@TG77 Fez and The Witness are two of the best puzzle/adventure games on the PS4. No combat involved, and there's definitely a sense of adventure in the way you're discovering new things and new locations.

Games like Journey, ABZU, and Firewatch have little to no combat either, but are quite short experiences, so if you're looking for a good time sinker, they may not be the best choices.

The Last Guardian is also one of my personal favourites. An adventure game with very little direct combat as well.

I just took a look through the forums/topics using the search function correctly (hopefully) @RogerRoger ... sadly I don't think anyone has played them! Thanks anyway!

If it was recently... it may of actually been me @RogerRoger !

It was research for a PS3 Digimon fighting game for mcnoisy's thread of rating the entire PS3 Library!

It's actually what inspired me to look and see if there was actually any good Digimon games 😅

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I kinda liked Digimon as a franchise, but the recent games seemed a bit ho-hum to me; quite bland. I'm certain the franchise isn't as big as it used to be, and can't afford a high budget, but still.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy @RogerRoger It might have been KratosMD who sadly no longer posts. I think his profile is still active though so it might be worth searching through his previous posts.

Edit: found the below, not too much to go on though unfortunately.

Oh I kinda liked it too @Octane... my kids used to watch it on ITV over here when it first aired and I watched it with them... cus I was totally the cool mom outta all their friends

I've still got the original Digimon world for PS1 in fact that my son and daughter bought together, and a plushie up on top of a cupboard that my daughter used to have of the plant digmon... Palmon?


Thanks once again @RogerRoger and you too @JohnnyShoulder !

I might just go ahead and take the plunge, it's only ten pound after all! At worst that's like 3 cups of coffee...

... even if I hate coffee but you get the picture

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy No worries, hope you enjoy the game if you decide to purchase it.

When you compare it like that, it seems crazy that we think nothing of spending that on something like coffee, but when it comes to video games we (while I do sometimes) can give it a second thought before taking the plunge. Even more crazy when you see how much time we spend playing them!

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah, to respond to your thoughts on Dark Souls here to avoid derailing the Top 5 thread too much, I haven’t really had the time and energy for much big time gaming lately.
And on the subject, I think if I do scratch the From Software Soulsborne itch (do we now have to call it “Soulsbornekiro”?) then I’ll likely do Dark Souls 3 first since the price is right. For some reason the DS1 Remaster is still $30-40 usually whereas I picked up the DS3 Firefades Ed on sale for $15. That leaves an extra $15 for coffee 😂. Actually for me it will be for ice cream, which is my guilty pleasure consumable.
I also have an interest to try Dead Cells. Have you played that? I know it’s a completely different genre, but it’s described as Soulsborne-ish (Soulsbornekiro-ish ...😂) in its difficult but satisfying combat that rewards dying over and over and learning the nuance of the system. Obviously being 2D is a completely different experience, but it is funny how “Dead Cells” almost has a similar sound to the name as “Dark Souls.” I wonder if that was purposeful on the developers part to give homage to From for the inspiration of the game.

@JohnnyShoulder @Th3solution

To chime in (and not derail the top 5 thread like solution suggested) I wouldn't say DSIII's combat is exactly like BB's.

But 3 is faster paced then the others and is the most suited of the souls for a more aggressive style of play... pretty sure one ring even lets you use the BB health mechanic or something similar (Never actually used it myself though!)

@Th3solution “Soulsbornekiro” cruelly overlooks Nioh.

Soulsbornekiroh works however.

@Th3solution Yeah I've got Dead Cells, only played it briefly though. The combat felt a bit too fast paced and chaotic for me, but I do intend to go back to it at some point.

@Kidfried Hmmmm, was this supposed to go in the ps5 section?

@Kidfried @JohnnyShoulder I really enjoyed Dead Cells. Learning about the different routes was cool and I liked the slow progression as you gradually improved (and unlocked extra kit). I still never managed to beat the final boss though..

I wish you could take pieces of equipment out of your roster though. It was really annoying to be given such rubbish gear to start with as you'd unlocked something not knowing if it was any good.

Seeing as the actual thread is locked and I don't know if I'm going to post in that much if I ask Tasuki to re-open it... @Fight_Sora_Fight you're the original creator of the Digimon hacker's memory topic

Haven't got it yet (Easter bank holidays have messed up my order) , any tips for a first time player?

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Have you played the original Cyber Sleuth?

Both games take place in the same overarching timeline. I think overall the first game is better, but Hacker’s Memory is still excellent.

The great thing about the Cyber Sleuth games is, is that there are no wasted Digimon.
You can get to pretty any Digimon you want by digivolving & de-digivolving. Depending at what stage/form you do it at, you’ll get extra AP points, which adds additional ability points to your Digimons base stat.
You gain these every time the ‘base’ Digimon reaches a ‘new’ form. This system therefore encourages you to continuously evolve & de-evolve.
Unlike Pokemon there are no ‘useless’ Digimon.

Also there is a in-game Digimon Evolution chart which is viewable. That gives you a little bit more insight & let’s you plan ahead how you would like to evolve your Digimon- it’s useful if you want specific skills/mon & wish to max out stats.

Also Digimon are obtained by ‘scanning’ them through encounters. No need to worry about KO-ing them.
You can summon them once you hit a scan % of 100% in the lab. Don’t do that, as you can gain additional info with continuous encounters, up to 200%- this gives you additional ability points.

Never release a Digimon. Even a throwaway, can be turned into a Gold Numemon (Ultra) or Platinum Numemon (Mega), by just being trained at the digi-farm.
Those digimons can be sacrificed by loading them into another Digimon giving them massive EXP boosts. Depending on the level you can gain anywhere from ~7k to ~80k from one Gold/Platinum Numemon (Plat is better, but takes longer).

Also there is lots of free DLC available from extra missions to new digimons.
I know that’s a lot, but enjoy!!!

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition. So far, the gameplay is really fun. Haven't seen fighting gameplay this good since Batman Arkham. Smashing people into things for environmental takedowns is amazing.

@Tasuki I prefer it over GTA V too 😁
How come you think we won’t get another? Did it not sell well?
