So, if you’re a fan of both the PS4 and arcade games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#10. Velocibox
- Release Data: Shawn Beck/LOOT Entertainment, 2015
- Genre: Action » Arcade
Velocibox walks that fine line between incredibly frustrating and frustratingly replayable.
It is unforgiving and brutal in its design; but addictive at the same time.
This game is not for the faint of heart, or those that have slower than lightening fast reactions.
But if you crave a simple, fast-paced and demanding challenge, then this game may be right up your alley.
#9. Entwined
- Release Data: Pixel Opus/SCEA, 2014
- Genre: Action » Arcade
A gorgeous art style is complemented by an exquisite soundtrack and tight controls, which culminates in one of the best PS4 arcade titles to date.
The game’s occasional lack of identity prevents it from receiving the very top marks, but don’t let that put you off this romantic release.
#8. BRAWL
- Release Data: Bloober Team, 2015
- Genre: Action » Arcade
The game is unforgiving when it comes to the AI, and some players can learn from this while others will be destroyed constantly, which is unfortunate.
With some tweaking here and there and adding difficulty levels, BRAWL could be amazing.
Taking the game as it is, however, this title could be the right choice if you’re having friends at your place.
#7. Battlezone
- Release Data: Rebellion/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2016
- Genre: Action » Arcade
In the end, Battlezone is an incredible VR experience.
It’s enough of a full-featured tank simulator that it would be a great time played with standard controls on a normal television, but the perfect immersion takes that already-great play and elevates it to something truly special.
#6. Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure
- Release Data: Reign Bros, 2016
- Genre: Action » Arcade
Overall, Stikbold! is fun to play with friends and family with its easy to learn controls and fast paced nature, but the game becomes a slog when playing by yourself during the story mode.
If you enjoy dodgeball or want a good game to play with others, check out this funny title.
#5. Pac-Man Championship Edition 2
- Release Data: Bandai Namco Games, 2016
- Genre: Action » Arcade
At the end of the day, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is a solid sequel that suffers from trying to add too much to a formula that was almost perfect.
However, if you’re a fan of the previous title, then you’ll find a lot to like in this one, and newcomers should find it an accessible place to start.
#4. Pix the Cat
- Release Data: Pasta Games, 2014
- Genre: Action » Arcade
Overall, Pix the Cat is an interesting game, and will definitely be fun for anyone looking for a simple title with a decent amount of replay value, especially, if you try out its 4-player local multiplayer, which lets each person hatch their own string of ducklings and try to take out the opposition by cornering them off.
#3. Overcooked!
- Release Data: Ghost Town Games Ltd./Team 17, 2016
- Genre: Action » Arcade
The simplicity of the controls and gameplay make it extremely accessible, while there is still plenty of challenge in the later, crazier kitchens.
Working together effectively with a few friends feels fantastic, and even when things get a bit heated, it’s all part of the fun.
If you’re looking for a lighthearted couch co-op game, Overcooked! definitely fits the bill.
#2. Pac-Man 256
- Release Data: HIPSTER WHALE/Bandai Namco Games, 2016
- Genre: Action » Arcade
There’s a very good chance that Pac-Man 256 will become your new guilty pleasure when you want a break from the bigger titles.
The premise is as simple as can be, but there are enough changes here to make things intriguing.
Most importantly, the sessions are short enough that you can spend a few minutes with it and be done.
#1. Overcooked! 2
- Release Data: Ghost Town Games Ltd./Team 17, 2018
- Genre: Action » Arcade
Overcooked! 2 takes everything you know and love about the first game and kicks it up a notch to make a more satisfying and plentiful sequel.
The new dishes are great, and the new throwing mechanic greatly enhances the overall Overcooked experience.
Experienced players will find a lot to love here, while newcomers can enjoy its simple design and pick-up-and-play controls.
