<p>Whatoplay Presents the 10 best PlayStation 4 games of 2017. Let’s check them out right now. </p>

<h3>10. First on the list is <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/night-in-the-woods/">Night In The Woods</a></h3>

<p>The PlayStation 4 is home for Indie games too. Journey did the same when it shaped the future of independently developed games. This time, Alec Holowka’s Kickstarter-funded game managed to tell a resonating tale of a young girl struggling with life’s biggest questions. Roam around its quaint little town and talk to anthropomorphic creatures with memorable stories to tell. There’s no violent combat involved in this game, nor any fighting involved. It’s just pure storytelling fun. </p>

<p>It lost against Hellblade under the category of “Games For Impact” and walloped against Cuphead charm with being the Best Indie game of the year during this year’s Game Awards. However, it was still notably praised for its thoughtful narrative and mature themes. It has a PlayScore of 8.91 </p>

<h3>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nex-machina-death-machine/">Nex Machina</a></h3>

<p>No, it’s not Square Enix’s cyberpunk version of the world. It’s a bullet hell twin stick shooter that leaves you with Carpal Tunnel problems. Created by the dudes behind Resogun, it focuses on the idea of pure action, destruction and competitiveness set in the bleak dystopian future. It is as intense as it is unforgiving. But the game’s tight soundtrack accompanies your journey as you unleash voxel explosions in every corner. </p>

<p>In its cablepunk future, eliminate machines before they take over humans for being the superior race. Use your wide array of weapons to dominate its over 100 levels. It is a satisfying visual trip and the game’s homage to the classic arcade atmosphere is on point. </p>

<p>If you like twin stick shooters, Nex Machina is just for you. It has a PlayScore of 8.91 </p>

<h3>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/uncharted-the-lost-legacy/">Uncharted: The Lost Legacy</a></h3>

<p>Yeah, we all know Nathan Drake is now retired with his globetrotting business. This spin-off puts the camera to two of the most badass female characters in the game: Nadine and Chloe Frazer. </p>

<p>It’s female power as you help them retrieve a mysterious Indian Relic. The stakes are higher and danger lurks in every corner. It’s a race against time as you maneuver through difficult challenges and jaw-dropping action sequences. It still contains the same explosive charm of the original Uncharted games.</p>

<p>It was well reviewed due to its visual splendor and heavy attention to detail. Knowing Naughty Dog, they put so much effort with their immersion to the game itself. Gunplay and combat is also widely praised due to its sleekness. With its success, we can’t wait for what lies for The Last Of Us II. This game has a PlayScore of 8.92 </p>



<h3>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasyr-ix/">Final Fantasy IX</a></h3>

<p>Once a landmark in its time, Final Fantasy's 9th major entry was one of the leading contenders for the best of the whole series--it gave us a brand new 3D experience. Square Enix brings back this beloved game to their modern console, and with added tweaks. </p>

<p>Control the charming bandit, Zidane Tribal, and his crew of Tantalus thespians as they work together to kidnap the beautiful Princess Garnet and save her from her royal woes. Roam around the land of Gaia, learn about the secret of the Crystal, and destroy an evil force that looms about their world.</p> 

<p>Similar to last year’s Final Fantasy VII release, it has enhanced visuals, new HD cutscenes, trophy support and boosters to help players level up and master weapons efficiently. Everything you love about the game is still here. It has a PlayScore of 8.92 </p>

<h3>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-xii-the-zodiac-age/">Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age</a></h3>

<p>The second Final Fantasy game on our list. Compared to IX, this was also one of PlayStation 2’s most iconic games. Return to Dalmasca in this beautiful remaster of the sky-soaring, wall-destroying characters of Final Fantasy XII. Named The Zodiac Age, the game promises to enhance most of the concerns from the community including Game Balance, Remastered Graphics and a whole new challenge mode. </p>

<p>It’s International Zodiac Job System brings a whole new approach to the progression. This puts your characters to unique specialties and skills that was once a missing feature during the original game. </p>

<p>Though the updates seem huge, it’s still pretty much the game game. Get caught in its political conspiracies and difficult boss fights. Don’t listen to Ondore’s lies, because this game has a PlayScore of 8.92 </p>

<h3>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nier-automata/">NieR: Automata</a></h3>

