What PlayStation games are you playing ?

What PlayStation games are you playing at the moment that's good and worthwhile buying ?
Sick of paying 60+ quid for games that is just the same thing over and over and eventually after a couple of days you get sick of.
Like Tom Clancy Wildlands for instance, basically the same thing for the whole game only different scenery and tactics

I'd recommend the remaster of The Last of Us.

Personally speaking, I think It is the best game ever made. Its the perfect blend of story, action and stealth. Its also properly emotional and scary by times too.

Wonderful game. Its cheap as chips now.

Potential-Monke · 29-06-2018 12:59pm

Currently playing through Darksiders: Warmastered Edition. They did an amazing job making it look this well. Thoroughly enjoying it, even if the combat is a bit simple by todays standards. Would love if the team behind God of War were to do a reboot of Darksiders with the GoW combat. Would be better, but I'll hold out hope for DS3 to make the combat a bit deeper.

I suppose every game can be considered repetitive after a while. So for me the story is what keeps me going. You should be able to pick up HZD cheap enough, or Dying Light is cheap as chips and amazing fun.

I just bought a PS4 and the main reason I did was to play The Last Of Us. Really enjoying it so far, have the Uncharted Games next up after that. Anyone recommend other similar games? Tomb Raider worth a go?

Kintarō Hattori · 29-06-2018 2:20pm

I finished Just Cause 3 a while back, loved it as I did with 2. It's somewhat repetitive but the humour and the level of detail make it worthwhile. It's usually very cheap too.

Currently playing Firewatch which is a nice sedate change of pace.

Potential-Monke · 29-06-2018 3:01pm

Both the Tomb Raiders are definitely worth a go if you like Uncharted. I thought they were really good reboots. Plus, you have to pick up God of War if the price doesn't put you off. Hands down the best game on PS4, and of this generation, imo. The Witcher 3 if you're looking for the long haul, stunning game and some of the best story telling out there. The side quests are as good as the main story, sometimes better! DLC is very good too.

The Ratchet and Clank remake is also brilliant if you want to bring back the nostalgia but with modern graphics. Another stunning looking game. I'll recommend Dark Souls and Bloodborne if you're a sadist, but they don't tick my boxes. Other people think they're the best thing since sliced bread.

The Batman Arkham games are other great games, really make you feel like you're Batman, and one of the best combat systems out there to make you feel like that. The system is so good, lots of games are adopting a similar approach with the upcoming Spiderman being the closest looking. Sleeping Dogs is a great GTA type game with more focus on melee combat.

DirtyBollox · 29-06-2018 3:01pm

Still plugging away on borderlands 2, lost my characters in the big ps3 HDD **** up i had last year so starting from scratch with the handsome jack collectiong, which includes all of the DLC for borderlands 2 and the pre-sequel, isnt bad.

Penn · 29-06-2018 3:51pm

Still getting through Yakuza 0. It's just far too easy to get lost in the side missions and business stuff to the point where I tend to do story stuff to take a break from the side stuff. That said, I'm kinda wanting to move on from it now, so might just power through the rest of the story and give it a rest. Move on to something different for a while and then try Yakuza 6.

jonerkinsella · 29-06-2018 9:53pm

God of war. I seen it on adverts for €30 today. It's a fantastic game, and I don't really enjoy third person games, but gow nailed it.

That happened me in 0. Got sidetracked way too much and lost interest due to exhaustion. I intend to pick it up again at some stage, but now that they're re-releasing basically all the game again, i'll get 0 again and work my way up to 6 over the coming years!

Ploughed through the last two chapters last night and finished the story. Really enjoyed the main story. Definitely going to have to take a break from the series for a while though.

actuar90 · 30-06-2018 12:52pm

Just finished God of war which was a great game, although I did get lost in side quests along the way. It's definitely up there with the last of us as best ps4 games.

Just starting nier automata now, which I've high hopes for and managed to pick up for €21 new in argos

I usually play with the same six friends for years now and have the following for each genre fix
Rainbow Six Siege
Rocket League
Drive Club
PES 2018 Lite
Providence Poker

Upgraded to the God of War pro bundle lately so have that to get further in (about 5 hours in so far).

