation comes that turns the game upside down. It’s the kind of story that makes you want to play again just to see what happens if you make different choices.
Heavy Rain also covers some very heavy themes. Depression, addiction, police corruption, the limits of what a father would do for a child… it’s a game that isn’t afraid to make you think and feel difficult things.
The cool thing is that, even though it’s an older game, the remastered version for PS4 hasn’t lost anything in relevance. The questions that the game raises are still very current and the innovative gameplay still surprises even those who are used to more recent narrative games.
One thing that can divide opinions is the pace of the game. There are slower moments, of character building and setting. But, in my opinion, this only makes the action moments even more impactful. It’s like an emotional roller coaster.
In the end, Heavy Rain Remastered is one of those games that stays with you long after you finish it. You’ll find yourself thinking about the choices you made, wondering how things could have been different. It’s the kind of experience that blurs the line between game and interactive art.
So, if you enjoy a well-told story, complex characters, difficult decisions and are not afraid of a game that will make you think as much as act, Heavy Rain is a must. It’s an intense journey through the darkest side of human nature, but with moments of hope and redemption that make you believe that, in the end, our choices really matter. Are you ready for this experience?
71 – BEYOND: TWO SOULS
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Beyond-Two-Souls.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Let’s dive head first into the crazy universe of Beyond: Two Souls! This game is an astral journey that will literally blow your mind! Originally released for the PS3 in 2013 and remastered for the PS4 in 2015, this game is one of those that mixes cinema and video games in a way you’ve never seen before!
Just imagine: you control Jodie Holmes, a girl who since she was little has had a supernatural connection with an invisible entity called Aiden. And no, it’s not that imaginary friend of yours from childhood! Aiden is a powerful spirit who can pass through walls, possess people and objects, and even create a protective shield around Jodie. Too much, right?
The crazy thing is that the game tells Jodie’s story from childhood to adulthood, but not in a linear way. You jump back and forth in time, putting together the puzzle of this incredible character’s life. And guess who plays Jodie? None other than Ellen Page (now known as Elliot Page)! That’s right, that incredible actress from Juno and Inception is in the game, with motion capture and everything!
And it doesn’t stop there! Willem Dafoe, that badass actor you know from Spider-Man and a bunch of other films, is also in the game as Nathan Dawkins, a scientist who takes care of Jodie and studies her paranormal abilities. The performance of these guys raises the level of the game to the stratosphere!
The gameplay is a one stop shop. You control Jodie in everyday situations, like cooking, taking a shower, getting dressed… but also in intense action scenes, with chases, fights and even spy missions! And the coolest thing is that you can switch to Aiden at any time, using his powers to solve puzzles, protect Jodie or create total chaos!
The story is enough to make the hair stand on the back of your neck! You follow Jodie from when she was little, seeing how she deals with being “different”, through her rebellious adolescence, until she becomes a CIA agent with supernatural powers. There are moments that will make you laugh, others that will make you cry, and some that will leave you jaw dropped with the twists and turns!
The game’s visuals are so beautiful in the face! The PS4 version made everything even more realistic, with improved textures, more natural lighting and special effects that will make you doubt whether you’re playing a game or watching a movie. The characters’ facial expressions are so detailed that you can feel every emotion just by looking at them.
And man, the action scenes are out of this world! There’s a sequence on a farm that looks straight out of a horror film. Another time you’re in a secret government laboratory running away from soldiers. Then you’re in the middle of the desert fighting evil spirits. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish!
What I find coolest is how your choices affect the story. It’s not just “choose A or B”, it’s much more subtle and complex. The way you interact with the other characters, the decisions you make at critical moments, all of this shapes Jodie’s destiny and those around her. There are several possible endings and the path to reach each of them is unique!
The soundtrack is another high point. Composed by Lorne Balfe and Hans Zimmer (yes, that Hans Zimmer from Inception and Interstellar!), the music completely immerses you in the game’s atmosphere. There are moments when music alone is enough to leave your heart in your mouth!
Beyond: Two Souls is also not afraid to tackle heavy themes. Bullying, depression, the ethics behind scientific experiments, the weight of having a “gift” you didn’t ask for… the game makes you think a lot about these issues while you’re playing.
One thing that divides opinions, but which I think is brilliant, is how the game mixes everyday moments with epic supernatural scenes. One minute you’re helping Jodie get ready for a date, the next you’re using Aiden’s powers to save an entire city from a nuclear explosion. This mix creates an incredible contrast and makes you connect even more with the character.
The cool thing about the remastered version for PS4 is that it comes with an option to play the events in chronological order, in addition to the original mixed order. This gives you two completely different experiences with the same game! Plus, there are some extra scenes that weren’t in the PS3 version, expanding the story even further.
Another great feature is the local cooperative mode. One player controls Jodie and the other Aiden. It’s a super fun way to enjoy the game with a friend, deciding the direction of the story together.
Ultimately, Beyond: Two Souls is one of those games that sticks with you long after you finish it. It’s an experience that mixes cinematic narrative, innovative gameplay and a story that makes you question what’s normal and what’s supernatural.
So, if you enjoy a strong narrative, complex characters, jaw-dropping visuals and are not afraid of a game that will make you feel every possible emotion, Beyond: Two Souls is a must. It’s a spiritual, emotional and supernatural journey that will leave you hooked from beginning to end. Are you ready to find out how far the connection between Jodie and Aiden goes? Let’s go on this paranormal trip!
70 – SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER

These challenges are not just obstacles, but also important pieces of the narrative, revealing more about ancient civilizations and their connections to the main plot.
Combat in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is intense and strategic. Lara can use a variety of weapons, such as bows, pistols and rifles, as well as improvised tools such as knives and axes. The ability to use the environment to create traps and distract enemies adds an extra layer of tactical depth. The game also introduces new abilities and upgrades that can be unlocked as players progress, allowing you to customize Lara’s playstyle to suit her preferences.
Visually, the game is a stunning spectacle. The Peruvian jungle is vibrant and detailed, with rich wildlife and lush flora creating an immersive environment. The lighting and weather effects are especially impressive, contributing to the game’s tense and mysterious atmosphere. Each setting is carefully crafted, from indigenous villages to hidden temples, providing a constant sense of discovery and adventure.
The soundtrack and sound design are equally notable, with music that heightens the tension during moments of danger and creates a sense of wonder and exploration while exploring the ancient ruins. Realistic sound effects, from the sound of foliage being pushed around to the distant noises of wild animals, help bring the game world to life convincingly.
In addition to the main campaign, the game offers a series of additional challenges, including side missions, collectibles, and varying difficulty modes that encourage replayability. Side quests often explore side stories and local characters, adding more depth to the game world.

With a combination of engaging storytelling, challenging gameplay, and stunning visuals, the game offers an action-adventure experience that is both thrilling and emotionally resonant.

67 – SONIC MANIA
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Sonic-Mania.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Sonic Mania, released for PlayStation 4 in August 2017, is a vibrant and nostalgic celebration of Sega’s iconic blue hedgehog, Sonic. Developed by Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games, this title captures the essence of classic 90s platformers, bringing back the fast and fluid gameplay that won the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
The story of Sonic Mania begins when Sonic, Tails and Knuckles discover a mysterious energy source called Phantom Ruby. This discovery leads them on a new adventure, where they face Dr. Eggman and his army of Hard-Boiled Heavies, robots who also desire the power of the Phantom Ruby. The narrative, although simple, is a perfect excuse to immerse players in a series of vibrant and challenging zones.
The gameplay is where Sonic Mania really shines. The game combines classic mechanics from the original Sonic titles with new elements, creating an experience that is both familiar and fresh. Controls are precise and responsive, allowing players to accelerate, jump and spin through intricate levels filled with obstacles, enemies and secret paths. Each zone is divided into two acts, culminating in creative boss battles that require skill and strategy to overcome.

66 – PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE LOST CROWN
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Prince-of-Persia-The-Lost-Crown.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Jeez, bro! Let’s talk about Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown? This game is a bomb that hit the PS4 in January 2024 and is making people go crazy! It’s like a rebirth of the Prince of Persia franchise, but with a totally new and super exciting vibe!
So, check it out: this time we don’t control the Prince, but rather a young and super skilled warrior called Sargon. He is part of an elite group called The Immortals (sinister name, right?), and is on a mission to rescue Prince Ghassan, who was kidnapped. It seems simple, right? But that’s when the bug hits!
The whole stop takes place at Mount Qaf, a mystical place full of ancient ruins, mythological creatures and deadly traps. And bro, it’s not an exaggeration to say that this scenario is a character in itself. Each area in the game has its own personality, from lush forests to underground temples full of secrets. It’s drooling!
The gameplay is pure metroidvania, my partner! If you enjoy exploration, unlockable abilities and backtracking, you’ll love it. At the beginning, Sargon is already an animal warrior, but as you progress through the game, he becomes even more powerful. You will gain abilities like controlling time (classic from Prince of Persia), teleporting and even summoning a bow made of pure energy!
And the fighting? My God, what a satisfying thing! The fighting system is deep, allowing you to create insane combos by mixing normal attacks, special abilities, and parkour moves. There are enemies of all types, from common soldiers to gigantic bosses that will test all your skills.
Speaking of parkour, bro, the platform sequences are a show in themselves! You’ll jump, slide, run along walls and use your skills to cross areas that seem impossible. It’s that kind of game that makes you say “woohoo!” when you can do a difficult sequence.
The story is full of twists and turns. Without giving spoilers, let’s just say that nothing is what it seems. There’s betrayal, time travel, ancient gods… it’s a plot that mixes elements of Persian mythology with a super engaging modern narrative. You’ll want to play just to see what happens next!
The graphics are amazing! Even though it’s a 2D game (or 2.5D, to be more exact), the scenarios are super detailed and full of life. The character animations are too fluid, especially in the fight scenes. What about the visual effects of special abilities? Man, it’s jaw-dropping!
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. It’s a mix of electronic music with traditional Persian instruments that creates a unique atmosphere. There are moments when the music makes you tense, others that excite you for battle, and some that are pure contemplation of the beauty of the scenery.
One thing that I found annoying is the amulet system. You can find several of them scattered throughout the game and can equip them to gain different buffs. Want to focus on damage? There’s an amulet for that. Prefer health regeneration? Also have! You can customize your playing style in several different ways.
The level design is brilliant. As you gain new skills, previously inaccessible areas open up, revealing secrets and shortcuts. It’s very satisfying to return to an old area with new skills and discover paths you never knew existed.
And the puzzles? Man, they are challenging in the right way! There are some that involve time manipulation, others that require perfect timing, and some that will leave you scratching your head for a long time before solving them. But when you solve it, the feeling is pure accomplishment!
The game doesn’t skimp on bosses either. Each boss is unique, with different attack patterns and weaknesses that you need to discover. There are some that are true bullet hell, making you dodge a thousand attacks while looking for an opening to counterattack.
One thing I really liked is how the game respects your time. It has a bunch of save points spread out smartly, so you never lose much progress if you die. This allows you to try risky tactics without fear of losing time in the game.
The game map is another brilliant stop. It reveals itself as you explore, and has a marker system that helps you remember important areas to return to later. It’s super useful for those who like to do 100% of the game.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown also has a New Game+ mode, which allows you to play again while retaining all the skills you’ve unlocked. It’s perfect for those who want to explore alternative paths or just enjoy being super powerful from the beginning.
Ultimately, this game is a love letter to both old Prince of Persia fans and people who enjoy a good metroidvania. It’s challenging, it’s beautiful, it’s addictive. It’s one of those games that you start playing and the next thing you know, it’s dawn and you’re still glued to the controller.
So, if you enjoy action, platforming, exploration and an engaging story, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a must-have. It’s a perfect mix of nostalgia and innovation that will remind you why you love video games. Would you like to embark on this adventure through Mount Qaf?
65 – BATTLEFIELD 1
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Battlefield-1.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Battlefield 1 arrived in 2016 and simply revolutionized the FPS scene! This game is a time travel that throws you head first into the First World War, but in a way you’ve never seen before!
Just imagine: you are there, in the middle of the mud of the trenches, with bullets whizzing everywhere, tanks advancing and planes bombing everything. It’s total madness! DICE, the guys behind the game, managed to capture the brutal and chaotic essence of the Great War in a way that makes you feel like you were actually there.
The campaign mode is chilling! Instead of following a single protagonist, you embark on several different “war stories”. Each puts you in the shoes of a unique character, from a tank pilot in France to a Berber messenger in the Arabian desert. It’s a brilliant approach that shows how the war affected people from all parts of the world.
But it’s in multiplayer that Battlefield 1 really shines! The maps are huge and incredibly detailed. You can fight in the destroyed streets of a French city, in the snow-capped mountains of the Italian Alps, or on the scorching sands of the Sinai desert. And the best part: everything is destructible! Buildings collapse, craters form from explosions, the landscape changes as the battle progresses.
The class system is well balanced. You can be an Assault, specialized in destroying vehicles; a Doctor, keeping his team alive in the midst of chaos; a Support, providing ammunition and suppressive fire; or a Scout, observing the battlefield and eliminating targets from a distance. Each class has its crucial role and cooperation between them is essential for victory.
And the vehicles? My God, what an epic thing! You can fly heavy tanks that crush everything in their path, biplanes for breathtaking aerial duels, or even a huge airship that can change the course of an entire match!
One of the most innovative game modes is “Operations”. It’s basically a series of connected battles that recreate historical campaigns from the First World War. One team attacks, trying to capture objectives, while the other defends. If the attackers win, the battle moves to the next map. It’s intense, it’s epic and it can last for hours!
The graphics are jaw-dropping! The Frostbite engine is firing on all cylinders here. The explosions are realistic, the lighting is incredible (that desert sunset is breathtaking), and the dynamic weather effects add an extra layer of immersion. Sandstorms can appear out of nowhere, completely changing the dynamics of the match.
The sound? Man, it’s another level! The deafening noise of artillery, the whine of bullets passing close to your head, the screams of soldiers… everything contributes to creating an incredibly tense and realistic atmosphere. If you have a good headset, get ready for a mind-blowing sound experience!
One thing I found brilliant was how the game balances the serious atmosphere of war with moments of pure adrenaline and even a bit of dark humor. There are times when you’re reflecting on the horror of war, and the next minute you’re in a crazy horse versus tank chase!
The progression system is addictive. The more you play, the more you unlock new weapons, accessories and “skins” to customize your soldiers. And speaking of weapons, the variety is impressive! From pistols and rifles to flamethrowers and mustard gas grenades, the arsenal is faithful to the period, but with that touch of creative freedom that makes everything more fun.
The maps deserve a paragraph of their own. Each is a work of art, with strategic points, secret routes and dynamic “events” that can change the course of battle. On one map, a huge tower may collapse, creating a new route. In another, a storm can make visibility difficult. This unpredictability keeps the matches fresh and exciting.
The “Behemoths” mode is another incredible innovation. If a team is losing badly, they are given a gigantic, super powerful vehicle to try and turn the game around. It could be an armored train, an airship or even a battleship! Seeing these huge machines entering the battlefield is breathtaking.
Battlefield 1 also isn’t afraid to tackle the darker aspects of war. The game’s prologue, for example, puts you in the shoes of several soldiers in a losing battle, showing how lives were wasted in that conflict. It’s a mature and respectful approach that elevates the game above a simple “shoot-and-bomb”.
The game’s post-launch was incredible, with several DLCs that added new maps, weapons and even armies (like the Russians and the French). This has kept the community active for a long time, always with fresh content to explore.
One aspect that many people liked was the inclusion of experimental weapons and vehicles of the time. This adds a touch of “what if?” to experience, allowing you to use technologies that were only in their infancy during the First World War.
At the end of the day, Battlefield 1 is more than a shooter. It’s an immersive experience that transports you to one of the most turbulent periods in human history. It’s thrilling, it’s epic, it’s brutal, but it’s also a reflection on the human cost of war.
So, if you enjoy FPS, military history, or just want an intense and unforgettable multiplayer experience, Battlefield 1 is a must-have. It’s one of those games that defines a generation, that makes you grateful to be living in the age of video games. Get ready to dive head first into the trenches of the First World War. The battle awaits you, soldier!
64 – LIES OF P
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Lies-of-P.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Lies of P exploded onto the gaming scene in 2023 and left everyone’s jaw dropped! This game is a crazy journey that takes the story of Pinocchio, that wooden doll that we know from fairy tales, and transforms it into a dark, steampunk universe that will make your head spin!
Just imagine: you are Pinocchio, but not that cute little doll from the Disney cartoon. No no! Here you are a super stylish and deadly automaton, waking up in a city called Krat, which is in total chaos. The city is taken over by killing machines and a mysterious disease, and you need to find out what happened and find Geppetto, its creator.
The game’s visuals are jaw-dropping! Krat is a mix of Belle Époque and steampunk, full of narrow streets, majestic buildings and bizarre machines everywhere. The atmosphere is dense and oppressive, with a constant fog and lighting that always leaves you with the feeling that there is something lurking in the shadows. It’s chilling!
The combat in Lies of P is brutally challenging, in the best soulslike style. You have to be fast, precise and strategic. Every enemy is a real threat, what about the bosses? My friend, prepare to die… a lot! But it’s that kind of challenge that, when you overcome it, gives you an incredible feeling of accomplishment!
One of the coolest features of the game is the weapons system. You can customize your mechanical “arms” with different abilities. Want a flamethrower? He has! Prefer a hook to pull enemies? Also have! This variety allows you to adapt your play style depending on the situation.
The story is full of twists and mysteries. As you progress, you will discover dark secrets about Krat, your own existence, and the nature of humanity. The game isn’t afraid to tackle heavy topics like identity, free will, and what it really means to be “human.”
A super interesting element is the lie system. At various points in the game, you can choose between telling the truth or lying. Your choices affect not only the story, but also how other characters see you and even your own “humanity”. It’s a brilliant touch that adds depth to the narrative and makes you think about the consequences of each decision.
The game’s bosses are a show in themselves! Each is unique, with bizarre and terrifying designs that mix flesh and machine in disturbing ways. Facing them is always an intense experience that will test all your skills and your patience.
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. It’s a mix of classical music with electronic elements that creates a unique atmosphere. There are moments when the music makes you tense, others that move you, and some that simply give you goosebumps due to its dark beauty.
The level design is brilliant. The city of Krat is an interconnected maze full of shortcuts and secrets. Exploring every corner is rewarding, whether it’s finding valuable items, unlocking shortcuts or simply discovering more about the game’s lore through scattered notes and environmental details.
One thing I found brilliant was how the game plays with the expectations of those who know the original story of Pinocchio. Famous characters appear, but in totally unexpected and often disturbing ways. It’s like a fairy tale passed through a steampunk and gothic horror filter.
The progression system is addictive. You gain “experience” that you can use to improve your attributes, but you also collect parts to upgrade your weapons and “légions” (which are like spirits that give you special abilities). There’s always something new to unlock or improve, which keeps you motivated to keep exploring and facing challenges.
The puzzles and riddles spread throughout the game are another highlight. They range from simple mechanical puzzles to complex riddles that require you to piece together clues from various parts of the game. Solving these challenges is super satisfying and often reveals more about the story and world of Lies of P.
The combat deserves a special highlight. In addition to being challenging, it is incredibly fluid and satisfying. Each weapon has its own fighting style, and you can switch between them mid-combat to create devastating combos. Mastering the parry and dodge system is crucial and, once you get the hang of it, fights become a kind of deadly dance.
Visually, the game is a feast for the eyes. The details in the scenarios, enemies and especially the bosses are impressive. The animations are fluid and brutal, especially in the special finishes you can perform on weakened enemies.
One aspect that many people liked was how the game balances moments of extreme tension with hints of dark humor. Some dialogue and situations are genuinely funny, which provides a welcome relief from the oppressive atmosphere.
The post-game is also pretty cool, with a New Game+ mode that adds new challenges and lets you try out different builds and story choices. This greatly increases replayability and makes you want to dive back into this fascinating world.
At the end of the day, Lies of P is more than a game. It’s an immersive experience that takes a classic tale and transforms it into something entirely new and unexpected. It’s challenging, it’s beautiful, it’s disturbing, but most of all, it’s unforgettable.
So, if you enjoy challenging games, complex narratives, steampunk visuals and aren’t afraid of facing some nightmares, Lies of P is a must. It’s one of those games that stays in your head long after you finish, making you question what’s true and what’s a lie. Get ready for an incredible journey through the dark streets of Krat. Lies await you, puppet!

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Kena-Bridge-of-Spirits.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Get ready for a magical and exciting adventure with Kena: Bridge of Spirits! This game, released in 2021, is a true gem that combines a captivating story, breathtaking visuals and addictive gameplay that will keep you hooked from start to finish!
Just imagine: you control Kena, a young spiritual guide with mystical powers, on a journey to save an ancient village from dark corruption. The game’s visuals are simply stunning! It feels like you’re in a Pixar or Studio Ghibli film. The colors are vibrant, the animations are fluid and each scene is full of details that make you want to stop just to admire the landscape.
Kena’s story is moving and profound. As you progress, you will discover the village’s secrets, helping lost spirits find peace and unraveling the mystery behind the corruption that plagues the land. It’s the type of narrative that makes you laugh one moment and cry the next, with captivating characters and situations that touch your heart.

Exploration in Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a pleasure. The world is semi-open, full of secrets to discover, collectibles to find and optional areas to explore. Each region has its own unique atmosphere and challenges. You’ll find yourself wanting to scour every nook and cranny looking for new Rot to add to your cute army or adorable hats to customize them (yes, you can put little hats on Rot, and it’s the cutest thing you’ll ever see in a video game ).
The game’s puzzles are another high point. They are intelligent and well integrated into the environment, allowing you to use Kena and Rot’s abilities in creative ways. There are puzzles that involve light manipulation, others that require perfect timing, and some that will leave you scratching your head for a long time before you have that “aha!” moment. of achievement.

