Top PlayStation Games of 2024: Metacritic’s Best

2024 brought a mix of hits and misses for PlayStation. While first-party exclusives were scarce, third-party titles shined, offering diverse genres.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Stellar Blade stood out as PS5 exclusives (coming to PC in 2025). Other standouts included Metaphor: ReFantazio (GameSpot’s Game of the Year), Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and Silent Hill 2. Even some former Xbox exclusives made their way to PlayStation, expanding the platform’s offerings with the release of the PS5 Pro.

Metacritic’s top games reveal a player preference for JRPGs, puzzle games, and metroidvanias.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Building upon the original, Shadow of the Erdtree offers a refined and enhanced adventure. It invites players to explore a captivating new realm.