CastorTroy · 30-06-2018 10:55pm

Playing Puppeteer on PS3. Have to get back to it after a couple weeks since last played.
Personally I don't think it's as great as people have made it out to be but I'm liking it

LucyIrish06 · 02-07-2018 9:50am

Thanks guys! Will defo be buying a couple of games mentioned above.
Recently got a gaming PC and just downloaded GTA 3 days ago, safe to say i haven't had any sleep since!
Been using mods for storymode, especially the LSPDFR mod

Tipsy McSwagger · 06-07-2018 3:54pm

Just started Child of Light, what a beautiful game.

super_furry · 06-07-2018 6:52pm

Rocket League. Still. It's the perfect 'I have 20 minutes to play here' game.

Kimbot · 09-07-2018 2:06pm

Playing Darksiders 2 at the moment and its ok so far

Penn · 09-07-2018 2:57pm

Since it was released on Xbox/Switch/PC, and with the new Crash 3 level available, I decided to do an all crystals & gems run on the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy. Did Crash 1 over the last few days and got to about 20% of Crash 2.

Not doing relics though. Already got all Gold for the Platinum trophy when the game was released. Not going to put myself through that hardship again.

David_Stone · 13-07-2018 2:23pm

Now I'm playing Dargon Ball Z Sagas game

Weepsie · 21-07-2018 9:32am

Still playing the Witcher 3 after a year. I take breaks from it now and then, Go back and just always find something good to do in it.

ronano · 21-07-2018 9:37am

Finished shadow of war and red faction guerilla remastered. Got uncharted on the go but not feeling it

CastorTroy · 06-08-2018 10:28pm

Started The Last Guardian. Liking it so far, though the camera and working around Trico can be iffy at tmes

This was the biggest issues in the reviews was Trico not following you.
It’s only later you realise your “training” him during the game. He starts responding a little quicker as the game progresses.

I know it’s sad but the VR demo on this made me emotional!

CastorTroy · 07-08-2018 3:08am

No problem with him following me. Just mean could be a small area and trying to move the camera around him and the area can be messy.
Takes a wee while to get used to the controls. Whoever decided X isn't jump, but drop down made a very bad choice

How Soon Is Now · 07-08-2018 3:22am

Been playing Persona 5 last few days love it totally hooked!

Love interacting with the characters so much to do and see develop. Kinda game really don't wanna see end!

nedd · 07-08-2018 12:36pm

I tried No Mans Sky a few months ago and lasted about 3 hours.
Re-started it this week and with the latest update.
Getting to wander around with friends, minecraft in Space with gorgeous visuals? Stress free gaming as well, plus it cost me €15 so can’t really go wrong.

DirtyBollox · 07-08-2018 12:54pm

Playing through Horizon Zero Dawn, got it last week, thursday or friday for €21 from that link in the bargain thread. (link is dead now

)

Cracking game! about 20 hours into it and i've no idea where i am or where i'm going but the thunderjaw scares the **** out of me.

Kintarō Hattori · 08-08-2018 4:09pm

Started playing Battlefield 1 a few nights ago and now getting into it. When I finish it that'll make a grand total of 3 games I'll have played on the console. I thinking about playing Horizon Zero Dawn after that as a mate has been giving it high praise.

Howard the Duck · 13-08-2018 12:04pm

Doom online... I can see myself playing this until the day I die..which will probably be soon as my GF will murder me

Doodah7 · 13-08-2018 2:19pm

The Golf Club 2 was (is?) on special on the US Store. My God but it is difficult!! I'm as good at this game as I am at golf in real life!!

TinCanMan · 14-08-2018 2:52pm

Dark Souls Remastered. I'm playing as a magic build which is making things a bit easier. I'm just delighted to have the opportunity to play it on the PS4. I'll definitely play through again as a strength build when I finish to get a different perspective of things.

