Best Cheap Games on PS4

PS5 is going to replace your favorite PS4 Pro in the coming holiday season. It is high time you play the best video games PS4 has to offer. Although PS4 is futureproofed at least for a couple of years yet it is will eventually go to oblivion. Therefore, you may not be able to get your hands on these classics in a few years.

Once again, there is a huge amount of games to choose from. There are big PS4 exclusive games such as Spiderman and God of War. Similarly, our list of classic PS4 games also includes third-party AAA titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and apocalypse games in the likes of Resident Evil: Biohazard and Doom.

1.    Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: $24 at Amazon

Assassin’ Creed is one of the most popular game franchises ever. The Assassin’ Creed Odyssey is the latest in the series of graphically stunning games with brilliant storylines. The Odyssey takes you back to the era of the Peloponnesian War. You can either take the role of Kassandra or Alexios to learn more about your history and discover its long-hidden secrets. At the same time, you are also a mercenary who has to navigate turbulent ancient Greece to survive.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey finds a place in our list of best cheap ps4 games for its stunning visuals. The story is fascinating and Kassandra and Alexios are exceptionally good heroes. Above all, the game allows you to traverse the heart of ancient Greece like never before. Similarly, you will never run out of content to play as the game story stretches over 100 hours.

2.    The Last of Us Remastered: $17.17 at Amazon

No other game has portrayed the true horrors of an apocalypse as The Last of Us. The touching tale of Ellie, Joel, and Zombies was fantastic on PS3 but the remastered edition offers even better visuals on PS4. Naughty Dogs dropped cliché cheerful treasure hunting adventures which are characteristic of the Uncharted Series this particular game.

The Last of Us Remastered has a considerably darker tone. All the characters have murky morals but you still end up loving them somehow. On top of that, the game environment is characterized by overgrown ruins which further imparts a much bleaker look and feel to the overall settings.

Almost everyone loves the Last of Us and we are pretty sure you would find its latest sequel The Last of US 2 equally darker yet riveting.

3.    Red Dead Redemption 2: $34 at Amazon

Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of the bestselling PlayStation 4 games in 2018. It provides a thrilling gaming experience by introducing a western open and gun-carrying world to the players. The main protagonist, Arthur Morgan, is an extremely exciting character to play. He is a gunslinger in the notorious Van Der Linde gang and he has to negotiate the evils and trials of the west which is constantly changing right before his eyes.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has interesting characters and an exciting story. It keeps you busy as you can partake in plenty of activities outside the main missions. It further has side quests and mini-games and as a result, you spend a lot of hours playing this game without even realizing it. Above all, you can play with a team of players online as well. 

4.    Horizon Zero Dawn: $17.37 at Amazon

Horizon Zero Dawn has filled the void which was empty due to lack of a true first-party-open-world game. The game has given much needed boost to Sony in addition to offering an exhilarating gaming experience to players. Horizon Zero Dawn takes you to a roller-coaster ride through an astonishing, detail-rich, and huge world.

You play the part of Aloy who hunts massive robot dinosaurs inhabiting a beautiful prehistoric post-apocalyptic world. Horizon Zero Dawn enables you to enjoy Jurassic Park, Asimovian sci-fi epic, and 10,000 B.C. under one roof.

Apart from the main campaign, which is pretty sprawling in its own right, you can also play the Frozen Wild DLC in which Aloy travels to the Cut, the land of the frozen wastes and home to the Banuk Tribe. You have to pay an additional fee to enter the Frozen Wilds but it is worth the money as it further accentuates an already brilliant PS4 game.

Don’ worry if you can’t get enough of Aloy as Sony is going to release Horizon Zero Dawn 2 very soon.

5.    Bloodborne: $17.36 at Amazon

Bloodborne is perhaps the most aesthetically interesting game set in the quasi-industrial era. It is not an easy game. It can get infuriating difficult at times but its eerie Victorian aesthetics and action-oriented RPG combat outshine any or all the problems this game may have.

You, as a player, have to exhibit some degree of patience while playing this game. The game is set on a hidden difficulty mode righto out of the box. Similarly, there are no helpful text pop-ups as you find in the games like Call of Duty and Battlefield. Victory is not possible unless you patiently watch your enemy and learn their attach patterns. Subsequently, you have to attack at the right moment yourself. Last but not least, the game has faultless melee combat which you have to survive as well.

