@Jaz007@JohnnyShoulder@Elodin Thanks for your thoughts. There are some good recommendations. As far as Moonlighter, it does look interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for another sale. It looks like a good future PS Plus game.
I think Another World is in my library so I’ll consider that, although I seem to remember some people bagging on it.
I really enjoyed Resogun back in the day, so maybe it’s time to redownload it. And I’ve never been into COD, KH, or Samurai Warriors but of the three SW sounds the most interesting. And I love Uncharted and have often considered a replay of the first 3 on the Nathan Drake Collection whenever I see it on sale for like $9. We’ll see. Part of my problem is that I am trying not to spend too much money. So those that are in my Plus collection or backlog will probably be things I should try first.

@Jaz007 Oh yeah, I really liked Never Alone. That’s the perfect kind of game I was looking for but yes, I already played it back when it was on Plus a couple years ago.
I did fire up an old game from the PS Plus backlog — Velocity 2X to see if that quenched my gaming thirsts and it seems to be a good choice so far. I liked the first game. Velocity Ultra. It’s like Resogun in that it’s a arcadey space shooter but also a simple platformer and levels are really quick, and it has an addictive simple gameplay with a basic storyline. It actually got a 10/10 on Push Square, and I’m not sure if I’d go quite that far but I’m only about 20% into it. Total playtime is 3-8 hours or more if I want the platinum (probably not) so it will suffice for now. It’s a good game. But yeah, Never Alone is a nice little niche platformer with a lot of character.

Has anyone played Need for Speed Payback? It is currently on sale in the ps store. I understand there was some negativity surrounding microtransactions when it was released, but apparently the dev was supposed to phase them out. Done a quick Google and there are couple things which contradict each other, like they were never actually phased out. Can anyone confirm this please?

@Frigate Cheers man! I may give it a go as I'm in the mood for an arcadey racer. Not too keen on the grind as I don't enjoy that in any game. I've got Dirt Rally but that is a bit too hard-core for me. I may give Dirt 4 a go when it is on sale next as I hear it is more accessible.

@JohnnyShoulder Just seeing this now, but have fun! NFS Payback is pretty awesome. I never had a problem with the modding system, other than It can be a little time consuming, but it's all good. Don't remember any micro-transactions, but you probably can get boosts, perks, and other stuff that you don't need.
@Ralizah Both fit those categories but I’d say God of War wins out in the second category in particular as the different areas of the world are much more distinct whereas Spidey is quite samey throughout NYC.
I’d also put God of War as one of the best of this generation with Spidey merely being a great game.
@Tasuki I thought I tag you as I remember a while back you were left disappointed by The Crew 2. If you've not played Need for Speed Payback I can reccomend it if you still have that itch for that type of game. It has the same sort of vibe as the first Crew.

@MikeSteel Assuming both bundles cost the same and you have read reviews and you think you would enjoy both equally. Days Gone is new and therefore more expensive if you’re planning on getting both anyway and it would make sense to have Days Gone as part of the bundle and pick up Spider-Man separately as it’s cheaper.
@MikeSteel God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn are must plays ps4 exclusive wise. If you are after something a bit different Until Dawn and Detroit Become Human surprised me how much I enjoyed them. And last but not least, Bloodborne is highly recommended if you like those type of games. Pretty much all the exclusives are worth a shot depending on what you like. Apart from the Knack games, you can skip those.

@MikeSteel Welcome to the forums, by the way! And welcome to the PS4, your new favorite console. I see you have an Xbox One, so assuming you’ve played all the good multi-platform games already, then the exclusives are definitely the place to start. I agree with @JohnnyShoulder ‘s recommendations, namely HZD, Detroit, and Bloodborne. There are hardly any bad exclusives in the bunch, but notably:
For open world, story driven 3rd person action adventure games (in the vein of Spider-Man and Days Gone) -
Uncharted 4 and Uncharted Lost Legacy are wonderful. Assuming you played 1-3 on the prior gen, but if not, then start with the remasters on The Nathan Drake Collection.
Infamous Second Son and First Light are pretty good too. Especially if you played Infamous 1 & 2 on prior gen, but if you didn’t, it’s not required.
For your Japanese gaming fix -
If you like brawlers and excellent story (albeit quirky as well), then the Yakuza series is popular. Most people start with Yakuza 0, which is the only of the long series I have played but liked it, just too many games to have gotten to the others yet. Between Y0 and Y6, there are remasters of 1 and 2 on PS4.
Also Gravity Rush remastered and Gravity Rush 2 are wonderful open world-ish action games with a little bit of Japanese flair, hard to put into a specific genre.
And of course Persona 5 is the go-to exclusive JRPG, if you like story heavy, life-sim, and turn based combat.
Other random eccentric types of games -
Shadow of the Colossus Remake is extremely well done, even if you played the original on PS2 or PS3 it worth a go. And if you like Ueda’s games, The Last Guardian is supposed to be fantastic, but I haven’t got to it yet.
Definitely play Ratchet and Clank if you have any affinity for 3rd person shooting and 3D platforming. Even if you never played R&C on PS2 and PS3, you’ll like this reboot.
Phew! That’s quite a bit right there. The joy of this is that most of these games are dirt cheap now. Especially with the current Days of Play sale, I think the Uncharted games are $10 and HZD would be around that price also. Those would be my recommended starting points, based on your interest in Spidey and DG.