Doge · 14-08-2018 9:40pm

Anyone else playing h1z1 online? It's a decent PUBG clone imo especially for free and I'm having fun playing with 2 friends online. Were looking for 2 more if anyone's interested.

TacoMan · 16-08-2018 10:38am

Mafia 3 (free on PS+ this month) and absolutely loving it. It is kinda similar to GTA, but calling it a "GTA clone" is a bit unfair imo. It plays out like a film, great acting, atmosphere, story and the soundtrack kicks ass.

Well worth downloading if you haven't already done so. Easily the best free PS+ game I've played so far.

Atomic Pineapple · 16-08-2018 2:52pm

Been playing XCom 2, free on PS plus a little while back. Really enjoying it so far, though had to turn the difficulty down to get used to it

. Have been a little addicted since, great tension when it turns to the aliens and you realise you've left one of your best soldiers exposed to an attack.

elgriff · 16-08-2018 2:55pm

Command & Conquer Red Alert. €3.99 on PS Store. Got it yday

bigphil2 · 16-08-2018 4:10pm

Currently Playing Rise of the Tomb Raider,really enjoying it after getting through that tiresome survival bit in the snow,it put me off the game for a while tbh.. Playing it now has peaked my interest in Shadow of the Tomb Raider,but ill probably not pick it up for a while..

Notorious · 16-08-2018 9:45pm

I'm replaying GTA V. First time playing it on the PS4; the first person view is great for gunfights. The plan is to finish the story and then move on to Uncharted: Lost Legacy.

Potential-Monke · 18-08-2018 8:01pm

Still horsing through No Mans Sky since the Next update. Very different game, and so much to do.

But, that's only to tie me over until Guacamelee 2 is out in 3 days! Yurt!!

Cienciano · 20-08-2018 7:44pm

Street Fighter V. Was only a tenner, but you have to unlock everything

starting to enjoy this but Bloodborne wins that prize for me by quite a distance

I always forget about Bloodborne being on PS+ as I had it already by the time it came out. A great game no doubt, but damn it's tough in parts. Must get back to it...

Penn · 23-09-2018 10:40am

Started into Yakuza Kiwami 1 the last few days. Definitely getting through it quicker than Yakuza Zero. Seems to be fewer side activities to do and chapters so far are shorter. Still though, enjoying being back in the world.

KIRYU-CHAN!!!!!

Atomic Pineapple · 23-09-2018 4:12pm

I was playing, and enjoying, Destiny 2 recently, but have started to hit the grind now. Will probably only play another hour or two and drop back to XCOM 2. I plan on picking up Transference for the PSVR soon too.

Taltos · 23-09-2018 4:27pm

Back into Dark Souls 2 after many years. First time as a melee build.
Still can’t parry though...

CiDeRmAn · 24-09-2018 10:24pm

I bought Space Hulk Deathwing for €19.99 on the PS Store.
My first instinct was that it was a clunky throwback to the bad old days of FPS design .
My second was how right the first instinct had been.
Still, the gameplay is exactly like the board game, clunky, wooden and gloomy.
But there's some fun to be had slicing up gene stealers

Reminds me, saw XCom Enemy Unknown and Terror from the Deep for sale, must pick them up, big gap in my collection without them, and they are outstanding even now!

gimli2112 · 24-09-2018 10:31pm

I had terror from the deep on the Playstation 1. It was bugged ti hell and you couldn't complete it. Played it for hundreds of hours (there mustn't have been a lot of games back then) Only finished it years later on a pc.

It really is a great game and for the storyline alone, better than GTA V. Apart from being buggy as hell, had to restart the game twice as some triggers for mission advancement didn't happen. Just listening to the radio made me rewatch Standing in the Shadows of Motown

rejkin · 29-09-2018 10:07am

Just finished Yakuza kiwami 2 straight after finishing Yakuza 0,amazing games. Story really drew me in and the combat is fun. Been a while since I've fully completed games.
Gonna jump back into persona 5,had the first dungeon completed on it so want to get back into an RPG.

What PlayStation games are you playing ?
