We are living in an age where most game consoles have similar specs, and most games are released on multiple consoles. Some games are exclusive to a particular console however. These console exclusive games are almost always of the highest quality in order to lure gamers into buying one system over the others.

If a particular game was later released for another console from the same manufacturer, like a PS2 game rereleasing as an HD remake for the PS3, that does not disqualify it from this list. Some game franchises may be listed as a single entry if all of the individual games in the franchise are about equal in quality.

10  The Infamous Series (PlayStation Consoles)

The Infamous series started on the PS3, and was a standout series for that console as well. The first two games centered around Cole Macgrath, a courier that was given extraordinary powers due to an accident that destroyed a large section of the city.

Because developer Sucker Punch Productions worked closely with Sony during the PS4's development, the third Infamous release turned out to be one of the best-looking games in the PS4 library. Even though the game wasn't as well received as the previous two, it is still an amazing game well worth your time.

9 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Playstation 3)

Many owners of a PS3 bought the console to play the Uncharted games. Of the original trilogy, Uncharted 2 is widely accepted as the best of the three. Many consider it better than the PS4 installment. The graphics, set-pieces, story, and voice-acting are all superb.

The Uncharted games are action/adventures with a bit of puzzle solving and role-playing. The puzzles, which are generally large set-pieces, do a wonderful job at making the player feel like a treasure hunter/tomb raider. The sense of adventure and visual awe that the Uncharted games impart to the player have made them modern classics.

8 Gears Of War Series (Xbox Consoles)

Today, Epic Games is associated with only one game: Fortnite. Before they made Fortnite, though, Epic Games was best known for the Gears of War franchise. The promotional video for the first Gears of War, featuring the cover of “Mad World” by Gary Jules, is still burned into most gamer’s memories from when they first watched it as a kid.

The Gears of War games are cover-based, third-person shooters that put the player in control of a soldier fighting an insect-like alien invasion (the Locust Horde) on the planet Sera. The squad-based action in the Gears of War games is non-stop and chaotic. This game really stands out among other multiplayer games too, due to being set up as a squad-based shooter.

7 The Halo Series (Xbox Consoles)

The Halo series has always been one of the best multiplayer experiences to be found on Microsoft’s Xbox consoles. The latest release, Halo 5: Guardians, has maintained that tradition. There are numerous modes of multiplayer matches and co-op play to try out with your friends. Halo 5 runs at a steady 60 frames per second, no matter how much is happening on-screen.

This is a welcome feature, as nothing breaks the flow of a game like frame-skipping. The single-player campaign has been criticized by Halo purists for changing too much of the accepted story-line, but the levels are full of hidden areas and secrets that really increase Halo 5's replay value.

6 Quantum Break (Xbox One)

Quantum Break was released in 2016 by Microsoft Studios, and at the time no one seemed to notice. It has since become one of the best-selling titles for the Xbox One. In Quantum Break the player controls the time-manipulating protagonist Jack Joyce. Jack's powers stem from an accident involving a time machine, and now he must use these powers to prevent the end of time.

Time manipulation is not new to video games, but Quantum Break handles the concept very well. The battle system is well designed, making the battles a blast to play through. The only real complaint about this game was the live-action television shows that would occasionally play.

5 God Of War Series (PlayStation Consoles)

The God of War series began on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, and has consistently gotten better with every new release. The original God of War boasted fluid gameplay and impressive graphics. The latest God of War game for the PS4 is the best in the series and pushes the PS4 hardware to the limit.

The game takes place as a “one-shot” and never stops to load a new area or a cut-scene. The battles in the early God of War games were criticized by some for being too repetitive. This problem has finally been resolved in the latest God of War; now battles remain fun over the course of the game due to the variety of skills and weapons available.

4 The Last Of Us (PlayStation 3)

The Last of Us, developed by Naughty Dog and released for the PS3 in 2013, is a gaming masterpiece. The player controls a smuggler named Joel as he escorts a girl named Ellie across the zombie-infested remnants of the U.S.

Every aspect of this game is nearly flawless; it is visually impressive, the sound and music are award-winning, and the plot is one of the most captivating to ever be presented in video game format. In 2016 Sony announced they are working on a sequel to The Last of Us, but at this point it will probably be an exclusive title for the PlayStation 5.

3 Marvel’s Spiderman (PlayStation 4)

Traditionally, superhero games have been hit-or-miss, but mostly miss. Many gamers probably thought there would never be a superhero video game experience ever made to rival Batman's Arkham series. In fact, if the Arkham franchise had been a console exclusive, it would be near the top of this list. Marvel’s Spiderman for the PS4 is at least as good as any game in the Arkham series.

The developer, Insomniac Games, absolutely nailed the experience of web-swinging across New York as Spider-Man. The fights are extremely fun, and never get repetitive – in fact the battle system is so well implemented that you will swing around looking for bad guys to fight.

2 Horizon Zero Dawn (PlayStation 4)

Horizon Zero Dawn, released in 2017 by Sony Interactive, is a must-own game if you have a PS4. In this game, you play as Aloy, a young woman living in the distant future where humans have been reduced to living in a primitive state. The vast open world in Horizon Zero Dawn is populated with large robotic monsters that resemble dinosaurs.

The player must discover the nature of Aloy's past, and how humanity had been reduced to its primitive state. This is an absolutely gorgeous game - on every level. The graphics are so good they are distracting, the control is near perfect, and the plot is one of the most engaging of the current console generation.

1 The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild  (Nintendo Switch and Wii U)

With the latest Legend of Zelda title, Nintendo has raised the bar for open-world adventure fantasy games. Breath of the Wild is a beautiful experience through and through. The stunning game world is vast and very responsive to the player’s actions.

The durability counter on items is frustrating at times, but it in no way diminishes the greatness of this game. The story is just as vast as the game world, and also just as exciting to explore. The controls are on par for a Legend of Zelda title – meaning they are near perfect. The difficulty is also near perfect.  The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is already on its way to being remembered as an all-time classic.