<p>It’s 2017. The age of sexy witches and wizards are no more. Yoko Taro’s creation gave us a smoking hot android in a tight black-dress. A spin-off to the Drakengard series, enter a desolate future in a post-apocalyptic earth. </p>

<p>Follow group of Android units designed to protect Humanity after an Alien Race conquers the planet. They seek out missions, find leads and fix the cause of the mysterious happenings behind god’s green earth.</p>

<p>As 2B, secure the future of mankind with your badass skillsets in high-flying hack and slash action. Combine heavy and light attacks with precision and style. But that doesn’t where the game shines, with its 26 unlockable endings, uncover the game’s massive secrets and complex story. </p>

That, on top of the rather bland gameplay, gives it a playscore of 7.24.</p>

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/farming-simulator-18/" title="Farming Simulator 18 on Android">Farming Simulator 18</a></h2>

Head to the premier league, and revel in realistic ball controls and satisfying passes using its responsive and precise touch interface.

Still lacking in their own acquired teams and badges, you might be forced to play some nobody team with a whole roster of nobody players.

<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/chroma-squad/" title="Chroma Squad on Android">Chroma Squad</a></h2>

<p>One of the quirkiest games this month. This 8bit masterpiece by Saulo Camarotti feels like an unexpected fusion between <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/power-rangers-legacy-wars/">Power Rangers</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/game-dev-tycoon/" title="Game Dev Tycoon on PC">Game Dev Tycoon</a>. While the Brazilian studio had its share of copyright disputes with Saban when it first arrived on Kickstarter, that's all hopefully behind them.

<p>As with the classic <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/arcade/">arcade game</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/shoot-em-up/">shoot down waves after waves of aliens</a> with your horizontal ship and hope they don't get you first. With all the newest hardware, the two games get a considerable revamp, packing some shinier stages, better graphics, and a whole new collection of upgrades and varieties.

Like an <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/puzzle/">interactive Proustian tale</a>, you'll encounter events and uncover memories that will enlighten players about its varying mysteries.</p>

<p>Like most games with a thoughtful and relaxing atmosphere, it has a tendency to become a little too slow for most. But, in those moments, it's eye-catching visuals gladly take the fall, distracting you long enough to forget the occasionally uncomfortable pace.</p>

<p>Delightful and ultimately rewarding, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/broken-rules/">Broken Rules</a>' Old Man’s Journey receives a playscore of 8.48.</p>

<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/guns-of-boom/" title="Guns of Boom Online PvP Action on Android">Guns of Boom</a></h2>

<p>What's in a name? Apparently not much when it comes to one of the shining gems of today's FPS generation.

Decimate your opponents in an all-new game mode called "Capture the points", which plays like a King of the Hill game.

Use your <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/strategy/">strategic wits</a> to outsmart the competition. Get under cover, or flank them from behind.</p>

<p>It's a great <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/casual/">game for casuals</a> and veterans alike. And the best part is, it's <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/free/">all free</a>! It has a playscore of 8.54.</p>

But unlike the others, Flipping Legend boasts a well-implemented <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/rpg/">RPG</a> upgrade system, as well as an unconventional movement style that definitely adds to the fun. Zigzag and jump back through its treacherous trails like a deadly combination of chess and cha-cha. Sure, it's weird, but it makes so much sense once you get the feel of it.</p>

<p>Navigate through the map as Ninja, Mage, or Ranger and more, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/fighting/">kill off the enemies</a> in your way with a barrage of powerful kicks, spells, and attacks.

<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/the-mummy-dark-universe-stories/" title="The Mummy Dark Universe on iOS">The Mummy Dark Universe Stories</a></h2>

<p>The first among many remade classic monsters, The Mummy was not the box office hit we were expecting it to be. Thankfully, with this movie tie-in, the true glory of the their Dark Universe will leave a better impression on fans worldwide.

