So which games did you play?i had one for 6 months and played quite a few games but the fact i found it pretty poor in portable mode and it was sat right next to my xbox when docked it became an expensive paper weight so i sold it .

Generally have to agree with the OP unfortunately. The only outstanding games I can recollect are Zelda: BOTW, Mario Odyssey and Witcher 3. It says a lot that 2 of the top 3 PS4 games on Metacritic are remastered versions of previous gen games.
I'm no industry expert but would guess that a big issue is the cost and time required to develop a game these days in terms of graphics etc. It's been 8 years since the last Elder Scrolls, 6 years since the last GTA, TLOU 2 still isn't out yet etc. As a result we get a lot of sequels from developers whose standards aren't so high and are therefore willing to rush to put a game together, or we get a lot more indie games which can get away with having dated graphics. New IP now becomes an even bigger risk for developers.
None of the many brilliant "indie" games have any of those issues. Turn your focus away from "AAA" games.agree with your point that i probably grew up in the wow factor of gaming
i might have to look at picking up a second hand ps4 then , what doesnt help is i do not really like open world games that much and when you combine that with remastered games, poor sequels and rinse and repeat games that have not changed and then factor out games that need huge grinding on which i dont have time for it does not leave much left ,
is it worth shelling out on a ps4 for though.You need to play uncharted 4. It’s brilliant. Story driven non open world linear game.

Hollow knight.Will have to look through my gamepass which i have had since it came in and the new ultimate pass
Any recommendations?
Hmm. Well. You’ve got “the last of us” to play through as well. I think you’ll enjoy that too.is it worth shelling out on a ps4 for though.
Has the OP got A PC? If so do a free trial of PS Now to get a feel of Uncharted 4, God Of War, The Last of us. Wont look as nice as PS4 Pro but its a cheaper option.
spent 15 years building gaming pcs but finished with them 3years ago and got a decent lappy which is no use for gaming now lol

There have been some amazing games this gen, Bloodborne is the stand out for me and that's no sequel.
Other mentions:
TLOU remastered =ps4
Zelda BOTW=hated this game
UC4
AC Odyssey and Origins not tried odyssey but not a massive fan of sneak games
RE7
Far Cry 5 did enjoy this and only a few levels left but new dawn looks atrocious
Dying Light my fave game this gen especially for the coop online aspect
Forza Horizon 3 and 4 just could not get on with 4 as dont like open world driving games ( going to get grid)
Take the point there are a lot on that list that are sequels but that doesn't mean the games aren't great.
TLOU2 will undoubtedly be amazing, im very confident in Naughty Dog to deliver on that.
I agree - the games I've listed above are not open world, at least not in the usual way . It sounds like we have similar taste in games, and I maintain that this generation has been excellentAs you can see some people just dont like a certain genre of game and mine is im not a big fan of open world games which every one seems to aim for now as you can fill it with loot boxes ,in game purchases etc etc i really tried to get into red dead 2 but it was so slow watching paint dry was more fun .
