“Top 10 Most Anticipated PlayStation Console Exclusives for PC Ports or Remakes by PlayGround.ru Users”

Years go by, and console wars are still relevant even at a time when, it would seem, the concept of “console exclusive” has practically disappeared due to the new policy of publishers, concentrating their attention on a wide choice of platforms for releasing a game, and not on signing an exclusive contract with Sony or Microsoft. However, there are still ardent PC fans, as well as their enemies who call themselves the console elite – both parties convince themselves year after year that they made the right choice.

Most likely, clashes and battles between PC and console fans will cease to be relevant only when publishers completely move away from the ideas of exclusivity of any kind of games, but at the moment there are still masterpiece exclusives that have not come into contact with the mice and keyboards of ordinary PC gamers .

Spoiler alert

On the ninth line is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart from the guys from Insomniac Games, who became famous for their excellent performance of the new gaming incarnation of the Spider-Man series. In Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, you have to travel through different realities and hunt an enemy who wants to destroy organic life in the universe. The game has non-trivial dialogues and charismatic characters – all of them are incredibly charming and enliven an already vibrant world. The animation and gameplay are great enough to take your breath away, and some of the plot twists are game-changing in a big way. Here you will find a lot of fun puzzles and beautiful levels, as well as nice and balanced bosses that are not so easy to pass.

In eighth place is the horror film Until Dawn, recognized by many as the reference modern horror that every self-respecting gamer should try. Many avid oldfags may be put off by the opening storyline, which is a banal trek of horny students into the depths of the forest, but there is great replay value in the game, especially if you kill a lot of people in your first playthrough and get the opportunity to review the stories of characters that you used to did not have. The game attracts many with its cinematic and dynamic gameplay, which together form a great duo that captivates until the end of the game. You become attached to the characters and sincerely fear for their safety, and even begin to love those whom you may initially hate. In the end, let’s just say the dry numbers – There are hundreds of endings that are the result of 22 important decisions that the player can make in the game.

The next in line of expected PC exclusives is the old inFamous: Second Son, which many may not remember due to their age – the game was released back in 2013 and will be a revelation for many, but not for our users, who have not forgotten about a crazy third-person action game that was accompanied by bright visual effects against the backdrop of a stylishly drawn city. Basically, this is a parkour simulator with magic – a win-win combo. The game is quite short and simple, but that’s why it can be a breath of fresh air even now, in 2023.

In sixth place is the racing simulator Gran Turismo Sport. The game has a huge list of realistic cars that sound and behave great on the road – the interior of the car is filled with many sounds, including engine sounds, transmission noise, exhaust sound, road noise, wind noise and much more. A special pleasure to drive in cab mode. And, in general, this is one of the best simulators in terms of driving a car. Gran Turismo Sport contains automatic driving features that leave brake control and maneuver assistance to artificial intelligence. Even those who get behind the wheel of a car for the first time will be able to drive a car with confidence.

In the middle of our top is the very unique neo-Victorian game The Order: 1886, which is, so to speak, an artifact of the gaming industry, because both in terms of plot and gameplay, the game is very unusual. In terms of plot, it’s a mixture of science fiction, mythology, fantasy and history, which is already very interesting. The game world is made in an alternative Victorian London of the 1880s, combining many historical eras. During the development of the game, special attention was paid to costumes, which were created with the help of professional costumers. The game is quite short and is more of a vibrant interactive story where you enjoy the visuals and aesthetics. Due to the fact that the game was poorly received by critics, it did not receive due attention and popularity, however, our users are not so simple and have not forgotten about this wonderful project, which is still a console exclusive.

The top four exclusives remain, which, among other things, keep the huge sales of the PlayStation – in fourth place is the game, which is a continuation of the adventure action Horizon: Zero Dawn. The sequel decided to change the appearance of the main character, which alarmed the entire gaming industry with a controversial decision, but this did not prevent the game from becoming very successful. Firstly, the world of Forbidden West is huge and definitely worth exploring – here you want to go through side quests, not because it is necessary, but because you want to. The game has stunning graphics, but it’s better to just say that the budget of Horizon: Forbidden West is an impressive $ 118 million, which is a lot – the game is one of the twenty most expensive game projects in the gaming industry. Thanks to the huge resources that the developers wisely invested, we got a triumphant combination of exciting battles, top-notch creature and character design, and an exciting open world.

We are moving to a quiet and strict Japan during the first Mongol invasion in 1274 – this historical period is told by the masterpiece game Ghost of Tsushima, which our users put in third place in the list of the most anticipated console exclusives on PC. The game is strikingly different in its historicity and authenticity from the usual depiction of Japan in the West. Ghost of Tsushima looks great, blending bamboo thickets and beautiful castles, has great samurai gameplay, and offers a well-thought-out story and colorful historical characters.

In a fierce struggle with Ghost of Tsushima, with a margin of only a few dozen votes, the second place is taken by the Bloodborne project, which is the standard of gloomy fantasy style – the level design alone makes you open your mouth and marvel at the sense of taste of the developers from FromSoftware, famous for their Dark Souls series. Bloodborne differs from the developer’s classic games with its accelerated battle dynamics, as well as its absolute gloom and bloodlust. In addition, the soundtrack of the game is filled with the most terrible compositions, sometimes reaching the bones in the process of passing the game. Also in the game, the arsenal is very talentedly worked out – each weapon is like a separate work of art. All this, combined with elegance, humor and complexity, make Bloodborne irresistible and almost the most anticipated PlayStation exclusive on PC according to PlayGround.ru users.

The first place with Scandinavian confidence and without any special problems is taken by God of War: Ragnarok, the sequel to the restart of the God of War series of games, which tells about the harsh adventures of Kratos on the heads of various gods. This time he will have to teach his son Atreus various subtleties so that together they can resist the approaching Ragnarok (the death of the gods and the whole world according to Scandinavian mythology). God of War: Ragnarok makes you fall in love with its detailed world, the wildest beautiful gameplay with furious finishing off enemies, the perfect storyline, and good side quests. A well-earned #1 among the most anticipated PlayStation exclusives on PC and one of the most polished games ever.
