@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, I do too. Trying different things does help to get out of a gaming funk like I’ve been in lately.
Usually one of my yearly gaming resolutions revolves around trying to play some games outside my comfort zone. This year I still have a sports game, an FPS, and a racing game to try.
@Thrillho Haha, maybe it’ll be God of War. We’ll see.
And for the FPS, Doom was the one I was gravitating to. But I’m not a fan of the whole Hell and Demon / Horror angle. Is it dark and disturbing? I mean, I can tolerate some of the macabre but it’s not my favorite.

@Th3solution A cheap alternative to Doom 2016 could be the first Wolfenstein.
And if with FPS you mean also First Person Adventure then you should try Dishonored, Prey and Alien Isolation.
@Th3solution I think the Wolenstein games would be more your bag as they have a really good story and set of characters. Just avoid Youngblood like the plague.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Th3solution I wouldn't have thought DOOM would be too bad but it does embrace the goriness.
The Wolfenstein games are also good fun (I seem to be in a minority in enjoying the second one), also pretty cheap, and also feel a little similar to DOOM but aren't quite as gung-ho.
Hi guys, I have done some research but I haven't found here a "Guide to best PS4 walking sim".
I'd like to create a wishlist to buy some of them as soon as they go on sale.
@andreoni79 Off the top of my head, What Remains of Edith Finch would be the top choice and if you do play it, I’d recommend playing it in as few sittings as possible.
Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is also a really neat experience and stylistically captures an absolutely stereotypical English village but has a really interesting main story.
Firewatch is also really beautiful and has a clever story but one that I didn’t enjoy the payoff for (but I seem to be in a minority there).
And a quick google reveals this very website has done such a list for you;
Good afternoon guys, I was wondering is there some really good games like Command & Conquer & Age of Empires on the PS4? Because I've been wanting Games like these for a while because I grew up with Command & Conquer Games + Age of Empire Games mainly on the PC. When I was googling this only 1s I found was.
XCom 2
Supreme Commander 2
Tooth and Tail
@Davehunt Not played the last two but Xcom 2 is one of my favourite games this gen. For some reason I always forget about it when thinking of my top 5 games or something this gen. 🤔
X com 2 is turn-based tactics game where you directly control your team of soldiers fighting against aliens. The more missions each soldier stays alive for the stronger they will get, you level up certain stats in between missions. If one dies in a mission they are gone forever but a new recruit will take there place in the next mission, but they will be weaker than your more experienced troops. You will also be upgrading your base in between missions by going round the globe collecting resources, dealing on the black market and doing special missions. There is loads more to it as I've not played it for a few years. It is not strictly like the C&C games but does share some similarities. Hope that helps!
@Davehunt While I love XCOM, they're not really "real time strategy" games like the old C&C ones.
It seems to be a genre that hasn't really made much of an appearance on PS4. There are games like Civ 6, Tropico etc but they're still not quite the same thing.
A google search didn't bring up any games I'd heard of but did give this reddit thread;
What are people's thoughts on Days Gone? Its one of the few PS4 exclusives I have yet to play. I know it reviewed a little underwhelming but want to hear from people that have played it especially recently.
One of my goals this year is to play a racing game, which is a genre I’ve not played much lately. I was in the mood for one now, as a good drop in/drop out type of mindless fun to clear my head, so I looked through my huge backlog of PS Plus games and, of course, timely enough the game is one of this months Plus games.
The review on PushSquare was an amazing 9/10 which caught my interest, but Stephen in his review says that it’s pretty intense and a steep learning curve and very much a simulation racer. I don’t mind it being a sim racer, but he really suggests that the game seems more geared (ba-dum-tshh) to those who played the first Dirt Rally, which I didn’t.
Anyways, just wondering. I think I’m going to skip it but could be convinced otherwise

@Th3solution I’ve got really into racing games this year but haven’t played Dirt Rally 2.0 yet. F1 2019 has the best difficulty curve I’ve seen since there’s so many sliders to change the amount of help you get driving. GT Sport is decent but not as good as the older games such as 3 and 4 on PS2. For a Horizon 4 is brilliant but obviously not on PS4. I reckon you should give Dirt a go since the PS4 is a wee bit lacking on good racing games and if it’s any good you can tell me to get on that!

Thanks in advance!
Just got it in the sale this week. It's brilliant. I don't know how it reviewed so poorly. The gameplay is great, I love sneaking around in the bushes, attracting the undead with a flash of the torch, then taking them out silently as they get too close. Whip out the silenced rifle and take out another one with a quick headshot. Then jump on your bike, and burn out of the town, drifting round the corner with freakers chasing you.
I'd just finished RDR2 before starting this, and whilst the overall polish and general feeling of a living world is better in that, I far far far prefer the gameplay in Days Gone.
@Th3solution I played the first Dirt Rally game and found it way too hard for me. Dirt 4 would be better as it has an arcade mode which is more accessible, but the main part of the game is point to point rallies, so does require you to concentrate quite a bit. Something like Wreckfest would probably be more your thing or Burnout Paradise Remastered, which is often on sale.
