10. Zero Escape: The Nonary Games Visual Novels have come a long way and the
Zero Escape series is a testament to the creativity of the interactive genre. Developed by Spike
Chunsoft, the Nonary Games is a bundle that comes with a remastered version of 999 and
Virtue’s Last Reward.
For the price of one, you get to experience two of Zero Escape’s famed titles. Both
games are packed with a massive branching storyline with multiple endings, and features
the same ‘Escape the Room’ mechanic that the series was known for.
This remaster not only brings the 3DS classic to the PlayStation 4 console, but it also
introduces a bunch of quality of life improvements that makes every living hell for these survivors
bearable.
One of these upgrades include a fancy dual screen mode for 999 which is akin to the 3DS
version. This is helpful for new fans when solving puzzles and making decisions that
might end up killing their favorite character. It’s a twisted and complicated game and
it doesn’t stop until you’ve reached the endgame.

9. The Walking Dead Collection - The Telltale Series
Telltale’s most popular series paved the way for games with Episodic formats. Clementine’s
journey will forever be cemented as one of gaming’s most iconic moments
It’s set in the zombie-infested world of Robert Kirkman’s gritty undead drama. Lead
Clementine in her journey of self-discovery in a society bereft of humanity. Throughout
her adventure, you’ll meet an intriguing cast of characters ranging from the trustworthy
partner to the homicidal maniac. Your choices will impact the game’s ending and Clem’s
personality.
In this Collection, enjoy the early days of Clem with the iconic Lucas Lee in Season One
and make your way to its succeeding seasons and extra content for only $50.
This includes A New Frontier, 400 Days, and the Michonne mini-series. The only downside
to this collection is the missing final season, which was released after Telltale’s unfortunate
bankruptcy. Nonetheless, it’s still an emotional trip worth reliving OR playing for the first
time.

8. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Naughty Dog’s very own Naughty Dog returns
to the PlayStation 4 console with overhauled visuals and a bunch of new content.
This Collection contains three of the Tasmanian Devil’s hit titles with new and improved
graphics. You will no longer be looking at polygonal characters. The world of Crash Bandicoot
now looks like a game fit for this generation. The addition of quality of life improvements
are also present such as audio and voice acting polish, checkpoints to ease your frustrations,
and time trials for a real challenge.
The only thing that was kept from the original was its challenging platformer experience.
Expect hair-pulling moments on all three of its titles, each one breaking apart your sanity.
It’s the Dark Souls of Remasters and what could be better than that? A playscore of

moments.

collection. For the uninitiated, the Phoenix Wright series is a combination of multiple
genres including visual novel and point and click set in the four-walls of justice.

and even a childhood friend. Each suspect offers a variety of challenges for you to
solve with logical precision and once it’s all done, the satisfying sound of ‘Objection!’
makes you crave for more.
It’s the perfect entry point for new fans of the series, especially to non-Nintendo
users. A playscore of 8.75
6. Spyro Reignited Trilogy Much like Crash Bandicoot, another childhood
favorite makes its way to the modern consoles. The classic platformer from Activision rekindles
the old flames of its series with improved visuals and gameplay all thanks to the Unreal
Engine 4’s power.
The titular dragon still has everything he needs in this upscaled HD adventure and this
trilogy doesn’t disappoint. For only $40, it lets you experience the best version of
Spyro’s three enchanting titles.
Like any other Remaster, aside from its graphical upgrades, new audio and voice lines will greet
you as you make your way through its expansive realms. And with all that, this Collection
was hailed by critics and gamers for its faithful reimagining of the PlayStation classic.

5. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Borderlands 3 may be out for quite some time
now, and it’s hella fun, but nothing could beat the previous entries of this insane first
person shooter from Gearbox. This collection packs two of their most beloved games except
the original. That means Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel are inside one glorious and
handsome collection.

and added content. Enjoy all their DLC’s, smooth visual upgrade and 60 frames per second
on your fancy 4K display.
With all these in store, your adventure into this dangerously crazy world is better than
ever. Grab a friend or do things alone, but it's always fun when you’re with a crew
that’s as insane as you are. It’s Borderlands we’re talking about, it's always fun with
friends.

4. BioShock: The Collection There’s always a man, a lighthouse, and
a city. And there’s always a Remaster and a Collection waiting to happen. Irrational’s
award-winning first-person-shooter series gets the all-in-one package for your PlayStation
4.
Revel in the horrifying yet grand underwater city of Rapture in the Remastered versions
of BioShock 1 and 2; or soar into the city above the clouds with Infinite’s Colombia.

In this Collection, you’re not only given their three best titles. All DLC’s including
2’s Minerva’s Den and Infinite’s Burial At Sea are also available for you to enjoy.

For anyone who hasn’t played this series before, would you kindly? A playscore of 8.89
3. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Tetsuya Nomura’s playground of imagination.
The Kingdom Hearts series is known for its interesting crossover between Final Fantasy
and Disney. It’s such an ambitious series that to this day, Sora’s journey might not
be over yet.
This Collection contains all the necessary Kingdom Hearts titles for you to play. If
you think the mainline entries like Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 are enough to understand the
entirety of its story, you’re wrong.
You are literally taking all the 6 Kingdom Hearts games since 2002 in one pack. All in
glorious High-Definition. Unfortunately, this doesn’t include Aqua’s 2.8, Dream Drop
Distance and its infamous mobile game story, KH X.
It’s the perfect game for you to get inside this convoluted yet beautiful series before
you get your hands on Kingdom Hearts III. A playscore of 8.93
2. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Nathan Drake’s journey may be over, but
it’s always great to relive his best globetrotting moments before his retirement. The Collection
includes all three Uncharted titles with a few improvements to the action-adventure experience
such as the additions of trophies, a photo mode, and challenging difficulty choices.
It’s the ultimate test of your hardened adventurer skills and what could be more fitting
than its HD graphics and better audio to suit your gaming blockbuster needs.
The story remains the same on all three titles, but going back on the epic journey of Nathan
and his friends is something special, especially after Uncharted 4’s emotional ending.
Greatness from small beginnings, so they say, and this Collection has everything for you
to go back and witness Naughty Dog’s and Nathan Drake’s humble beginnings up to their
defining moment in gaming history.

1. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Reigning supreme in this list of great PlayStation
4 Collections is Square Enix’s JRPG that once melted our hearts and ready to do it
again. Return to Zanarkand in this HD remaster covers both Final Fantasy X and its sequel,
Final Fantasy X-2.
Join Tidus, Yuna, and their gang of memorable characters as they band together to put a
stop to the entity responsible for ruining their world. There isn’t much difference
compared to the original game aside from the visual upgrades. However, what made this Remaster
worth considering is the addition of its sequel, X-2, which features Yuna and his girls in
a whole new journey.
Though both games differ in terms of storytelling and reception, this Collection is still a
strong reminder of Square’s glory days in the JRPG scene. If you’re into the mushy
love story between Tidus and Yuna, or simply adore its fascinating cast of characters,
you won’t be disappointed.
