Saw that Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin was €35 and at that price I wanted to get it. As always, it's hard to know when PS4 games released at the end of a console's life cycle will remain in stock or get more discounted, so I figured €35 is a good middle ground.
I also got Okami HD and Sakura Wars at roughly €20 each. I never finished Okami on the Wii back in the day. I want to beat it but it's been 12 years since I played it and I can't remember anything about the game, so I might as well start over from the beginning and on PS4 this time. Sakura Wars interested me because it seems like a chill anime game with simple gameplay.
I'm currently playing through Nioh, which I understand is by the same developers? SoP looks utterly bonkers (in all the best ways) and I'm intrigued massively by it...
@CJD87 It's probably going to be a while until I get to that game. But yeah, I've also read that the Nioh developers made Stranger of Paradise and that it's kinda like a Souls game but with Final Fantasy elements like choosing different jobs and casting spells. It looks pretty cool all things considered, so I'm looking forward to playing it.
Picked up Dusk Diver. Saw the article about the sequel and thought it siunded interesting. Searched the store and the original had 60% off until tomorrow.
@ThereThere I’m excited to hear how you fare. (Welcome back, btw! 😄 Not sure I officially did that yet). As you may recall when we spoke of the game before, the discussion in the Tavern thread is what really saved my Bloodborne experience. I’m certain I’d have given up after a couple hours into the game if not for a little collaboration from other Push Squires. It’s been a couple years ago, but if you want it, I’ll have some advice to pass on which might save you some headache.

@ThereThere I never heard about Broken Age before, but seeing its from Tim Schafer, chances are I'm prolly going to like it. Picked it up as well since it's on sale now, that why i like to read what other people buy it sometimes gives me ideas haha

Coolo. Great minds and all that... Supposed to be a great metroidvania and I love the 70s aesthetic, was the trailer sealed the deal for me though!

@HallowMoonshadow I’ll be curious to see how you like GoT. Sucker Punch puts a lot of polish on their games, so you’ll be able to feel the quality right away. Whether you click with the gameplay and story will be the question.
I never played any Sly Cooper games, but I quite enjoyed all the inFAMOUS games. However, GoT is such a change in direction for them that I didn’t really feel much similarity to their older stuff.

Ain't that the truth?
It's been a while since my last true open world game... I think aside from a brief stint with Genshin Impact for a second time it was Days Gone (Which I hated on both fronts) so... Yeah. Hopefully I'll enjoy Tsushima! 😂

Well I definitely wasn't expecting anything like Sly to rear it's head but I assumed some inFAMOUS DNA/design philosophy would've bled into GoT at least! 😄

@HallowMoonshadow I suppose the open world-ness is a carry over, and some of the 3rd person shooting mechanics could be iterated from inFAMOUS, but GoT is definitely it’s own thing.
And like @RogerRoger says, there’s a slight risk of open world fatigue in the middle sections, so it could be beneficial to have an alternate game to play alongside as a distraction if it grows tedious. Honestly I felt it dragged less than other open world games like Assassins Creed or even Horizon Zero Dawn. The uniqueness of the navigation systems and guidance from wind, along with more focused side quests that have mini narratives made it feel like it had less ‘filler content’ than other open worlders. But still, if it’s not your first choice in genre, our only hope will be that you enjoy Jin as a protagonist and get invested in the storyline. It will help a lot if you’re interested in Japanese/Mongolian history.

@HallowMoonshadow I really enjoyed Ghost, only playing it when I got my PS5 so without all the hype around it.
That opening section is fantastic and I thought the whole atmosphere of the game was wonderful (how can people ruin that with English dialogue? ) and had a great supporting cast too.
My main gripe was that the game was quite quick to give you all your abilities so you had everything about a third of the way in, apart from one skill.
