"God of War Ragnarok"

"God of War: Ragnarok" continues the epic saga of Kratos, the once "God of War," and his young son Atreus as they traverse the challenging, myth-rich world of Norse mythology. In this sequel, they're faced with the prophesied event of Ragnarok, the ultimate destruction of the Norse gods and their world.

This sequel to the 2018 PlayStation 4 title expands on its predecessor by allowing players to take up the mantle of Kratos as well as Atreus, with an engrossing narrative spread across several realms. It's a meaningful tale for fans of the original game that runs with what made that release special in the first place, and a can't miss game for "God of War" fans in general.

Rated 4.8 stars on Amazon.

"Gran Turismo 7"

Players can race a wide variety of cars, from classic models to cutting-edge supercars, on renowned real-world tracks and graphically impressive fictional circuits.

In addition to traditional racing, there are options to explore the history of the various cars in-game, practice tracks, and extensive customization. There are a dizzying amount of milestones to meet as well as in-game currency to collect to eventually unlock all of the available vehicles as well.

Rated 4.6 stars on Amazon.

"Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition"

"Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales" is a gripping comic-centric adventure that follows the journey of Miles Morales, a teenager who must step into the shoes of Spider-Man and protect his home of Harlem, New York. When a war between an energy corporation and a high-tech criminal army erupts, Miles learns to embrace his new powers and becomes his own version of Spider-Man.

This is an expansion of the original "Marvel's Spider-Man", which is actually included with this package, so this deal is an exceptional one. With the full sequel, "Marvel's Spider-Man 2", on the horizon, it's the perfect time to get caught up with this game before diving in and getting to know Peter's struggle with the Venom Symbiote -- this game and its predecessor are required playing for that title.

Rated 4.8 stars on Amazon.

"The Last of Us Part I"

"The Last of Us Part I" is a remake of the groundbreaking action-adventure game that originally debuted on PlayStation 3. It's also the inspiration behind the popular TV series from HBO of the same name. It takes players on an emotionally-charged journey through a post-apocalyptic world. Players control Joel, a hardened survivor, who is tasked with escorting a young girl named Ellie across a United States ravaged by a fungal infection that turns people into monstrous creatures.

This is the best way to experience the original game, as it reboots the PlayStation 3 version with updated and improved textures, animations, and gameplay tweaks to make it the definitive version. Plus, it's a great gateway into the sequel, "The Last of Us Part II", which is one of the most harrowing experiences you can have on the system, by far.

Rated 4.8 stars on Amazon.

"Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut"

"Ghost of Tsushima" is an open-world action-adventure game set in the late 13th century during the Mongol invasion of Tsushima Island in Japan. Players step into the shoes of Jin Sakai, a samurai who must abandon his honor-bound traditions to protect his home. Embracing unconventional warfare and becoming the Ghost, he fights for the freedom of Tsushima.

Those interested in traditional samurai cinema will immediately be drawn to this game, which features action-packed swordplay, challenging stealth segments, and gorgeous visuals. It can be likened to a Kurosawa film, with a similarly intense narrative that you'll want to see through to the end.

Rated 4.8 stars on Amazon.
