Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

@banacheck:
Thanks for explaining but actually I picked up Dark souls II and after giving it a lot of time and patience I came to the conclusion that it's not for me. I can still see that it's a great and deep game with a fantastic atmosphere. I just don't have the time nor patience to die over and over and get weaker by every death. I did make progress though but I still found it too frustrating.

My hubby found a game that he wants for our new PS4. It has Pennywise from It and a bunch of other horror movie characters in it. the only one I can find is Mortal Kombat XL which has Jason Vorhees, etc. Is there another game that has these characters?

@Pokefanmum82: Until Dawn is a must for you guys. Go buy that.

@Pokefanmum82: There's a Friday the 13th game coming out in the future sometime, would that be it?

@Pokefanmum82: Where did your husband see/hear about this game. Cause I did a Google for Pennywise PS4 game and nothing came up.

he said he heard about it in the store. He said it had the guy from Saw and Pennywise. It was under what's new one day and then gone the next.

@Pokefanmum82: What store was it?

@Pokefanmum82: Dead By Daylight?

i don't think so. It was the PSN Cdn store on the playstation. I don't know what it is but I can't find it either. I think it might have been Mortal Kombat XL. He decided he wants that one anyways (MK). Thanks for your help guys.

_{Please don't mislead other users here. Until Dawn doesn't included any movie characters in it. Thanks for understanding -Tasuki-}

Sometime ago I bought Firewatch and I enjoyed it. I liked the narration, the plot and the exploration. Then I played Gone Home as a free plus games and I also liked the way the story moved, even though it was somewhat different than Firewatch.

Some days ago I bought Oxenfree since it had some plus discount and it got good reviews. I liked it very much and I played it multiple times to see more endings and get all the trophies.

I tried searching for similar games and found some but if someone can recommend a game like those (good story with somewhat more serious theme and plot) I would like to check it out...

I like Zelda, Mario, Kirby, and RPGs. Got any recommendations for me?

@Lzeon: Can't beat the Witcher 3 for a rpg recommendation. Many people view the Dark Souls games (and Bloodborne) as more mature Zelda games or modern Zelda games, they share a familiar sense of discovery, difficulty (as older Zelda's had) and dungeon navigation (in the Souls case, this would be the different areas in a gameworld), Super Meat Boy is a very good platformer if your looking for a Mario like experience although it's much harder and more scaled back than Mario.

@Lzeon: Rayman Legends is a solid platformer (not sure if you already played that on Wii U).

@Lzeon: Some of the download titles I recommend are Axiom Verge (especially if your a big Metroid fan) and Dust an Elysian Tale. Resogun is great too if you like arcade shooters and Guns, Gore and Cannoli is a great run and gun type game.

I did get Playstation Plus and got Saint's Row: Gat out of Hell.

I was recommended so many things

Ratchet and Clank is only $20 right now with Amazon Prime. Hurry because these deals usually sell out fast. Just thought I'd leave this here for anyone interested.

Picked up Legend of Korra in the sale, I'm on chapter 4. Love it so far, not quite as good as Transformers but I know nothing about this franchise

Can't go wrong for the price of a pint.

"I like Zelda, Mario, Kirby, and RPGs. Got any recommendations for me?"

I, my good sir, am a serious Nintendo/Sony gamer. I know better than most exactly what kind of games you're looking for, trust me

So ok. Let's start with Mario. Ima be honest- PS4 isn't the best system to scratch that kinda itch, but there are still options. Personally, I'd recommend just scooping DKC Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's Wooly World and Rayman Legends if you're looking for solid technical platformers, but I'm guessing you've already exhausted the Wii U library at this point. With that in mind, the best platformers on PS4, imo are (not LBP3, just no) Tearaway (it's more of an immersive, creative game than a technical skill-based platformer, but like I said choices are slim on PS4), Ratchet & Clank (probably the best platformer on PS4) and Trials Fusion (not exactly the same but, trust me if you like technical skill based platforming, this technical skill based game is one to consider).

As for Zelda, hmmm. Again, not much in that same vein, but there are a good number of adventure type games. I'd say Witcher 3 (which is also an RPG), Tomb Raider (definitely has the whole adventure/puzzle thing going on) and Darksiders 2 (yes it's on Wii U and gamepad integration is top-shelf but the screen tearing kills it- get PS4 version trust me). And when Rise of the Tomb Raider drops, definitely get that. Oh my goodness that game is better than, or at least equal to, Uncharted 4. You'll probably like it more cause it's got better gameplay (story isn't as good though, but it's still good don't get me wrong).

As for RPG's you have come to the right console my friend. PS is the RPG hub (which is why I love it so much).

-Valkyria Chronicles (rivals even Fire Emblem as best SRPG ever made)
-Final Fantasy X (one of the greatest games ever made)
-Bastion and Transistor (both from Super Giant Games- best downloadable PSN games you can buy)
-Dragon Age Inquisition (SO SO SO SO good, get this game, thank Jaxon later)
-Dark Souls 3 (fan of Monster Hunter? This game is for YOU. And if you're not a fan of MH come see me, we need to fix that)
-Dark Souls 2 (play 3 first)
-Dragon Quest Heroes (I know you loved Hyrule Warriors- you'll love this too, perhaps even more)
-Divinity Original Sin (awesome game)
-Fallout 4 (not a traditional RPG but a solid game nonetheless)
-Borderlands Handsome Collection (great games, but a certain sense of humor may be off putting)
-Tales of Zesteria (it's decent, you know Tales games are B-grade RPG's but always decent)
-Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth (yep- scratch that Poke-itch, go right ahead)
-Salt & Sanctuary (like a 2D Dark Souls)

Other Games You'll Love As a Nintendo Gamer

-Axiom Verge (Metroid fan? Here's a small appetizer- 1/1000 as good as Ori & Blind Forest but, you don't have X1 so...)
-DMC (liked Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2? Here ya go, come get some!)
-Devil May Cry 4 (play DMC first)
-Fez (like Paper Mario? The OLD Paper Mario? This is for you)
-Gravity Rush (not really like anything, just has a very "Nintendo" vibe to it, and it's awesome)
-Lara Croft & Temple of Osiris (Think "Zelda Four Swords" or "Zelda Triforce Heroes")
-Odin Sphere (play Murumasa for Wii? This is even better)

@Lzeon:
Disclaimer:

I will admit, Little Big Planet 3 was much better than previous entries. I even borderline had fun with the game. Its probably more similar to Kirby than anything else, but I played Kirby Planet Robobot and it's much, MUCH better than LBP3. Even so, there may be a chance you'll like it. Still, I'd prioritize pretty low in comparison to all the other choice gems I've listed.