One of the most praised aspects of Kena: Bridge of Spirits is how it perfectly balances different elements. There are moments of pure action, others of calm exploration, exciting platform sequences and touching scenes that develop the story. This variety keeps the game fresh and exciting.
The game’s bosses are truly spectacular. Each is unique, with designs that mix beauty and terror. Facing them is always an intense experience that combines all the skills you’ve learned so far. What about the cutscenes after defeating them? Chilling!

60 – TONY HAWK’S PRO SKATER 1 + 2
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/tony-hawks-pro-skater-1-2-1024x576.jpg?resize=750%2C422&ssl=1)
This bombastic remake arrived in 2020 and simply blew everyone’s minds, both old fans and new people who had never gotten their hands on a Tony Hawk before!
Just imagine: you take the first two games in the legendary Tony Hawk series, those classics that everyone played on the PlayStation 1, and give an absurd upgrade to the graphics, gameplay and content. It’s like taking your nostalgia, boosting it with nitro and kicking it 900 degrees!
The visuals are jaw-dropping! Each map has been recreated with an insane level of detail. You recognize all the iconic places – the Warehouse, the School, Downtown Los Angeles – but now they’re full of life, with realistic textures, dynamic lighting, and tons of Easter eggs scattered around for eagle-eyed fans to discover.
And the gameplay? Bro, it’s perfect! The developers managed to capture exactly the feel of the original games, but with more refined and responsive controls. You make insane combos by chaining maneuvers in a fluid and natural way. It’s so satisfying that you find yourself trying to beat your own records again and again.
The cast of skaters is a perfect mix of legends and new talent. You have the classics like Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen and Bob Burnquist, but also new people like Nyjah Huston and Aori Nishimura. Each skater has their own style and unique stats, so you can choose the one that best suits the way you play.
One of the coolest things is how the game balances nostalgia with new things. All the classic objectives are there – collect the SKATE letters, find the secret tape, get high scores – but now there are a bunch of new challenges that make you explore the maps in different ways.
The Create-A-Skater mode is another highlight. You can create your own skater from scratch, customizing everything from the look to the skate style. And the best part: as you play and complete challenges, you will unlock more customization options. It’s too addictive to keep improving your character!
The soundtrack? My God, what a perfect thing! They kept the classic songs that everyone loves – the ones you hear and are transported back to the year 2000 – but added a bunch of new tracks that perfectly match the spirit of the game. It’s a mix of punk, hip-hop and rock that leaves you hyped to do that insane combo.
Multiplayer mode is total madness! You can play online or in local split-screen, competing in several different modes. It has the classics like Trick Attack and Graffiti, but also new modes that will make you rack your brains to develop strategies. And there’s nothing better than making fun of your friends by sending an impossible stunt right in their faces!
One thing I found brilliant was how they implemented the challenge system. In addition to the normal objectives of each map, there is a huge list of challenges that range from simple things like doing a certain number of flips to absurdly difficult maneuvers that only masters can do. This gives the game huge replayability.
Park Creator is another feature that will make you waste hours and hours. You can create your own maps from scratch, placing ramps, handrails, half-pipes and a bunch of other obstacles. The community has already created amazing things, and you can download and play on other players’ maps. It’s basically infinite content!
One thing that a lot of people liked was how the game is accessible for newcomers, but still offers a challenge for veterans. There are a bunch of assistance options you can activate if you’re having difficulty, but if you want that hardcore experience, just leave everything in classic mode.
Replays are another addictive aspect. After sending that perfect line, you can watch it from different angles, in slow motion, and even edit it to create cool videos. There’s a huge community sharing insane clips online.
The game also has a global progression system that rewards you for literally everything you do. Earn XP for doing tricks, completing challenges, playing online… And as you level up, you’ll unlock a lot of new content, from clothes and shapes to secret maps.
One thing I found cool was how they paid homage to skateboarding culture. It has a lot of references to classic skate videos, iconic brands and famous real-world spots. It’s the kind of thing that makes true skate fans smile from ear to ear.
The level of detail in the animations is absurd. Every trick feels authentic, with skaters positioning their feet correctly and the board reacting realistically to physics. It’s the kind of thing you only notice after playing for hours, but it makes all the difference in immersion.
And you know whats is most cool? The game continues to receive updates and seasonal events. From time to time, online competitions with exclusive rewards take place, which keeps the community always active and excited.
Ultimately, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is more than a remake. It’s a love letter to fans of the series and a perfect entry point for those who have never played before. It’s the type of game that makes you lose track of time, always thinking “just one more run” until you realize it’s already dawn.
So, if you enjoy skateboarding games, or just want a fun and addictive experience that mixes nostalgia with novelty, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a must-have. It’s one of those games that reminds you why you love video games, transporting you back to that feeling of freedom and rebellion that only skateboarding provides. Let’s drop on this ramp and let’s see?
59 – STREET FIGHTER 6
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Street-Fighter-6.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Street Fighter 6 arrived in 2023 and simply revolutionized the fighting game scene! This new entry in the legendary Capcom franchise came with everything to show that it is still number one when it comes to exchanging virtual punches and kicks!
Street Fighter 6 brings back all that classic feeling that we love, but with a massive dose of innovation. The look is jaw-dropping! The characters have never been so alive and expressive. Every punch, kick and hadouken is an explosion of colors and effects that seem to jump off the screen. And the scenarios? My God, they are practically characters in their own right, full of details and interactions that make you want to pause the game just to admire them.
The roster of fighters is a perfect mix of familiar faces and new challengers. Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile… the classic crowd is all there, but with updated visuals and new tricks up their sleeves. And the newbies? Man, they did great! There’s Luke, who had already appeared as DLC in SF5, Jamie with her drunken fighting style, and Kimberly, who mixes ninjutsu with hip-hop culture in a way you’ve never seen before!
But what really makes Street Fighter 6 shine is the gameplay. The new combat system, called “Drive System”, adds an extra layer of strategy to fights. You have a Drive bar that can be used for a variety of things: absorb attacks, do cancels, dash attacks… The possibilities are enormous and give an absurd depth to the game.
One of the coolest new features is the “Modern Control Type”. It’s a simplified control scheme that allows even those who have never played Street Fighter before to pull off cool combos. But don’t think that this makes the game too easy! To really master it, you still need a lot of training and skill.
World Tour mode is an amazing addition! It’s basically an open-world story mode where you create your own fighter and explore various cities around the world, learning different fighting styles and interacting with iconic characters from the series. It’s like a fighting RPG, and it’s super addictive!
Speaking of character creation, the avatar you make in World Tour can be used in Battle Hub mode, which is basically the game’s online lobby. It’s super fun to run around with your custom fighter, challenging other players and participating in tournaments.
SF6’s netcode is a dream come true for the fighting game community. They used rollback netcode, which makes online fights super smooth, almost as if you were playing locally. That frustration of losing because of lag is over!
One thing I found brilliant was the real-time commenting system. You can activate narrators who comment on your fights as if it were an eSports broadcast. There are even famous commentators from the FGC scene! This adds an extra layer of excitement to matches.
Training mode is another highlight. It’s super complete, with a lot of options for you to practice combos, test specific situations and really understand the mechanics of the game. There’s even a mode that teaches you frame data in a very visual and easy-to-understand way.
Classic modes like Arcade and Versus are back and better than ever. Arcade Mode has beautiful cutscenes for each character, telling their individual stories. What about local Versus? Man, there’s nothing better than inviting friends over for a Street Fighter session in the living room!
One thing the community is loving is the “Extreme Battles”. There are fighting modes with crazy rules that change periodically. Like, one minute you’re fighting a bull invading the arena, the next the floor is on fire. It’s hilarious and adds a really fun element of chaos to the game.
The progression system is pretty cool too. As you play, you earn “Drive Tickets” that can be used to buy a ton of cosmetic items. There are clothes, victory poses, fighter comments… a lot of things for you to customize your experience.
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. It’s a mix of classic themes remixed with new songs that capture the vibe of each character and location perfectly. There’s hip-hop, rock, electronic music… it’s diverse and exciting from start to finish.
SF6’s graphics are a show in themselves. They used the RE Engine, the same one used in games like Resident Evil, and the result is impressive. The animations are fluid, the special effects are spectacular, and the lighting gives a realistic touch even while maintaining that somewhat cartoonish style characteristic of the series.
One thing that is very popular are the “dynamic poses” that happen when two super moves collide. The camera zooms in dramatically and for a second it feels like you’re watching a fighting anime. It’s too epic!
The game also has a big focus on eSports and the competitive scene. It has integrated tools for organizing tournaments, spectator mode, replay sharing… Everything designed to foster the community and make the game last for many years.
And we can’t forget the Fun Factor. Even with all the technical depth, Street Fighter 6 doesn’t forget to be fun. The characters’ exaggerated expressions, the funny interactions, the over-the-top punches… all of this maintains the cheerful and sometimes even silly spirit that has always been a trademark of the series.
At the end of the day, Street Fighter 6 is more than a fighting game. It’s a celebration of a legendary franchise, a virtual playground for longtime fans and a welcoming gateway for newcomers. It’s the type of game that makes you want to improve, that excites you with every victory and makes you want more even after a defeat.
So, if you enjoy fighting games, or just want a fun and stylish competitive experience, Street Fighter 6 is a must-have. It’s one of those games that defines a generation, that will be played and loved for years to come. Prepare your fists, tune your reflexes and get on the wheel! The next challenge awaits you!

41 – NIER REPLICANT VER.1.22474487139…
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/NieR-Replicant-ver.1.22474487139.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is a game that takes all the madness of Yoko Taro, mixes it with frenetic action, a story that will fry your brain cells and serves it all with a crazy soundtrack!
So, here’s the deal: NieR Replicant is a turbocharged remake of the original NieR from the PS3, but man, it’s not just a remake. They took the game and upgraded practically everything! The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future, thousands of years after our time. You control a young man (who in the Japanese version is Yonah’s brother, but in the Western version he is her father) determined to save his sister/daughter from a mysterious disease called Runic Necrosis.
But, my friend, this is just the tip of the iceberg! NieR’s plot is one of the most complex and exciting you will find in a video game. It has twists, deep philosophical questions, and moments that will leave your jaw dropping. And the best? The game has multiple endings that completely change your perception of the story. You literally need to play several times to understand everything that’s going on!
Combat in NieR Replicant is pure adrenaline! It’s a mix of hack and slash with bullet hell elements that works perfectly. You can switch between different types of weapons mid-fight, create insane combos and even use magic to deal that extra damage. And the boss fights? Man, they’re too epic! Each boss is unique and will require different strategies to defeat.
Speaking of characters, get ready to meet one of the most interesting casts in games. There’s Grimoire Weiss, a magical talking book with more sass than many characters out there; Kainé, a tough swordswoman with a mouth as foul as her blade is sharp; and Emil, a boy with mysterious powers who will win you over instantly. Each of them has a complex and exciting backstory that develops throughout the game.
The graphics received a considerable upgrade in this version. The settings are breathtakingly beautiful, from sleepy villages to futuristic ruins. The characters are more detailed and expressive, and the combat animations are fluid and satisfying. But the look maintains that unique, somewhat melancholy charm that is the trademark of the NieR series.
Now, let’s talk about the soundtrack because, man… it’s out of this world! Keiichi Okabe excelled in the compositions. Each song perfectly matches the moment in the game, whether it’s an intense battle or an emotional moment. “Song of the Ancients”, “Kainé” and “Shadowlord” are just some of the tracks that will stay in your head for months after finishing the game.
One of the craziest things about NieR is how it plays with game genres. One moment you’re in a frantic hack and slash, the next you’re in an insane bullet hell, then it switches to a visual novel style text sequence… the game isn’t afraid to completely change the gameplay style to serve the narrative.
The sidequests in NieR are another level. These aren’t just generic “kill X monsters” missions. Each has its own story, often moving or disturbing, that expands the lore of the world. Some even change your perception of certain characters or events in the main plot.
A unique aspect of NieR is how it handles multiple playthroughs. Each time you “finish” the game, you unlock more of the story. And it’s not just about repeating the same thing! You get new perspectives, never-before-seen scenes, and even completely new playable parts. It’s like unveiling layers and layers of mystery.
The magic word system is pretty cool too. You can customize your spells with different effects, creating unique combinations that adapt to your play style. Want to make your magic attack bounce off enemies? Can! Prefer it to deal damage over time? It works too!
NieR Replicant also brings back the flower garden where you can plant and grow different seeds. It sounds silly, but it’s an addictive minigame that rewards you with useful items for the rest of the game.
One thing the game does very well is make you question what is right and wrong. Without giving spoilers, but there are moments that will leave you thinking for days after playing. Yoko Taro is not afraid to tackle heavy topics and make the player feel uncomfortable at times.
Version 1.22… also adds new content, including an all-new episode that takes place after the events of the original game. It’s an addition that longtime fans will go crazy over, and it adds even more depth to the story.
One great thing is how the game connects with NieR:Automata. If you’ve played Automata, you’ll find a bunch of references and connections that will make your head explode. If you haven’t played it, Replicant is a perfect gateway into the crazy universe of NieR.
And you know what’s craziest? Even after beating the game several times, there are still secrets to discover. The NieR fan community is known for unraveling mysteries hidden in the game’s smallest details.
Anyway, NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… is one of those games that defines a generation. It’s a unique experience that mixes action, drama, philosophy and a dash of madness in a way that only Yoko Taro can do.

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Devil-May-Cry-5.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Get ready for an avalanche of adrenaline, frantic action and insane combos, because Devil May Cry 5 is one of the most electrifying and stylized games to ever hit PlayStation 4! Developed by Capcom and released in March 2019, this game brought back the iconic demon hunter Dante, along with his partners Nero and the mysterious V, on an epic quest to save the world from a new demonic threat. Let’s dive head first into this rollercoaster of swords, weapons and supernatural abilities that is Devil May Cry 5!
First, we need to talk about the story. The plot of Devil May Cry 5 is intense and full of twists, starting with the emergence of a giant demonic tree called Qliphoth in the middle of Red Grave City, which begins to suck the life out of the inhabitants to strengthen its demonic fruits. Nero, now without his demonic arm (the Devil Bringer), takes action along with his mechanical partner, Nico, who builds combat prosthetics called Devil Breakers. Dante, our favorite demon hunter, also returns, and he’s ready to fight with style and attitude. The new character, V, adds a touch of mystery and brings with him a unique fighting style, controlling demons to do his dirty work. The narrative is exciting and keeps you glued to the screen, as the destinies of Nero, Dante and V intertwine in unexpected ways.
The gameplay of Devil May Cry 5 is, without a doubt, the highlight of the game. Each character offers a distinct and incredibly satisfying combat style. Nero, with his new mechanical arm, can utilize different Devil Breakers, each with unique abilities that range from explosive strikes to evasive maneuvers and long-range attacks. The ability to switch Devil Breakers during battles adds a strategic layer to combat, allowing you to quickly adapt to different situations and enemies.
Dante, on the other hand, is a true showman. With his ability to switch between four fighting styles – Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger and Royal Guard – and his vast arsenal of weapons, every fight with Dante is a stylized dance of destruction. Whether slicing through enemies with his Rebellion sword, shooting with his Ebony & Ivory pistols, or using his fanciest weapons like the Cavaliere motorcycle, Dante is pure action and spectacle.
And then we have V, a character totally different from the others. V doesn’t fight directly, but commands three demons – Griffon, an eagle that shoots lightning, Shadow, a panther that transforms into various weapons, and Nightmare, a colossus that causes mass destruction. Playing as V is about keeping your distance and letting your demons do the work, while you read poetry to recharge your demonic energy. This unique combat mechanic offers a refreshing break from Dante and Nero’s more straightforward style.
Devil May Cry 5’s graphics are jaw-dropping. Capcom used the RE Engine, the same technology behind Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 Remake, to create an incredibly detailed world and characters with fluid animations. Battles are a visual spectacle, with light and particle effects filling the screen as you unleash devastating combos. Every setting, from the devastated streets of Red Grave City to the darkest recesses of the Qliphoth tree, is beautifully rendered, providing a visually stunning experience.
The soundtrack is another high point, combining heavy rock and electronic music that dynamically adjusts to the player’s performance. The better you play, the more intense and epic the music becomes, encouraging you to improve your combos and maintain style. Songs like “Devil Trigger” and “Bury the Light” are anthems that will stick in your head long after you turn off the console.
The style rating system returns, encouraging players to be creative and varied in their attacks to earn the coveted “SSS” grades. Each battle becomes an opportunity to show your skills and earn a place at the top of the leaderboard. Replayability is high, with multiple difficulty levels that challenge even the most skilled players and extra modes that offer new challenges.
Devil May Cry 5 also has an online multiplayer mode called “Cameo System”. In certain missions, you can see other players fighting in real time in different parts of the scenario, and sometimes even collaborate with them to face hordes of enemies. It’s an interesting addition that makes the world feel more alive and interconnected.

38 – UNTIL DAWN
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Until-Dawn.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Developed by Supermassive Games and released in 2015, Until Dawn managed to win over a legion of fans with its immersive narrative, breathtaking decisions and impressive graphics. So, grab the popcorn, turn off the lights, and get ready for a mind-bending journey through the mysteries and horrors of Until Dawn!
Let’s start by talking about the plot, which is simply sensational. The story revolves around eight friends who gather at an isolated cabin in the mountains of Blackwood Pines, one year after the mysterious and tragic deaths of twin sisters, Hannah and Beth. What should be a peaceful reunion turns into a nightmare when dark forces begin to pursue them. The highlight of the game is the way it is presented as a typical horror film, full of clichés that we love, but with a depth and complexity that keeps us hooked from start to finish.
The great thing about Until Dawn is the system of choices and consequences, known as the butterfly effect. Every decision you make, no matter how small it may seem, can have a significant impact on the story and the fate of the characters. From seemingly trivial choices, such as whether or not to pick up an object, to life or death decisions, everything can drastically change the course of events. This makes each playthrough unique and keeps us on the edge of our seats, excited for what comes next.
Until Dawn’s characters are another strong point. Each of them has a well-defined personality and, as the plot unfolds, we learn more about their fears, secrets and motivations. We have the heartthrob Mike, the fearless Emily, the nerd Chris, the popular Jessica, among others. The dynamics between the characters and the way they interact under pressure is fascinating and increases the game’s tension even more. The actors’ performance is impeccable, especially Rami Malek, who plays Josh, and Hayden Panettiere, in the role of Sam. The facial expressions and motion capture are so realistic that we feel like we’re watching a movie.
Until Dawn’s gameplay is a mix of exploration, puzzle solving and QTE (Quick Time Events) action sequences. During exploration, you can find clues that help you better understand the events that took place in the cabin and increase your chances of saving the characters. QTEs are moments of high tension, where quick reflexes are essential to survive the dangers that arise. Furthermore, the game uses the PS4 controller in creative ways, such as asking the player to keep the controller still at critical moments, which further increases immersion.
Until Dawn’s graphics are spectacular. Supermassive Games has done an incredible job creating detailed, atmospheric environments that truly put us in the heart of the horror. The shadows, lighting and sound effects contribute to creating a constant feeling of fear and apprehension. Every corner of the cabin and the surrounding forest is filled with spooky details that make us look twice before moving forward.
The soundtrack is another element that raises the level of tension in Until Dawn. Composed by Jason Graves, the music is dark and engaging, heightening the sense of imminent danger. The sound effects are equally terrifying, from the silent footsteps in the hallway to the characters’ desperate screams. Everything is designed to keep the player on edge, always waiting for the next scare.
One of the coolest things about Until Dawn is its replayability. Due to the system of choices and consequences, each time you play may have a different outcome. This encourages you to explore all the possibilities and try to save (or not) all the characters. It’s a real test of your nerves and your ability to make quick, accurate decisions.
In addition to the main campaign, Until Dawn offers some interesting extras, such as making-of and interviews with the developers and actors. This additional content gives a more in-depth look at the game’s creation process and shows how much dedication and passion was put into the project.
If you’re a horror fan, Until Dawn is a must-have title in your collection. With its engaging narrative, charismatic characters, cutting-edge graphics and tense gameplay, it provides a unique and unforgettable experience. The feeling of making decisions that can save or doom the characters is something that stays with you long after you turn off the console.
So, get ready to face your fears and embark on this terrifying adventure in Until Dawn. Can you keep everyone alive until dawn? There’s only one way to find out. Good luck, and remember: every decision counts.

One of the first things you’ll notice about Rise of the Tomb Raider is the absolutely stunning graphics. Crystal Dynamics has done an impeccable job creating a vibrant and detailed world. Siberia is portrayed with icy beauty, full of dense snow-covered forests, icy caves and ancient ruins that seem to leap off the screen. Each environment is carefully constructed, with light and shadow effects that add an extra layer of realism and immersion.
Lara’s modeling is also worth highlighting.