<p>Similar to their previous atmospheric hits, the game is an episodic venture. For those planning to watch the movie, it might be wise to avoid this for a while.It starts off after the events of the film, following protagonist Nick Morton as he goes on his usual globe-trotting escapades. Decode ancient spellbooks, lift evil curses, and uncover mysteries throughout its artistic comic-book visuals. There's currently 12 chapters to indulge, with developers promising to release more in the coming months.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the game is haunted by looming in-app purchases. Operating under a ticket system, it's either you wait six hours after every chapter, or pay up. With clever dialog and stylish visuals, it receives a playscore of 6.87</p>

<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/prison-architect-mobile/" title="Prison Architect: Mobile on iOS">Prison Architect: Mobile</a></h2>

<p>No, this isn't another prison escape game. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Putting you on the other side of the coin, Prison Architect is a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/simulation/" title="List of Simulation games for iPhone and iPad">simulation game</a> that lets you create your very own maximum security prison. Yeah, it's a pretty far-fetched idea, it's a miracle someone thought of it. Making its debut on the PC last 2015, it has been met with wide acclaim as it fuses the dark themes of prison-life with the comical complexities of its management.</p>
 
<p>Published by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/paradox-interactive/" title="Paradox Interactive">Paradox Interactive</a>, Introversion Software delves into this strange simulation subject that lets you oversee the creation of the prison from the building of the very first walls.

<h2>12. PES 2017 -PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER-</h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/konami/" title="Konami">Konami</a>'s annual football game is squaring off with EA Sport's <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/fifa-mobile-football/" title="FIFA Mobile Football on IOS">FIFA</a> in the mobile hemisphere. Although FIFA has been winning the console game for years, it looks like PES finally has the upper hand with its well-executed port to the mobile that's miles ahead of EA's FIFA Mobile.</p>

<p>Making use of the same engine as their console games, it offers its players a smoother gaming experience. The road to the premier league is made even better with realistic ball controls, satisfying passes, and a responsive virtual interface. Side by side with FIFA's clunkier controls and money-making schemes, it still proves itself worthy of the attention.</p>

<p>However, if there's one thing that brings PES down, it's the lack of respectable licenses compared to FIFA's long list of acquired teams and badges. While you might be forced to to play using fictional teams and players, the game's overall polish and flair still makes it one of the best mobile football experience with a playscore of 7.3.</p>

But alas the road to victory isn't as clear this time, with their Dynamic Weather system bringing you rain, sleet, and storm to challenge your skills.</p>

<p>While it's a perfectly serviceable game with great presentation, reviewers have criticized its lack of originality and ridiculous progression system that's haunted many of Gameloft's games. For that, it receives a playscore of 7.31.</p>

<p>Its fighting mechanics has been based on Marvel vs Capcom 2, which might explain its many similarities--such as tag-team battles, character assists, and combos.

Culminating everything you loved from the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/platformer/">arcade platformer</a>, Nexon puts a modernized twist to the beloved game.</p>

<p>Another example of videogame as art, take a trip into the mind memory of a wizened old man as he steps out of his humble home and into a grand adventure. For those who enjoy a visually pleasing and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/adventure/">enjoyable adventure game</a>, this just might be the perfect fit. Weave through its gorgeous, hand-drawn styles, and into the man's poignant memories.</p>

<p>As he sets out for his journey, guide the old man past an increasingly complicated arrangement of mountains and hills, and fulfill a mysterious quest. It plays almost like the stories of Marcel Proust, as you encounter events, interact with your environments, and trigger remembrance with each step.</p>

<p>Along with the strong artstyle, its charming animations also make a pretty good job of drawing you in. But, one common criticism about this <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/broken-rules/">Broken Rules</a>' game is its occasional dip in pace, with sequences that drag on for just a minute too long. But in these moments, its gorgeous visuals gladly take the fall. Delightful, and endlessly engaging. It receives a playscore of 8.3.</p>

While the Brazilian studio had its share of copyright disputes with Saban when it first arrived on kickstarter, that's all hopefully behind them. Since its debut, it's remarkably arranged pixels has brought happiness to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/rpg/">tactical RPG</a> fans across the globe.</p>

<p>Play as a humble team of stunt actors who left their jobs to create their very own Tokusatsu company. Your job is to establish your own TV show. Behind the scenes, you're tasked with hiring actors into the show, and assigning them with special powers and traits. Once the stage is set, though, you'll have to battle the monsters for yourself. For your actors, another stage is just another day in the studio, with their performance in the battles set as measures for your show's ratings.</p>

<p>Fight baddies with all you've got, create the best show, and gain fans across the nation. Despite its lush animations, and enjoyable gameplay, Chroma Squad is unfortunately a very short game. Hopefully, that'll change soon because it has a playscore of 8.32.</p>
