@Splat Yeah, it’s been stated before, but use the in-game signs pointing to the different departments and offices to find your way around. That works pretty well 90% of the time and is easier to navigate than looking at the map. Control is one of my favorite games of the last few years!

Having a few hours today on Ghost of Tsushima I think. I wish I had more time to play this gem.
I've found when I have a long break from playing I struggle to play for the first few fights, remembering the mechanics. Whilst it takes inspiration from other games it definitely has a unique feel to it also!
I'm also deciding what to play after finishing. I've got the following on my shortlist: Returnal, Uncharted Series, Demon's Souls, Control. Anybody recommend what to go for next?
@RogerRoger oh I completely agree with that. I bought a PS4 back in early 2017 and basically purchased all the main Naughty Dog games at the same time (although my main was Arkham Knight). Ended up playing the first three Uncharted games relatively close together and by 3 I was becoming a little burnt out on the mechanics and vibe. Took me a long time before I finally played 4 and enjoyed it so much more as a separate experience.
I made sure I spaced out the BioShock trilogy last year and am doing the same with Mass Effect, finished the first early last month and have played some games since before I start 2.
Maybe some series get better or at least stay as good when played back to back but I just think one is better off leaving something of a gap between each installment. Helps keep things fresh.
@RogerRoger makes sense! I may even start them now. There's some days after work I just fancy a quick drop in game, so that will be perfect.
@Col_McCafferty I had a similar issue with Dark Souls 1 and 3 recently. I finally completed DS1, and went straight for DS3 and was struggling. Didn't have the same enthusiasm to progress and haven't touched it since. Some games just do not feel good back to back.
@Col_McCafferty I played Uncharted 1 - 3 over a period of about 12 months, in-between games and was kinda begrudgingly playing them towards the end of each game. I did have Uncharted 4 but I gave it to my niece when I gave her my ps4. It is part of the PS Plus collection, but I was hoping for a 4k 60fps update but that doesn't seem to be forthcoming.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Bought subnautica in the sale and am giving it a go!

@Col_McCafferty@JohnnyShoulder@NedStarksGhost@RogerRoger I agree on the philosophy of granting some time between sequels in most cases. But I have found sometimes waiting too long between playing installments in a series runs the risk of sapping momentum. I’ve experienced it recently with Resident Evil and with Assassins Creed. Upon completion of RE2 I was so excited to play RE3 but figured I’d give some time on other things and come back to it and in the meantime I’ve lost some of my motivation for the series. I’m sure it will rekindle after a few minutes in the game, but the inertia of playing what’s on my mind has softened the preexisting enthusiasm. Same when I finished AC Origins. I really wanted to jump straight into Odyssey, but restrained myself because I knew it would burn me out. Now I don’t even have the game on my next 10 game layout. All excitement is gone. But perhaps playing Ghost of Tsushima in between has had as much to do with that as anything. And honestly, I’m in process of Uncharted replays and after UC1 I put off UC2 and am struggling to see where I’ll work it in. Maybe reading Ned’s impressions of the series will re-energize my desire to resume my replay. I really to wonder how I’ll like UC2 now since it was probably my very favorite PS3 game several years ago.

@Th3solution Oh funny you should mention Resi 3, just finished it last night and whilst it's not quite as excellent as Resi 2 I still think it's definitely worth playing. Some people might finish in under 6 hours but with me closer to 12. I had a lot fun with it, some frustrations as well but those usually involved boss fights!
Give it a go mate, didn't take long to get me hooked.
Now I have finished it I'm in a bit of a quandary as to what to play next. Thinking Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy VII or maybe dive back into Resi with 7 on Plus. I also have Miles Morales, Control and Ratchet and Clank on my list but I've only recently finished Spider-Man so want to take a break from Insomniac games for the time being.
I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on my thoughts as I go through them, I'm intrigued myself to see if I decide I want to power through them or not! I didn't expect a mini experiment to happen when I joined this forum!
@Col_McCafferty Do you have RE4? I forgot if you’ve played it yet.
I’d lean toward trying one of the Insomniac games. It would be the biggest change of pace from what you just played. Unless you feel the horror desire hasn’t been quenched yet, in which case RE7 or RE4 would be interesting to do back to back since the gameplay of both is apparently a huge change — more actiony in the case of one and to first person view with new characters in the case of the other.
Control is also light horror, more of the psychological horror vibe. Not like zombies, gore, and jump scares, but rather weird incantations and floating corpses. Combat is ace and very kinetic and unique. ME2 would be a fresh change too, as would FF7, which I’m thinking of starting within the next couple months too. (But also have the two Insomniac games to compete with for my attention and the RE games too 😅)

@Th3solution Hi mate, no I don't but seeing as there could be a Resi 4 remake at some point I'll wait until then.
I'm thinking I'll try something really different and go for Final Fantasy VII. Only question regarding that is I have a PS5 but my copy of the game is PS4. Will I get the option at the time of downloading to go for the PS5 version or will this only come up once I've downloaded the PS4 game?
It's not a problem either way but I just want to make sure I do it right!
Thanks for your recommendations as well, I'll play every game mentioned at some point this year for sure.
@Col_McCafferty I’m pretty sure that you have an option to download the PS5 version from the get-go by clicking the little dots on the game’s page which brings up the option to switch over to the PS5 version, then hit download from there. I’ve not done it on this game yet, but I don’t think the PS4 ver. has to download with FF7R that I’ve heard of, but I could be wrong. I do know the DLC won’t show up as an option on the PS4 version.
On Control: Ultimate Edition — yes, the PS4 version auto-downloads at the same time as the PS5 version for some strange reason and you can just go back and delete the useless PS4 version. It’s a bigger file anyways.
