The 10 Best PlayStation 4 Games Of 2016

It’s been a very interesting year for PlayStation 4 owners. Not only have we seen revised and revamped hardware in the form of the PlayStation 4 Pro, but Sony has dived headfirst into the world of virtual reality with the release of the PlayStation VR, a relatively low-cost VR headset that's banking on its software lineup and ease of use.

We promise, this is the last “remake” (of sorts) on our list. Ratchet & Clank (2016) is a bit difficult to classify; rather than being an enhanced port or remake, it’s more of a re-imagining, and was released in tandem with the animated movie of the same name. While said feature film is something we’d quickly like to forget, developer Insomniac Games has done an outstanding job of bringing the titular duo to the PlayStation 4.

Rather than simply remaking the game with a fresh coat of paint, Insomniac chose to combine the best elements of the entire series into one game. Dedicated fans will notice that elements such as strafing make an appearance, and entirely new weapons such as the Pixelizer (which, as you might have guessed, turns enemies into 8-bit equivalents) do an excellent job of mixing up the formula, especially if you played the original back on the PlayStation 2.

Graphically, Ratchet & Clank also looks outstanding, featuring some of the cleanest visuals on the PlayStation 4 to date, which have a Pixar-esque quality to them.
