What are best adventure games for PS4 as of 2020?

Play Station 5 launched last month, now is time we snuggling up together and memorize some of the best exclusive games on PS4, especially adventure games (the most unique of any game). Now, let’s take a look at our list of best adventure games for PS4!

Control

Opening of the list of best adventure games for PS4, we have Control. If you’re after a mind-bending narrative that is X-Files levels of weirdness, then look no further than Control.

Developed by Remedy (creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake), this third-person shooter tells the twisted tale of Jesse Faden, an answer-seeking civil who blunders into the titular Bureau of Control.

In no time at all our heroine realizes this shadowy organization is a nexus for an inter-dimensional experiment gone wrong. Worse, the role of Bureau Director gets mysteriously foisted upon her, along with a weird reconfiguring firearm whose primary exports are bullets and garbled alien messages.

Gameplay-wise, this is equal parts cover shooting and leveraging your ever-growing list of earned supernatural powers.

Honestly, being able to “Magneto fling” everyday objects into people’s faces never gets old – especially when you grind the skill up to include enemy corpses and forklifts as projectiles. Couple that gratifying action with the thrill of sniffing through an Area 51 gone mad, and Control is damn fine action-adventuring.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

Just to prepare you: you’re going to see a lot of Naughty Dog developed titles in this list. Because whenever this talented team releases a game they more or less redefine the action-adventure genre all over again.

In fact, the three games that cemented this studio as trendsetters are in this very pack – Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.

The middle entry in the trilogy is worth the full price of admission alone, too, as it’s still widely regarded as one of the best video games ever made. Period.

In terms of gameplay, The Nathan Drake Collection is more or less a swashbuckling interactive Indiana Jones movie. Our titular bounty hunting hero is adept at three things: solving ancient puzzles, blasting/punching rival grave robbers, and platform leaping in ways that’ll make vertigo sufferers uneasy.

The cherry on top of all that: some of the best scriptwriting and voice performances ever committed to game disc.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Another game of the Uncharted series on the best adventure games for PS4. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is a great game, and even occasionally fantastic, even if it’s widely agreed that the Uncharted series peaked with Uncharted 2. Among Thieves does provide a Return of the King-like second ending to a cast of beloved characters in a fitting final adventure. The fact that the usually bolted-on multiplayer is now must-play (and at 60fps) means Uncharted 4 is even more appealing.

Detroit: Become Human

Auteur game director David Cage is already well known for delivering unique gaming experiences like The Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.

With Detroit: Become Human he turns his attentions to the near-future problems of automation, synthetic humans, and the growing irrelevancy of us, their creators. Basically, this is a gorgeous looking, choice-driven adventure that will present you with an array of fascinating moral dilemmas. The narrative is told from the perspective of three androids: Kara, a “maid bot” who defies her programming to protect an abused young girl; Connor, a Bladerunner designed to track his rogue brethren; and Markus, a messiah of sorts. Whether these protagonists survive or get scrapped will all depend on your dialogue choices and reflexes during quick-time action moments.

This is slower-paced stuff, but you’ll get your money’s worth with an abundance of possible endings.