35 – THE LAST GUARDIAN
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-Guardian.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
What’s up guys! Today we’re going to talk about a game that, even after years of waiting, managed to exceed all expectations and become a true masterpiece on PlayStation 4: The Last Guardian. If you enjoy games that mix adventure, emotion and a deep narrative, then get ready, because this journey will touch your heart. Developed by the legendary Fumito Ueda and his team at Team Ico, the game finally arrived in our hands in December 2016, after almost a decade of development, and I can assure you that every second of wait was worth it.
The story of The Last Guardian begins in a mysterious and intriguing way. You control a young boy who wakes up in an unknown cave, alongside a gigantic creature called Trico. Trico is a kind of hybrid between a bird and a mammal, with majestic wings, expressive eyes and a behavior that is somewhat reminiscent of a dog. The relationship between the boy and Trico is the heart of the game, and from the beginning, you realize that they are connected in a special way. Together, they must find a way to escape the ancient and dangerous ruins that surround them.
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-Guardian-01.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
What makes The Last Guardian so special is the way it builds the relationship between the boy and Trico. Team Ico managed to create artificial intelligence for Trico that is simply impressive. Trico is not just a virtual pet; he has his own personality, wants and emotions. Sometimes he can be stubborn and not immediately respond to his commands, which can be frustrating, but it’s also part of the game’s charm. You truly feel like you are interacting with a living creature, who needs time and patience to trust you.
The Last Guardian’s gameplay is focused on solving environmental puzzles and exploration. The boy is agile and can climb, jump and sneak through small openings, while Trico uses his strength and size to help overcome larger obstacles. Many of the game’s puzzles require close collaboration between the boy and Trico, which further strengthens the bond between them. As you progress, the trust between the two grows, and Trico becomes more responsive to your guidance, which is extremely rewarding.
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-Guardian-02.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Visually, The Last Guardian is a spectacle. The game takes place in a world that mixes ancient ruins with stunning natural landscapes. The art direction is simply magnificent, with a soft color palette and lighting that brings the environment to life in an almost magical way. Each setting appears to have been carefully created to convey a sense of mystery and beauty. Trico, in particular, is a work of digital art. Their movements are incredibly fluid and realistic, and every detail, from their feathers to their facial expressions, contributes to creating an emotional connection with the player.
The soundtrack for The Last Guardian is another highlight. Composed by Takeshi Furukawa, the game’s music is beautiful and emotional, perfectly complementing the boy and Trico’s journey. The soundtrack knows when to be subtle and when to be grand, always elevating the experience without ever becoming intrusive. The sound effects are also exquisite, with each sound contributing to total immersion in the game world. Trico’s roar, the echoes in the caves and the sound of the boy’s footsteps on the rocks contribute to creating an immersive and authentic atmosphere.
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-Guardian-03.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
One of the most striking features of The Last Guardian is its emotional narrative. The story is told subtly, without many dialogues, but with an emotional strength that is felt at every moment. The animations and interactions between the boy and Trico convey a wide range of emotions, from moments of fear and tension to scenes of tenderness and joy. The narrative is enhanced by beautifully animated cutscenes that seamlessly integrate into the gameplay, creating a cohesive and immersive experience.
While many modern games choose to offer gigantic, activity-filled open worlds, The Last Guardian chooses to focus on a more intimate and personal experience. This doesn’t mean the game is short or limited. On the contrary, the journey is full of memorable moments and significant challenges. Each environment is carefully designed to offer new challenges and rewards, encouraging exploration and curiosity.
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-Guardian-04.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
For all its beauty and innovation, The Last Guardian is not without its flaws. The camera can be a little problematic at times, especially in more confined areas, and Trico’s response to the player’s commands is not always immediate, which can lead to some frustration. However, these flaws are easily forgiven when considering the grandeur of the overall experience. Patience is rewarded with moments of pure magic that are rare in any medium, not just video games.
The Last Guardian is a game that needs to be experienced by anyone who considers themselves a fan of video games. It is an interactive work of art that combines deep, emotional storytelling with innovative gameplay and stunning visuals. The relationship between the boy and Trico is one of the most authentic and moving ever seen in a game, and their journey is something that will stay with you long after the credits roll. If you are looking for a unique experience that will touch your heart and challenge your mind, look no further. The Last Guardian is all this and much more, a true treasure in the PlayStation 4 catalog. So, get ready for an unforgettable adventure and dive head first into this incredible story of friendship and courage.
34 – SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Shadow-Of-The-Colossus.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Get ready for an epic adventure that will be etched in your memory, as Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most memorable games on the PlayStation 4. This game is a true classic, a masterpiece that transcends time and continues to fascinate veterans alike. as well as new players. If you are a fan of exciting adventures, colossal battles and a deep, enigmatic story, then this game needs to be in your library of titles!
Shadow of the Colossus was originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2005, but received a remastered version for the PS4 that took the graphics and gameplay to a new level. The game’s story is relatively simple, but incredibly captivating. You play as Wander, a young warrior who travels to a forbidden land with the aim of resurrecting a girl named Mono. To achieve this goal, Wander must defeat sixteen gigantic colossi spread across this vast and desolate world.
Wander’s journey begins at the Temple of Worship, where he places Mono’s limp body on an altar and begs the entity Dormin to bring the girl back to life. Dormin accepts the order, but warns that the price will be high. To achieve Mono’s resurrection, Wander must destroy the sixteen idols present in the temple, and to do this, he must defeat the colossi that represent these idols. Armed with an ancient sword and accompanied by her faithful horse Agro, Wander sets out to face these titanic creatures.
What makes Shadow of the Colossus so special is the way it combines gameplay, narrative, and aesthetics. Each colossus is a walking puzzle, requiring the player to figure out how to climb them and find their weak points. The battles against the colossi are epic and each one is unique, with its own strategies and challenges. From climbing a giant’s legs to clinging to the wings of a flying colossus, the diversity of mechanics keeps the game always exciting and surprising.
The world of Shadow of the Colossus is vast and desolate, but at the same time incredibly beautiful. PS4 graphics bring new life to this universe, with stunning landscapes ranging from dense forests to arid deserts and towering mountains. The feeling of solitude and exploration is palpable, and each colossus you encounter becomes an important milestone on your journey. The soundtrack, composed by Kow Otani, perfectly complements the environment, with music that ranges from soft, contemplative melodies to epic, intense themes during battles against the colossi.
In addition to the epic battles, Shadow of the Colossus also offers moments of introspection and reflection. Wander’s relationship with his horse, Agro, is one of the most moving aspects of the game. Agro is not just a means of transport; he is your faithful companion, helping you navigate the vast landscapes and providing a sense of comfort in the midst of loneliness. Agro’s animation is incredibly realistic, and you really feel the connection between Wander and his horse as the journey progresses.
Shadow of the Colossus’ narrative is told in a minimalist way, but this only adds to its depth. There is little dialogue, and the story is revealed mainly through actions and events in the game. This approach leaves a lot of room for interpretation and reflection, and many players find themselves thinking about the game’s themes long after they’ve defeated the last colossus. Wander’s fight to save Mono raises questions about sacrifice, determination and the consequences of our actions, making the experience even richer and more memorable.
One of the most striking features of Shadow of the Colossus is its atmosphere. The game manages to create a feeling of isolation and melancholy that is rare in video games. The vast empty landscapes and absence of other human characters make each colossus feel even more monumental and significant. Music and sound effects add to this feeling, with tracks that range from melancholy to triumphant depending on the situation. This combination of elements creates an immersive experience that holds the player from start to finish.
For those who like to explore every detail, the game offers several secrets and Easter eggs hidden throughout the world. From hidden temples to fruits and lizards that increase Wander’s health and stamina, there’s plenty to discover if you’re willing to stray from the main path. These additional elements encourage exploration and reward curious players with improvements and new perspectives on the game world.
Shadow of the Colossus isn’t just a game; it is an emotional and artistic experience that leaves a lasting mark. It is a work that transcends the medium of video games and establishes itself as an important piece of pop culture. Wander’s journey and his fight against the colossi is a story about determination, love and sacrifice, told in a way few games can match. The visual beauty and emotional depth make this game an unmissable experience for any video game fan.
If you haven’t had a chance to play Shadow of the Colossus on PlayStation 4 yet, I highly recommend you do so as soon as possible.

33 – JOURNEY
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Journey.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Ah, this game is very charming; It’s one of those games with charm and magic, a true masterpiece on the PlayStation 4. If you haven’t played Journey yet, get ready to embark on a unique experience, which will take you to a world of emotions and discoveries. This game is simply incredible and it’s impossible not to fall in love with it. Let’s explore together what makes Journey one of the best games of all time!
Journey is one of those games that redefines what a video game can be. Developed by thatgamecompany and originally released for PlayStation 3 in 2012, the game received a remastered version for PlayStation 4 that made everything even more beautiful and immersive. Journey’s proposal is simple: you control a hooded figure in a vast desert, with the objective of reaching the top of a mountain that shines on the horizon. But make no mistake, despite it seeming like a simple concept, the game’s emotional depth and aesthetic beauty are something out of the ordinary.
The first thing that catches your attention in Journey are the graphics. The look is stunning, with an artistic style that mixes simplicity and sophistication. The sand dunes look almost real, with light and shadow effects that create an immersive and mesmerizing environment. With every step you take, the sand moves so realistically that it’s easy to get lost just admiring the scenery. And it’s not just the dunes that impress – the game’s ancient ruins and vast open spaces are equally incredible, every detail carefully designed to create a sense of grandeur and mystery.
But Journey isn’t just about looks. The soundtrack, composed by Austin Wintory, is a fundamental part of the experience. The songs are ethereal and emotional, perfectly adjusting to the rhythm of the game. From the soft, contemplative melodies as you glide across the dunes, to the powerful crescendos at the most tense moments, Journey’s music is a journey in itself. It not only complements the action on screen, but also amplifies the emotions you feel throughout the journey.
Journey’s gameplay is a mix of exploration and solving small puzzles. Your character can walk, jump and slide across the sand, as well as emit a song that interacts with the environment and other players. That’s right, in Journey you can meet other real players on your journey. The most interesting thing is that there are no names, chats or any form of traditional communication. The interaction is all done through sounds and movements, creating a unique and often exciting connection. Encountering another traveler in the vast desert can be an incredibly moving experience, especially when you work together to overcome obstacles and reach new locations.
The game is divided into several distinct areas, each with its own challenges and breathtaking landscapes. From dark and mysterious caves to ancient temples and snowfields, each new area brings a sense of discovery and wonder. The journey is linear, but offers a lot of freedom to explore and find hidden secrets. The simplicity of the controls and interface allows you to fully focus on the environment and experience without unnecessary distractions.
Journey’s narrative is told in a minimalist way and is open to interpretation. There are no dialogues or explanatory texts – everything is conveyed through images and music. This style of visual storytelling allows each player to have their own interpretation of the game’s story and events. For some, Journey may be a metaphor about life and death, for others, it may be a story of overcoming and personal growth. This openness to interpretation is one of the game’s greatest strengths, allowing it to resonate in different ways with each person who plays it.
Journey is also a relatively short game, being able to be completed in around two hours. But don’t be fooled by the length – the experience is so rich and deep that these two hours could be some of the most memorable you’ll have in a video game. Additionally, the game’s structure encourages multiple playthroughs, as each journey can be different depending on the people you meet and the paths you decide to follow.
Another striking aspect of Journey is the way it treats cooperation. Encounters with other players are completely random and without any form of verbal or written communication, which creates a sense of camaraderie based purely on action and mutual support. You can help each other recharge your jumping skills, guide you along the correct path, or simply enjoy each other’s company in silence. It is a pure and sincere form of cooperation, which often results in exciting and unforgettable moments.
Journey’s message is powerful and universal. It is a reflection on human connection, the beauty of discovery and the importance of perseverance. The game reminds us that even in our loneliest moments, we are not truly alone. There is always someone somewhere who shares our journey, our challenges and our victories. It’s a deeply touching experience, resonating far beyond the confines of the game.
In terms of its impact on the video game industry, Journey is a shining example of how a game can be an art form. It challenges traditional conventions of game design, focusing more on the emotional experience rather than action or technical challenges. Critical reception was overwhelmingly positive, with praise for its art direction, music, and narrative. The game has won numerous awards and continues to be cited as one of the best games of all time.
If you haven’t played Journey yet, you’re missing out on one of the most beautiful and exciting experiences a video game can offer. It’s a journey that every gamer must take, at least once, to understand the true potential of video games as a form of art and expression. So, grab your controller, put on your headphones, and get ready for an unforgettable journey across the golden dunes of Journey. You will not regret!
32 – ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Assassins-Creed-Valhalla.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is one of the most electrifying games in the franchise! Get ready for an unforgettable journey through the icy and stunning lands of Scandinavia, and the green and challenging lands of England, alongside one of the most iconic characters ever created by Ubisoft. Let’s explore all the details of this game that has won millions of fans around the world together!
In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you play Eivor, a fearless and charismatic Viking warrior, who can be either male or female, depending on your choice. Eivor is a natural leader, guiding his clan from Norway to the shores of England in search of new lands to colonize and prosper. The game is set in the late 9th century, a period filled with brutal battles, political intrigue and Norse mythology, offering a rich and immersive experience.
Right away, Valhalla’s setting is breathtaking. Ubisoft paid attention to the details, creating a vast and beautiful open world. Norway, with its snowy mountains, deep fjords and northern lights, contrasts with England, full of green fields, dense forests and medieval cities. Each region is unique and full of life, with diverse fauna and flora, interactive NPCs and an atmosphere that changes depending on the weather and the day-night cycle. Exploration is one of the game’s highlights, and you’ll often find yourself stopping to admire the landscape or take a screenshot to keep as a souvenir.
The gameplay evolves the already known formula of the series, but with additions that make all the difference. Combat is more visceral and brutal than ever, reflecting the fighting style of the Vikings. Eivor can wield a variety of weapons such as axes, swords, spears, and even shields, allowing for deadly combinations and unique combat styles. Eivor’s skills are also a show in themselves. Over time, you unlock special attacks and enhancements that make battles even more intense and strategic.
One of the biggest new features in Valhalla is the settlement system. Upon arriving in England, Eivor and his clan establish Ravensthorpe, a village that serves as their base of operations. You can expand and improve this village, building facilities such as a blacksmith, stable, barracks and even a party hall. Each building offers benefits and new quests, creating a sense of progress and belonging throughout the game. It’s rewarding to see Ravensthorpe grow and prosper, especially with the active participation of the clan members, who bring life and stories to the settlement.
The game’s narrative is engaging and full of twists and turns. Eivor is not only a warrior, but also a leader and diplomat. His decisions directly impact the course of the story and relationships with other characters and factions. The game explores themes such as loyalty, ambition, faith and identity, with surprising depth. The main missions are well-crafted and action-packed, while the side missions offer moments of humor, drama, and exploration. Additionally, the present-day events with Layla Hassan continue, adding an extra layer to the plot and connecting Valhalla to the larger Assassin’s Creed universe.
RPG elements are more present than ever. Eivor can be customized with a variety of equipment, tattoos, hairstyles, and mounts. The skill system is extensive, with a skill tree that allows you to shape Eivor according to your playstyle, whether focusing on melee combat, stealth, or ranged skills. Each choice has a significant impact on gameplay, encouraging experimentation and customization.
The series’ trademark exploration of tombs and ruins is back and more intriguing than ever. These activities are challenging and rewarding, with well-crafted puzzles and valuable treasures. Additionally, players can participate in typical Viking activities, such as drinking competitions, rhyming contests (yes, the Vikings loved a good battle of poetic insults) and even fishing. These activities add a layer of authenticity and fun to the game, making the world of Valhalla even more immersive.
One of the most impressive aspects of this Assassin’s Creed is the way it integrates Norse mythology into the narrative. Eivor frequently has visions and encounters with legendary figures such as Odin, Thor and Loki. These interactions are fascinating and add a mystical dimension to the game. The missions involving Norse mythology are some of the most memorable, with surreal settings and epic challenges.
The soundtrack is another very strong point of the game. The songs, composed by Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner and Einar Selvik, combine traditional Nordic elements with modern orchestration, creating an epic and emotional atmosphere. The songs sung by the bards in Ravensthorpe, the melodies that accompany battles, and the exploration music are all impeccable and elevate the game experience.
Valhalla’s graphics are truly spectacular. Ubisoft has done an incredible job of recreating 9th century Scandinavia and England. The attention to detail is impressive, from the texture of clothing and armor to the effects of light and shadow. The game runs smoothly on the PlayStation 4, but it’s on the PlayStation 5 that it really shines, with reduced loading times and even more detailed graphics.
If you haven’t embarked on this Viking adventure yet, don’t waste any more time! Grab your axe, ready your boat, and set sail for glory in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. You won’t regret exploring this fascinating world and facing the challenges it offers. Eivor and his clan are waiting for you to conquer England and leave your mark on history. Until next time, warriors!

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is an explosion of nostalgia and fun, bringing back the iconic marsupial that captured the hearts of gamers in the 90s.

The journey begins with Crash Bandicoot, where you must traverse tropical islands full of dangers, facing enemies and obstacles to rescue Crash’s girlfriend, Tawna, from the clutches of the evil Dr. Neo Cortex. Each level is a unique challenge, filled with treacherous platforms, boxes to smash, and Wumpa fruit to collect. Gameplay is fast and precise, requiring sharp reflexes and memorization of enemy patterns to progress. Remastered graphics make each setting shine with vibrant colors and stunning detail, breathing new life into the environments longtime fans know and love.
In Cortex Strikes Back, the adventure continues with an even more engaging and challenging story. Crash must once again face Dr. Cortex, who this time is in search of powerful crystals spread across the world. This game introduces new gameplay elements, such as the use of the jetpack and the possibility of riding a polar bear, adding variety and freshness to the experience. Levels are more complex and varied, from ice caves to rainforests, each with its own set of dangers and puzzles. The captivating soundtrack and enhanced sound effects increase immersion, making every moment even more exciting.
Warped takes Crash and his sister, Coco, on a journey through time to stop Dr. Cortex and his new ally, Uka Uka, from taking over the world. This game is a visual spectacle, with levels ranging from ancient Egypt to the Middle Ages, including futuristic scenarios. The gameplay is diverse, including running, diving and flying phases, in addition to the classic platform sessions. The introduction of special abilities, such as super spin and double jump, adds an extra layer of depth and strategy to the game. Each level is a new adventure, full of secrets to discover and challenges to overcome.
What really makes Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy stand out is the love and care put into the remaster. The developers have accurately recreated every detail, maintaining the essence of the original games while improving the experience to modern standards. The controls are more responsive, the graphics are beautifully rendered, and the little touches like Crash’s fluid animation and the details in the characters’ facial expressions show the commitment to delivering the best experience possible.
In addition to improved graphics and gameplay, the trilogy offers a number of new features that make the experience even more enjoyable. The save system has been modernized, allowing you to save progress at any time, something players of the original will certainly appreciate. There are also new game modes like Time Trial, which challenges you to complete levels in the shortest time possible, adding a significant replay factor. The inclusion of Coco as a playable character in all three games is a welcome addition, offering a new perspective and style of play.
Visually, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a feast for the eyes.

Players will need patience and precision to overcome the more difficult stages, but the feeling of achievement when finally mastering a level is immensely rewarding.

It captures the magic of the original games and presents it in a way that is accessible and enjoyable for new players and longtime fans alike. The combination of stunning graphics, refined gameplay and a ton of content ensures this game offers hours of fun and nostalgia.

Sane Trilogy is a must-have title for your PlayStation 4 collection. Get ready to spin, jump and smash boxes throughout three epic adventures that define the platforming genre at its best.

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Spider-Man-Miles-Morales.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)

Get ready to fly through the streets of New York with the grace and agility of Miles as he takes on the mantle of Spider-Man and faces new challenges, villains and personal discoveries. From the first moment you control Miles, it’s impossible not to be captured by the excitement and freedom that the game offers.
The story begins shortly after the events of the previous game, where Miles is trying to adjust to his new powers and responsibilities while Peter Parker takes a well-deserved vacation. Suddenly, Miles finds himself the chief defender of New York, a city that is far from at peace. Miles Morales’ narrative is deeply emotional, exploring themes of identity, responsibility and legacy. Miles is not just a new hero, but a young man trying to find his place in the world, balancing life as a student and a superhero.
The gameplay is where Spider-Man: Miles Morales really shines. The feeling of swinging through the skyscrapers of Manhattan is incredibly fluid and exhilarating. Miles possesses a unique set of abilities that set him apart from Peter Parker, including bioelectricity, which he can use to launch explosive Venom attacks, and the ability to camouflage, which makes him invisible to enemies. These powers not only make combat more dynamic and strategic, but also allow for new stealth approaches that are extremely satisfying to execute.
Combat in Miles Morales is fast, fluid and stylish. The game encourages you to combine melee attacks with Venom’s abilities, creating devastating combos that are as impactful as they are visually stunning.

New York City in Miles Morales is vibrant and alive, especially during the holiday season when snow covers the streets and Christmas lights decorate the buildings. Insomniac Games has done an incredible job of capturing the essence of the city, from the bustling neighborhoods of Harlem to iconic landmarks like Central Park and the Empire State Building. The attention to detail is impressive, making every stroll through the city a visually stunning and immersive experience.
The narrative is strengthened by a cast of captivating and well-developed characters. In addition to Miles, you’ll meet friends and family who play important roles in the story, like his mother Rio Morales, who is running for political office, and his best friend Ganke Lee, who helps him navigate the double life of a hero. The interactions between these characters are authentic and emotionally resonant, adding depth to Miles’ journey.
Visually, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a spectacle. The next-gen graphics on PlayStation 4 are stunning, with detailed textures, realistic lighting effects, and fluid animations that bring every aspect of the game to life. The cinematic sequences are particularly well done, with an almost film-worthy quality, immersing you even further into the story and the characters’ emotions.
The soundtrack is another highlight of the game. With a mix of orchestral music and urban rhythms, the music perfectly complements the game’s action and atmosphere. The energetic beats during battles and the softer melodies during moments of introspection create a listening experience that further enriches Miles’ journey.
In addition to the main campaign, Miles Morales offers a number of side activities that keep you engaged and exploring the city. From helping citizens in trouble to discovering villain hideouts and collecting special items, there’s always something new to do. These additional activities not only extend the fun, but also help build the world and story, offering a more complete look at Miles’ life as the new Spider-Man.
The progression and customization system is robust, allowing you to unlock and upgrade skills and outfits for Miles. Each outfit comes with its own unique benefits and looks, encouraging you to try out different combinations and find the style that best suits your approach to gameplay. Enhancements to Venom and camouflage abilities provide a sense of growth and power, making you truly feel like a hero on the rise.

