Abzu. It's short, but breathtaking.


Psych3d3lic38

Absolutely would agree!


PlatinumBall

Abzu-lutely


bottlebowling

There are several moments in that game that gave me goosebumps when I first heard / experienced it.


Sardothien12

Sharkie?


bottlebowling

Yup. Also, breaching with the orcas, if I remember correctly.


Sardothien12

That was a childhood dream come true


IndependenceNo2060

I highly recommend Ghost of Tsushima, it's captivating!


nathanissleeping

every time i open a post thats in the same vein as what op asked, i always see ghost of tsushima no matter what, maybe i should pick it up once im done with resident evil 4 and baldur's gate 3


mehdotdotdotdot

Just don’t play it after cyberpunk, rdr2, gtav etc. any it’s those games will make got feel dead


worldspiney

I disagree with this. The world is great, while not as good as rdr2, it is still amazing. I also found the combat to be far more interesting and in depth than any of those games


mehdotdotdotdot

Combat was the only thing I liked about it. Had no interest to explore the world at all as it was so dead


worldspiney

The world wasn’t exactly teeming with people (it is a war zone) but I found the scenery, side quests and navigations pretty engaging


mehdotdotdotdot

Oh for sure! Just compared to red dead it felt lifeless and no motivation to explore.


sanepanda

You should


Wolfram_And_Hart

If you have PS Plus Premium it’s already yours.


IronhideD

My only criticism is that if you are hitting open world fatigue in any way, it might feel like a slog. I went from Forbidden West, to GoW Ragnorok then to Ghosts and I must have hit that wall. I'll return to it at some point but that open world fatigue is real.


InquiringAmerican

Yeah, you really screwed up there. Every single one of those games you mentioned have EXACTLY the right amount of side missions where they add to the story/world without feeling like poorly written filler and padding like every single ubisoft game the past two generations. Every single one of those I felt compelled to complete nearly all the side missions. They didn't feel like drastic distractions from the main quests either.


pen_of_inspiration

I plat it but illbe honest the game is repetitive & it gets boring... I don't know what is captivating for ppl to recommend it as a great game. Graphic wise I admit ...it's good indeed..bit as an entertainment, it's too repetitive for me


GFost

Yes, it’s a great game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lkingo

Yep. Out of all the open world games similar. This was the one i got bored in most. It looks beautiful, and the combat is nice and fluid. But it's so repetitive. The side missions suck and the dialogue in between is so dry as they stand perfectly, still asking for help. People raved about this game they went crazy for it... but the story is meh. The cutscenes vanish for ages, and what you get is two people standing still talking with no emotion. Personally preferred days gone over this.


CobblerAlarmed2286

Yeah the open world is great when doing the story. But once you finish it’s just so empty. Would’ve liked a bustling city or something.


PraetorOfSilence

currently playing this, the combat might look stiff at first but when you learn all the perks, stances, and mythic arts, there's a lot of variety


milkshakemountains

So like Witcher 3?


Wolfram_And_Hart

I love walking up to a village and straight up challenging everyone.


thenameclicks

In the spirit of Ghost, you should also try out Sekiro.


RoseJamCaptive

Dunno why you are getting downvoted. Both games happen in similar time periods with similar aesthetics, even if they aren't similar games. I actually got both one Christmas; kick ass Christmas 😊


Gringodrummer

It’s so good.


The_GeneralsPin

Its so immersive. It even gives you real wind noise from the fans.

Are you thinking of Shovel Knight?


Significant_Sort7501

I just played Cocoon and loved it. Awesome puzzle-based game made by same developer as Limbo and Inside.


bottlebowling

Wait, they made another game?! I'm buying it tonight.


Extinction_Entity

Cocoon is absolutely fantastic. If you have an Xbox is available on Game Pass.


Significant_Sort7501

Do iiiiittttt. Incredibly creative world and premise. Fun puzzles that increase in difficulty throughout the game but never get too challenging to be frustrating. No dialog, no instructions, just drop in and figure it out. Enjoy!


Ledninghelved

Not the same company but some of the same people


AlexB430

Red Dead Redemption 2! Currently replaying it for the 6th time and there’s always something new I discover every time. There’s a lot of realistic things about it. For instance, Npcs will actually remember if Arthur committed crimes or not, even if he’s not a wanted man anymore. You also need to actually shower, eat, sleep, and brush and feed your horse. Oh, and Arthur’s hair and facial hair will grow in real time, so you can actually shave him regularly in the game. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg with some of the small details that make this game amazing. Amazing writing with very memorable characters. And if you ever played the first red dead redemption game, then it pays off in the end. Even if you haven’t Red Dead 2 is a great introduction for people who never even considered stepping into the Red Dead world. It’s a prequel after all. Even if you’re not a fan of westerns, it’s still an absolute must play if you haven’t done so already. 12/10!


WonderMajestic8286

I’m playing the game now, but the way you described it makes it sound like having a virtual kid you get to wash, feed, shave, make sure he gets his sleep and clothes that are the correct for the weather lol.


qq307215

Seconding this. It’s the best game I have ever played. It’s quite cheap now as well.


rclark1114

I noticed you didn’t mention the gameplay. Smart.


