3 of 2017’s best PS4 exclusives

Nier: Automata

Already played Horizon Zero Dawn? You need to get your hands on Sony’s other epic post-apocalyptic title. Stuffed with more existential guff than a Terrence Malick flick, this open-world action-rpg is as barmy as it is beguiling. And it’s got robots, so that’s a boon.

Persona 5

This game is so huge you can spend five hours on it without even finishing the tutorial. As much as Persona 5 isn’t an RPG for commitment-phobes, anyone who sticks with its high-school melodrama and turn-based thrills will be richly rewarded.

Wipeout Omega Collection

If Crash’s recent revival taught us anything, it’s that the bandicoot hasn’t aged all that well over the last 21 years. Wipeout, meanwhile, is still a riot – especially now the futuristic racing series has been remade in 1080p.
