Not had a PlayStation since the OG Xbox was released and have just bought a PS4 on the members market. Console wise I generally play RPG / adventure games so am looking for exclusives that fit the bill (may be tempted by others). It's coming with Uncharted (although not sure if it's the original or not). Can you please give me some recommendations, hopefully can bag a few cheap ones second hand.
 
Had a look through the above and think I'll go with these although Ghosts and GoW may be a bit too fast paced, generally not a fan of a dodge / parry action games (which ruled out Bloodborne).

Days Gone
Horizon Zero Dawn
Ghost of Tsushima
God of War
Last of Us
Uncharted

Any others I should consider?

Edit
Just seen a load of these at Argos for 12-17 quid as part of the hit collection. Will see how the second hand route goes but at least I have these to fall back on.

Ghosts of Tsushima isn’t too fast paced (it doesn’t really play too much like a souls and is much more forgiving) and you can always pop it on easy. Hated my first go with it…revisited it a year or so later on the ps5, and couldn’t put it down.
I'll give it a go.
 
I'm currently on my first playthrough of Days Gone. Best game I've played in quite a while. Reasonably slow paced for the most part although some of the fights get a bit hectic.
I'm in the minority but I didn't like Spiderman. Button mashing combat and all a bit same same. Most others have loved it though.
Yeah Spiderman doesn't appeal to me at all.
 
Uncharted the Nathan Drake Collection came with my PS4 and just found The Last of Us Remastered and Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition on the PS store for 8 quid each. Should keep me busy for a while. I'll keep an eye out for the others on the cheap.
 
Dont buy The Last Of us 2 until you have finished the first as its currently £28 new and was on offer at most places over xmas for £8.50 and will probably come back in the future maybe after the show has finished the first season.

I agree with all the other recommendations especially Days Gone, finished it a few times and just loved it. Bloodbourne - not for me unfortunately too frustratinly difficult for it to be enjoyable.

I will also add:

Ratchet and Clank
Detroit Become Human
Heavy Rain
Until Dawn
Death Stranding - A bit marmite this one.
Thanks, Ratchet and Clank is on sale for 8 quid too so took a punt on that. Detroit Become Human looks interesting.

List is now:

Days Gone
Detroit Become Human
Horizon Zero Dawn

Ghost of Tsushima
God of War
Last of Us
Ratchet & Clank
Uncharted


Plenty of game hours there.

Bought the Deluxe version of Detroit Become Human and got Heavy Rain with it. Need to stop buying and start playing now!
 
I'm a good few hours into The Last Of Us now, just cleared a checkpoint area after Bill's village. Really enjoying it even though I'm dying a lot due to being **** at aiming and running out of ammo regularly. It looks like there is another story line off the main menu, is this worth playing. How about the sequel? I'm sure I've seen lots of raging about it.

Have completed The Last of Us and Heavy Rain so far. While I did really enjoy the former I feel it didn't quite live up to the hype. Heavy Rain surprised me, it came free with another game or I wouldn't have even played it. Didn't think it would be my sort of game and the first 30 minutes or so nearly had me quit but am so glad i stuck with it. Onto Ratchet and Clank now.

Detroit Become Human is a cracking game. I’ve played through most of the exclusives since owning a PS5 and they’re all excellent.



Heavy rain is really impressive too.
Just started it. Very similar to Heavy Rain in that the start is pretty boring. Looks pretty good on my 65" LG CX though considering I only have a standard PS4.

Have gone for experienced skill level although I always struggle with the button position as so used to Xbox's.

Have you played Ghosts yet?

Such a good game and well polished, I played it on ps4 and did begin a replay on ps5, my attention went elsewhere, really need to get back onto it.
Not yet. Played TLOU, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank and currently on Detroit Become Human. Don't have the ones in white yet, am keeping an eye out of deals on the digital versions.
 
Finished Detroit become human last night. Really enjoyed it despite it not being my sort of game. Onto Horizon Zero Dawn now which i played up the point of being a teenager and can tell this is going to be great already. Picked up the last of us 2 for 8 quid the other week too so onto that after.
 
You already got a good list there, but I can recommend Death Stranding as well (I know it's not a Sony exclusive). It's a weird game for sure (Kojima - duh!), but definitely worth it at the end of the day IMO. Also, it doesn't require razor-sharp reflexes to beat, but it can get annoying at times...
Must admit it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.
 
So Horizon is pretty big! Just realised I could stroll out way more on the map. Slightly confusing with all the different weapon types and ammo but I am really liking it. Struggling on the hunt tasks, aiming for specific body parts etc, I am pretty bad at aiming on the PC in my old age and find the console so much harder.
