<h2>25. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/hawken/">Hawken</a></h2>

<p>It might be gone from the PC, but this free to play title is thankfully still serving Mech shooting action on the PlayStation 4. Playing like a blend of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/overwatch/">Overwatch</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-360/titanfall/">Titanfall</a>, take part in team-based PvP competition in any one of their hulking mechs. Size doesn't matter in this game, promising fast-paced action whatever type you choose. As a free to play title, you may encounter some microtransactions along the way as you choose the perfect mech to bring to the dystopian battlefield.</p> 

<p>It has a playscore of 7.35.</p>



<h2>24. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/trove/">Trove</a></h2>

<p>World of Minecraft, amirite? Kidding aside, Trove is a popular choice these days for bringing together voxel survival adventures together with classic MMORPG tropes. Play according to your chosen roles and fantasies and go on various quests around the vast, blocky universe. It's a world that's brimming with excitement--at least in short bursts. Criticized for being a little repetitive, it's still a fun free-to-play MMO you can enjoy with friends.</p>

<h2>23. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/h1z1-battle-royale/">H1Z1: Battle Royale</a></h2>

More importantly, though, let's be honest, it's free-to-play. A standalone entry from the H1Z1 experience, this Battle Royale game sticks true not just to the classic King of the Hill formula, but also to the look and feel that everyone fell in love with. If you're sick of fumbling to form a new fort, H1Z1's BR formula is a nice return to the vanilla experience.</p>