However, Bloodborne is increasingly popular among players exactly for this reason. You get more than the effort you put into the game. The victory is always sweet and all the more rewarding when you outwit your enemies after waiting for hours and going through a lot of trouble.

6.    Battlefield 1: $18 at Amazon

No list of best cheap PS4 games is complete without Battlefield 1. It is also one of the best shooting games for PS4 you can currently play. The game is a very good alternative to Call of Duty although the earlier is better in my opinion. It takes us all the way back to World War One and revitalizes the franchise which was going to the pieces at one time.

What separates Battlefield 1 from the modern shooting games is its historical settings. However, all the level designs, vehicles, and weapons feel fresh and ready to use. In a nutshell, the game portrays the brutality and chaos of the war in the most poignant manner possible.

The battlefield 1 is applauded for setting a new standard for first-person shooter games. You become part of an entertaining but distressing single-player campaign which is further divided into six sections. Each section has a different story, front line location, and character. The setting is always new and the campaign is never repetitive and dull.

You can also incorporate a single-player campaign seamlessly in the multiplayer mode. The change in settings imparts a necessary breath of life to an already familiar environment.

Battlefield 1 revived an increasingly stagnating series. The game is entertaining and somewhat emotional with stunning graphics and gameplay.

7.    Grand Theft Auto V: $21 at Amazon

Grand Theft Auto V is the best all in one game for PS4. It is the best tennis game and a pretty good golf sim. Similarly, it is an awesome racing game as well. On top of that, it is the best virtual yoga game without any doubt. It can even double as Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) game as well.

The game has nothing to compare with the Grand Theft Auto. It has an amazingly realistic looking city which you see with the perspectives of Franklin, Trevor, and Michael.

You can play three games within a game. The Rockstar game introduces you to Trevor who is a maniacal rampage killer. You realize that he is in all of the humans while playing the game. Franklin is a very smart character with a classic rag to riches storyline. Michael, on the other hand, is a troubled criminal who lives a violent life. He also has a dysfunctional family and a pot belly to show for his problems.

You can also play free online multiplayer mode which is fantastic, to the say the least. You can use this mode to give vent to your chaotic abilities. In short, GTA 5 is a behemoth of a game which is a flight sim, a third-person action with an excellent story, and a multiplayer paradise. It is the best game not only for the current generation but for the previous one as well. It is truly one of the best cheap games for PS4.

8.    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard: $24.95 at Amazon

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard follows two very popular and successful Revelation games. These three games brought the franchise back to its survival roots. Just like Revelation games, you have to use your wits and hunt to survive in a derelict mansion infested by Zombies. However, Biohazard discards the sloppy controls and flimsy third-person camera of the earlier games in favor of a first-person perspective. 

In purely Resident Evil manner, you have to solve puzzles while exploring the mansion as Ethan Winters. At the same time, you have to fight “Molded” a new humanoid enemy. Not to mention, you must cope with the deranged Baker family to survive. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is indeed one of the best PS4 survival horror games you can currently play.

9.    Yakuza 0: $15.44 at Amazon

Yakuza was first released for PS2. The gangster game has several installments since then but none has been as successful as Yakuza 0. It was this particular game that allowed the franchise to taste huge success, especially in the West. It is a prequel to the first Yakuza game. Set in the 1980s, it is your job to beat rival gangsters as Kiryu, the main protagonist, and make your way up the hierarchy of Japan’s underworld.

Apart from the main mission, you can also take part in several side missions and activities. Yakuza 0 became the highest-rated game of all time in the series and a smash hit for several reasons. It has hours and hours of stuff to explore. Similarly, it has a wacky sense of humor, compelling and likable characters, and terrific gameplay. Yakuza 0 offers exhilarating gaming experience to people who are playing the game for the first time as well those who are already a fan of it. It is also the best time to become a gangster as the game is available only for $20.

10. Fallout 4: $15.49 at Amazon

Fallout has been one of the coolest games ever in the world. Every new entry in the franchise manages to exceed our expectations even though it is the longest-running gaming franchise and Fallout 4 is no exception. You have total freedom to hunt and fight your way across a huge open world. The game is set in an alternative universe where a nuclear war has turned the earth into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

You, as a protagonist, have miraculously survived Vault III. Unfortunately, you are the only one who survived and now you are on your own. You have to survive and thrive in the United States which is no more than a radioactive ruin. Therefore, you have to do everything necessary to navigate the tribulations and misfortunes which will come your way. You can also build your own base, hone your skills, join factions, and customize your characters. The opportunities are endless.