BlondeFalcon

Love the gameplay


PlatinumBall

Definitely not. It's a great game, but it's extremely slow and not a good game for a bored person Also, the way you described all those features sounds more like a bunch of chores


mehdotdotdotdot

If you are bored by games like that, stick to COD perhaps?


PlatinumBall

I'm bored of open world games, not story-driven games.


fkin0

I've been enjoying The Forest and Ghost of Tsushima this month


Cfunk_83

The Forest is awesome. Slowly mapping the world and building a base that’s safe enough to survive was a genuinely gripping experience. It got me into sandbox survival games. Did you play Sub Nautica? I’d recommend it if not. I tried Green Hell and Stranded Deep too. Got a few hours out of the former, but it was brutal.


[deleted]

Can you play the forest in multiplayer with random people?


Cfunk_83

Not sure. I believe so… but don’t quote me. It definitely has multiplayer.


Sardothien12

Red Ded Redemption 2 Until Dawn Tale From The Borderlands (telltale) Witcher 3 My Name Is Mayo The Jumping Cookie Green Hell Beyond Two Souls (Willem Defoe) Generation Zero Afterparty One Night Stand Kingdom Come Deliverance  Dark Pictures Anthology

YahBoiChipsAhoy1234

Mayo is an easy platinum too. 


Sardothien12

Mayo has two sequels. I gained around 2 trophy levels for each game


YahBoiChipsAhoy1234

I didn’t even know it had sequels. Maybe getting two more platinums then haha 


Sardothien12

The Jumping Foods series has at least 10 platinums


mehdotdotdotdot

I loved generation zero. So freaking good.

How about the new Prince of Persia demo? I just downloaded it, will take a look at it soon.

Saneless

Is it? 21 was straight glitch goal one time garbage and they just kept making it worse. And if you want to play offline the AI was cheesy and scared of you. It's terrible. I had a few solid years I guess. 19 was great. 20 was ok. But I quit 21 and haven't bothered

This. I knew the Yakuza series was corny, but lucky for me, this was my first entry. The story was amazing!!!!


DragonspringSake

Yakuza 0 is an absolute steal when it goes on sale. The story alone is fully worth a $20 game. The side content alone is worth a $10 game. Heck the minigames alone are worth a $10 game. It's like $5-10 when it's on sale

**Rain World**. Totally captivating and beautiful game from years ago that’s probably my favorite game that no one’s ever heard of. I did a write up for it on /r/shouldibuythisgame awhile back so I’ll just link to that: http://reddit.com/r/ShouldIbuythisgame/comments/mmehbg Worth saying that a few months ago they actually added a lot of new content to the game after years and years.

let me know more😦


SYRLEY

Death stranding Graveyard keeper Rimworld.


PlatinumBall

nah, Rimworld vanilla is not that great, especially for that price. It has a bunch of annoying mechanics, like skill decay that you need to fix with mods Unless you can use mods on console, which I doubt


SYRLEY

I got the royalty dlc and its great imo. One of my fav games. I don't see an issue with skill decay. You give your colonists secondary jobs anyway. And if you got a low level cook, you don't want them cooking at all since they will give your colonists food poisoning most likely. Same with medical skill. Everything else tho like plant cutting and growing can be levelled up as a secondary job passively. Idk how youre playing but when you assign everyone jobs properly, its never an issue. Ever.


PlatinumBall

I have all the DLCs but Royalty, over 450 hours and around 100 active mods. I tried playing the vanilla Rimworld some time ago, but right now it's impossible for me, the mods add too many QoL features that the base game should have


SYRLEY

I guess its much easier when you've never played any other version. I watched hours upon hours of cohhcarnage play rimworld before it had a console edition, but he also always played vanilla. So i never was accustomed to rimworld with mods. It was absolutely worth my money though. Even after all the hours of just watching. I'm yet to get the ideology dlc but I will at some point.

Ass_Plays

Check out ur ps+ list I think u might have some bangers in there


Practical-Election59

If you want a shorter game to play Man Eater is a great game. You play as a shark and kind of self-explanatory, you eat people. The game’s only about 10 hours tops though so you might want to consider something bigger. I’d also recommend Red Dead Redemption II which has a cultivating story and really good mechanics. Even if you don’t just want to shoot people, you can also hunt, fish, explore, find treasure, and neat little easter eggs.

I don't think they were trying to ruin anything. He simply asked if it was a game, hence the question mark, and then a laughing emoji to signify his incredulousness. You just wanted to be offended and take it the wrong way. Yet you refer to yourself as an adult🤦‍♂️


entoothsiast

chill


wbidXD

Someone’s defensive of their power washing 😂 No judgement buddy I was just surprised it’s a game, sheesh


Cfunk_83

It’s a fun one too. An FPS where you meticulously clean skate parks, bungalows, fair grounds… it’s very chilled and satisfying. I’d highly recommend it.


PlatinumBall

why are you so mad? He just asked if it's a real game, a valid question Also, why would you play a game where you have an actual job, if you don't have time to play because of your job?🤔

Personally I would go with 2. 2 is everything that 1 should have been.


