    So I just got a PS4 as a birthday present. I got it on the day Abzu came out and played the whole game in one sitting. It was a great experience and it really helped to give the PS4, and Playstation in general, a great first impression as someone who has played Xbox One games for a majority of this current generation. After wetting my whistle a little I'm ready to dive in. So, I'm putting it to you guys to offer me any great game, no matter how large or small, long or short, that you would recommend. Bonus points if it has a good narrative that you wouldn't mind playing through again.

    If you're looking for narrative, I'd go Uncharted 4.

    Ratchet & Clank and Until Dawn are both great PS4 exclusive narrative-heavy games. Definitely give those a shot. Until Dawn in particular has some great replay value.

    The Last of Us Remastered is a must play if you're looking for narrative. Plus it's been out for awhile now, so copies of the game are pretty cheap, bonus!

    Also, since you liked ABZU, you really should check out both Journey and Flower.

    I just finished Guacamelee on my Vita and I'm honestly considering buying the upgraded/remastered-ish PS4 version.

    That game is pretty rad.

    If you enjoyed Abzu, Journey is a logical choice.

    Ratchet & Clank helped scratch the platformer itch I had for a little while, very enjoyable and can be found for a reasonable price these days. I also enjoyed Dust: An Elusyian Tail.

    . Missed it when it was on PC and Xbox 360 when it was released but got it for free through PS+ and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Obvious choices for narrative are Last of Us and Uncharted 1-4.

    Bloodborne is one of the best on the system too. And if you haven't played them before, the Bioshock collection comes out soon. Great games for narrative.

    If you like anime ridiculousness, SRPG grind, and watching numbers go up and up and up, Disgaea 5 is your game.

    This is not a PS4 game. I assume you meant Second Son?

    ITT a lot of people recommending games that are either not PS4 exclusives or are not on PS4 at all.

    As for me, I'd say all the Naughty Dog games are great if you want narrative based games. The gameplay isn't necessarily fantastic (though I really liked Last of Us) but the atmosphere and the storytelling is top notch.

    I'm also recommending Firewatch, Transistor, and Resogun. The first two are fantastic narrative games, and the last is one of the best arcade shooters in MANY years.

    Transistor was a lot of fun and I am planning at some point to go back through a second time in ng+ ... also the soundtrack is really something.

    You need to play the greatest game available for the PS4. It is really simple, there's only two steps!

    1: Find Bloodborne

    2: Play Bloodborne

    Greatest Exclusive for PS4 with Disgaea 5 close behind it.

    Bloodborne is good, although I don't like it as well as the Souls series.

    Infamous: Second Son was pretty good and you can probably get it cheap.

    Shadows of Mordor was a lot of fun provided you ignore the fan-fiction level story and just muck about messing with the orcs.

    If you haven't played Witcher 3 on your XBONE or PC, then pick it up for PS4.

    Unlike others here, I really can't recommend Transistor. I thought it had a lot of neat ideas, but ended up being pretty terrible as a game.

    @bigsocrates: yah I meant Second Son but my brain must have shortened it to just "2"

    There are surprisingly few good "exclusives" on either side of the fence

    Multiple people have now recommended Shadows of Morder to an XBONE owner as a game to pick up now that he has a PS4.

    Do people think Shadows of Mordor was a PS4 exclusive?

    Both are a must if you haven't tried them before.
