Games similar to Far Cry and Rise of the Tomb Raider

Thanks, I have Fallout 4, but not played it much. Perhaps a concerted effort needed to get into it.

Skyrim and Mafia I haven't tried. Just Cause I think I have as a freebie from PS Plus, but not ever installed...
 
Mad Max is good and is cheap, I played through it again a few weeks back. Ghost Recon Wildlands is also good and has a big map with lots to do, the fallen ghosts DLC is very good. The Division has good story missions if you have not played it, can probably get it cheep now.
 
Some great suggestions thanks. I’ll look into some of these a bit closer later on.

I killed the third herald in FC5 (PC) this morning, so my remaining campaign activity is limited on that game. I’m about a third of the way through FC3 (PC), having done it once on PS3 a few years ago. I’ve done FC4 twice; once on PS3 and now have it on PS4.

In regard to the question about open world vs story, I’m not too bothered.

A bit of a shooter, but not a brain-out FPS.

I have The Witcher 3, from the Steam sale recently, but not yet installed it.

I suppose what I’m looking for is something most similar to Far Cry; where you can go in all guns blazing, or stealthily. An overall aim to the game and a bit of a story, side missions and main missions, character and weapons advancement. I’ve really enjoyed the two recent Tomb Raider games. They’ve come a long way since tombraid.exe that I found on the HDD of a Pentium PC I bought many years ago. But haven’t all games?

Replaying Uncharted 2 last night, I decided that is just a bit too dumbed down. Although had I not played Uncharted in the first place many years ago, I’d not have tried Far Cry... I didn’t get into Far Cry until FC4 was out, and only recently played through Half Life 2 for the first time!

I’m a bit behind the curve when it comes to shooters as you might realise.

I have Black Mesa to play as well.

Some more action orientated than the games you've mentioned but Middle Earth Shdsoe of mordor is excellent and will likely be very cheap now. Its sequel Shadow of War too.

Seeing as you have the PlayStations have you played the last of us? It’s phenomenal!

Yes, I played through most of it on PS3, got to a particularly tough section and put it down! :o

Dying Light - I’ve read a few positive comments about this game in the main ‘PC Games - What are you playing’ thread.

Dying light is only good as a coop. In fact it’s excellent as one but a bit boring for me single player.
 
As an avid PC gamer that likes adventure games, the best one I've played is the Uncharted remastered collection and the latest ones. Honestly, give them a shot on a PS4. Brilliant series.
 
I've now got my head around Civ 5... I'd only played 1-4 extensively up until now, and never really gave 5 much time. I've probably put 40 hours in this week.

Back to adventure games, I did buy the Uncharted remastered collection and started playing that. Also, I note that Mafia III is free on PS Plus this month so I will download on the PS4.
