Topic: PS4 recommendation thread

@KratosMD I really liked Hyper Light Drifter. It's one of my favourite indie games I think. It's like a fast-paced action heavy Zelda game. It's pretty difficult, but very manageable at the same time.

Night in the Woods had two ''prequels'' which I played, but I didn't like them as much, so I never bought the full release. Unravel is a neat game as well, but it's just as much an ''experience'' game as it is a platformer. I liked it, but I liked HLD a lot better I think.

@KratosMD Night in the Woods is a must. Kinda like OxenFree in how it plays but totally different setting and art style. I've not actually played bit lol, but I've not heard a bad word said about it from anyone that has.

@KratosMD Well you should certainly give Oxenfree a go, it's definitely greater than the sum of its parts and took me by surprise.

@KratosMD I found it to be very 'fair' for a challenging game. It's no Dark Souls, not that difficult. Probably easier than Celeste too, since dying is kinda the point of that game. Have you ever played Tropical Freeze? I'd say that game is challenging whilst being fair too. Respawning is quick from what I remember.

So any thoughts on For Honor in it’s current state? The swords and MP combined has me intrigued.

@Jaz007 Not sure what you mean by current state but it's a fun game overall. Pretty big player base still. It's basically like CoD Multiplayer but with Hand to Hand weapons instead of guns. I never played the single player campaign though so I can't tell you anything about that

@Tasuki I understand it’s been updated and also just got some DLC.

@Jaz007 oh yeah lol. honestly it's been getting updates since day one. The most recent one added a new faction Chinese like warriors. I haven't played them but I have heard they are fun.

There's a PSVR headset on sale for €199. It comes with the camera, it's also the V2 (I assume that's the newest version), and it comes with a copy of VR Worlds.

That's a steal right?

@Octane That does sound cheap. I’m afraid personally it will take an even lower price for me to join the VR nation. It just seems like such a headache to deal with all the set up and cords. Hopefully PS5 figures out a way to make it all wireless.

@KratosMD Out of those games I'd say Guacamelee 2 and Night in the Woods. Guacamelee also puts a smile on my face; the music is fun, the gameplay is fast and flowing, it's a colourful and cheerful experience to me. Night in the Woods has a really nice visual style, and the story and characters are interesting and memorable. It's an easy game to recommend.

Unravel is very unique, not just in terms of gameplay but also in terms of visual style and music. It can be infuriating at times though, when it comes to solving some of the platforming puzzles; getting the character to do what you want.

@beemo It is currently on offer on the ps store in the UK, think it is about 11 quid.

@beemo @KratosMD I'd also like to hear your thoughts as I played the game earlier this year and don't know anyone else who has. I posted my summary on another forum but no-one had played it on there either.

Anyone here playing Star Wars Battlefront 2? I can get it for around 8 pounds plus postage but I'm not sure how popular it is, what's the current state of the game vs launch state, is the game even fun in multiplayer etc, so some responses would be welcome. I'm not a heavy multiplayer fan, but I like to play it from time to time.

Paging Mr. Roger 😃

@Th3solution thanks for bringing him for an answer.

@RogerRoger thanks for your impressions, I'll buy it. I reckon even if I don't like it I'll be able to just resell it and get my money back, and if nothing else, I'll enjoy some good graphics.

@RogerRoger yeah, I will, if I get to play it instead of rdr2 as I'll order both together.

Out of those I would recommend Last of Us Remastered. I love horror games, with action so for that I would recommend Evil Within 2, and God of War was awesome!! These days I'm playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption 2, and for my fps sweet tooth, I really like Rainbow Six Siege. An intense tactical fps.

I’m looking for a recommendation for an FPS where I can heal.
I used to play Resistance 2 back in the day and loved playing as a medic. Is there anything similar around?

@Fandabidozi What do you mean by heal? As in health packs? I know doom has them.
If you mean you can heal other players, Battlefield has a medic class that's a lot of fun. I've played a good amount of Battlefield 1 and my main class is the medic.
