Ghost of Tsushima
Days Gone
God of War
TLOU 2
Horizon
Spiderman
Have not played UC4 or LL.
Spiderman is a dud imo. Its not bad, but I was sick of it once I had the plat. I don't like the combat and the constant crimes. Lack of indoor which makes sense as you're spidey but I would like some better stealth than what this game offers. Miles and MJ gameplay sucks.
DG is most underrated. overstays its welcome, a good few hours could've been cut, but other than that had a blast and loved the traversal with your bike getting a bit better each time.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Voted God of War since, for me, that one had the most fun gameplay out of all of those.
It also felt more like a game than a movie. Lots of story beats yeah but also lots of combat and exploration.
Ghost of Tsushima was cool too, but I never finished it.

TLOU2 is definitely my vote. I'm pleasantly surprised that it is keeping up with GoW.

God of war: clearly the best of the bunch
Horizon: great combo of story\combat\graphic, nothing to find in the open world, shitty side-character except for sylens, great lore, great dinobot enemies, shitty combat vs humans.
Tlou2 best slow paced realistic tps out there, incredible animations and graphic, great digital acting, trash story and charas, kinda shitty pacing.
Spiderman best iteration of free flow combat by far (sorry batman fanboys), decent story and charas, great traversal, shitty open world side activities
Days gone: decent all around, deacon great protagonist, some short sad scenes were more impactful to me than tlou2 entire plot, mediocre combat and stealth.
Tsushima: a decent assassins creed game with more polish and less crappy story\charas (but still mediocre), decent but monotonous combat, ultra shitty stealth, incredible art design and old samurai movie shenaningans are what do the heavy lifting for this game.
Unchy4: a boring shitty paced piece of crap with great graphics and good combat (when they actually let you fight).
The brother and the villain gave me cancer.

From this list Lost Legacy. Best Sony PS4 games overall and it's not even close: Shadow of The Colossus Remake and Astro Bot Rescue.

Having the games listed like this just highlights how much I wasn't really feeling Sony's output last gen. Spider-Man wins it for me. In my opinion their best exclusive was Astrbot VR, but it doesn't fall into the "cinematic" category.

I voted for Ghost of Tsushima - simply because it was the game I enjoyed the most, although I have to admit I don't really consider it that "cinematic".
Looking at the games with the most votes, I guess I have different tastes from most of Gaf - I can see that God of War is a well put together game, but it just completely failed to engage me. TLoU2.. well, I finished it, but I doubt I will ever play it again. I think I had enough Spiderman for a lifetime with the original PS3 release and Uncharted 4 just managed to bore the crap out of me.
Horizon and Days Gone don't really induce any strong feelings at all - both were perfectly playable, but didn't make any lasting impact on me.

Last Of Us 2 is untouchable.
Animations, graphics, audio, NPC Ai, all top notch.

I enjoyed Horizon the most. Played through it twice. The Spider-Man games are on two for me. Didn't play Uncharted (quit the series after 2), Days Gone or TLOU2 (both not my genre, I don't like games with zombies).
I found God of War to be absolutely annoying. Didn't like the gameplay or the characters one bit. I think I quit about halfway through.

How are Days Gone and HZD cinematic?

I kind of fundamentally disagree with calling all of those games "cinematic" games. Just because they have cutscenes doesn't necessarily make them "cinematic". For example GoT, Horizon, and Days Gone do not have any more cinematics in them than a typical Ubisoft game, yet no calls Assassin's Creed a "cinematic game". Naughty Dog games I would say fall into that category though.
To answer your question though, I have to say GoT is the best overall experience. Good combat, world, story, setting, and characters, plus a (free) decent multiplayer add-on.

Because for some people if it has any kind of story at all it is cinematic. It doesn't matter that the actual gameplay in most of these games is top notch.

God of war was extremely special, for me a magnificent 10/10
Loved horizon zero dawn and days gone, days gone was a bit buggy but enjoyed it a lot, 8/10 for those.
did not like uncharted 4 at all, a total bore-fest and way too long. 5/10. need more than just pretty graphics to make a good game.

Personally I like Uncharted 4 the best. I think God of War had the best narrative, but Uncharted was the most fun. Ghost of Tsushima was fun, it was basically an Assassins' Creed game, with a tighter narrative. I never played Days Gone, I have just had enough of the zombie apocalypse narrative, probably why I didn't play TLOU2. Spiderman was a ton of fun, they got the swinging down.

I'm just an observer here. But the fact that you told him to consider therapy over his opinion of the Sony Studio games makes me concerned about you.
Looks like you're completely wrong. Consider therapy.

1 - God of War
2 - Horizon Zero Dawn
3 - Uncharted 4
4 - Spider Man
5 - Days Gone
Haven't played Ghost of Tsushima but I'll be playing the director's cut on the PS5 next year. From what I've seen and read about the game it sounds like it'll take 3rd or 4th place.
I'm not interested in playing TLoU2. I'm not their target audience. There's enough misery in the world as it is.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
It was supposed to be a joke, but maybe it was a tad dark. Thanks for the concern. God of War made it to the semi finals of that massive game of the generation poll run earlier this year/last on this forum (along with the praise received outside this forum), so it's a flaming hot take for anyone to call it "insufferable", "terrible", "repetitive", and "bad".
When sharing an unpopular opinion, one could use language that signifies and understanding of the appeal while sharing your view instead of using definitive statements. OP is intentionally baiting people with that language.
Imagine if I posted a thread and praised Viva Pinata, Gears of War, Banjo, and Fable, but then dragged Halo/Forza and called them "insufferable", "terrible", "repetitive", and "bad".

Out of those choices, The Last of Us Part 2
Otherwise, my favorites were Bloodborne, Death Stranding, and The Last Guardian.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 7.5
All good games. Still haven't played Ghost of Tsushima yet because honestly, I'm not a fan of open world games. Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone surprised me. Spider-Man was a good game. The reason why I gave Spider-Man Miles Morales a 7.5 is because it felt like a lost legacy type of game and not a direct sequel. Still fun though.

1. Days Gone - Loved the characters, writing and survival lite system. The fuel system in particular. Coasting down hills on the way back to camp was nice. For me it's the best single player zombie game ever made and it's not even close. This was my surprise of the year.
2. HZD - also a huge surprise for me. I didn't have much faith in GG but I happily ate crow after just a few minutes of playing. The gameplay was good enough to make me overlook the terrible art style of the humans.
3. God of War - borrowed my daughter's PS4 to play this and it was good. I didn't like it as much as a lot of people, but still liked it enough to buy it on Steam day 1 and be excited for the sequel (whenever it comes to PC or I impulse buy a PS5).
Look forward to playing the rest when I can.

The last of us 2. I have to say though, it's remarkable how good all of those games are.

They’re all very good except for God of War, Horizon and Uncharted 4. Sorry, not sorry. Suck it up. I find these games visually too busy and lacking design elegance. Also, they’re an orgy of forced walking sequences - my pet hate.
TLOU2 is at the top for the sheer technical brilliance and for daring to go some really dark places but it’s quickly followed by Days Gone and GOT. Days Gone has an exceptionally likeable main character and the whole soap-opera cascade of events was delicious. GOT gets much better with the Iki expansion. That island is drop dead gorgeous.

“Cinematic game” is such a dumb term
