Games you're playing, and games...

Its my games on library on X series X: Jedi Fallen Order, Cyberpunk 2077,Gears of War 5,Doom 2,Doom Eternal,Metro Exodus,Division 2, Destiny 2, Assasin Creed Odyssey.
Playing last time Doom Eternal and today Cyberpunk 2077. Currently downloading Jedi Fallen order :)
 
Just finished God of War (I know, late to the party, but free with PS Collection). Loved it, though I thought the end came very quickly and unexpectedly; I expected the land of giants to be another realm to explore, not just the ashes stuff, and I thought the "unlockable cos Odin mean" realms would be at some point.

I always thought I didn't like SP games - I play a LOT of MP games, predominantly - but the PS5 and more time at home/inside has made me change that. However I've realised what I do enjoy is semi-open world SP games, like GoW or GTAV, RDR2 etc. I've just started Last Of Us and yeah... not hooked. Far too linear and already getting annoyed with the NPC getting in my way.

So can anyone recommend any other similar SP but semi open world games? I'm hovering over the buy button for either Spider Man: Miles Morales or Demon's Souls as well but if there's any in the PS Collection (Uncharted? Fallout? Blood Borne?) then I may as well give them a go first.

I highly recommend Horizon Zero Dawn.

Jedi Fallen Order and Dark Souls might be your kind of games too.

Edit: I missed that they must be in the PS collection.

It just felt cheap. The camp I was in was closed off by wire fence the whole way around, and I was in the corner. So how a wolf got to I don’t know.

Think I was a bit quick to dismiss the game completely over one cheap death :p got back into it today, got a much better arsenal at my disposal now, and my bike much farther upgraded.

got mobbed by hundreds* of infected earlier which was great. Sort of just mooching around looting stuff when I can hear this rumbling in the distance, turned round :eek: holy ****, I didn’t stand a chance.

*may not have actually been hundreds, but there was a hell of a lot. I got swamped.

It's always kind of been just on my radar. That last sentence you said just got me rather interested

It really was a fantastic “lol” moment, even though I didn’t stand a chance. Game starts off a little slow, but I’ve got to the third camp now and I can’t put it down.

I've seen some footage of a sawmill and yeah there's hundreds of them. Pretty intense at times.
 
Just finished Battlefield Bad Company. Nowhere near as good as my memory would have me believe. Became a chore to play by the end. Let’s see if the second instalment fares any better.
 
How open world are we talking? ie Does it still have a main storyline and ending?

The thing I really liked about God of War is that all the exploring and side quests were to benefit the main storyline (from Kratos's mouth himself). Conversely, I lost myself on RDR2 a bit. I absolutely loved it, but I found myself too often wandering off and hunting or collecting plants which served no real purpose or gave any advantage to the main story. As a result I never actually completed the main story as I felt like I'd just had enough of playing it generally.

Skyrim can be like that. You can spend days just exploring. I always try and stick to the main story and do some side quests but yeah there are a ton of 'ooh what's in that cave over there!' moments. But yes there is a story and an ending.

I picked up Ghost of Tsushima in the sale so looking forward to giving that a play.

On reflection I think you should try subnautica.

It's an open space, collect resource and build a base type game, but has a story all the wya through and everything has a purpose.

One of my favourite games that I had stupidly not tried for years. Strongly recommend.

Just suggested my step dad who is a COD only type of gamer, and he said he hasn't stopped playing subnautica since Xmas day.
