Latest ps4 purchase was Crossing Souls for around 3 quid from indie sale for my ever expanding backlog. Also quite tempted to snap up Minit and Hyper Light Drifter before the sale disappears
I also took advantage of the big indies sale also grabbed one of those indie collection packages that had Dear Esther in it. I got a couple others thrown in that I’ll likely never play (Hue, which I already had access to through PS Plus, and The Flame in the Flood) but the collection at $1.50 was cheaper than the game had ever been by itself, according to psprices.com. At that price, it’s basically free, and I have always intended to play Dear Esther because I like a good walking sim to chill out with from time to time.

I know right, I can't remember a time when I could get so many games for so little expense since the days when they gave out stuff free with magazines (nostalgia for the oldies on here)! As to your purchase I recall finding Hue a pleasant diversion when it was ps+ freebie, puzzle platform with an interesting mechanic. Also recently picked up Flame in the Flood mainly because I liked the art style but haven't got round to it yet. Dear Esther is the only one of the three I wouldn't be interested in, walking Sims just not what I'm in to.

@Sorteddan if you do ever get around to The Flame in the Flood, drop some impressions because I’m curious since I now own it. When I looked into it I was actually intrigued by the art style and aesthetic. I’m not much for the survival games and didn’t get along with Don’t Starve, but FitF looks like it does a few things differently.
And I can see how walking sims might not be for everyone, and I certainly have to spread them out between more gameplay intensive games. But when done right I enjoy a good virtual hike through a make-believe world.

Thanks RogerRoger, I bought it from an Amazon Market Place seller, its a used very good copy so the case or inlay may be slightly damaged but the disk should be fine (which is what's important!)
Bought Assasins Creed Oddesy Deluxe on the ps store sale for £16, I've been hoping that the base game would go down to about £12 for awhile now I got Origins at that price so felt like I would of liked to pay around the same but could never seem to get it less than £18 on disc. It's a game already in the backlog so looking forward to giving it a go eventually
I've never actually played a proper Monster Hunter like game before (Well I tried a few demos of the handheld MH games and wasn't particularly keen) but I was interested in trying World when it released.
Seeing as God Eater Resurrection & God Eater 2: Rage Burst PS4 ports were in a bundle for only £6.74 (or something) on PSN in the sale that ended last night and after having liked Code Vein so much (Made by some of the same team, and the demo of the third God Eater was decent) I decided to give the God Eater series and the monster hunting genre a shot.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I hadn't played MH before but ended up putting quite a lot of time into World. A fun game that is very replayable (thankfully!) and good fun to play by yourself or with a group of randoms.
It took me a while to find what weapon I got on with though. I went with the lance in the end for long range attacks, the ability to attack enemies in the sky, but also the shield meant you could actually defend.
I wanted to go with something quick and agile but I wasn't good enough! I did play around with the projectile weapons later on though, particularly when playing in a group.
Wanted a brand new PS4 controller as I am now having issues with my original PS4 controller (not outright broken, but having stick issues which I may look into fixing soonish), which I found strangely difficult to get wherever I looked. Might be looking in the wrong place but eh, I caved a brought a controller the only way I could; I brought the FIFA 21 + Controller bundle. Definitely not something I was ever planning on buying but at least I have a FIFA game I guess?
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I’ve actually been playing God Eater Resurrection too on the Vita. It’s alright so far, even if the weapons still feel like they have no weight or damage behind them which was a big issue for me in Code Vein.
I dunno what is @Ralizah but there's just something about 13 Sentinels that just hasn't quite grabbed me despite adoring Odin Sphere and enjoying the heck out of Dragon's Crown.
Is it something you'll be playing soon whenever it arrives or going in the backlog? I'd appreciate a tag whenever you do get round to it! 😄
Oh and btw if you care for some general thoughts on Cyberpunk I did voice some more negative thoughts about it in the games you've beat thread as I did actually get to an ending already in it (... Which rather surprised me).

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I was salty for a while that it was a home console only release, as I successfully stuck with Vita for Odin Sphere and Dragon's Crown. The look of their games is very at home on handheld systems, IMO. With that said, I keep hearing good things, and the physical edition is usually out-of-print when I look for it, so I'd be dumb not to grab it new at half-retail.
To the backlog it goes, unfortunately. Between Monster Hunter Rise, SMT Nocturne HD, Persona 5 Strikers (which I've still not touched, lol), and a whole bunch of games already in my backlog that I've committed to playing, my free time is spoken for for quite a while.
I'll definitely give you a tag. So you've played it and just didn't like it?
I'll check out your Cyberpunk posts. Negative thoughts don't surprise me. Nothing I've seen or heard makes me think it's anymore than an average experience, even when it comes to the not-hilariously-buggy PC version of the game.
Haven't played it in the slightest actually @Ralizah! Just something about it and the premise hasn't quite grabbed my attention/made me willing to part with my money.
