#25. Knowledge is Power
- Release Data: Wish Studios/Sony Interactive Entertainment, 2017
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
While it’s not as unique or charming as its predecessor, Knowledge Is Power is a solid, fun quiz game for when you’ve got friends or family around.

#24. Batman: Return to Arkham
- Release Data: Rocksteady Studios/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Batman: Return to Arkham isn’t the greatest ever remaster, but it offers excellent value and the gameplay of both Asylum and City still hold up.
Couple two of the greatest superhero games of all time with their DLC, and you get a lot of bang for your buck here.
#23. Shenmue I & II
- Release Data: d3t Ltd/Sega, 2018
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Shenmue I & II divided players and critics on the Dreamcast, and will continue to do so on the PlayStation 4.

#22. Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
- Release Data: Capcom, 2017
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 has more variety than its predecessor due to the titles spanning both different systems and different decades.

This is another essential compilation for fans of the Blue Bomber.
#21. Armello
- Release Data: League of Geeks, 2015

Despite being a bit complex at times, Armello is excellent at maintaining your interest and offers plenty of guidance to improve your playing technique.

#20. Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood
- Release Data: Konami, 2018
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
With two brilliant retro games in one bundle, the gameplay in Castlevania Requiem is excellent.
The simplest way to recommend Castlevania Requiem is by acknowledging that it includes one of PSone’s best ever games, the frightfully superb Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
#19. Mega Man Legacy Collection
- Release Data: Digital Eclipse/Capcom, 2015
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
It may not have as many games as the decade-old Mega Man Anniversary Collection, but Legacy Collection is a much better effort when it comes to overall presentation and ensuring that each game is reproduced faithfully.
These conversions are spot-on in every regard, and the supplemental features augment the experience without sullying the purity of the original releases.
#18. Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection
- Release Data: Atlus, 2018
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Perhaps the best way to describe how infectious the cheer and simple fun in Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection is to reflect on how it stays with you after you put it down.
Hours or days later, you’ll find yourself tapping your foot to a song you played, and rather than just leaving it at that, a temptation emerges.
#17. Amnesia Collection
- Release Data: Frictional Games, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
The Amnesia series is one of the best horror franchises the medium has ever known. And the fact that the entirety of the series is available on the PS4 is a win.
The hide and seek gameplay holds up well, and while more could have been done with the visual presentation, the sound design is top-tier.
#16. The Disney Afternoon Collection
- Release Data: Capcom, 2017
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Objectively The Disney Afternoon Collection is quite the value and Capcom has given gamers quite the appetizing package, whether you’re familiar with Capcom’s retro Disney games or not.
Once again, the production values and accuracy of these emulations are second-to-none, but it’s the added features that makes this selection essential.
#15. Hand of Fate
- Release Data: Defiant Development, 2015
- Genre: Casual » Board / Card Game
Hand of Fate comes so close to being something really special – an unexpected innovation of genres and ideas that meshes together to create a really fun experience that’s both involving and rewarding, at least in short bursts.
But, unfortunately, its potential is cut short by a lack of options and awkward third-person game segments that should really know better.
#14. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
- Release Data: Capcom, 2019
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
This collection of three brilliant games is well worth the attention of adventure game fans, visual novel aficionados, or aspiring lawyers.
The mind-bending, complex murder plots are far-fetched but engaging, the writing is consistently concise and amusing, and the characters you’ll meet are charming and unique.
#13. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
- Release Data: Vicarious Visions/Activision, 2017
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Tough as nails but just as tight as you remember, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is a tasty trip down memory lane.
The visual upgrade is nothing short of spectacular, and while the design of these iconic platformers is firmly fixed in the 90s, they’re surprisingly playable today.
#12. Sportsfriends
- Release Data: Die Gute Fabrik, 2014
- Genre: Casual » Party / Minigame
Sportsfriends is a party game for the type of people that appear in Nintendo Wii commercials – but real-life is never quite that perfect.
As such, this is a fun package, but one that will rely on the right kind of investment from your buddies if it’s to become the life and soul of your social gathering.
#11. Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2
- Release Data: Capcom, 2018

A lot of love and care has been poured into this collection, allowing players of all skill levels to jump right in and enjoy.
#10. Hand of Fate 2
- Release Data: Defiant Development, 2017
- Genre: Casual » Board / Card Game
Hand of Fate 2’s mix of strategic planning, random chance, and meaty combat is both rewarding and addictive.
Fighting lacks complexity and doesn’t quite stand up to the eventual repetition, but this game within a game is still well worth your time overall.
#9. Spyro Reignited Trilogy
- Release Data: Toys for Bob/Activision, 2018
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy is another great remake from Activision.
The purple dragon’s original trio of adventures holds up brilliantly, with beautiful, colorful visuals and meticulously rebuilt levels.
Overall, this is a remake Spyro fans can be proud of, and a threesome of old-school 3D platformers that a new generation of players will come to love.
#8. Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster
- Release Data: Virtuos/Square Enix, 2015
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster on the PS4 is the best that the games have ever looked.
Sharp, crisp visuals bring the always enticing world of Spira to life on the big screen, while the core elements of both titles remain rock solid and impressively polished.
And if you’re totally new to the franchise, it’s a great starting point.
#7. BioShock: The Collection
- Release Data: 2K Games, 2016
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
BioShock: The Collection is the best way to experience the world of Rapture and Columbia.
Unfortunately, series veterans won’t find anything new, meaning that the visual upgrade and the convenience of having everything pulled into one package are the only reasons to return to games that you may have already experienced multiple times.
#6. Metro Redux
- Release Data: 4A Games/Deep Silver, 2014
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Metro Redux takes two popular post-apocalyptic affairs, and enhances them for the PS4.
These are more than just mere ports since both titles have been heavily reworked in order to feel fresh and new.
All in all, whether you’re new to the franchise or not, the abandoned underground has never looked this inviting.
#5. Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection
- Release Data: Capcom, 2018
- Genre: Casual » Compilation
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection does exactly what it says on the tin.
It’s a lovely collection of every single Street Fighter from the arcade original right up to Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

#4. Borderlands: The Handsome Collection