Get ready to suit up, swing through the New York skies, and face challenges that will test your courage and skill. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an epic journey that captures the essence of what it means to be a hero and leaves you inspired every step of the way. Miles Morales isn’t just the new Spider-Man; He is a symbol of hope and resilience, ready to protect the city he loves and follow in his mentor’s footsteps with his own unmistakable brilliance.
29 – DOOM (2016)
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Doom.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
DOOM (2016) is the game that resurrected the FPS legend and showed everyone how to make an old school shooter today! This game is like taking all the violence of the 90s, giving it a bath of demon blood, mixing it with heavy metal and serving it all at 60 FPS of pure adrenaline!
So, here’s the deal: you are the DOOM Slayer, the toughest guy in the universe, waking up from an ancient sleep to do what you do best: slaughter demons! The story is simple and straightforward: a corporation decided to play God on Mars, opened a portal to hell, and now you have to clean up the mess. No long cutscenes or complex dialogues, it’s you, your high-tech armor and an insane arsenal against the hordes of hell!
DOOM gameplay is pure adrenaline from beginning to end! Forget about hiding behind cover and reloading all the time. Here the business is constant movement, shooting everywhere and brutal executions! The game encourages you to be aggressive at all times with the “glory kills” system. You leave the demon staggering and send it to a violent execution that, in addition to being an animal to watch, also gives you life and ammunition!
Speaking of arsenal, my partner, get ready to use some of the most satisfying weapons in gaming! There’s the classic shotgun that never disappoints, the plasma machine gun that melts demons, the rocket launcher that rains guts… and the legendary BFG-9000 that literally vaporizes everything on screen! Each weapon has upgrades and alternative modes that you unlock, so the trick is to experiment and find the perfect combination for your style of play.
Levels are designed to encourage exploration and fast movement. There are platforms, secret areas, and a bunch of collectibles scattered around that reward you for getting off the main path. And the fighting? Bro, these are arenas of pure destruction! You’re always surrounded by enemies, jumping from one side to another, changing weapons at lightning speed and sending demons back to hell!
The variety of enemies is another show in itself. From basic zombies to gigantic Barons of Hell, each demon has its own way of fighting and weaknesses to exploit. And once you get the hang of defeating one guy, the game throws you into an arena with several of them mixed together, forcing you to adapt your tactics on the fly!
Graphically, DOOM is a spectacle of gore and destruction. The Mars and Hell settings are detailed and atmospheric, but the real show is the demon models and death animations. Each glory kill is unique and brutally satisfying. And all of this runs smoothly, at a constant 60 FPS, ensuring that the action never stops!
The soundtrack, man… it’s out of this world! Mick Gordon has created a sound that is basically industrial metal with touches of electronics that blends perfectly with the action on screen. The songs are dynamic, becoming more intense as the battle heats up. There are times when you don’t even know if you’re more excited about the gunfight or the guitar riff!
A really cool thing about this game is how it balances the retro with the modern. There are Easter eggs and references to classic games scattered throughout, but the gameplay and visuals are completely updated for today’s player. It’s nostalgic and new at the same time!
The multiplayer mode is another great thing. It’s fast, brutal and full of crazy possibilities. You can even become a demon and hunt other players! And if you enjoy creating your own levels, SnapMap is a powerful tool that allows you to create personalized levels and share them with the community.
DOOM is not afraid to be a game. You know those modern FPS full of cinematics and “follow the NPC” moments? He forgets! This is non-stop action from start to finish. The game relies on your intelligence to understand the story through the environments and logs scattered around, without filling you with exposition.
One thing the game does very well is make you feel powerful without being easy. The enemies are aggressive and can kill you quickly if you hesitate, but you always have the tools to turn the tide. It’s that perfect balance of challenge and power that keeps you glued to the controls.
The upgrades and rune system adds an extra layer of customization. You can improve your armor, your weapons and gain special abilities that completely change your play style. Do you want to focus on mobility? It can be done. Prefer to tank more damage? It works too!
The game’s bosses are epic! These are true mountains of muscle and metal that will test everything you’ve learned. Each fight is unique and requires strategy, quick reflexes and good use of your arsenal.
And you know what’s craziest? Even after beating the game, you’ll want to go back and play again. There are time challenges in each phase, secrets to discover, and that desire to simply enter an arena and destroy some more demons just for the fun of it.
DOOM is one of those games that redefines a genre. It showed the world that single-player FPS still has a lot to offer and that sometimes, just sometimes, all we need is an excuse to go into a frenzy of demonic destruction to the sound of heavy metal.
So, guys, if you’re in the mood for a pure, no-frills first-person shooter experience that will make your heart beat faster and your fingers go numb from squeezing the trigger, DOOM is the way to go! Grab that controller, turn up the volume, and get ready to send a crowd to hell! The portals are open, the demons are arriving, and only you can stop Mars from turning into a hellish barbecue. Come on, Slayer! Rip and tear, until it’s done!
28 – RATCHET & CLANK
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Ratchet-Clank.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
One of the most insane and fun games the PlayStation 4 has ever seen: Ratchet & Clank! This game is simply out of this world, literally! You are a lombax called Ratchet, a kind of super cool alien cat, who teams up with a hilarious little robot called Clank. Together, these two will take you on an intergalactic adventure so crazy it will make your head spin!
The game is a remake of the PS2 classic, but man, what an upgrade! The graphics are jaw-dropping, everything shining and exploding in vivid colors that look like they came straight out of a Pixar film. Each planet you visit is unique, full of details and bizarre creatures that will make you laugh and scream with excitement at the same time.

There’s a weapon that turns enemies into sheep, disc launchers that ricochet like crazy, and even a device that creates miniature black holes! It’s like having an intergalactic toy store on your hands!
Gameplay is smoother than melted butter. You’ll jump, glide, use the OmniWrench (Ratchet’s multifunctional wrench) to break everything, and shoot like there’s no tomorrow. And believe me, you’ll really want to destroy everything, because the bolts (the game’s currency) fly everywhere when you break things!
The story is a perfect mix of action, comedy and even a few moral lessons. You will adventure across entire galaxies, facing the evil President Drek and his army of crazy robots. Along the way, you will meet hilarious characters, such as Captain Qwark, a pompous “hero” who is more clumsy than a real hero.
It does not stop there! The game is full of secrets, secondary challenges and mini-games that will keep you glued to the controller for hours. There are space races, arena battles, and even some puzzles that will make your brain spin!
The sound then, can’t even be said! The soundtrack is epic, putting you in the space adventure mood right away. The sound effects of guns and explosions will make you want to turn up the volume until the neighbors complain!
Ratchet & Clank on PS4 is not just a game, it is a complete experience that mixes nostalgia with innovation in a way that only Insomniac Games knows how to do. It’s the type of game that makes you laugh, moves you, and leaves you with that feeling of “just one more phase” until you realize that it’s already dawn!
If you enjoy action, humor, crazy weapons and a generous dose of alien destruction, this game is a must have in your collection. It’s guaranteed fun from start to finish, with plenty of replayability for you to spend hours exploring every corner of the planets.
So, guys, prepare your controls, clear up space on your hard drive, and embark on this intergalactic journey with Ratchet & Clank. I guarantee it will be one of the best trips you’ve ever taken without leaving the couch! It’s animal, it’s fun, it’s explosive, it’s Ratchet & Clank on PS4!
27 – DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Detroit-Become-Human.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
This game is simply on another level, mixing an engaging story with choices that will make your head explode! In this game, we are in 2038, in a futuristic Detroit where super advanced androids are part of everyday life. But what if these androids started to develop emotions and a will of their own? This is where things get crazy!
You will control three different characters, each with their own plot that intertwines in a script that is more tense than a thriller series! There’s Connor, an android detective who is hunting other rebellious androids; Kara, a domestic android who runs away to protect a girl; and Markus (who has the same name as me, author of this special article), who leads an android revolution. Each of them has their own journey, and man, the stories are so well written that you’ll find yourself rooting for the machines as if they were real people!
The game’s visuals are jaw-dropping! The graphics are so realistic that sometimes you forget that you are playing and not watching a movie. The characters’ facial expressions are so detailed that you can feel every emotion, every doubt, every moment of tension. The Detroit of the future is a spectacle in itself, with neons, flying cars and technology coming out of its pores.
But what really makes Detroit: Become Human shine are the choices. Man, every decision you make affects the story in ways you can’t even imagine! It’s like having a remote control over your life, you know? You can change the course of everything with a simple dialogue or action. And the best part: at the end of each chapter, you see a flowchart showing all the possible paths. It will make you want to play again just to see what happens if you choose differently!
The gameplay is a mix of exploration, quick time events and tension-filled dialogues. You’ll investigate crime scenes like a CSI from the future, escape dangerous situations by pressing buttons at the right time, and make decisions that can save or condemn characters you’ve grown to love.
And don’t think that you just have to choose between good and evil! The situations are full of nuances, putting you in moral dilemmas that will make you think long after the game is over. Like, what defines being human? Do Androids deserve rights? How far does the line between machine and living being go?
The soundtrack is another highlight, creating atmospheres of tension, emotion and adrenaline at the right moments. You’ll feel like you’re in a high-end sci-fi thriller!
The game also features some really cool mechanics, like being able to reconstruct crime scenes in your head, or analyzing probabilities of success before making a risky decision. It’s like being a super computer and a detective at the same time!
Detroit: Become Human is not just a game, it is an experience that makes you question what it means to be human, what is right and wrong, and how small actions can have huge consequences. You’ll laugh, cry, scream with frustration and jump with joy, sometimes all in one scene!
And the best of all? Replayability is endless! With so many different endings and paths to explore, you can play multiple times and always discover something new. It’s like having several games in one!
So guys, if you enjoy deep stories, breathtaking visuals, and games that make you think, Detroit: Become Human is a must-play! It’s one of those games that stays in your head for weeks after you finish it. Get ready to question reality, delve into ethical dilemmas and, who knows, develop empathy for machines. This game is more than entertainment, it is a reflection on the future of humanity packaged in one of the best experiences the PS4 can offer!

You are faced with the ultimate challenge of PlayStation 4: Dark Souls III! This game is like that tough teacher at school that everyone feared, but in the end you end up respecting the hell out of!
Dark Souls III is the grand finale of the trilogy that revolutionized action RPGs, and man, what an epic ending! FromSoftware didn’t mess around and delivered a game that will make you sweat, curse, break the controller (it doesn’t do that, okay?), but in the end, it will give you a feeling of achievement that few games can.
The setting is a dark and decadent world, full of Gothic ruins, imposing castles and desolate landscapes that will leave your jaw dropping. Each area is a maze of secrets, shortcuts and enemies ready to send you back to the nearest bonfire. And speaking of bonfires, they are your save and rest points – you will learn to love them like you have never loved a checkpoint before!
The story is told in a subtle way, through item descriptions, enigmatic dialogue and the environment itself. You are an “Ashen One,” a resurrected warrior on a mission to prevent the world from falling into eternal darkness. It seems simple, right? But nothing is simple in Dark Souls! You will come across lore so deep that you can do TCC about it!
Combat is the heart of the game, and boy is it brutal! Each enemy is a real threat, from the most basic zombie to the bosses that will make you cry with despair (and then with joy when you finally win). You need to learn attack patterns, manage your stamina and choose your weapons and equipment well. A mistake can be costly, but every victory is a celebration!
And the bosses? My God, the bosses! They are true works of art of sadistic game design. Each one is unique, with its own mechanics and designs that range from the grotesque to the majestic. Get ready to face dragons, corrupted knights, demons and creatures that look like they came straight out of your wildest nightmares.
The progression system is deep and rewarding. You earn souls (the game’s currency) by defeating enemies and can use them to level up, improve equipment or buy items. But be careful: if you die, you lose all the souls you were carrying. You can recover them by returning to the place of death, but if you die again before then… bye bye, souls!
Character customization is another high point. You can create incredible builds, from a heavily armored knight to an agile wizard casting devastating spells. Trying out different play styles is part of the fun and can completely change your experience.
Multiplayer adds another layer of complexity and excitement. You can summon other players to help you, invade other people’s worlds to duel or leave messages for people who come later. It’s a unique feeling of community, where everyone is together on this insane journey.
The soundtrack is chilling! The epic music during boss fights will make you even more tense and excited. The sound effects are impeccable, from the clanking of swords to the bloodcurdling screams of monsters.
Dark Souls III also brings back beloved elements from previous games, but with a new twist. You’ll find references and connections that will make fans of the series go crazy, but newcomers will also enjoy it a lot.
The level design is a show in itself. Everything is interconnected in brilliant ways, with shortcuts that you only discover after hours of exploring. Each new area you explore gives you that feeling of “wow, I finally got here!”
And don’t think it ends when the credits roll! New Game+ invites you to play again with stronger enemies and new items. Not to mention the DLCs that add areas, bosses and equipment that will challenge you even more.
Dark Souls III is more than a game, it’s a test of persistence, skill and nerves of steel. It’s frustrating? Sometimes. It is difficult? For sure. But each obstacle overcome, each boss defeated, each secret discovered gives you a satisfaction that few games can provide.
So, guys, if you’re looking for a real challenge, a story rich in mysteries and an experience that will last forever, Dark Souls III is the way to go. Get ready to die, learn and triumph in one of the most impactful and rewarding games the PS4 has to offer. Praise the Sun and let’s go on this epic adventure!
25 – NIER: AUTOMATA
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/NieR-Automata.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
This game is a true masterpiece that will blow your mind and stir your emotions in ways you never imagined! In NieR: Automata we are in the year 11945 AD (that’s right, it’s not like that!), and the Earth is dominated by alien machines. Humanity fled to the moon and now sends ultra-advanced androids to fight this crazy war. It is in this insane scenario that you will control 2B, an android warrior who looks like she came out of a steampunk anime, along with her partner 9S and other characters that you will meet throughout this epic journey.
The gameplay of NieR: Automata is delicious madness that mixes frenetic hack-and-slash, deep RPG elements, shoot ’em up moments and even parts that look like a 2D platformer! One minute you’re slashing giant robots with a huge sword, the next you’re piloting a flying mecha shooting at everything that moves. There’s so much variety that you never know what to expect in the next phase!
Combat is fluid, fast and stylish. You can customize your skills with chips that give crazy upgrades, like self-healing, automatic shooting or even a robot fisherman that fights for you (seriously, it has that!). The combinations are practically endless, allowing you to create a unique fighting style.
But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s just meaningless bullshit. The story of NieR: Automata has a philosophical depth that will leave you thinking for weeks after finishing the game. The script, written by the genius Yoko Taro, explores themes such as existentialism, the meaning of life and consciousness, and what really makes us human. You’ll find yourself questioning your own existence as you destroy hordes of robots!
And boy, the endings! It’s no exaggeration to say that NieR: Automata has one of the most innovative and impactful ending systems in gaming history. Without giving spoilers, know that you need to play multiple times to really understand everything that is happening. Each playthrough reveals new layers of the story, new characters and twists that will leave your jaw dropping.
The open world is a post-apocalyptic playground full of ruins, deserts and forests taken over by nature. Exploring every corner is rewarding, with side quests that range from the hilarious to the deeply moving. You might find a robot that wants to be a better parent or help a machine understand the concept of beauty. Each mission adds a new perspective to the main narrative.
The art direction is simply stunning. The game alternates between color palettes that range from monochromatic to extremely vibrant, creating environments that are both beautiful and melancholic. The character and enemy designs are unique, mixing science fiction elements with gothic touches and even a hint of high-tech fashion.
The soundtrack? My friend, prepare your ears for a transcendental experience! Composed by Keiichi Okabe, the music of NieR: Automata is a mix of orchestra, choir, rock and electronics that will give you goosebumps from head to toe. Each area has its own melody that adapts to the action on screen, creating an immersive atmosphere that pulls you into the game.
One of the craziest aspects of NieR: Automata is how it plays with video game conventions. There are moments when the game breaks the fourth wall in ways that will surprise you and make you question the very nature of electronic games. Not to mention the hidden minigames and Easter eggs that range from references to classic game design to inside jokes for the most hardcore fans.
The “Pods” system (small robots that accompany you) adds another layer of strategy and customization. You can equip different Pods with unique abilities, from devastating lasers to energy shields. Combining the Pods’ abilities with your fighting style creates practically endless gameplay possibilities.
And let’s not forget the auto-chip difficulty mode! If you’re finding the game too difficult, you can activate chips that play practically alone, allowing you to focus on the story. Or, if you like a challenge and want to feel the taste of defeat, you can deactivate all the chips and face your enemies in the most hardcore mode possible!
NieR: Automata also features unique online elements. You can find the bodies of other players who have died, decide whether to resurrect them to fight alongside you or loot them for rare items. It’s a genius way to create a sense of community even in a single-player game.
Ultimately, NieR: Automata is more than a game – it’s an experience that challenges your perceptions, questions your morality, and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster you’ll never forget. It’s one of those titles that elevate video games to the level of art, proving that the medium can be as profound and impactful as any book or film.
So, guys, if you’re ready for an adventure that goes far beyond just pushing buttons, that will make you laugh, cry and leave your mouth open, NieR: Automata is the game! Get ready for a journey that will redefine what you think about games, life and what it means to be human. It’s a masterpiece that every PS4 gamer needs to experience!
24 – DEATH STRANDING
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Death-Stranding.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Death Stranding is one of the most innovative and fascinating works by Hideo Kojima, a true video game genius. Developed by Kojima Productions and initially released for PlayStation 4 on November 8, 2019, this game takes us to explore empathy, solidarity and the reconstruction of a devastated world. Death Stranding isn’t just a game; is a unique experience that mixes suspense, horror, reflection and innovation in gameplay, creating a new genre called “Strand Game”.
The plot of Death Stranding is set in a post-apocalyptic future where the United States has been devastated by Death Stranding, a cataclysmic event that caused massive explosions, creating craters in the ground and fragmenting the nation. In this world, we find Sam Porter Bridges, played by the iconic Norman Reedus, who takes on the role of a delivery man with the mission of reconnecting isolated cities and rebuilding America. The game is an emotional and physical journey, where each delivery is a battle against time, climate and supernatural entities known as “EPs” (Beach Entities).
“EPs” are one of the most intriguing elements of the game. These entities, linked to an umbilical cord that connects them to beaches (alternative realities of our world), are responsible for causing obliterations when they come into contact with humans. Sam’s ability to sense the presence of these entities is fundamental to his survival, and this is where “BB” (Bridge Baby) comes in, a premature baby kept in a capsule that can detect the “EPs”, helping Sam in his dangerous journey.
Death Stranding’s gameplay is one of the most innovative aspects. Equipped with a device called an Odradek, Sam can scan the environment for cargo, vehicles, and safe terrain. Odradek also detects “EPs”, spinning frantically when they are nearby, which adds a layer of tension and strategy to the game. Additionally, weather plays a crucial role with Chiral Rain, which accelerates the aging of anything it touches, from cargo to humans, making delivering goods a race against time.
One of the most striking features of Death Stranding is the building and sharing system. Using the CQP (Chiral Bridge Creator), players can build structures such as bridges, shelters, and generators that other players can use on their journeys. This online collaboration system creates a sense of community and empathy, encouraging players to help each other in a devastated world.
Death Stranding’s narrative is deep and engaging, with complex and well-developed characters. In addition to Norman Reedus, the cast includes big names like Mads Mikkelsen and Léa Seydoux, who bring life and depth to their roles. The plot explores themes such as life, death, connection and sacrifice, making players reflect on their own actions and the impact they have on the world around them.
The soundtrack for Death Stranding, composed by Ludvig Forssell, is simply magnificent. The music, which includes tracks from the band Low Roar and Silent Poets, perfectly complements the game’s atmosphere, elevating players’ emotional experience. Each track is carefully chosen to suit the moment, whether during a solitary trek through desolate terrain or an intense battle against an “EP”.
Death Stranding’s graphics are breathtaking. The attention to detail is impressive, from the vast, desolate landscapes to the characters’ facial animations. The game’s setting is incredibly immersive, with an open world that invites players to explore every corner and discover its secrets. Dynamic weather changes and day-night cycle add an extra layer of realism to the game, making each journey unique.
Despite all its qualities, Death Stranding is not a game for everyone. Its contemplative nature and slower pace may not appeal to all players, especially those seeking constant action. However, for those willing to delve into its complex narrative and experience something truly unique, Death Stranding offers an unforgettable experience.
Death Stranding’s multiplayer is another innovation that deserves to be highlighted. Through the “Strand” system, players can interact indirectly, leaving items, buildings and messages to help each other. This form of collaboration creates a sense of community and empathy that is rare to find in other games. The feeling of seeing a structure built by another player at a critical moment is a rewarding experience that reinforces the game’s central message: the importance of connecting and helping each other.
In terms of performance, Death Stranding runs smoothly on PlayStation 4, with impressive graphics and reasonable loading times. The PlayStation 5 and PC version improves the experience even further, with improved graphics and almost non-existent loading times.
In short, Death Stranding is a masterpiece by Hideo Kojima that challenges the conventions of traditional games. With a deep narrative, innovative gameplay and a powerful message about empathy and connection, this game is a unique experience that should be experienced by all video game fans. If you’re looking for something different, that goes beyond superficial fun and offers an emotional and reflective journey, Death Stranding is the perfect game for you. Prepare to connect to a devastated world, help other players, and discover the true meaning of reconnecting a fractured nation.

