My favourite console of all time?
Yes i know im a bit late reviewing this. This is a system that has been out for over 5 years. But what better time to reciew when a large bulk of games have come out and we have come to see most, if not all, of wha ps4 has to offer.

First off we have to talk about the games. Last of us remastered, uncharted 4, god of war, spiderman, detroit, bloodborne, ratchet and clank, until dawn, horizon zero dawn.......i can keep going and going. The list just cant seem to end. The amount of games on this sysem is astounding, the list of exclusives even more so. There is a game for everyone and they will blow you away. We are nearly the end of its life cycle now and i have to see this has been 1 of my favourife systems, if not THE favourite system and ive been playing since sega master system.

I dont want to speak too much about vr, ill most likely do a seperate review but ps4 managed to bring in an audience like myself into vr at an affordable price. Is it the best vt experience on the market, of course not but at the price they other you can certainly have a lot of fun with it with a bunch of different games. Just being able to offer vr at all makes the ps4 an impressive machine.

The ps4 controller is vastly upgraded since ps3 and feels incredibly comfortable in my hands. The touch pad was a nice touch but i feel very underused. Not many games utilise the touch pad aspect, its mainly just used as a button to open maps in games or in some cases change camera angle.

The ui is slick and simple. Its easy to find specific things and this has been updated over time to make things even easier. The addition of making folders, while small, was a huge help with organising my digital library. There are countless themes on the store which change the icons, text and background of the ui. Some will will even have their own tones and music to give a more relaxing vibe.

The playstation store is so much more improved since ps3. Its no longer an app to be booted into. You just find it to the far left on the main menu and your on the store in seconds. It appears its constanly open which is a huge help. It can be a little difficult to navigate but once you get the hang of it it gets easier. The constant sales and the many categories on the main page in the stores means i am always in here. It can just be a little tough to find the free ps plus games for example.

Ps plus is a must have for this system. Its an expensive subscription at about £50 a year but it is a must have if you want to play online. You do also get free ps4, ps3 and ps vita fames every month but as of March 2019 it will only be ps4. The games can be hit and miss. Amazing 1 month but meh the next or so sometimes they will be games i already own.

There are so many things i can still talk about but i dont want to make this too long so for now ill make a list of any other things and may expand on them in future.

Comes with 500gb or 1tb hard drive but can easily be upgrades
External hard drive support
Fun apps like youtube (now with vr support), media player, bbc iplayer
Ability to share clips, screenshot or stream gameplay
Boost mode and supersampling (ps4 pro only)
Party chat with friends

Overall if your a gamer you need this system. Its amazing and needed for all the incredible exclusives that have come out and yet to be released.

Nuanced but accessible combat controls.

very steep learning curve. (1 more)
Earning money at the beginning can get extremely repetitive, as can the mission design, lifeless planets, and identikit space stations.
The pioneering space adventure makes an impressive landing on PlayStation 4, with more content than ever and the promise of even better things to come.

Currently working my way through this, about 70% complete and totally invested in Bayek and his story of revenge for the death of his son.

The game has a really large open world and it can take forever to get from one side of Egypt to the other, even on a mount, so it's really great to have the vantage points spread out throughout the map.

This is my first proper foray into the Assassin's Creed games as I could never really get into previous games.

I'm looking forward to playing more on the PS4

Always been a big fan of the Ace Combat games and probably is the reason why I bought a PS4!
They've increased the story compared to other versions which means there's plenty more to play. The story has more to follow, gets a little complex towards the middle but it comes back around again and is great.
Only issue is that some of the missions are a bit similar so you kind of do the same thing over again but I still enjoyed it

Fun Free To Play MMORPG
A friend suggested this to me since I like games like Phantasy Star Online. It's free to play so I thought it wouldn't hurt to check it out. I like it a lot. There are three different warframes to choose from when you start out, with their own unique abilities. There's a tank one, a crowd control damage dealer, and one that is like a mage. I went with the Mag; the crowd control warframe. I had so much fun doing missions with friends and fighting enemies. It's fast paced and the battles are great. You can also upgrade your warframe and build other warframes from items you find during missions. You can also upgrade your weapons and abilities. I started playing this on PC and really liked it. You can also play on PS4 and XboxOne which is cool. There is no cross platforming however, which is a little disappointing. I just spend time playing on PC with my friends there and then on PS4 with my friends there. The game is a lot of fun and playing with friends makes it better.

Crash Bandicoot was one of my favorite games to play on the original PS, so it was on my list to get as soon as I got a PS4.
The game is definitely as fun and goofy as I remember. Though, I can't remember how to beat some of the random obstacles. It seems more difficult, but I don't spend that much time playing video games anymore in general, so I think I may just be out of practice. The enhanced graphics also look amazing.
If you liked playing Crash on the original PS, this is definitely a must-have.

Set in a variety of locations filled with emptiness and seemingly demonic creatures, our little protagonist(?) Awakens and immediately set's off on a dark and difficult journey....but to where and through what is a mystery.

Brilliantly designed & thought out, little nightmares will have you questioning a lot in its short gameplay.
