Eurogamer's best games lists aim to guide you to the highest quality, most original, most exciting games around today. Each regularly updated list presents between 10 and 20 varied games that we think would make a fine foundation for any game collection.

The best of the last and current generations is available in a series of brilliant remasters and re-releases - definitive versions of titans like The Last of Us, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Diablo 3 - while Sony's canny charm offensive with smaller developers has flooded the system's download store with the very best indie games of the last few years, delights as diverse as Minecraft, Spelunky and Fez. Then there are surprises like Final Fantasy 14, a full-fledged online world on console, and a good one too. There's loads to discover on PS4 already, and it's a simple but huge pleasure to have such a broad range of brilliant games gathered in one place. It's truly the console for all seasons, the platform with something for everyone.
