I swap games so much. It's not bad since I only play 1 or 2 games at a time.

A good gen for Sony? Feels very good overall but looking back the lack of 90+ is surprising.

Shocked dreams is all the way up there at 6. Yeah I thought there were more 90+ and more high 80's.




And lol with knack and knack 2 being so low on the list. Please give us a knack 3 Sony, redemption time.

I don't know what should have been 90+ or high 80s but if you asked me to guess how many 86+ games Sony had put out this gen I would have guessed 15-20 when its actually 11.

I think Sony succeeded this gen in making big blockbusters and having at least one big game a year, so it was the consistency. Looking at the 'big' games for each year (big by budget/ market):

2013 - Killzone SF
2014 - Infamous SS, Driveclub
2015 - Bloodborne, The Order 1886 (ish)
2016 - Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank
2017 - Horizon ZD, GT Sport
2018 - God of War, Spider-Man
2019 - Death Stranding, Days Gone
2020 - TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima

Your definition of big may differ, but these games have mass appeal potential and most of them ended up being very big. The average consumer buys about 10 games for their consoles, so Sony putting out (arguably) 15 large games is pretty impressive and shows why this gen is considered to be so successful for them exclusive-wise. Its probably the least amount of exclusives they've had, and the least highly rated, but in terms of mass appeal its been huge.

On top of that, since 2015 they've always had at least one game competing for GOTY awards: Bloodborne, U4 & TLG, Horizon, God of War & Spidey, Death Stranding, TLOU2 (very probably). That's a very impressive run, MS has barely had any games competing for overall GOTY winners and Nintendo has missed years.

Compared to PS3:
MM: 2 fewer games
GG: 1 fewer
ND: 1 more due to remaster
3 fewer MLB

Not surprised, tbh.

I've been a bit disappointed with things.  

Combination of:
-bigger longer games taking more development time.  A lot of these studios just haven't put out as many games as the PS3 era. Despite growth.
-reviewers being harsher on some games
Knack 1 isn't a 54 game.

Related to my earlier post here's the games from Nintendo/ Sony/ MS that receieved 10 or more GOTY awards in this generation according to gotypicks blogspot.

2013
Super Mario 3D World (12)

2014
Mario Kart 8 (28)
Super Smash Bros (28)
Bayonetta 2 (22)

2015
Bloodborne (31)

2016
Uncharted 4 (165)
The Last Guardian (15)

2017
Breath of the Wild (189)
Horizon ZD (52)
Super Mario Odyssey (26)

2018
God of War (198)
Spider-Man (16)

2019
Death Stranding (80)

I make that 305 for Nintendo across 6 games and 557 for Sony across 7 games and obviously 0 for MS. If you go and count games under 10 I think MS has some from Forza and maybe a couple others.

Obviously can't speak for 2020 yet but I expect TLOU2 to do very well and it seems Nintendo may be missing again. Perhaps Halo Infinite can provide Microsoft's first and only big winner of the gen? Halo 5 didn't win a single award though, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Sony have absolutely bossed it in this regard, they could well have 700+ game of the year awards from the gen after TLOU2, 600+ for sure anyway. MS has been terrible, this is where they need to improve.

MM is a shame although I was never into LBP. Dreams is a big letdown for me as a player rather than a creator. GG put out two important games, one of which being one of the biggest and best new IPs of the decade, so still did very well. Naughty Dog obviously had a fantastic gen again. Santa Monica is the big disappointment with only 1 game, but that 1 game is the best game on PS4 (imo) so at least they nailed it.

Reviewers are definitely harsher, last gen HZD would have been 90+ easy. But Sony didn't produce as many 80+ games as I thought either. I guess games just got a lot bigger.

Beautiful video from Much. Combining short gifs of some of the top PS4 games.

Seems this is just PS+ members and perhaps only people who've had it for many years in a row.