23 – MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Monster-Hunter-World.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Prepare your weapons and sharpen your skills because Monster Hunter: World is the game that turned hunting giant monsters into a global addiction! Imagine an immense world, full of diverse ecosystems, where colossal and bizarre creatures reign supreme. Now imagine that you are an ultra-skilled hunter, equipped with weapons bigger than you and an epic mission to explore, study and, of course, hunt these absurd monsters. Welcome to the New World of Monster Hunter: World!
The game starts with you creating your character in one of the most detailed creators you’ve ever seen. Do you want to be a cool guy? A stylish girl? An old man with few friends? Everything is possible! And it doesn’t stop there: you can also customize your Palico, a warrior kitten who is your faithful partner on hunts. Yes, you read that right, a WARRIOR CAT!
After creating your dream hunter, you are thrown into a breathtaking open world. Each area is a gigantic playground teeming with life, from lush forests to scorching deserts and toxic swamps. And all of this is populated by complex ecosystems where monsters interact with each other, hunt, sleep and fight for survival. It’s like a National Geographic documentary, except you’re in the middle of the action!
But let’s talk about the main thing: the hunts! My friend, get ready to face some of the most epic bosses in gaming history. There’s Anjanath, a pumped-up T-Rex that breathes fire; the Nergigante, a thorny dragon that looks like it came out of your wildest nightmares; and the Kushala Daora, a metal dragon that controls storms! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Each monster is unique, with its own behaviors, weaknesses and special moves that you need to learn to stand a chance.
Combat is the soul of Monster Hunter: World, and boy is it addictive! You have 14 different types of weapons to choose from, from an agile Longsword to a heavy Hammer that makes the ground shake. Each weapon has its own play style, complex combos and unique mechanics. Mastering a weapon is almost a game in itself, and switching between them completely renews your experience.
But don’t think that you just have to arrive and leave! Strategy is crucial. You need to study the monsters, prepare traps, create potions and foods that give you special buffs, and even use the environment to your advantage. Want to drop a boulder on the monster’s head? Can! Do you want to lure him to an area with vines so you can climb and jump on his back? Bring it on!
And the best part? You can do all of this with up to three friends in online co-op! Assembling a squad and going on the hunt is one of the most fun multiplayer experiences you’ll ever have. Each player can take on a different role: one attracts the monster’s attention, another cuts its tail, another breaks its horns… Coordination is key, and when everything goes right, the feeling of victory is indescribable!
Once you defeat a monster, the fun continues! You use the materials you’ve collected to create new weapons and armor, each with a unique look and special abilities. Do you want armor that makes you immune to fire? Or one that increases your affinity with critics? The crafting system is so in-depth that you can spend hours just planning your next set!
The game never stops surprising you. In addition to the main missions, there are tons of sidequests, free expeditions to explore and collect resources, and even an arena to test your skills against monsters in special conditions. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, BAM! A new monster appears in a free update to renew the challenge!
The soundtrack is another high point, with epic themes that change as the hunt evolves. When that intense battle music starts playing, your heart races immediately!
The graphics are jaw-dropping, especially the monsters. Every scale, fur, or feather is detailed, and the animations are so realistic that you can almost feel the impact when a Rathalos lands in front of you roaring.
Monster Hunter: World also innovated the series by making everything more accessible to newcomers, without losing the depth that veterans love. It has well-explained tutorials, a tips system during missions, and a difficulty curve that gradually prepares you for greater challenges.
And we can’t forget the constant updates! Capcom doesn’t mess around with services and is always adding new monsters, special events and even collaborations with other franchises. Have you ever thought about hunting dressed as Geralt of Rivia, from The Witcher? Or fight a Behemoth from Final Fantasy? Anything is possible in the world of Monster Hunter!
The endgame is where things get really intense. Tempered Investigations feature super difficult versions of monsters, and Arch-Tempered missions are the ultimate challenge for even the most experienced hunter. And with the Iceborne expansion (which is practically a new game), the journey extends with a new frozen area, new monsters and a Master Rank difficulty level that will test your limits!
At the end of the day, Monster Hunter: World is more than a game, it’s a lifestyle! It’s one of those titles that you start playing and, before you know it, 500 hours have already passed and you still have things to do and monsters to hunt. It’s addictive, rewarding and always surprising.
So, hunters, if you’re ready for an epic adventure that mixes action, strategy, deep customization and top-notch online cooperation, Monster Hunter: World is the perfect game! Prepare your potions, sharpen your weapons and embark on this insane journey through the New World. The hunt begins now, and remember: in nature, you are not at the top of the food chain… until you prove otherwise!
22 – SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Sekiro-Shadows-Die-Twice.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Are you ready to take on Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, one of the most absurdly insane and addictive challenges the PS4 has ever seen! This game from FromSoftware, the same guys who created Dark Souls, is a mind-boggling trip to feudal Japan that will test your reflexes, your patience and your sanity!
Come on, you’re Lobo, a badass shinobi with a prosthetic arm full of tricks up your sleeve (literally!). Your mission? Protect your young master from the evil forces that want to use his blood to gain immortality. It seems simple, right? But, my friend, get ready to sweat like never before!
The world of Sekiro is a dark, mythical Japan, full of imposing castles, mysterious forests and ancient temples. Each area is a vertical maze full of secrets, shortcuts and enemies ready to send you to another world. And boy, what enemies! From skilled samurai to giant monsters and supernatural creatures, each encounter is a test of skill and strategy.
But the real star of the show is the combat system. Forget about rolling around and taking a swing every now and then. In Sekiro, the name of the game is stance. You need to dodge, parry and counterattack with pinpoint precision to break the enemy’s posture and deliver the final blow. It’s like a deadly dance where one mistake can cost you your life. And believe me, you will die. Very. But every death is a lesson, and rising from the ashes to try again has never been so satisfying!
Lobo’s prosthetic arm is practically a Swiss ninja army knife. You can equip different tools, from a shuriken launcher to an umbrella that protects you from attacks. Combining these tools with your sword skills creates endless gameplay possibilities. Want to pull an enemy close with your hook and then set them on fire? Can! How about using a cloud of smoke to become invisible and carry out that deadly sneak attack? Bring it on!
And the bosses? My God, the bosses! Each is a masterpiece of design and challenge. There’s Gyoubu Oniwa, a general riding a giant horse who will make you swallow dust; the Butterfly Lady, a deadly illusionist who plays with your mind; and the fearsome Monkey Guardian, a giant ape who… well, you’d better find out for yourself. Each boss fight is an epic experience that will leave you with your heart in your mouth and your hands sweaty at the controls.
But Sekiro isn’t just shit. The story is told in a subtle and mysterious way, typical of FromSoftware. You gradually uncover the secrets of the world, through enigmatic dialogues, item descriptions and the environment itself. Japanese mythology mixes with supernatural elements creating a unique and fascinating universe.
The progression system is another highlight. As you defeat enemies and bosses, you gain experience to unlock new skills in talent trees. Do you want to specialize in counterattack techniques? Or would you rather improve your stealth skills? The choice is yours, and trying out different builds adds tons of replayability.
The art direction is simply stunning. Feudal Japan has never seemed so alive and yet so dark. The settings are full of detail, from battlefields covered in autumn leaves to ornate castle interiors. What about the character and monster designs? My friend, get ready to see some of the most bizarre and impressive creatures to ever appear in a video game.
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. Mixing traditional Japanese instruments with epic orchestral arrangements, Sekiro’s music creates a unique atmosphere that transports you straight to feudal Japan. The boss fight music is especially intense, further increasing the adrenaline of these deadly encounters.
One of the most innovative aspects of Sekiro is the resurrection system. Unlike other FromSoftware games, here you have the chance to come back to life immediately after dying. This adds an extra layer of strategy: sometimes it’s better to play dead to catch the enemy by surprise!
The level design is another strong point. Everything is interconnected in brilliant ways, with shortcuts that you only discover after hours of exploring. Using your grappling hook to hang from trees, rooftops, and statues adds incredible verticality to exploration. You really feel like an agile ninja jumping from rooftop to rooftop!
And don’t think it ends when you finish the game for the first time. Sekiro has multiple endings based on your choices throughout the journey. Not to mention the New Game+ mode that increases the difficulty even further for those who want an extra challenge (as if it weren’t already difficult enough, right?).
One thing Sekiro does brilliantly is teach you through gameplay. There is no boring tutorial explaining everything in the smallest details. You learn by doing, dying and trying again. It’s frustrating? Sometimes. But the feeling of finally overcoming a challenge that seemed impossible is indescribable.
Ultimately, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is more than a game, it’s a test of persistence, skill and nerves of steel. It’s one of those titles that makes you curse the controller, the TV and probably your ancestors, but that also gives you a sense of accomplishment that few games can.
So, ninjas on duty, if you’re ready for a real challenge, for an adventure that will test your limits and transport you to a feudal Japan full of dangers and wonders, Sekiro is the way to go! Get ready to die, learn and triumph in one of the most impactful and rewarding games the PS4 has to offer. The One-Armed Wolf’s journey begins now, and remember: hesitation is defeat!
21 – RESIDENT EVIL 2 REMAKE
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/01/Resident-Evil-2-Remake.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Resident Evil 2 Remake is a true masterpiece of survival horror, which manages to revitalize a 90s classic and elevate the experience to a new level of terror, tension and immersion. From the moment you set foot in the dark and decaying Raccoon City, you are sucked into a nightmare where every dark corridor, every groaning zombie and every challenging puzzle keeps you on the edge of your seat, eager to find out what comes next.
The story begins with two iconic protagonists: Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie police officer on his first day on the job, and Claire Redfield, a young woman determined to find her missing brother, Chris. The game lets you choose between Leon and Claire, each with their own distinct campaign that intertwines brilliantly, offering different perspectives on the same events. The narrative is engaging, full of twists and moments of pure adrenaline, keeping you completely invested in these characters’ fight for survival.
Resident Evil 2 Remake’s graphics are absolutely stunning, thanks to Capcom’s RE Engine. Attention to detail is meticulous, with richly detailed environments that create an atmosphere of palpable terror. The Raccoon City Police Department (RPD) is an iconic location recreated with an impressive level of realism, from the antique furniture and leaking ceilings to the dark, forbidding hallways. Light and shadow effects are used masterfully, increasing tension and suspense at every turn.
Sound design is another aspect that elevates the Resident Evil 2 Remake experience. Every zombie groan, every footstep echoing in the empty hallways, and every distant sound of imminent danger contributes to an atmosphere of constant fear. The soundtrack is subtle but effective, complementing the moments of horror and action without ever taking the focus off the immersive experience. Sound effects, from the sound of gunfire to the visceral impact of melee attacks, are incredibly realistic and add to the immersion in the game world.
Resident Evil 2 Remake’s gameplay is a perfect balance between classic and modern. The over-the-shoulder camera perspective provides a more precise and immediate sense of control, while maintaining the tension of not knowing what’s around you. Combat is tense and challenging, with scarcity of ammunition and resources forcing you to think strategically and choose carefully when to fight or flee. Each zombie is a significant threat, capable of absorbing a surprising amount of damage before finally falling, and the more formidable enemies, like the relentless Mr. X, ensure you never feel completely safe.
Classic puzzles are back, challenging your mind as you navigate the intricate environments of the RPD and beyond. These puzzles are expertly designed, offering a perfect balance between challenge and satisfaction, and often require careful exploration of the environment to find clues and necessary items. The combination of intense combat and puzzle solving creates a pace of play that is both exhilarating and immersive.
Resident Evil 2 Remake also features a number of extra modes and additional content that increases longevity and replay value. “The 4th Survivor” mode puts you in control of Hunk, a mysterious special forces agent, in a race against time to escape the zombie-infested city. “The Tofu Survivor” mode offers a more fun and challenging approach, where you play as a huge block of tofu, armed only with knives. These extra modes are a welcome addition, offering additional challenges for dedicated players.
Visually, Resident Evil 2 Remake is a spectacle. Character models are incredibly detailed and expressive, bringing new life to Leon, Claire and other iconic characters. The animations are fluid and realistic, making each movement, attack and reaction more impactful. The gore effects are intense and graphic, reflecting the brutality of the world in which the characters are immersed.
The narrative is deeply engaging, with strong writing and convincing voice performances that bring the characters and their stories to life. The interactions between Leon and Claire, as well as their encounters with other survivors, are emotionally charged and add to the impact of the story. The game isn’t afraid to explore dark themes and moments of genuine horror, keeping you invested and often on the edge of your seat.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is more than just a remake; is a complete reimagining that respects the source material while updating and enhancing the experience for a new generation. It’s a game that captures the essence of survival horror, combining tense combat, challenging puzzle solving, and an unbearable horror atmosphere into one cohesive, impressive package. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or a newcomer looking for an intense and memorable gaming experience, Resident Evil 2 Remake is a must-have title for your PlayStation 4 collection.
Get ready to face your fears, solve complex puzzles and fight for survival in one of the most acclaimed and well-executed horror games of the last decade. Resident Evil 2 Remake not only redefines what a remake can be, but also sets a new standard for the survival horror genre.

Battles against machines, which range from small robots to huge mechanical creatures, are intense and strategic, requiring players to think quickly and use the environment to their advantage.
One of the big news in Horizon Forbidden West is the introduction of new traversal mechanics. Aloy can now swim and explore underwater environments, offering a new dimension of exploration.

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Elden-Ring.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Elden Ring (released February 2022) is a true masterpiece for PlayStation 4 that immerses players in a vast and mysterious world created by the genius mind of FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki in collaboration with acclaimed author George RR Martin .

The world of Elden Ring is impressive in its scale and diversity. From vast plains and shadowy forests to treacherous swamps and majestic castles, each location is richly detailed and full of life. Exploration is encouraged, with countless secret areas, side quests, and secrets waiting to be discovered. The freedom to explore this world in a non-linear way provides an unparalleled sense of adventure, allowing you to choose your own path and discover new challenges at every turn.
Elden Ring’s gameplay is an evolution of the tense, strategic combat ForSoftware is known for. The combats are intense and require precision, patience and skill. You can customize your character with a wide range of weapons, armor and magical abilities, adapting your play style to your preferences. Boss battles are one of the game’s highlights, each offering unique and rewarding challenges that will test your limits.
One of Elden Ring’s biggest innovations is the introduction of mounts and mounted combat. You can ride great distances, making exploration easier and allowing for dynamic combat strategies.

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/God-of-War-Ragnarok-11.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
God of War Ragnarök is an epic experience that elevates the legendary franchise to new heights, delivering a powerful narrative, stunning graphics and refined gameplay. Being the ninth title in the saga, this game marks the grand conclusion of the Norse saga of Kratos and Atreus. Since its release, the game has become a smash hit, selling more than 5.1 million copies in just five days, breaking records and winning the hearts of fans.
The plot of God of War Ragnarök continues directly where the 2018 game left off. Kratos and Atreus prepare to face the greatest event in Norse mythology, Ragnarök. The game begins in a harsh winter, known as Fimbulwinter, which precedes the end of the Norse world. Kratos, now wiser and more serene, seeks to pass on his knowledge and experience to his son, Atreus, who is more mature and eager for answers about his origin and the meaning of the name “Loki”.
The narrative is rich and engaging, exploring the complex relationship between father and son. Kratos tries to prepare Atreus for the challenges that lie ahead, while Atreus searches for his own identity and understanding of the prophecies that surround him. The story is full of exciting twists and moments of introspection, providing a deep and meaningful experience.
One of the game’s biggest innovations is its seamless camera, providing a cinematic immersion that makes you feel like you’re part of the action at all times. This “sequel” was introduced in the 2018 game and continues to be acclaimed by critics and fans. The lack of camera cuts creates a continuous sense of involvement, making each moment more impactful.
The graphics in God of War Ragnarök are simply spectacular. The Raccoon City Police Department (RPD) is an iconic location recreated with an impressive level of realism, from the antique furniture and leaking ceilings to the dark, forbidding hallways. Light and shadow effects are used masterfully, increasing tension and suspense at every turn. Each realm that Kratos and Atreus visit is richly detailed, with vibrant and diverse fauna and flora. Realistic lighting and character facial expressions add an extra layer of emotion and realism, making every interaction memorable.
God of War Ragnarök’s gameplay is an evolution of its predecessor, maintaining the visceral and tactical combat that fans love, but introducing new mechanics and exploration elements. Kratos can use his Blades of Chaos to move vertically across the stage, climbing and jumping between platforms, which adds a new dimension to exploration. Combat is dynamic and satisfying, with the possibility of combining attacks with the Leviathan Ax and the Blades of Chaos, as well as using the scenery to your advantage, such as rocks and tree trunks to crush enemies.
Atreus also plays a crucial role in combat and puzzle solving. He has sonic and runic arrows that are essential for opening chests, solving puzzles and defeating enemies. Your runic summons add an extra layer of strategy to combat, allowing you to summon powerful animals to aid in fights.
The world of God of War Ragnarök is vast and full of secrets to discover. Players are encouraged to explore every corner of the map, where they will find side quests, hidden chests, and secret bosses known as the “Berserk King.” These additional missions and activities provide a sense of ongoing, rewarding progression, keeping the gameplay experience fresh and engaging.
God of War Ragnarök’s bosses are truly epic, each offering a unique and memorable challenge. Fights against these enemies are intense and visually stunning, with intimidating designs and original combat mechanics. Defeating these bosses is not only rewarding, but also essential to obtain valuable resources to improve your weapons and armor.
God of War Ragnarök’s soundtrack and sound effects are impeccable, perfectly complementing the game’s atmosphere. The songs range from epic and intense during battles to softer and more melancholy melodies during moments of exploration and introspection. The dubbing, especially Kratos’ voice, played by Ricardo Juarez in the Brazilian version, is phenomenal, conveying all the emotions and complexities of the characters in a convincing and engaging way.
Despite some minor technical issues such as bugs and rendering issues on PlayStation 4, the game’s performance is solid and the overall experience is extremely positive. The developers have done an incredible job of optimizing the game for different platforms, ensuring that all players can enjoy Kratos and Atreus’ epic journey.
God of War Ragnarök is an essential title for any fan of action and adventure games. It combines an immersive narrative, stunning graphics and refined gameplay to create an unforgettable experience. This game not only ends the Norse saga of Kratos and Atreus in epic fashion, but also sets a new standard for the genre. Get ready for an exciting and challenging journey that will remain in players’ memories for a long time.
17 – FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Final-Fantasy-VII-Remake.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Final Fantasy VII Remake is like a time machine that takes an absolute RPG classic and transforms it into a modern experience that will blow your mind! If you played the original back in 1997, get ready to relive those emotions in high definition. If it’s your first time in Midgar, man, you’re about to enter one of the richest and most immersive universes in gaming!
The story begins with Cloud Strife, a tough ex-SOLDIER who now works as a mercenary. He joins the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE to fight Shinra, an evil mega corporation that is sucking the planet’s vital energy to generate electricity. It seems simple, right? But, my friend, this is just the tip of the iceberg!
What starts as a sabotage mission soon turns into an epic journey full of conspiracies, secrets from the past and threats that could destroy the entire world. And the best? The Remake expands A LOT on the original story, deepening characters, adding new plots and even changing some events in a way that will surprise even the most hardcore fans!
Speaking of characters, my God, what a cast! There’s Tifa, an incredible fighter who is Cloud’s best childhood friend; Barret, AVALANCHE’s hardline leader with a machine gun arm; Aerith, a mysterious flower girl with ancient powers; and a bunch of memorable figures that you’ll either love or hate (sometimes both at the same time).
The game’s visuals are jaw-dropping! Midgar has never felt so alive and detailed. You’ll get lost exploring the dirty alleys of the slums, the lively bars of Sector 7 and the towering skyscrapers of the plate. Each area has its own personality, and the character designs are so detailed that you can see every expression, every drop of sweat in tense scenes.
But let’s talk about the combat, because that’s where Final Fantasy VII Remake really shines! Forget that shift stop from the original. Here the action is in real time, fluid and frantic like a hack’n’slash, but with all the strategic depth of a traditional RPG. You directly control a character, dodging, attacking and using skills, while giving orders to other group members.
The ATB (Active Time Battle) system has been reinvented ingeniously. As you attack, a bar fills up. When it is full, you can pause the action to use spells, items or special abilities. It’s a perfect balance between intense action and strategic planning.
Each playable character has their own fighting style. Cloud is versatile with his giant sword, Tifa is a melee combo machine, Barret shoots from afar, and Aerith has mastered magic. Switching between them mid-battle and combining their skills is not only necessary, but addictive as well!
And the invocations? My friend, get ready for breathtaking scenes! Classic summons like Ifrit, Shiva and Leviathan appear in battle as gigantic entities that fight at your side for a limited time. It’s chilling when you call one of these and see the epic scale destruction they cause!
The customization system is deep and rewarding. You equip materials (like magical spheres) on your weapons and armor to gain new skills and spells. Do you want to transform Tifa into a powerful magician? Or make Cloud focus on healing? Anything is possible, and trying out different builds adds tons of replayability.
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. Classic songs have been reorchestrated in an epic way, mixing nostalgia with modern arrangements that will give you goosebumps from head to toe. From the opening theme to the battle tunes, each track is a masterpiece that takes the experience to another level.
One of the coolest aspects of the Remake is how it expands on areas and events that were very short in the original. Remember that quick mission at the Mako reactor? Now it’s a Hollywood-worthy action sequence! Wall Market, which was just a few screens, became an entire neighborhood full of life, sidequests and crazy minigames (including that iconic scene with Cloud dressed as a woman, which is even more hilarious and elaborate).
Speaking of sidequests, there are a lot of them spread across Midgar. From monster hunting missions to helping villagers with everyday problems, these extra activities not only provide cool rewards, but also deepen the world and characters in surprising ways.
The game also adds new villains and expands the roles of some old ones. The Turks, for example, who were somewhat supporting characters in the original, are now recurring antagonists with well-developed personalities. And let’s not even talk about Whispers, some mysterious entities that appear at key moments in history and will leave your head spinning!
One of the highlights are the boss fights. My God, what epic battles! Each one is like a moving puzzle, where you need to discover patterns, exploit weaknesses and use the environment to your advantage. The fight against Air Buster, for example, is a breathtaking sequence that makes the original version look like child’s play.
And don’t think that the game is just nostalgia! Even those who have never played the original will love the story, the charismatic characters and the addictive combat. The Remake manages the miracle of pleasing old fans and, at the same time, being a completely new and exciting experience.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is more than a game, it’s a love letter to fans and a courageous reinvention of a classic. It’s one of those titles that makes you laugh, cry and leave your mouth open with the plot twists and jaw-dropping action scenes.
So, guys, if you’re ready for an epic adventure that mixes frantic action, a deep and exciting story, and a world so rich that you’ll want to live in it, Final Fantasy VII Remake is the way to go! Get ready to save the planet, face Shinra and discover the mysteries of Cloud’s past in one of the most memorable experiences the PS4 has to offer. The journey in Midgar begins now, and remember: no matter the past, it’s the future you create that counts!
16 – PERSONA 5 ROYAL
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Persona-5-Royal.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Dude, prepare your heart because we’re going to talk about Persona 5 Royal, the RPG that arrived on PS4 to show how to make a really stylish game! This game is like taking all the charm of Japan, mixing it with a story about phantom thieves, seasoning it with an animal combat system and serving it all with a soundtrack that sticks in your head!
Persona 5 Royal puts you in the shoes of a student transferred to Tokyo after getting into trouble. But, bro, this is just the beginning! Soon you discover that you have the power to enter people’s distorted minds, the so-called Palaces, and change the hearts of corrupt adults. Hence the Phantom Thieves, a group of students with superpowers ready to do justice in their own way!
The game’s visuals are simply out of this world! Every screen, every menu, every animation is a slap in the face because it’s so stylish. The red and black color palette gives the game a unique tone, and the battle animations are so fluid that you’ll want to pause just to admire them. Even the menus are works of art! Seriously, you’ve never seen such a cool interface in a game.
Now, let’s talk about gameplay because that’s where Persona 5 Royal really shines. The game is divided into two parts: school life and adventures in the Palaces. During the day, you lead the life of a normal student. Go to class, answer teachers’ questions (and earn stats for it!), do odd jobs to earn a little money and, most importantly, strengthen your bonds with other characters.
These bonds, called Confidants, are a crucial part of the game. Each character you meet has their own story, their own problems, and spending time with them not only develops the plot, but also gives you advantages in battle. It’s like making friends, but each friendship makes you stronger!
At night and on weekends, it’s time to invade the Palaces! These dungeons are the physical manifestation of the villains’ twisted desires, and boy, are they amazing! Each Palace is unique, with themed puzzles, enemies and bosses. You’ll explore everything from a lush castle to a giant bank, and each one is more impressive than the last.
The battles are turn-based, but forget about that slow and boring parade. Persona 5 Royal makes every fight feel like a choreographed dance. You attack, pass the baton to the next character, chain combos… it’s all so fluid and satisfying that you barely see time pass. What about when you hit the enemy’s weakness? Bro, there’s no better feeling than seeing your entire team falling over the poor guy!
Speaking of Personas, they are the heart of the battle system. They are manifestations of your inner power, based on mythological and legendary figures. You can collect, fuse and strengthen dozens of different Personas, each with their own abilities. It’s like Pokémon, but darker and more stylish!
The story of Persona 5 Royal is breathtaking. It starts as an adventure of teenage heroes, but becomes increasingly deeper and more complex. The game is not afraid to tackle heavy themes like abuse of power, corruption, and the problems of modern society. You’ll find yourself reflecting on philosophical questions as you try to unravel a conspiracy that goes far beyond what you imagine.
The characters are another high point. Each member of the Phantom Thieves has their own history, personality and reasons for fighting. There’s Makoto, the exemplary student with a rebellious side; Ryuji, his troublemaker but good-hearted best friend; Ann, a model who fights against abuse in the fashion industry; Yusuke, eccentric artist in search of true beauty… and that’s just the beginning! You’ll get so attached to these people that you’ll be sad when the game ends.
The soundtrack, my friend, is from another planet! Shoji Meguro did very well with the compositions. “Last Surprise,” the regular battle song, will stick in his head for months. And it’s not just the music, the sound effects are incredible too. Every attack, every movement has a satisfying sound that makes you feel the impact.
Persona 5 Royal is the expanded and improved version of the original Persona 5, and man, they did it! There’s an entire semester more of story, new Confidants, new areas to explore, and even a new ending that deepens the plot even further. If you’ve already played the original, it’s definitely worth playing Royal to see all the new content.
One of the best aspects of the game is how it mixes the supernatural with the mundane. One moment you’re fighting bizarre monsters in a cognitive world, the next you’re worried about studying for the test or finding a date. This mix of fantasy and reality is what makes Persona 5 Royal so unique and captivating.
Time management is crucial in the game. Every day is precious, and you have to decide how you will use your free time. Will you strengthen a bond with a Confidant? Are you going to explore a Palace? Or are you going to work to earn money and buy better equipment? Every choice matters, and this gives the game incredible strategic depth.
The minigames and secondary activities are another show in themselves. You can play darts, pool, go undercover, fish… there are so many things to do in Tokyo that you’ll never get bored. And the best thing is that each activity gives you some benefit for the rest of the game.
Persona 5 Royal also brings back the beloved Velvet Room, where you can fuse Personas to create more powerful ones. It’s a complex and rewarding system that makes you want to collect and try out every possible combination.
The game addresses mature themes in a way that few can. It talks about abuse, corruption, social expectations and the pressure on young people in a way that makes you think, but without ever losing its fun and adventurous tone.
And you know what’s craziest? Even after 100 hours of play (yes, it’s a long game), you’ll still want more. There is so much content, so many secrets to discover, so many stories to explore that it makes you want to start all over again as soon as it ends.
So, guys, if you enjoy RPGs, deep stories, unforgettable characters, and a visual style that looks like art in motion, Persona 5 Royal is the game for you! It’s a unique experience that mixes the best of Japanese RPGs with a mature and relevant narrative for today. Grab that controller, put on your Phantom Thief mask and get ready to steal some hearts! Tokyo is waiting, and there are a lot of corrupt adults who need a lesson. The show is about to start, and you won’t want to miss it for anything in the world! Wake up, get up, get out there!

