Topic: What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@RR529 Enjoy, defo one of my fave games this gen.

@RR529 glad you're enjoying it. In my opinion it's one of the best games to come out in the past decade. Was a great ride from start to finish!

Just restarted playing LBP3 with the kiddos and finally giving Driveclub Bikes a go.

NHL 19 arrived yesterday. I must, say I'm incredibly impressed.

The presentation is incredible, available modes are expansive to the point of daunting and the on-ice action is incredibly satisfying and scale-able; it's as complex or as simple as you could want.

Had a very fun evening playing, very much doubt I'll scratch the surface of the entire package!

@Kidfried Oxenfree is on sale on the PS store under the 'Games Under £16' section. I assume a similar offer is available for the rest of Europe?

@Kidfried Let us know how you get on with it. It is pretty unique. I might to a second run for the platinum soon, but it is a really good palate cleanser.
It’ll make you wonder why some AAA games can’t get voice acting this good.

I've largely stopped buying games that go on sale now, unless I'm going to get to them immediately (like I did with Cuphead), as they'll always go on sale again, and I pretty much always have several different games going at once.

@Kidfried @Ralizah Yeah, the sale issue is a tough one to navigate. I do have a very large backlog of games I bought on sale, which I probably would have had further opportunity to get later at a similar or even lower price, but I also have times when I regret not taking advantage of a sale. There has been multiple times that I get in the mood to play something and when I go to buy I just can’t make myself pay full price knowing it was previously on sale. Then I’m stuck waiting for it to go on sale again and often months may pass and my mood may have changed by then and I’m not up for it anymore. A recent example was the sale on the Persona 3 & 5 dance games that was going on and I waited too long to decide whether to buy and so the sale ended right before I decided to buy. Then I got in the mood for a rhythm dance game in that universe, so I had to just start with Persona 4 DAN last week (which I had previously found at retail) and I would have preferred to play them in order and start with P3 DIM first. So a missed opportunity.
I’ve liked using psprices.com to estimate how often certain games go on sale and being able to monitor them, as has been suggested by others on here.

Detroit Become Human. Am enjoying it so far. I was initially put off by the controls, I was never keen on using the right stick to interact or the gyro controls in previous games. I just feel they are not consistent enough which then breaks immersion when they do not work. Especially when it comes to say, avoiding a punch.

But I'm willing to bear with them for now as the rest of the game is fab.

@Th3solution Well, technically DAN came years before the other two games, so you're still playing them in order.

Jump Force, yeah it's a bit of a mess but i'm still really enjoying it

Picked up Spider-Man at the weekend.

Exactly as expected; pretty and entertaining - but no massive departure from previous games.

Soul Calibur 6, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Anthem, Fortnite, and Resident Evil 2 Remake. I need to just pick one and play through it, but they are all just so fun! Also, might hop back into AC: Odyssey to progress the story a bit more. That game is soo good, and I miss it.

Finished Tomb Raider (2013). Great game, ending was a bit weird; still good though. Rise of the Tomb Raider is next!

@Octane Glad you liked it enough to roll straight through to the sequel. I’ll be interested to hear your take. In some ways Rise is a superior game, but many people like to dump on it for some reason. I have fond memories of it. If you liked the first game, you should enjoy this one. It’s more Tomb Raider after all!

@Th3solution I'm going in blind. The only thing I know is that it's in a snowy area. That's what I remember from the trailers, and the box art is a dead giveaway

@Kidfried Since it's spring break (or whatever you want to call it), the gym and local pool only opened for regular paying members. My yearly sub doesn't cover that somehow. Anyway, that does mean I have way more time to play games than I normally have. But next week is business as usual.

Currently playing Fallout 4 and I love it. Played it on PC but never finished it.

Farcry 5. I've always enjoyed the games, but after i completed 4 I felt I've had enough of the series. But enough time has passed and I was getting an itch to play it.

Mostly Dragon Quest XI, Kingdom Hearts III, Caligula Effect Overdose, and Secret of Mana at the moment , but I'm sure I'll be slowly chipping away at my backlog which is hundreds of games strong at this point lol.

2 perfect companions;

Hitman and Tetris Effect. Pop off a level in Hitman, do some lines.

@TowaHerschel7 Loving the JRPGs. No idea were you get the time Rukky.

@JohnnyShoulder How you finding it Johnny? Worth a purchase?

Only CS GO
