  "account": "The PlayStation 4 launched in North America on November 15, 2013, and quickly became home to a wide array of games spanning various genres. Despite the launch of PS5, the PS4 continues to receive new releases. However, certain PS4 titles have been flying under the radar, with many gamers unaware of their existence. Here, we take a look at ten near-perfect PS4 games that have flown under the radar.\n\nFirst up is Infamous: Second Son, although it barely makes this list. Infamous was a massive franchise on the PS3, and Second Son lived up to its predecessor's acclaim. However, it didn't receive as much attention on the PS4, possibly because many players were unaware of its existence.\n\nNext is Gravity Rush 2, which, despite being handled by Sony for publishing and marketing, still managed to go under the radar for many players. The game features a large cast of female characters and offers a gravity-focused gameplay experience.\n\nThen there's Summon Night 6: Lost Borders. This game is developed by Media.Vision, a team known for its work on the Wild Arms RPG series. However, despite this pedigree, the game has not received widespread attention.\n\nZanki Zero: Last Beginning is another title that has flown under the radar. Developed by Spike Chunsoft and Lancarse, the game tells an intriguing story set in a post-apocalyptic world. Its unique gameplay and themes of loss and family make it a standout title.\n\nThe Tomorrow Children by Q-Games is another game that never really caught on. Though the game was self-published later due to server and microtransaction issues, it still offers an interesting action-adventure experience.\n\nExist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky, developed by tri-Ace in cooperation with Spike Chunsoft, is a unique JRPG that breaks new ground with its side perspective dungeon exploration. Despite its unconventional approach, the game features endearing characters, satisfying combat, and a unique twist on the genre.\n\nLastly, Bound, developed by a team known for their 3D platformers, is a unique title that explores a fantastic world within the mind of a woman. It's a perfect blend of love, life, and expression, offering a fresh take on the platformer genre.",