14 – FINAL FANTASY IX
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Final-Fantasy-IX.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Get ready for an epic journey into the world of Final Fantasy IX! This PS1 classic got a remastered version for PS4 which is pure gold, my friends! It’s the kind of game that reminds you why you fell in love with RPGs in the first place.
Final Fantasy IX is like going back to the roots of the series, you know? After FF VII and VIII went more futuristic, FFIX brings back that fantastic medieval vibe that made the franchise popular. And boy, what an amazing world they created! You will get lost on the continent of Gaia, a place full of magical kingdoms, floating cities and mysterious dungeons.
The story begins with Zidane, our rogue and charismatic protagonist, planning to kidnap Princess Garnet during a play. But then things get out of control, and boom! You find yourself in the middle of an epic adventure to save the world. The plot is full of twists, exciting moments and unforgettable characters. You will laugh, cry and be left with your jaw on the floor several times along this journey!
Speaking of characters, man, what an amazing cast! In addition to Zidane and Garnet, you have Vivi, the little black wizard who will melt your heart; Steiner, the stubborn but loyal knight; Freya, the dragoon spearwoman with a mysterious past; Quina, the food-obsessed chef Qu; Eiko, the super charismatic little summoner; and Amarant, the tough bounty hunter. Each has its own story, unique personality and development throughout the game. You will get too attached to these people!
The battle system is classic Final Fantasy in the best style. Turn-based combat, with that ATB bar you already know and love. But FFIX brings back the well-defined class system. Each character has their specific role and unique abilities. Zidane is the quick thief, Vivi destroys everything with dark magic, Garnet heals and summons eidolons… it’s great to see the team working together!
Speaking of skills, the learning system is brilliant. Your weapons and equipment have built-in abilities that you learn by using. Then you’re left with: “Hey, should I switch to this stronger weapon or stick with this weaker one until I learn the skill?” It gives a really cool strategic touch to the game.
The graphics, man… at the time of the PS1 they were already incredible, now they are! The remastered version made everything sharper and more beautiful, but maintained that unique charm of the “chibi” characters in beautiful pre-rendered settings. The cities are full of details, the dungeons are atmospheric as hell, and the CG scenes? My friend, prepare to drool!
Nobuo Uematsu’s soundtrack is among the best in the series, and that’s saying a lot! Each song perfectly matches the moment in the game. “Melodies of Life” will stick in your head for weeks, and the battle music gives you goosebumps every time it starts playing.
A huge deal in FFIX are sidequests and minigames. There’s the Chocobo hunt, Tetra Master (very addictive card game), the search for coffees for Stellazio… there’s always something new and fun to do when you want to take a break from the main story.
The game’s humor is another high point. FFIX isn’t afraid to be silly at times, with silly jokes and hilarious situations. But he also knows how to be serious and exciting when he needs to be. This balance between comedy and drama is perfect and keeps you glued to the screen the entire time.
The PS4 version brought some really cool improvements, such as the option to speed up battles (great for those who want to farm), improved graphics and some new achievements for you to hunt for. It renews the experience even for those who have already finished the game a thousand times on PS1.
The bosses in FFIX are too memorable! From the classic Behemoth to the bizarre like Ozma (seriously, what’s that deal?), each fight is a unique challenge that makes you think about the best strategy. And the invocations? My God, seeing Bahamut or Alexander in action never loses its fun!
FFIX’s story touches on deep themes in a way that few games can. Identity, purpose in life, friendship, love… all of this is explored in a way that makes you reflect even after finishing the game. Vivi’s arc in particular is heartbreaking.
Gaia’s world is so well constructed that it makes you want to explore every corner. Each city has its own culture, its own problems. From majestic Alexandria to technological Lindblum to mysterious Treno… you’ll want to visit each place again and again!
A very cool detail are the ATE (Active Time Events). These are small scenes that happen as you explore cities, showing what other characters are doing. This gives more depth to the world and secondary characters.
The Trance system is animal too. When the Trance bar fills up, your character becomes super powerful for a limited time. Seeing Zidane becoming a brilliant warrior or Garnet summoning Alexander is always epic!
Final Fantasy IX is one of those games that you finish and want to start again. There is so much content, so many secrets to discover, that even after reaching 100% you still want to come back just to spend more time with these incredible characters.
And you know what’s craziest? The game has aged very well. The story, the themes, the gameplay… all of it remains relevant and fun to this day. It’s the kind of timeless experience every gamer should have.

The theater is about to start, and you wouldn’t want to miss this play for anything in the world!
13 – DAYS GONE
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Days-Gone.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Days Gone transports us to a post-apocalyptic world where survival is the only goal and chaos is the new order. The protagonist, Deacon St. John, guides us through this intense and emotional journey, as he struggles to find answers about his past amidst a scenario devastated by a global pandemic. Developed by SIE Bend Studio and released exclusively for PlayStation 4 in 2019, Days Gone combines action, adventure and exploration in a vast, immersive open world.
Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter known as the “Tramp,” faces a world where humanity has been reduced to fragments and most people have been transformed into ferocious creatures called “Freakers.” These monsters are fast, aggressive and extremely deadly, especially at night, when they become even more dangerous. But the Freakers are not the only threat: gangs of hostile survivors and the “Rippers,” a cult of violent fanatics, also cross Deacon’s path, making his journey even more challenging.
What makes Days Gone special is the attention to detail and depth of the story. Deacon is not just a survivor; He is a man with a past, someone who has lost everything, including his wife, Sarah, and now seeks answers about his fate. As he travels through the desolate landscapes of Oregon, he comes across clues and flashbacks that reveal more about his life before the apocalypse, creating an emotional connection with the player.
Deacon’s motorcycle is his most faithful companion, essential for survival and exploration. However, keeping the bike in good condition is a constant challenge. Gasoline is scarce and must be constantly refilled at abandoned gas stations or by finding gas cans scattered across the map. The motorcycle can also be customized and improved, becoming more efficient and adaptable to different terrain and combat conditions.
Days Gone’s open world is vast and full of dangers. Exploration is rewarding as every corner of the map can hide valuable resources, weapons, ammo and survival items. Survivor camps are key points in the game, offering quests, trade, and upgrades for Deacon and his bike. Completing tasks for camps increases villagers’ confidence and unlocks essential upgrades that help with survival.
Combat is intense and varied, combining frantic shooting with strategic stealth. Deacon can use a wide range of weapons, from pistols and rifles to close combat weapons such as machetes and baseball bats. The game also offers a variety of explosives and traps, allowing for creative approaches to taking on groups of enemies. Facing the hordes of Freakers is a breathtaking experience. These massive groups of creatures require careful planning and strategic use of the environment and Deacon’s arsenal.
The gameplay mechanics in Days Gone are polished and engaging, despite some minor bugs and transition issues between cutscenes and gameplay. However, these minor inconveniences are easily overcome by the overall quality of the game and the depth of the narrative. Deacon St. John’s story is told with a sensitivity that captures the fight for survival and the search for redemption in an unforgiving world.
Days Gone’s setting is one of its strongest points. The game perfectly recreates the feeling of desolation and abandonment, with vast landscapes, dense forests, snowy mountains and small towns in ruins. Changing weather and the day-night cycle directly affect gameplay, influencing the behavior of Freakers and other enemies. The soundtrack and sound effects also contribute to immersion, creating a tense and engaging atmosphere.
In addition to the main missions, the game offers a series of secondary activities that enrich the experience. Hunting wild animals, clearing Freaker nests, rescuing hostages and confronting enemy camps are just some of the tasks that keep the player busy and constantly challenged. These activities are not mere fillers; each of them contributes to character progression and story development.
Days Gone is more than just a survival game. It’s an emotional journey that explores themes of loss, hope and redemption. Deacon St. John is a complex character, whose motivations and internal conflicts are explored in a deep and engaging way. The game’s narrative is rich in detail, with well-written dialogue and voice performances that bring the characters to life.

12 – GHOST OF TSUSHIMA
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Ghost-of-Tsushima.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Imagine yourself in feudal Japan, surrounded by stunning landscapes, rich culture and epic samurai battles. This is what you experience in Ghost of Tsushima, one of the most impressive games on the PlayStation 4. Developed by Sucker Punch, this game is a true masterpiece that combines a captivating narrative with a vast and detailed open world, where every element has been carefully thought out to provide a unique and immersive experience.
In Ghost of Tsushima, you take on the role of Jin Sakai, a young samurai who survived the devastating Mongol invasion led by Khotun Khan in 1274. After the defeat at Komoda, where the Tsushima samurai were crushed, Jin finds himself forced to adopt methods unorthodox to rescue his uncle, Lord Shimura, and free his homeland. The game is not just about epic combat and stunning scenery, but also about a profound personal journey of honor, sacrifice and self-discovery.
From the moment you start the game, it’s impossible not to marvel at the beauty of the scenery, wow, the look of this game is beautiful! The dense forests, open fields, and majestic mountains of Tsushima are rendered with a level of detail that makes every frame look like a painting. Sucker Punch has done a masterful job of capturing the essence of feudal Japan, utilizing an art direction that highlights the island’s natural beauty and historic architecture. Dense vegetation, lighting effects and dynamic weather changes contribute to total immersion in the game environment.
Gameplay is fluid and exciting, with a combat system that perfectly balances lethality and strategy. Jin can use different combat stances to face different types of enemies, making each battle a unique experience. Fights are fast-paced and require precision, with incredibly fluid animations that make every strike, block and dodge a deadly dance. The feeling of slashing enemies with your katana is so satisfying that you’ll feel like a real samurai.
But Ghost of Tsushima isn’t just about intense combat. The game values the player’s journey, incorporating activities that enrich the experience and narrative. You can meditate in hot springs, compose haikus in picturesque locations, cut bamboo to train your skills and honor shrines spread across the island. Each of these activities is integrated naturally into the story, making you feel part of the world of Tsushima.
Exploration is one of the game’s highlights. Instead of a traditional mini map, Ghost of Tsushima uses the “guiding wind” to show the direction to follow. When you slide your finger on the control’s touchpad, the wind blows in the direction of your objective, keeping the interface clean and the immersion intact. Plus, golden birds point out points of interest and charismatic foxes guide you to hidden sanctuaries. These elements not only help with navigation, but also increase the sense of discovery and adventure.
Quests are divided into three categories: main quests, side-quests and mythical tales. The main missions drive the narrative and are marked by exciting and well-crafted sequences. Side-quests involve helping locals and defending villagers, always with a sense of urgency and relevance. Mythic tales, meanwhile, offer fascinating legends that blend myth and reality, rewarding you with powerful equipment and special abilities.
Ghost of Tsushima’s narrative is engaging and well written, with deep and complex characters. Jin Sakai faces moral dilemmas throughout the game, balancing samurai honor with the practical needs of his mission. Jin’s relationship with his uncle Shimura is especially touching, exploring themes of tradition, loyalty and sacrifice. The presence of characters such as Yuna, a skilled thief, and Sensei Ishikawa, a master archer, further enriches the plot, bringing different perspectives and personal stories that intertwine with Jin’s journey.
Ghost of Tsushima’s soundtrack is simply magnificent. Composed by Shigeru Umebayashi and Ilan Eshkeri, the music perfectly captures the atmosphere of feudal Japan, alternating between tranquil melodies that accompany exploration and epic themes that intensify battles. The ambient sounds, like birds chirping, leaves rustling, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore, are so realistic that you can almost feel the breeze on your face as you play.
Ghost of Tsushima also offers a game mode called “Legends”, which allows you to play cooperatively with friends on challenging missions based on Japanese mythology. This mode adds even more value to the game, offering new ways to explore and enjoy the rich universe of Tsushima.
Ultimately, Ghost of Tsushima is a game that transcends its technical influences and limitations, delivering a deeply satisfying and memorable experience. It is a tribute to the spirit of the samurai and a celebration of the culture and history of feudal Japan. If you’re a fan of action and adventure games, or simply appreciate a good story well told in a stunning setting, Ghost of Tsushima is a must-have title for your collection. Prepare to embark on an epic journey of honor, sacrifice and redemption as Jin Sakai, the ghost of Tsushima.

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Uncharted-4-a-Thiefs-End.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Nathan Drake, the most charismatic and intrepid treasure hunter in the gaming world, is back in an epic adventure that mixes adrenaline, emotion and stunning landscapes. In Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, developed by Naughty Dog and released on May 10, 2016, Nathan embarks on a mission that promises to be the biggest and most dangerous of his life. The exclusive game for PlayStation 4 is a visual and narrative spectacle that captivates from the first moment, offering an unforgettable experience for fans of the series and new players.
In this new adventure, Nathan is retired from his life as a treasure hunter, living a peaceful life with his wife Elena. But this peace is interrupted when his brother, Sam, who he believed to be dead, reappears asking for help in finding the legendary pirate Henry Avery’s treasure. Unable to refuse his brother’s request, Nathan finds himself drawn back into the world of dangerous adventures and historical enigmas.
The story of Uncharted 4 isn’t just about finding lost treasure. It’s a personal journey that explores Nathan’s past and reveals more about his relationship with Sam. Flashbacks to the brothers’ adolescence add emotional depth to the game, allowing players to better understand their motivations and bond. This rich and engaging narrative is one of the game’s greatest strengths, keeping players invested in the plot until the end.
Gameplay in Uncharted 4 is extremely fluid and polished. Naughty Dog has maintained the series’ essence of action and exploration, but introduced new and refined mechanics that make the experience even more dynamic. The over-the-shoulder view and parkour mechanics, which allow Nathan to scale cliffs and jump between platforms with agility, bring an unprecedented sense of freedom and adventure. The combat scenes are intense, with a perfect mix of frantic gunfights and hand-to-hand fights. Strategic dodging and cover add a tactical element to combat, keeping each encounter exciting and challenging.
Uncharted 4’s world, although linear, offers broader and more detailed exploration than previous games. Players can explore every corner of the beautiful environments, find collectibles such as coins, statues and ancient diaries, and admire the incredible attention to detail in each environment. Naughty Dog has created some of the most stunning environments of the eighth generation of consoles, from the lush forests of Madagascar to the majestic landscapes of Scotland. Each scene is so well crafted that it looks like a moving painting, inviting players to stop and enjoy the view.
In addition to the impressive natural landscapes, Uncharted 4 also stands out for the artistic quality in its action scenes. The seamless transition between gameplay and cutscenes maintains immersion, eliminating long loading times and providing a fluid cinematic experience. Photo mode, although simple, allows players to capture these spectacular moments to keep as memories.
The moments of calm in Uncharted 4 are precious, offering breaks between the intense action sequences. Driving the jeep through rough terrain, solving complex puzzles and exploring ancient ruins are activities that provide a sense of discovery and satisfaction. However, these pauses are interspersed with frantic sequences that require quick reflexes and precision, creating a perfect rhythm between action and exploration.
Nathan’s arsenal of weapons is varied and powerful, including machine guns, pistols, revolvers and grenades. Hand-to-hand combat is satisfying, with a dodge mechanic that allows you to avoid blows and counterattack with precision. Each battle is a dance of bullets and fists, keeping players on the edge of their seats.
The plot of Uncharted 4 is innovative and exciting, full of twists and turns and tense moments. The presence of beloved characters from previous games, such as Victor “Sully” Sullivan and Elena, adds a layer of nostalgia and continuity to the series. The script, co-written by Neil Druckmann, known for his work on The Last of Us, is masterfully constructed, offering authentic and moving dialogue that strengthens the bonds between the characters.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End isn’t just an action-adventure game; is a masterpiece that combines immersive storytelling, refined gameplay and stunning graphics. Every element of the game has been carefully crafted to provide an unforgettable experience. Nathan Drake’s journey comes to an epic conclusion, with an ending that leaves players satisfied and wanting more.
While the main campaign can be completed in around 13 to 16 hours, depending on how much time you dedicate to exploration, Uncharted 4 offers significant replay value. Finding all the collectibles and unlocking the game’s hidden secrets is a rewarding task that prolongs the adventure.

