Note: these 2002 titles predate the hardware — RAWG lists later ports and re-releases under the original release date.

PlayStation 4 is a home video game console launched in 2013 by Sony. There are currently three versions of the hardware variations: original console (also called "fat"); a slim version with optical audio output removed, weight and size reduced as well as USB interfaces differently placed; and Pro version with 4k and HDR support added and PS VR functions improved. PS4 supports VR with the special helmet called PS VR. The starting game lineup of the system is considered to be a one of the most successful in history. The console maintains the status of an exclusive-oriented platform with many remasters and Playstation-only games. Together with the start of the system, there was a multiplayer requirement introduced — now everyone seeking to play via PlayStation Network must have PS Plus active. It is a paid subscription granting the player 5 games per month for all three platforms.

Why some games have no rating

RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected 6 or more user votes. Below that it returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five “exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.

Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 1 of the 15 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.

Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward this set's mean of 3.74 in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists — 9 of these games have one.

Ranked 13 games with at least one vote

Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward this set's mean of 3.74 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.

Bars show how the votes split — Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip. A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a breakdown RAWG suppresses.