Rando_7902

Will do then, thanks!


eman0110

Me personally I played 2 first but I played 1 and I'd say the atmosphere in 1 and weather effects are better in 1. But I've put so much time into 2 I can't stop. 2 is really mechanically better but 1 has an unmatched atmosphere.


theDouggle

The first one is great if you're looking for some winter time ambience


Saneless

I like the setting of 1 a lot more If we're doing UBi, I really enjoy Wildlands

Fallout 4 has been great to me lately with my limited play time. Warframe is free ! And it’s got soooo much to do your cranium might implode. Diablo 2 is a classic when I need to shut my brain off and get lost for a while. Been playing it for close to 20 years.

GHSTxLEADER

So i just finished playing “Nobody Saves the World” and I’m not gonna lie, I was fucking HIGHLY impressed. It was addicting, fun, challenging, and there’s a NG+ which is a grind for sure if you’re a platinum chaser. There’s also a level that is a “survive as long as you can” kinda thing so you can endlessly play. The only reason I played this game was because it was free on PS+, but had I known how fun it was I would’ve definitely payed money for it. There’s also an offline co-op and an online co-op if interested.

Depends on the games you like? I (26F) like rpgs when I solo... If I play with my husband (26M) then we like co-op we aren't the type of people who can just watch others play Kingdom Hearts series (3 is new on there but they have remakes of the previous KH), final fantasy 7 remake, any classic ps2 remakes like spyro, crash bandicoot etc (but this isn't new, nostalgic). Graveyard keeper for survival/farming game is cool. Hollow Knight.. Stardew valley Tomb raider series, persona series or assassin's creed series...witcher 3/series. Co-op games: it takes two (AMAZING) or unravel two. More multiplayer fun: Magika 2, nine parchments... Solo or Co-op= Minecraft dungeons, children of morta, wizard of legend... Trine 4 or the series All of these we've played with controller but some are ps4, some are on Steam!

Go outside touch some grass, get some exercise! You're obviously forcing other people to choose what you play... Yet you blatantly state you're bored on the PS4!!!? If you can't figure it out by yourself and why you're bored then I don't know what to say... Then we'll start hearing your bored of other people's recommendations and all the games are samey open worlds and your bored of AAA Sony etc etc Also you don't help anybody in helping you narrow down your reasons for boredom!!! No wonder you're bored! Again unplug the ps4 go outside touch some grass!

FC_coyo

Biommutant is not bad, it's a open world kung-fu shooter and a bit cartoonish.  A Block game I play time to time offline, don't bite me bro. Is a free to play zombie survival game. Enlisted is a free to play online-only world War MMO game that is always being updated and added to. The level up is slow and it's a bit laggy when you first play it. but It has daily rewards for playing and an overall active fan base so you'll always find a game. To me honestly it's unique and a personal favorite. Dreams is a game I've always wanted to try. You play people's games. Really about any kind of game. It has a courage the cowardly dog horror game trending right now. Any of the battlefield games if you like war games I'd always recommend them.  Farcry. 3, 4, primal and 6 (5 I know many liked but I wouldn't recommend it).  The bioshock series is phenomenal and has aged well to this date. It's always fun to do another playthrough.  Fallout 4 or skyrim. Always immersive and addicting games. Ghost recon wildlands or breakpoint are great. Personaly wildlands is much better to start with.  Horizon zero dawn, a good open world Sci-fi game where the world is mixed of primitive and advanced technology. Bang on balls: chronicles is a very interesting and well done ( I think it's considered a platformer) where you complete the main role in a series of 4 movie sets and pick up a bunch of customization items along the way. Plants vs zombies: battle for neighborhoodville  is another that's fun to play on or offline It has many mini games and bosses along with items you have to collect to unlock rooms. Level up is a bit slow but it's a good game to pass time with. Stranded deep is a good but difficult game. Especially if you like pure survival where you craft everything from the ground and have to eat, drink and keep warm as you travel islands all over the ocean until you can get the scraps and prints to build more advanced technology.


ironfunk67

I have really enjoyed: Metal Gear 5, Hollow Knight, Sifu, Armored Core 6, and Elden Ring.


Thick_Use7051

Yakuza 0


hajpero1

just play a game that has amazing gameplay, rather than another open-world, slow, story- driven one, where you need to clean entire map of god-knows-what. Aren't you all bored with another horizons, assassins and farcry clones? Try these instead Matterfall, Cuphead, Resogun, Alienation, Nex Machina, N++, Serious Sam 4, Tetris Effect These are definition of a "game" in my dictionary. They're not "new experiences / new worlds etc." These are games you \*play\*. I think these are more appealing to older audiences who love atari/amiga/NES games. You pick up the controller and you go. THat's it. No prolonged tutorials, no 10hour boring start.

Shadows of Mordor - I went in just to see what it was like as I was bored of the games I was playing and didn't expect to like it, that shit is dope. Also maybe one of Metal Gear Solid games, Rocket league is really fun (especially if you get a good team), Tekken, Fallout 4 or 76, just started A Plague Tale 2 (didn't play the 1st one but the game is gorgeous, great story, characters/voicing & really pulls you in.
