The 40 Best Console-Exclusive Games of This Generation (PS4, Xbox One, and Switch)
In the gallery above, we rank the 40 highest-scoring games that appeared on only one of the three current generation hardware platforms (Sony's PlayStation 4, Microsoft's Xbox One, and Nintendo's Switch). Titles are ranked by their Metascores, which reflect the consensus views of professional game critics.
Games with fewer than 15 reviews are excluded, and expansions, DLC packs, and multi-game compilations are excluded as well. (But games still qualify if they are also available on prior-generation hardware, PC, or handheld/mobile devices—just as long as they appear on no more than one of the three major current consoles.)
Marvel's answer to the Batman: Arkham series, this 2018 PS4 exclusive from Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac Games proved that the superhero videogame genre was far from dead. A follow-up, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, is due in late 2020 for the new PS5 console.
“A joy from start to finish. It is not only one of the best games to be released this year, it is one of the defining games of a generation.” —Impulsegamer