10 – BLOODBORNE
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/09/bloodborne-1.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Bloodborne is the game that turned the PS4 into a nightmare-creating machine! This game is like taking all the Lovecraftian horror, mixing it with frantic action and hardcore difficulty, and serving it to you on a gothic silver platter.
Bloodborne drops you head first into the city of Yharnam, a place so dark and sinister that it makes Gotham City look like an amusement park. Here’s the deal: you wake up in this crazy city during the night of the hunt, where everyone has gone crazy and turned into beasts. And guess what? You are the new hunter in the area, ready to uncover the mysteries of this city and survive at all costs!
The game’s visuals are jaw-dropping, bro! Imagine a mix of Victorian architecture and cosmic horror. The narrow streets of Yharnam are a maze of Gothic buildings, haunting statues, and shadows that seem to move. Each new area you discover is more impressive than the last. From dank catacombs to cursed forests, each setting is a show of design and atmosphere.
Now, let’s talk about gameplay, because that’s where Bloodborne really shines. Forget about hiding behind a shield. Here, the best defense is attack! Combat is fast, brutal and addictive. You have to be agile, use dodges at the right time and counterattack with precision. And there’s the “rally” system, which allows you to recover lost life if you counterattack quickly enough. It’s like a deadly dance where every move counts.
Guns, my friend, are another story. Each one is unique and completely transforms your playstyle. There’s the Saw Cleaver that turns into a giant saw, the Threaded Cane that turns into a whip, the Kirkhammer that is a sword that turns into an absurd hammer… And the best part: each weapon has two ways of use! You will spend hours just testing different combinations.
Bloodborne’s bosses are legendary, man. Each one is a unique challenge that will leave you in a cold sweat. There are everything from crazy priests to giant beasts and things that your mind can’t even properly understand. Defeating a boss gives you that feeling of achievement that few games can provide. You’ll scream with joy when you finally take down Father Gascoigne or Vacuous Rom!
Bloodborne’s story is told in a unique way. Don’t expect long cutscenes explaining everything. Here, you have to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Each item, each dialogue, each detail in the setting tells a little piece of the story. It’s a cosmic horror mystery that will leave you thinking for days after finishing the game. And it has multiple endings, depending on your actions!
Multiplayer is another great aspect of the game. You can call other players to help you or invade someone’s world for tense PvP. The messages that players leave around the scene add an extra layer of community and sometimes save you from deadly traps.
Speaking of dying, prepare for it. Very. Bloodborne is one of those games that challenges you all the time. Every death is a lesson, every defeat makes you want to come back more determined. And when you finally overcome that challenge that has been stopping you for hours? Bro, there’s no better feeling!
The Chalice Dungeons are another highlight. These are procedural dungeons that you can explore to earn rare items and face unique bosses. They add hundreds of hours of gameplay and always have something new to offer.
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. It’s epic, scary and completely puts you in the mood of the game. In boss fights, the music leaves your heart in your mouth!
One really crazy thing about Bloodborne is how the game changes as you progress. Without giving spoilers, but the story takes a turn at a certain point that will make your head explode. Suddenly, what you thought you understood turns upside down!
The Insight system is genius. The more Insight you gain, the more bizarre things you start to see in the world. It’s as if your character is slowly going mad, realizing the true nature of the horror around him.
The sidequests in Bloodborne are full of twists and turns. You can save NPCs and bring them to safety, but sometimes that ends badly… really badly. Every decision has consequences, and they are not always the ones you expect.
The design of the enemies is another show in itself. From the deranged inhabitants of Yharnam to the cosmic creatures at the end of the game, each monster is unique and frightening in its own way. You never know what you’ll find around the next corner.
The DLC “The Old Hunters” is not even mentioned! It expands the story, adds insanely difficult new areas, and features some of the best boss fights in the entire Souls series. It’s practically a new game within the main game.
Bloodborne is one of those games that stays with you forever. It’s challenging, it’s scary, it’s addictive. You will die and die and die again, but each time you overcome a challenge, the feeling of achievement is indescribable. It’s the type of game that makes you improve as a player, that teaches you to be patient, observant and determined.
So, my friend, if you’re looking for a real challenge, a story that will make your head spin and one of the best experiences the PS4 can offer, Bloodborne is the way to go. Take that controller, enter Yharnam and prepare to face your worst nightmares. The hunt is just beginning, and the night is long… Good luck, hunter. Youre gonna need it!
9 – HORIZON ZERO DAWN
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Horizon-Zero-Dawn.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Horizon Zero Dawn is that game that arrives and shows everyone how to create a respectful open world. This game is like mixing Jurassic Park with Terminator, only a thousand times cooler!
The story takes place in the distant future, where the civilization we know is gone. But don’t worry, it’s not that typical post-apocalyptic scenario! Imagine a world where nature has taken over everything again, with lush forests, majestic mountains and immense valleys. But in the middle of all this there is a bizarre stop: giant machines in the shape of animals that walk around as if they were the owners of the place. It’s in this breathtaking setting that we meet Aloy, the baddest protagonist you’ve seen in a long time!
Aloy is a young warrior raised as an outcast by the Nora tribe. She is determined, smart as hell and has a huge mystery surrounding her origins. Her journey to discover who she is and what happened to the world is the beating heart of the story. And what a story, my friends! It’s a plot full of twists, conspiracies and revelations that will leave your head spinning. Guerrilla Games did a great job creating a universe rich in lore, with different tribes, each with their own culture, beliefs and way of living.
The gameplay is out of this world! You have an arsenal of weapons and tools to face the machines, and each confrontation is a mix of strategy, stealth and frantic action. Want to take down a Thunderjaw (imagine a robotic T-Rex) using just a bow and arrow? Go deep! Would you rather hack a smaller machine so it can fight on your side? It works too! The variety of approaches you can use in each situation is impressive.
The machines, in fact, are a show in themselves. Each one has its own behavior, weaknesses and parts that you can rip off to use as a weapon or resource. Facing a bunch of Watchers (like metallic raptors) is one thing, but when you come across a Stormbird (a giant electric eagle) for the first time… man, it’s chilling!
The crafting system is deep and rewarding. You’ll spend a lot of time collecting resources, hunting (yes, there are normal animals too) and improving your equipment. And it’s not just cosmetic, each upgrade makes a difference when it comes to battle. You feel Aloy getting stronger with each new skill or weapon you unlock.
Graphically, Horizon Zero Dawn is such a beautiful slap in the face. The scenes are jaw-dropping, with a vibrant color palette and lighting effects that make you stop just to admire the sunset. The design of the machines is sensational, mixing organic and robotic elements in a unique way. What about particle effects when you destroy a machine? Pure visual satisfaction!
The soundtrack is another high point. It mixes tribal elements with futuristic touches, creating a unique atmosphere that blends perfectly with the game world. In moments of exploration, music surrounds you and makes you feel small in the face of the vastness of the world. In battles, it pumps you with adrenaline!
The open world is full of things to do. In addition to the main story (which is already extensive), there are a lot of sidequests that aren’t just “go and kill that”. Each side quest expands the lore of the world, introduces you to interesting characters, or gives you useful rewards. There are also the Cauldrons, which are like high-tech dungeons where you discover more about the origin of the machines, and the Tallnecks, walking towers that you need to climb to reveal the map.
A big deal is how the game mixes primitive elements with high technology. You’re there, using a bow and arrow and tribal clothes, but at the same time hacking robots and discovering secrets of a super advanced civilization. This contrast creates unique situations and makes you want to explore every corner of the map to better understand how this crazy world works.
The dialogue system is also worth highlighting. The choices you make in conversations impact how other characters see you and can even influence some missions. This gives you a feeling that your decisions matter and makes you get even more involved with the story.
And you can’t talk about Horizon without mentioning Photo Mode. Bro, you’ll spend hours just taking photos. You can adjust angle, focus, filters… everything! It’s the kind of thing that turns the game into a walking art gallery.
Horizon Zero Dawn is one of those games that grabs you and never lets go. The story grabs you, the combat is addictive, the world is beautiful to explore and full of secrets to discover. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after you’ve finished the game. You’ll find yourself thinking about crazy theories about what happened to the world, remembering that epic battle against a giant machine, or just wanting to go back and explore some more.
So guys, if you haven’t played Horizon Zero Dawn yet, you’re wasting your time! It’s a generation-defining masterpiece, a game that showcases the PS4’s full potential and paves the way for a new franchise that promises so much. Grab that controller, dive into this crazy world of robot dinosaurs and get ready for one of the best adventures video games have ever provided. Aloy is waiting for you, and the fate of an entire world is in your hands!
8 – MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Marvels-Spider-Man-1024x576.jpg?resize=750%2C422&ssl=1)
This game is like that perfect web that Spider-Man launches – it sticks to you and won’t let go! Here you are Peter Parker, the friendly neighborhood friend, living the coolest double life ever in a New York that seems to have come straight from the comics to your TV. Insomniac Games did a great job with this version of the Big Apple, my friend. It’s so real that you can almost smell the hot dogs from the street stalls!
The coolest thing is the movement system. Bro, swinging through the buildings of New York has never been so satisfying! It’s fluid, it’s fast, it’s addictive. You’ll find yourself spending hours just enjoying the city, doing crazy stunts in the air and looking for the best angles to take epic selfies with photo mode. Yes, it has photo mode, and you will abuse it!
The main story is jaw-dropping. Without giving spoilers, but get ready to face some of Spider-Man’s most classic villains, with twists and turns that will leave you glued to the screen. The script is mature, exciting and full of moments that will make your spider sense vibrate! Insomniac managed to create a narrative that respects the hero’s legacy, but brings a fresh and surprising approach.
The combat? My friend, it’s pure adrenaline! You’ve got an arsenal of moves, gadgets, and abilities that make you truly feel like Web Head. You can customize your fighting style, create insane combos and use the environment to your advantage. Seeing Spider-Man jumping from one enemy to another, throwing webs, objects and spectacular finishes is breathtaking!
And the costumes? Damn, there’s something for everyone! There are dozens of unlockable uniforms, each with its own special ability. You can swing around the city in the classic Spider-Man Noir costume, or even in those improvised pajamas that Peter wears at the beginning of his career. Each costume is a work of art and will make you want to collect them all!
The game is full of secondary activities so you never get bored. There are combat, stealth and movement challenges spread across the city. You can stop random crimes, solve puzzles in Dr. Octavius’ laboratories (which are quite challenging, by the way), or just enjoy a view of the city from the top of the Empire State Building. Oh, and don’t forget to look for Peter’s lost backpacks and Osborn’s towers – they hide secrets from our hero’s story!
Graphically, Marvel’s Spider-Man is such a beautiful slap in the face. The city is ultra detailed, with reflections in the windows of buildings, realistic lighting effects and an absurd amount of NPCs on the streets. The character designs are incredible, especially in the close-ups during the cutscenes. And when you’re swinging at high speed, watching the sun set behind the Manhattan skyscrapers… man, it’s breathtaking!
The soundtrack deserves a paragraph of its own. It’s epic, exciting and makes you feel like you’re in a Spider-Man movie. In moments of action, the music pumps you with adrenaline. In the most emotional scenes, she tugs at your heartstrings. It’s the kind of soundtrack you’ll want to listen to even outside of the game!
A cool thing is that you also play with other characters in some missions. I won’t tell you who they are so as not to spoil the surprise, but they are moments that bring a nice break to the gameplay and deepen the narrative.
The icing on the cake are the references for hardcore Marvel fans. There are Easter eggs everywhere! You’ll find Dr. Strange’s office, the Wakanda embassy, and even Avengers Tower. It’s a great treat for anyone who enjoys the Marvel universe as a whole.
Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 is more than a game, it’s a complete experience of what it’s like to be Spider-Man. It’s fun, exciting, challenging and addictive. Insomniac delivered a product that respects the character’s legacy and still manages to bring exciting new features. It’s the kind of game that makes you feel like a real superhero, with great powers and great responsibilities.
So, my friend, if you haven’t played Marvel’s Spider-Man yet, it’s time to put on your costume, adjust your web shooters and jump into this mind-blowing adventure! New York needs you, and you can bet: this is a trip you will never forget. Excelsior!
7 – GRAND THEFT AUTO V (GTA 5)
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-GTA-5.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
This game needs no introduction and is simply epic. Without a shadow of a doubt, GTA V revolutionized everything we knew about open world games. Originally released for the PS3, the remastered version for the PS4 arrived to show that the guys at Rockstar Games don’t play around on the job.
GTA V throws you straight into a gigantic Los Santos, a city inspired by Los Angeles that is practically a character in itself. There is so much to do and explore that you won’t even know where to start! The main story revolves around three very different protagonists: Michael, a retired former bank robber who is bored with his life of luxury; Franklin, an ambitious young man who wants to escape the ghetto life; and Trevor, a crazy psychopath who is basically chaos in the form of people.
The crazy thing is that you can switch between these three guys at any time, each with their own story, personality and special abilities. This gives the game a really cool dynamic, because you never know what you’re going to find when you change characters. Sometimes you’re on a quiet mission with Michael and, out of nowhere, you switch to Trevor and he’s in the middle of a police chase wearing just his underwear. It’s this kind of madness that makes GTA V so unique!
The main missions are real action movies. You will participate in elaborate robberies, crazy chases, intense shootouts and completely crazy situations. Rockstar took care of the cutscenes and direction, making you feel like you’re in a Hollywood blockbuster. But the best thing is that you have the freedom to do things your way. Do you want to invade a place shooting everywhere? Go deep! Prefer a more stealthy approach? It works too! The game gives you the tools and lets you manage.
But man, the open world of GTA V is another level. Los Santos is gigantic and full of life. You can spend hours just exploring the city, going to bars, nightclubs, gyms, clothing stores, tattoo parlors… there’s even a stock exchange where you can invest your money! And when you get tired of the city, you have the entire interior of the state of San Andreas to explore, with deserts, mountains, forests and beaches. You can go on a motorcycle trail, parachute jump, dive to the bottom of the sea… the possibilities are endless!
The game is full of secondary activities and minigames for you to distract yourself between the main missions. Want to play a game of tennis? He can. How about a round of golf? Also have. Street races, motorcycle stunts, treasure hunts, taxi missions… there’s so much to do that you’ll get lost.
And man, I’m not even going to talk much about GTA Online because otherwise we won’t leave here today. It’s basically an entire game within a game, where you create your own character and live a life of crime in Los Santos together with other players. You can form gangs, carry out cooperative robberies, compete in events, buy houses and cars… it’s a world of possibilities that Rockstar is always expanding with updates.
Graphically, GTA V on PS4 is a spectacle. The remastered version brought high-resolution textures, improved lighting, more realistic atmospheric effects and an absurd draw distance. You can see details of the city even from far away, and the number of NPCs and cars on the streets gives a feeling of a living city that few games achieve. The day/night cycle and climate changes make all the difference in immersion.
The soundtrack, then, isn’t even mentioned. There are 17 radio stations with more than 240 licensed songs, covering all possible styles. Hip hop, rock, electronic, country, pop… it has it all! And the DJs and radio shows are hilarious, with sharp satire of American culture.
Look, I could talk for hours about GTA V. It’s a game that redefined what we expect from an open world, with an engaging story, memorable characters, varied gameplay and a level of detail and content that is simply mind-blowing. If you haven’t played it yet, man… you’re wasting your time! It’s an experience that every player should have, especially in the PS4 version that takes everything to another level.
GTA V is more than a game, it is a cultural phenomenon. It’s violent, controversial, satirical and absurdly fun. It’s the type of game that makes you lose track of time, always surprising you with something new around every corner. It’s no surprise that it continues to be one of the best-selling and most played games even so many years after its release. It’s a milestone in the history of video games and certainly deserves to be at the top of the list of the best PS4 games. So come on, my partner! Los Santos is waiting for you to create chaos!
6 – MAD MAX
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Mad-Max.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Dude, get your seatbelt ready because we’re going to accelerate deep into the insane world of Mad Max! This game is like taking all the madness from the movies, mixing it with a gigantic open world and throwing you into the middle of the most fun chaos you’ve ever seen!
In this game you are Max, that tough guy with scars, lost in a post-apocalyptic desert where water is more precious than gold and gasoline is worth more than blood. The world has become a huge open-air junkyard, full of violent freaks driving bizarre cars made from scrap metal. It is in this crazy scenario that your journey begins!
Here’s the deal: right at the beginning of the game, Max loses his iconic car, the Interceptor. Then begins your epic mission to build the perfect car to survive in this crazy world, the Magnum Opus. And man, customizing this car is one of the most addictive things in the game! You will spend hours improving the engine, changing wheels, adding weapons and armor. Every piece you place makes a difference in racing and combat. It’s like Fast and Furious, only a thousand times more insane!
The game map is gigantic and full of places to explore. It ranges from arid deserts to huge canyons and toxic swamps. And the best part: you can go anywhere in your car! The feeling of freedom is incredible. You’re there, crossing the dunes at full speed, knocking down enemy cars and feeling the adrenaline in your veins!
The fights are another show in themselves. It has two parts: the hand-to-hand fights and the car battles. In fights, Max shows off in a brutal style. Punches, kicks, dodges and violent submissions that will make you feel the impact. As for the car battles… my friend, it’s pure destruction! You can use the harpoon to rip parts off other cars, blow up fuel tanks, knock down towers… creativity is the limit!
The game has a lot of resource management mechanics. You need to keep an eye on your car’s gas, water and food so Max doesn’t die, and scrap metal to make upgrades. This adds extra tension to your explorations. Are you going to run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by enemies?
The main story is really cool, full of crazy characters and absurd situations, in the Mad Max style. But what really shines are the secondary activities spread across the map. There are insane races, combat challenges, enemy bases to conquer, observation balloons to go up and reveal the map… there’s always something new to do!
A really bad thing is sandstorms. Out of nowhere, the sky turns orange, the wind starts howling and you find yourself in the middle of a giant tornado! It’s scary and incredible at the same time. You have to run to find shelter or risk driving through the chaos to find rare items that only appear during storms.
Graphically, Mad Max does very well. The desert is beautiful in a desolate way, you know? The lighting effects, especially during sunset, are breathtaking. And the details on the cars and characters are incredible. You can see every dent, every piece of rust. Not to mention the explosion and destruction effects, which are pure visual spectacle!
The soundtrack matches the environment perfectly. It has that post-apocalyptic western vibe that leaves you tense at the right moments and pumps you with adrenaline during the chases. The sound effects are on another level. The roar of the engines, the sound of metal twisting in the beats, the screams of the War Boys… everything contributes to making you feel like you’re in that crazy world.
One of the coolest characters is Chumbinho, your mechanical partner. He stays in the turret of your car, shooting enemies and giving you tips. The relationship between Max and Chumbinho develops in a really cool way throughout the game.
The enemy factions are very varied and each has its own style. There are the War Boys, fanatical followers of Immortan Joe (remember the movie Fury Road?); the Buzzards, crazy people who ride in cars full of spikes; and several other groups, each one crazier than the other.
One cool aspect is how the game makes you feel the scarcity of resources in that world. Every drop of water, every bullet, every liter of fuel is precious. This adds an extra layer of strategy to your decisions. Is it worth spending ammo on this base or is it better to save it for later?
The progression system is pretty cool too. In addition to improving the car, you can improve Max’s skills. Want to be better in hand-to-hand combat? Invest in it. Prefer to focus on driving and shooting? It works too. The game lets you shape Max your way.
Mad Max on PS4 is one of those games that takes you by surprise. You start out thinking it’s just going to be another action game, but when you see it you’re hooked, wanting to explore every corner of the map, tune your car to the maximum and take down all the enemy bases. It’s the kind of experience that mixes frenetic action with moments of contemplative calm as you cross the desert.
So, my friend, if you enjoy unbridled action, car customization and an open world full of madness to explore, Mad Max is the perfect game for you! It’s that game that you turn on to play just a little bit and the next thing you know, it’s dawn and you’re still blasting War Boys left and right.
Grab that controller, start the engine and jump into this insane adventure! The desert is waiting for you, full of dangers, hidden treasures and lots and lots of destruction. Mad Max is pure adrenaline from beginning to end, a mind-boggling ride through the apocalypse that will leave you with the taste of dust in your mouth and a smile from ear to ear! Come on, road warrior, the Wasteland is calling!

