Ranking All 32 PS4 Exclusives of 2016 So Far

32. Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is a take on the classic soccer games you may remember from way back in time. Unfortunately it misses its mark and is the lowest rated PS4 exclusive on Metacritic right now.

31. Umbrella Corps

Set after the events of Resident Evil 6, players join different corporations seeking the secrets of the Umbrella Corporation. This pits them against other mercenaries as well as zombies as they fight to uncover everything Umbrella has hidden. Unfortunately, the idea, while good on paper, didn't exactly translate well. It completely disregards what made Resident Evil so great, and has very little in terms of content to keep players engaged for long. It's the only PS4 exclusive that has released in 2016 to a red rating on Metacritic.

30. Shadwen

Shadwen is a stealth action game that squeezes a lot of potential into a small package. Unfortunately it isn't without its bugs, and the level design is lacking.

29. Dungeons II

Dungeons II is a strategy in which you play as the Ultimate Evil who is tired of the Overworld being all happy and abusing your minions. The narration can be pretty enjoyable, while the gameplay is serviceable but not exactly new.

28. Shadow of the Beast

Shadow of the Beast is a remake of a 1989 classic. While it captures a lot of what made that original so memorable, it doesn't do much else.

27. Rocketbirds 2: Evolution

If you enjoyed Rocketbirds: Hardboiled, then you're in for a treat as this sequel improves on just about everything from its predecessor. It's still lacking in the controls department though, even though it is an improvement, but you may find solace in its multiplayer mode.

26. Deadstar

Deadstar is a multiplayer space fighter that takes a little getting use to. The gameplay is reminiscent of Galak-Z, but you'll need to work with your team and choose the right balance of ships if you want to win in this PS4 exclusive.

25. Senran Kagura: Estival Versus

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus takes players to a mysterious island where they must battle hordes of other beautiful shinobi. It's a bit of an odd game, filled with over the top action, and questionable transformations.

24. Megadimension Neptunia VII

Megadimension Neptunia VII can be kind of confusing, but it's not a bad game. There are three stories going on in three different dimensions, and positioning of characters during battle is of the utmost importance. It can take a lot of getting used to, but underneath the rough surface is a solid experience worth checking out.

23. Amplitude

Amplitude is a classic rhythm game from Harmonix that combines cool visuals and fast gameplay to keep you engaged. The remake maintained a lot of the nostalgia that fans were hoping for, reigning the need to keep to the beat.

22. Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book

Atelier Sophie takes players on a journey as they try to restore a living book to its true form. It has beautiful visuals and its alchemy-based gameplay provide a steady stream of puzzles as you uncover the book's true story.

21. Stories: The Path of Destinies

Stories takes players through a world where animals rule and they're being governed by an evil king. While the story may not sound to original, the fun combat and multiple paths to complete missions, along with choices to make help to keep things interesting.

20. Push Me Pull You

It may look odd, and that's because it is. But the tension of playing against your friends as you try to hold a ball on the proper side of the court is more fun than it has any right to be. Don't worry, you'll eventually stop being creeped out by all of the stretching and contracting.

19. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

Digimon has changed a lot over the years, with each new game taking a new approach to the creatures and action that fans have grown to love. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth allows you to become a detective looking to help Digimon and save the real world along with the Digital World, and it looks great on the PS4.

18. Hitman Go: Definitive Edition

Hitman is the game you turn to when you want to try your hand at assassination but also want a challenge. While it's normally an open ended affair with you being able to freely move, Square Enix tried their hand at making it a turned-based puzzle game, and you know what? It worked.

17. Invisible, Inc.

Stealth is a game mechanic that isn't always nailed, but Invisible, Inc. gets it just right. Using a similar gameplay setup as X-COM, players use the turn-based format to commit acts of espionage. The randomly-generated levels and ease of learning help make this a strong indie in the PS4's solid library.

16. Score Rush Extended

Score Rush Extended is a bullet-hell shmups fan's dream. Several modes, updates to the original release that include the ability to control two ships at once, and more than enough reasons to keep pushing for a high score.

15. Downwell

Down well is an interesting game in which you shoot from your feet. It plays sort of like a classic scrolling shooter only with a bit more depth. With plenty of challenge and an interesting design, you may want to check this one out.

14. Alienation

Dead Nation proved to be a hit with players with its seemingly endless zombie slaying action, So Housemarque decided to give that addictive, challenging gameplay another go, only this time with more customization and aliens.

13. Firewatch

The wilderness of Wyoming can be rather beautiful. Its serene visuals are perfect for discovering one's self. Firewatch uses this setting to deliver a heart-wrenching story where your choices affect the outcome. The masterful delivery makes the fact that this is one of the PS4's best games of 2016 so far no surprise.

12. Grand Kingdom

Grand Kingdom is a Tactical-RPG set in a medieval fantasy world. Players use magic and swordplay while positioning themselves for victory in a battle of four powerful nations.

11. Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator

The latest version of Guilty Gear Xrd ups the ante with more fighters and even smoother action.

10. Enter the Gungeon

Dungeon crawling and bullet hell shoot-'em-ups are a match made in heaven. Enter the Gungeon is a platform exclusive indie that sends players on a quest to steal a gun that can kill the past. It's fun, fast-paced, and will test your skills through every step.

9. Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V did have its issues out of the gate, but it now stands as one of the best fighters out there. Sony grabbing this as a PS4 console exclusive was not a bad idea.

8. Gravity Rush Remastered

Sony took one of the best games on the PS Vita, cleaned it up, added a fresh coat of paint, and now PS4 owners can bask in its magnificence.

7. Day of the Tentacle

What do you do when a a purple tentacle monster tries to take over the world? You go on an adventure, of course. This remaster of the classic adventure game fits in perfectly with the PS4's lineup.

6. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered

Intense strategy in a fictional world based on World War II Europe? Sign us up.

5. MLB The Show 16

MLB The Show 16 is one seriously good baseball sim. SIE San Diego never cuts corners with this yearly release, and the series just keeps getting better with time.

4. Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir

Vanillaware couldn't just leave this amazing game in the past. With new visuals and features, Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is a must-have on the PS4.

3. Ratchet & Clank

Who would've thought that one of the greatest games on the PS2 would also be one of the greatest games on the PS4. The stunning visuals, humor, and intense action will leave Ratchet & Clank as one of the best games of the entire year.

2. The Witness

The Witness is every bit as intriguing as it is beautiful. This PS4 console exclusive will have you scratching your head at first, but those moments of discovery deliver some of the greatest feelings of elation this generation.

1. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Let's be honest for a moment, did you not expect Uncharted 4 to be at the top of this list? Naughty Dog outdid themselves once again to bring a fitting end to one of PlayStation's greatest series.
