I'm not a Star Wars fan, but I highly recommend Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I just finished it and I really enjoyed it. If you're a fan of the recent Tomb Raider trilogy then you should definitely consider giving this one a go.
If anyone can think of any similar games on the PS4, please let me know. The only one I can think of is Batman: Arkham Asylum.
@Bentleyma- If by similar you mean “3D Metroidvania” ie. non-linearity via interconnected maps and ability gates with backtracking, acquisition of skills or keys to open areas in previous parts of the map — then probably Soulsborne games would fit the bill. The combat is more similar to Fallen Order than Arkham Asylum of course. Also supposedly (I’ve not played it yet) God of War is set up a little like that with hubs and unlocking areas. The other that comes to mind is the Darksiders series, which I’ve not played any of either, but I think it has a similar map set up. Oh, and also the older Resident Evil games — Like RE1 and RE2 Remakes.

@Th3solution Thanks! I'm not really a fan of the trial and error gameplay of Soulsborne games and I've played all the other games you mentioned, with the exception of Darksiders III, which I forgot about! I actually own it thanks to PlayStation Plus, so I might give it a go soon! I really liked the first two games.
Me and Crimsontadpoles had a conversation with johnnyshoulder about Crash Team Racing about two or three weeks ago ago @KratosMD
The story mode is fairly decent in length, especially to 100% it. Even more so if you go for the classic style where you can't change characters/classes whenever ya want.
Not to mention there's also 40+ tracks either for single races or the Cups. There's also time trials, ring rally, battle mode, crystal challenges. There's a meaty amount of content you can enjoy without playing online.
Only thing is if you want say... Spyro as a character you're gonna have to wait til he rotates into the Pit Stop store til you can buy him with the wumpa coins you earn from races (You have to be connected to the internet at least to get those)
The only reason I stopped playing was I got burnt out on trying to do the grand prix stuff when that was all going on. Since that's all over now though you can go at it at a very lesuirely pace, get what ya like though there'll be a LOT of stuff to go through thanks to all the added content.

@KratosMD Sonic Forces is decent. I'd say if you're a completionest then it's worth £20. If you're just going to play the story and be done with it then you might want to wait until it's cheaper, as the game can be beaten in an afternoon.
@KratosMD It's fun as a single player game. Like Foxy says, there's plenty of content. There's 40 or so tracks, and various modes such as time trials, relic runs (similar to time trials but with crates that pause the clock), and the CTR challenge where you have to win the race while also finding the C, T and R tokens.
My main issue with the game was with how things are unlocked. When playing purely single player, it can be a bit tedious to earn enough wumpa coins to buy extra characters, character skins, and cosmetic vehicle parts. Getting enough coins is more bearable in multiplayer.
But overall, it's a good game with lots of content.
@KratosMD I only played the original CTR and, as other have said, the “campaign” is good fun with plenty of modes to focus on. Getting all relics, crystals etc on the tracks leaves you with plenty to do.
Hollow Knight VoidHeart Edition without a doubt one of the best Indies this generation, it's a challenging action-adventure Metroidvania style of game. Brilliant but simple combat with amazingly challenging platforming in a certain section of the game, the has quite a bit of depth to it which the game doesn't tell you. And has a lot of content, I brought it both on the PS4 Pro & XboxOne X. Blasphemous another one of these style of game's, based on what I've played so far it's really good and who recommend it. Streets of Rage 4 highly recommend amazing art style & music, with amazing gameplay that has a added depth to it risk & reward move sets. You can do big amount of damage with certain move sets but it'll drain your health, by using normal move's you can gain the lost health back. But if you take any damage once you'll lose all the health you used with the special move sets, think Bloodborne.Void Bastards would also recommend it's a FPS with lots of different types of weapons & gadgets you can upgrade, you go from space ship to ship collecting need materials for survival food, fuel, and materials to upgrade weapons etc. Facing off against different aliens with different abilities, it's not a mindless shooter you have to use your weapons & gadgets to kill the aliens, you only get one life if you die you'll get a new character. It's a real good game, and different to other FPS.
Would anyone recommend Metal Gear: Survive? I have played a couple of games in the main series, and didn't really care for them. Perhaps this is a different kettle of fish?

@RogerRoger@Draco_V_Ecliptic haha homework, I've nearly finished survive, just got a little bit of grinding to do before the final boss (haven't played it in about a week and got back into my X files re watch)
I can't really be of much help though, the game is similar in a lot of ways but also different in a lot of ways lol. Kind of a survival, looting, crafting type game but with MGS style of play. There's more of a focus on melee weapons at first than mgs has. Also there is not as much of a story, I'm only really playing it out of curiosity as it is part of a more general mgs playthrough!
@KratosMD crash team racing is like crack but as others have said, it's a massive grind offline and also still a grind online tbh. I played it for about 6 months non stop because I wanted to unlock everything and somehow got ridiculously good at it (I'm not normally good enough in competitive games). I loved the game, I was compelled to push through the grind for the unlockables. The amount to unlock is comparable to mario kart Wii (which is my favourite MK, and CTR is just as good a game, if not better once you've got a handle of the controls)
How is Ni No Kuni Remastered, does it hold up? I played a little bit of the second one and really liked it.
Ni No Kuni definitely holds up today, but the combat system is different to Ni No Kuni 2 it's more turned based combat. And instead of the little coloured guys you get familiars I think they are called that you take into combat with you. If you liked Ni No Kuni 2 & like turned based combat you'll Ni No Kuni. I brought the remastered on sale, which I'll play at a later date because like Ni No Kuni 2 you can spend upto 100 hours playing it.
Would anyone recommend Conan Exiles? I saw a bad review of it on Youtube, but the footage of the game looked quite good, despite what people said - enlisting your own thralls, building your own fortress and dungeon-crawling all look like great fun to me. Plus you can craft your own weapons and armor. So, to those of you who've played it and loved/hated it, what would you say the ups and downs are?

@thiz By the way, there’s no point playing KH3 without playing at least the first two, you’ll understand literally nothing. The plot’s insane but without playing the earlier ones, the 3rd game would seem like a madman’s ramblings.
@thiz I guess you’re not a PS Plus member? Uncharted 4 and OnRush have been offered for “free” (if you can call it that since there is a fee to be a member) within the last year or so. Both are good games imo, but I liked all the Uncharteds, so I’m not sure how you’d feel about UC4 since it’s basically an evolution of the same formula. It does look great and run well, like a Naughty Dog game does. And the writing it always top notch. Gameplay is more varied than the early games, but still based on the same third person cover shooting; just now a sprinkling of stealth and more verticality of the set pieces. Well worth $10 though as far as I’m concerned, but your mileage may vary.
OnRush is more polarizing, some love it and some really dislike it. The gameplay is not standard “racing to be the first across the finish line.” Definitely a unique take on the racing genre and I liked it for the fresh take. It’s base price looks like is $25, which is maybe a little much so I’d wait until a sale — it does look like it occasionally has a drop in price, and was $5 just a month ago. I don’t remember that but this is according to psprices.com which is a great resource to tell you the current sale prices and the history of what the lowest prices have been on any given game on the PSN. According to the graph for OnRush it’s been on sale for a deep price cut twice in the last few months (was briefly $2.50 back in May!)
But the games you listed look like they’d be great to nab — Death Stranding is one of my all-time favorites and I haven’t finished Persona 5 but it’s a ton of content to keep you occupied and a “can’t miss” if you’re a fan of the genre.