![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Witcher-3-Wild-Hunt.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is that game that arrives and blows everything away, leaving everyone’s jaw dropped. It’s like taking Game of Thrones, mixing it with The Lord of the Rings, giving it a pinch of Skyrim and turning it all into an absurdly addictive game!
The story revolves around Geralt of Rivia, the coolest witcher who ever lived. He is a professional monster hunter, full of scars, with that angry white hair and two swords on his back – a steel one for humans and a silver one for monsters. Geralt is on a very personal mission: to find Ciri, his adopted daughter who is being pursued by the Wild Hunt, some sinister specters that will freeze your spine just by looking at them.
The world of The Witcher 3 is simply colossal! You have gigantic areas to explore, from the dark marshes of Velen to the Nordic islands of Skellige. And bro, every corner of this world is alive! Cities are full of people coming and going, each with their own routine. You will encounter war-torn villages, haunted forests, towering mountains and raging seas. It’s the kind of scenery that makes you want to explore every corner just to see what’s there.
The missions, man… the missions are another level! Forget those generic “kill 10 wolves” quests. Here, even the simplest sidequest has an engaging story behind it. You’ll get involved in political plots, solve supernatural mysteries, deal with heavy moral dilemmas and, of course, kill some horrifying monsters along the way. And the best part: your choices have real consequences in the game world. A decision you make on a mission can affect the fate of an entire village down the road!
The combat system is amazing! Geralt is agile as hell, and you’ll feel like a true master of the sword as he executes blows, dodges and uses magical signs to defeat his enemies. Every fight is a challenge, especially against the most brutal monsters. You’ll have to study your enemies, use the right oils and potions, and plan your strategy if you want to survive.
Speaking of monsters, my partner, get ready to face some of the scariest and best-designed creatures you’ve ever seen in a game. It has everything: from werewolves and vampires to killer mermaids and ice giants. Each monster has its own lore, weaknesses and way of fighting. The boss battles are jaw-dropping!
The RPG aspect of the game is deep as hell. You will spend hours improving your skills, crafting equipment, preparing potions and decoctions. Each Geralt build you make will completely change your play style. Do you want to focus on alchemy and become a potions master? Can. Would you rather be an unbeatable swordsman? It also rolls. The possibilities are endless!
Graphically, The Witcher 3 is a spectacle. The scenarios are breathtaking, with an absurd level of detail. The day/night cycle and climate changes make all the difference in immersion. Watching the sun set over the fields of Toussaint or facing a storm in the sea of Skellige are unforgettable experiences. The characters are very well modeled and animated, especially in the dialogue.
The soundtrack, my friend, is chilling! It mixes Eastern European folk elements with epic orchestration. In battles, the music pumps you with adrenaline. In calmer moments of exploration, it surrounds you and makes you feel part of that world. There are some tavern songs that you’ll be humming for days!
The characters are another high point. In addition to Geralt, you will meet an unforgettable crowd. There’s Yennefer, the powerful and complicated magician; Triss, the redhead who touches the wizard’s heart; Ciri, Geralt’s protégé with mysterious powers; and a ton of other complex and well-written characters. The relationships between them are full of nuances, and you will find yourself really caring about the fate of these people.
The DLCs are not even mentioned! Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are practically entire games within the main game. They add new areas, engaging stories and even new gameplay mechanics. Blood and Wine in particular is like a perfect grand finale to Geralt’s saga.
A really big deal is Gwent, a card game within The Witcher 3 itself. It’s so good that it later became a separate game! You’ll spend hours collecting cards and challenging NPCs across the map.
The Witcher 3 also tackles mature themes in a way that few games can. Racism, war, power, love, family… the game is not afraid to touch on heavy subjects and make you think about them.
The attention to detail is insane. From the characters’ clothes that change depending on the region to the different accents you hear in the cities. It all contributes to creating a world that feels real and alive.
Look, I could talk for hours about The Witcher 3. It’s one of those games that defines a generation, you know? It’s such a rich, immersive experience that you’ll feel a little lost when you finish. It’s the kind of game that leaves a void when it ends, because you wanted it to go on forever.
So, my friend, if you haven’t played The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt yet, you’re missing out on the best that the PS4 has to offer. It’s a masterpiece in every way: engaging narrative, deep gameplay, vast and lively world, impactful decisions and endless hours of quality content. It’s the kind of game that makes you forget the outside world and dive head first into an epic fantasy.
Grab your sword, prepare your potions and embark on this incredible journey. The Continent is full of monsters to hunt, mysteries to unravel and stories to live. Geralt is waiting for you, and believe me: this is an adventure you will never forget! so, what are you waiting for? Let’s play The Witcher 3 and discover why this game is considered one of the best of all time!
4 – RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/Red-Dead-Redemption-2.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a true milestone in the history of video games, a title that transcends simple entertainment and asserts itself as an interactive masterpiece. When you get your hands on this game and lose yourself in the vast and detailed world of the Old West, it’s impossible not to be impressed by the level of care, detail and love that Rockstar Games has put into every pixel, every line of dialogue and every gameplay mechanic. game.
Imagine the scene: I was playing and decided to call my father, who doesn’t know anything about video games, to take a look. I showed him the stunning landscapes, took the horse for a ride, fired a few shots so he could see the reloading animation, showed him the cows in the pen, threw myself into the mud so he could see the dirt on the character’s clothes, hunted and skinned an animal. , I made coffee and roasted meat on the fire, and I even gave him the control to pet the horse. His reactions were incredible, he looked like a child discovering a new toy. “This is very real!” he said in disbelief. “The guy who creates a business like that deserves to make money, he’s crazy.” And there, that afternoon, I realized how Red Dead Redemption 2 is more than a game – it’s an immersive experience that impresses and moves.
Each gaming session reinforced my love for video games. Rockstar has created a universe so rich and detailed that it’s difficult to go back to conventional gaming standards after experiencing something so grand. It’s a game that impresses, entertains, excites and, in the end, leaves a void, a desire to experience everything again as if it were the first time.
Red Dead Redemption 2 challenges the culture of immediacy that dominates the gaming world today. In a market where competitive multiplayer games like Fortnite and PUBG dominate, offering instant rewards and unbridled action, Red Dead Redemption 2 opts for a calmer, more contemplative pace. It’s like comparing a three-minute pop song to a Beethoven symphony. The game is in no rush to engage you, it builds the experience little by little, from Arthur Morgan’s first steps to the most intense moments of his journey.
The attention to detail is surprising. Every action in the game, from hunting to caring for your horse, is incredibly detailed and animated. Hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2, for example, isn’t just a matter of aiming and shooting. You need to use bait, mask its scent, choose the right weapon so as not to damage the animal’s skin, and after hunting it, skin it and take the meat or skin to sell or use at camp. And all of this is optional! You don’t have to do any of this if you don’t want to, but the depth of the game involves you in such a way that you end up doing all these tasks without even realizing it.
The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is incredibly alive and organic. NPCs react realistically to your behavior, animals have natural behaviors, and the game’s weather and lighting are impressive. Once, while I was hunting, I missed a shot and saw the animal dying on the ground. It was so intense and real that I felt guilty and gave the mercy shot to end his suffering. Every detail, every interaction, makes you feel part of a real, pulsating world.
The bonds you create in the game are deep. Your horse, for example, is not just a means of transportation. You need to take care of him, feed him and clean him to increase the bond between you, which improves your performance and skills. But not only that. You really get attached to your horse, you care about him, and when he is injured or dies, the loss is truly felt.
The Van der Linde gang, with its charismatic and well-developed characters, also creates a sense of family and loyalty. You worry about maintaining the camp, donating part of your earnings, interacting with other members and getting involved in daily activities. All of this contributes to unprecedented immersion.
The story of Red Dead Redemption 2 is a spectacle in itself. Set 12 years before the first game, it delves into the characters and shows the gang’s struggle to survive in a world that no longer has room for outlaws. Dutch Van der Linde is a charismatic and complex leader, and his transformation throughout the game is fascinating. The protagonist, Arthur Morgan, is one of the most human and believable characters ever created in a video game. He is introspective, sincere, full of fears and uncertainties, and his decisions and actions reflect this complexity.
The graphics are simply stunning. Every setting is a work of art, from the snowy mountains to the swamps of Lemoyne. The lighting, weather effects, and texture details are impressive. It’s hard to believe that a game of this graphical quality can run on 2013 hardware without significant performance issues.
The soundtrack is another high point. Music is carefully placed in every moment of the game, from action scenes to moments of contemplation. Songs like “That’s the way it is” and “May I stand unshaken” are engraved in the memory, enriching the experience even more.
Despite some gameplay issues, such as not-so-accurate aiming and an inaccurate cover system, the game makes up for it with an engaging narrative, captivating characters and a vivid, detailed world. Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t just a game, it’s an emotional journey and an interactive work of art that redefines what a video game can be.
If you haven’t played Red Dead Redemption 2 yet, you’re missing out on one of the best experiences video games can offer. It’s a game that deserves to be played, experienced and appreciated in all its details. A true masterpiece that will be forever marked in the history of video games.

3 – GOD OF WAR (2018)
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/God-of-War-2018.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
Kratos, the legendary warrior who destroyed Olympus and overthrew the Greek gods, is back, but this time in Norse lands, where he faces new challenges and embarks on a deeply personal journey. In God of War, developed by Santa Monica Studios and released on April 20, 2018, we see a different Kratos, older, wiser and accompanied by his son, Atreus. Director Cory Barlog presents us with a brilliant reimagining of the franchise that maintains the essence of the brutal Spartan while expanding his story and evolution as a character.
Kratos now lives a quieter and more reserved life with his son in the lands dominated by Norse gods such as Odin, Thor and Freya. The story begins after the death of his wife, Laufey, a giant from Jotunheim. Her last wish was that her ashes be scattered on the highest peak of the nine kingdoms. And it is with this mission that Kratos and Atreus set out on an epic journey that will not only take them to dangerous places full of surprises, but will also serve as an emotional and physical training ground for both.
From the beginning, it’s clear that Kratos has matured. He now tries to think before acting, a big difference from previous games where his rage was uncontrollable. This change is reflected in his interactions with Atreus, whom he tries to teach life’s hard lessons while he himself learns to be a father. The relationship between the two is the heart of the game, bringing an emotional depth we’ve never seen before in the series.
God of War features an innovative over-the-shoulder camera that offers a more immersive and direct combat experience. This shift in perspective not only alters the way players face enemies, but also how they explore the game’s vast and detailed world. The Leviathan, Kratos’ new axe, is an impressive weapon that can be thrown and recalled, similar to Thor’s Mjolnir. Over time, the ax becomes a natural extension of Kratos, providing intense and satisfying combat.
Atreus, despite his young age and inexperience, is a valuable addition to combat. Armed with a bow, he provides crucial support in battles and can be upgraded alongside Kratos, adding a strategic element to the game. Atreus’ abilities evolve throughout the journey, making him an indispensable companion and transforming combat into a coordinated dance between father and son.
The game allows you to customize and improve weapons and armor, introducing an RPG layer to the series. Kratos can find and upgrade various armors, each with unique attributes that affect his performance in combat. The same attention is paid to runic attacks, which are powerful magical moves that can be unlocked and upgraded, providing a wide range of tactical options to meet the game’s challenges.
The seamless transitions between gameplay and cutscenes are another highlight, eliminating long loading periods and increasing immersion. Every combat, every conversation, and every moment of exploration flows together seamlessly, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. Enemy finishing animations are brutal and satisfying, maintaining Kratos’ trademark character while adding a new level of realism to the combat.
Exploring the Norse realms is a visually stunning experience. Despite being a linear world, there are many secrets to be discovered. The map, while not gigantic, is richly detailed and full of interesting locations, collectible artifacts, hidden treasures, and iconic characters from Norse mythology. Among them are the World Serpent, Jormungandr; the blacksmith brothers Brokk and Sindri, and the goddess Freya all play crucial roles in the story.
Mimir, a character known for his wisdom, joins Kratos and Atreus, offering advice and fascinating stories about the nine realms. Many of these stories are told as the trio sails across the Lake of Nine, which adds a layer of depth to the game’s universe. Hearing Mimir tell stories as you paddle across the lake becomes a memorable part of the experience, enriching the context and mythology of the Norse world.
Bear McCreary’s soundtrack is spectacular, elevating every moment of the game. Whether in intense combat, moments of reflection or emotional scenes, the music fits perfectly, amplifying the emotions and immersion. The combination of grand orchestral themes and softer melodies creates a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
God of War is more than a game; it is an emotional and introspective journey. Kratos, once driven by revenge, now seeks redemption and a new purpose in life. His relationship with Atreus is complex and evolves significantly throughout the story, showing that even a god can change and grow.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series or a new player, God of War offers a deep and rewarding experience. It’s a shining example of how video games can tell powerful stories and create immersive worlds that capture the imagination. This title redefined the franchise and set new standards for what an action-adventure game could be. A masterpiece that deserves to be played, experienced and remembered.
2 – THE LAST OF US PART II
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-of-Us-Part-II.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
The Last of Us Part II, the game that blew everyone’s minds in 2020! This game is a sequel that not only exceeded expectations, but redefined what is possible in terms of narrative and gameplay in video games.
Five years after the events of the first game, we find Ellie as an adult, living in a community of survivors in Jackson, Wyoming. But peace doesn’t last long. A traumatic event sets Ellie on a brutal journey of revenge that will take her on an intense emotional rollercoaster!
The game’s visuals are out of this world! Naughty Dog has outdone itself, creating environments so detailed and realistic that sometimes you forget you’re playing a game. Seattle, one of the main locations, is an incredible post-apocalyptic playground. Abandoned buildings taken over by nature, flooded streets full of dangers, it’s breathtaking!
The gameplay has evolved like hell! Ellie is much more agile and versatile than Joel. She can sneak through tall grass, crawl, jump and use the environment in super creative ways. Combat is visceral and tense. Every encounter with enemies, whether human or infected, is a desperate fight for survival.
Speaking of infected, the guys really worked on the new variations. Stalkers will make you paranoid, hiding and surrounding you when you least expect it. And the Rat King? My God, it’s one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen in a video game!
The story is the highlight of the game, but also the most controversial. Without giving spoilers, let’s say that Naughty Dog made courageous narrative decisions that divided opinions. The game makes you question concepts of good and evil, puts you in morally ambiguous situations and isn’t afraid to make you feel uncomfortable.
One of the most innovative things is how the game changes the perspective of the narrative. At one point, you play a character who is initially introduced as an antagonist. This creates a unique dynamic where you are forced to see another side of the story, understand different motivations, and question your own actions.
The level design is phenomenal! The environments are semi-open, full of secrets to explore and resources to collect. Each area is like a survival puzzle, giving you multiple options on how to approach the challenges. Want to go stealth? He can. Prefer to go in shooting? It works too. The tactical freedom is incredible!
The crafting and upgrade system has been expanded. Now you have more options to customize your weapons and improve Ellie’s skills. This allows you to adapt your playstyle, focusing on stealth, combat, or a mix of the two.
The voice acting and motion capture are on another level! Ashley Johnson as Ellie delivers a heartbreaking performance. Each character is so well played that you forget they are actors providing voices for 3D models. It is interactive cinema of the highest level.
The soundtrack, composed again by Gustavo Santaolalla with the addition of Mac Quayle, is chilling. She perfectly follows the emotional ups and downs of the narrative, intensifying each moment of tension, sadness or (rare) moments of joy.
One aspect that deserves to be highlighted is representation. The game presents LGBTQ+ characters in a natural and respectful way, in addition to having ethnic and cultural diversity that reflects the real world. It’s refreshing to see this inclusion in a AAA game.
Accessibility mechanics are revolutionary! Naughty Dog has included over 60 different options to make the game accessible to players with a variety of needs. This ranges from high-contrast options for the visually impaired to fully customizable controls.
Encounters with the infected are more tense than ever. The game plays on your paranoia, creating claustrophobic environments where you never know where the next attack will come from. And the Clickers continue to be a sonic nightmare!
The violence in the game is brutal and shocking. Each death, whether of enemies or allies, has weight. The game does not glamorize violence, but uses it as a narrative tool to show the emotional cost of revenge and survival in a hostile world.
Photo mode is amazing and addictive! With a game this beautiful, you’ll find yourself constantly stopping the action just to capture epic moments or emotional scenes. The community has created truly artistic images using this tool.
The attention to detail is absurd. From ultra-realistic facial expressions to small environmental details like old newspapers or abandoned toys that tell silent stories of the world before the apocalypse.
Hand-to-hand combat has been improved and is brutally satisfying. The animations are fluid and impactful, making you feel every punch and knife strike. It’s visceral in a way that few games can be.
The verticality of the environments adds a new dimension to the gameplay. Ellie can climb, jump between buildings and use ropes to cross chasms, which opens up a range of possibilities for both exploration and combat.
The game addresses heavy themes such as trauma, obsession, the cycle of violence and the cost of revenge. It’s not a “fun” experience in the traditional sense, but it is deeply impactful and emotionally resonant.
The enemies’ artificial intelligence is impressive. They work as a team, flank, call out the names of their fallen comrades… all of this creates a sense of realism that increases the immersion and tension of the confrontations.
In the end, The Last of Us Part II is more than a game, it’s an experience. It’s the kind of work that stays with you long after the final credits, making you question your own notions of right and wrong, hero and villain.
It’s a game that divides opinions, that provokes heated discussions, and that’s part of its merit. He is not afraid to take risks, to challenge the player not only in terms of skill, but emotionally and morally.
So, guys, if you’re ready for an intense, emotionally exhausting, but incredibly rewarding journey, The Last of Us Part II is a must. It’s one of those games that showcases the artistic potential of video games, that elevates the medium to new heights. Prepare your heart, sharpen your reflexes and immerse yourself in this masterpiece of interactive storytelling. The apocalypse has never been so brutal, so beautiful and so deeply human!
1 – THE LAST OF US REMASTERED
![](https://i0.wp.com/revolutionarena.com/pt-br/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/The-Last-of-Us-Remastered.jpg?w=750&ssl=1)
The Last of Us Remastered is simply a milestone in the history of video games! The game was originally released for the PS3 in 2013 and remastered for the PS4 in 2014, this Naughty Dog game is one of those that grabs you by the heart and never lets go!
In the game, you are in a post-apocalyptic world, 20 years after a fungal infection turned most of humanity into hostile creatures. In this desolate scenario, you control Joel, a tough guy full of emotional scars, who is tasked with escorting Ellie, a 14-year-old girl who could be the key to curing this plague.
What begins as a simple escort mission turns into an epic and thrilling journey across a ruined United States. The relationship between Joel and Ellie is the heart of the game, and boy, is it chilling! You see these two characters, initially distant, form a deep and touching bond. The evolution of this relationship is so well written and acted that you forget that you are playing a game and feel like you are watching a very high quality TV series.
The world of The Last of Us is absurdly detailed and atmospheric. Each scenario tells a silent story of what happened there. Abandoned cities taken over by nature, crumbling buildings, rusting cars… everything contributes to creating a feeling of desolation and melancholy that completely envelops you.
The gameplay is a perfect mix of stealth, action and survival. Resources are scarce, so every bullet, every healing item, is precious. You need to be smart, use the environment to your advantage, create improvised weapons… it’s too tense! And when the action rolls around, my friend, it’s brutal and visceral in a way that few games can be.
The enemies are varied and scary. It has those infected at different stages of mutation, each with their own terrible characteristics. The Clickers, who are blind but have very keen hearing, will leave your heart in your mouth every time they appear. And humans? They are often even more dangerous than those infected, showing how far people will go to survive.
The remastered version for PS4 made everything even more beautiful. The graphics, which were already impressive on the PS3, were breathtaking. The characters’ facial expressions are so realistic that you can feel every emotion. The lighting, the textures, the particle effects… everything works together to create an incredible visual experience.
One thing The Last of Us does like no other is tell stories through the environment. Exploring the scenarios, you find notes, photos, personal objects… each item tells you a little bit about the people who lived there before the apocalypse. It’s heartbreaking.
The soundtrack, composed by Gustavo Santaolalla, is simply perfect. Minimalist and melancholic, it perfectly complements the game’s atmosphere. There are moments when music alone is enough to move you.
Combat in The Last of Us is tense and strategic. You need to think carefully before getting involved in a fight, because every encounter can be fatal. The crafting system allows you to create weapons and items on the fly, which adds a really cool element of improvisation to fights.
The remastered version also includes the “Left Behind” DLC, which tells a little of Ellie’s story before the events of the main game. It’s a short expansion, but super exciting and adds even more depth to the character.
The multiplayer mode, called “Factions”, is surprisingly good. It takes the tense gameplay of story mode and applies it to online matches. You need to work as a team, manage resources and be strategic to survive. It’s too addictive!
One thing that a lot of people love about The Last of Us is how the game isn’t afraid to tackle heavy themes. It talks about loss, trauma, what it means to be human in an inhuman world… these are questions that stick with you long after you finish the game.
The voice acting (and motion capture) is phenomenal. Troy Baker as Joel and Ashley Johnson as Ellie deliver Oscar-worthy performances. Every dialogue, every interaction between the characters is full of nuances and emotion.
The level design is another high point. Each area of the game is like a small sandbox, giving you several options on how to approach situations. You can try to go unnoticed, confront enemies directly, or use the environment to your advantage. This tactical freedom keeps the game fresh and exciting.
The Last of Us also innovates in the way it treats companions controlled by AI. Ellie (and other characters that accompany you throughout the game) are not a burden, but rather useful allies that really help you in combat and exploration.
The remastered version includes a photo mode that is simply incredible. With a world so detailed and beautiful, you’ll find yourself stopping the action just to capture epic moments or emotional scenes.
The game also has a difficulty mode called “Grounded” which is for those who really want a hardcore challenge. In it, resources are even more scarce and the HUD is removed almost completely. It’s too tense!
One thing I found brilliant was how the game uses silence. There are moments of stillness between Joel and Ellie that say more than any dialogue. It’s in these moments that you really feel the connection between the characters developing.
The game’s ending is one of the most discussed and impactful in the history of video games. Without giving spoilers, let’s just say that it’s the kind of conclusion that leaves you thinking for days, debating with friends and questioning your own notions of right and wrong.
Ultimately, The Last of Us Remastered is more than a game. It is an interactive work of art that showcases the narrative and emotional potential of video games. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you, that makes you reflect on the human condition and the bonds we form with each other.
So, if you enjoy deep narratives, tense and exciting gameplay, and are not afraid to get emotionally involved with video game characters, The Last of Us Remastered is an absolute must-have. It’s one of those games that defines a generation, that elevates the medium to new artistic heights. Get ready for an unforgettable journey through a broken world, but where there is still hope. The apocalypse awaits you, survivor!