Summing up, Fallout 4 offers one hell of PS4 gaming experience to players and this is the main reason for its popularity.

11. Doom: $14.99 at Amazon

Not many people expected to play a new Doom game. Doom has been around for decades and this particular franchise created an entire genre. It was difficult for the new installment to live up to the expectations but it did. It exceeded hopes and garnered immense popularity throughout the world. As such, it also received critical acclaim and sold like hotcakes.

The latest Doom stays true to its roots by throwing you the player, into a spiraling frenzy of chaos and slaughter. You play a stranded space marine who has to combat the armies of hell alone. Doom offers heart-pounding First Person Shooter action and stunning next-generation graphics. Above all, you can get the game for just $17. It is also available for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.

12. Until Dawn: $16.99 at Amazon

If you have an appetite for the macabre, this is the game to play. It is a PlayStation 4 exclusive which takes you to the frozen mountains of Canada. The premise is very familiar that is a group of teenagers decides to spend a night in an old cabin. However, their joy soon turns into misery when a maniacal psychopath bent on murdering each one of them starts his operation. The players have to survive or escape until dawn by making hard choices and employing everything they can think of.

Until Dawn is a terrific survival horror cum suspense game that keeps you on edge of your seat while you are playing. On top of that, the game is available only for $15 at the moment.

13. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy: $20 at Amazon

The beloved Uncharted Series of Indiana Jones-wannabe culminated with the release of Uncharted 4. Fortunately for die-hard Uncharted fans, there is a spin-off sequel in which heroines Nadine Ross and Chloe Frazer continue their treasure-seeking missions.

The Lost Legacy manages to offer the same quality, action, suspense, and thrill which Uncharted 4 and previous games in the franchise provide. It is considerably shorter than previous versions but it still has a fantastic story and breathtaking action sequences you expect from Uncharted game.

14. Titanfall 2: $12.50 at Amazon

Titanfall 2 finds its well-deserved place on our list of the best cheap ps4 games. Unlike Call of Duty, where you have to tiresomely camp at the same place, you can pilot your machine against giant mech suits. The protagonist, which will be you, also has unbelievable abilities such as turning invisible and wall running to name the few. Similarly, you can still join the overbearing warzone with a bang even if you have to eject from your machine.

Titanfall multiplayer is indeed a treat to play. However, you can also take part in a 6 hours long campaign which has a very earnest story with exceptionally good joyride. No many FPS games can make you emotional.

15. Batman Arkham Knight: $16.95 at Amazon

Batman Arkham Knight is a very good game, much to the surprise of many people. Gotham is a shining city with neon lights piercing through mist and rain. The city becomes a dazzling background but you realize it needs help by having just a glimpse of it. Similarly, the developers have taken care of many individual elements with remarkable flair and precision.

However, what distinguishes Arkham City from other games is the excellent acting, fascinating soundtracks, and great animations. All these things make it difficult for the Arkham Knight to take even a single misstep. All in all, Batman Arkham Knight is one of the best batman games ever.

16. God of War: $18 at Amazon

God of War was the most highly anticipated game of 2018 and it did not let anybody down. It is a PS4 exclusive with an engrossing and heartfelt story. God of War rejuvenates and refreshes a decaying franchise by shifting focus from Greek to North mythology. Kratos is a father with a compelling story. The game focuses strongly on narrative. Similarly, it has revamped the weapons and combat as well.

Once again, the most amazing thing about the God of War is the emotions and a genuine story. It is also the best game in the series and you should not miss it if you want to play the best cheap PS4 games.

19. Marvel’s Spider-Man: $21.99 at Amazon

Marvel’s Spider-Man is hands down the best comic-based video game for PS4 ever. It always feels amazing to swing the web across the entire city while flying high amidst skyscrapers. What makes Spider-Man such as exciting yet emotional journey is that the game shows two sides of the same person, the self-sacrificing savior of the city Spider-Man and affable Peter Parker.

21. The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt: $19.99 at Amazon

Although the game is just above $20 yet it deserves a mention especially after the extremely popular first season of the Witcher on Netflix. The game has also gained massive popularity after the release of the show. That is why it is also among the best cheap PS4 games.

It is a very interesting yet weird game at the same time. After all, who wants to get acquainted with a lot of ugly children or have sex on a unicorn? But, this is what you will do in The Witcher 3.
