7 PS4 Games You’ll Love Playing Alone

7 PS4 Games You’ll Love Playing Alone

Know what is great about the PlayStation 4? It not only is a good system if you have friends. If you want to play offline or go it alone, you have tons of options. In fact, some of the games here are so good and legendary, they may even be considered some of the best solo games of all time. So go ahead and turn off your phones. Take time for yourself. Play some of these games and enjoy some me-time with your favorite console.

Astro Bot: Rescue Mission

Astro Bot: Rescue Mission

Want to feel like you’re making a difference in the world? Play Astro Bot: Rescue Mission. This game has players helping save little robots who are scattered around worlds. You get to be in the moment with these little characters, guiding one through 3D levels. It is the finest PlayStation VR platformer to date and is definitely worth playing. It might even worth getting the peripheral for this.

Tetris Effect

Tetris Effect

People might think of Tetris as a multiplayer game, since most installments allow you to play against another person or other people. But Tetris Effect, for the PlayStation VR, is an entirely solo experience. This puzzle game is all about enjoying the moment, savoring its music, and doing your best to keep up when the going gets tough. It becomes more of a mental game than ever before. Plus, it is very good in VR.

Valkyria Chronicles 4

Valkyria Chronicles 4

Ready to be a tactician? There’s no one else you can count on in the battlefield. In Valkyria Chronicles 4 , everyone’s lives are in your hands. I mean, Claude and the rest of Squad E are behind enemy lines, in winter, with all of the odds stacked against them. But you can make a difference! You can get to know the people in your crew with Squad Stories! You can help turn the tides of war, and you’ll do it all by yourself.

Persona 5

Persona 5

JRPGs have always been great solo experiences, and Persona 5 is one of the best ones of the eighth console generation. It is also currently a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Getting to join up with a group of outcasts to right wrongs in the world is so much fun, especially since they are trying to keep these identities secret. Oh, and maintain their daily lives as high schoolers too. Geez, things are complicated for kids these days.

God of War

God of War

The PlayStation 4’s God of War is a more intimate experience. While Kratos is still as strong as ever, he is more tempered. His tale is more personal. A man and his son are carrying out their deceased wife/mother’s request. Things come up along the way, and we get to watch them tackle it and grow together as they do. It is touching, and getting to go through this adventure by yourself lets you better connect with the characters.

Marvel’s Spider-Man

Marvel’s Spider-Man

While Spider-Man has sometimes been a part of teams, occasionally working with groups like the Fantastic Four and Avengers, he is largely a lone wolf. Of course Marvel’s Spider-Man would tap into that. Soaring through Manhattan alone really hammers home how much this one man is capable of. Though, we do get segments where other characters get their chance in the spotlight. But even then, the game is good at letting us see what one person experiences and connect with them.

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn gives the PlayStation 4 what is essentially its The Legend of Zelda -like. This game has an incredible adventure, lore to discover, a likable protagonist, and excuses to explore without anyone bothering you. Aloy is on her own out there as she faces off against the machines, and you are too. Being isolated like that really helps you feel small and maybe even powerless against the colossal monsters ahead of you. It is a very good game that is good at cultivating its atmosphere.
