I bought PS4 a couple years after release, so i'm like you and got a whole bunch of classics backlogged that I bought cheap for $5-$20. Still haven't installed Witcher 3/GTA V

So Helblade is really good then? Worth a shot? I always overlooked it because no one really raved about it.

Right now I'm playing Dying Light. Good early ps4 game; while I wait for Days Gone, whixh comes out next week.

Also had gotten Shenmue 1 and 2 for ps4, the first one has some glaring flaws ( all the damn waiting), but I've read they improve a lot with the second. Interesting game so far, dated though.

Hellblade is the best indy game i've played, it's practically AAA. Very dark and morbid story, nothing else comparible to it narrative wise.

Mechanics and game play are a similar to GOW puzzle solving and Soulsbourne fighting. Check out some walkthroughs

Not a super long game, but well worth it for $20 or when it's on sale

I've never owned a console, strictly a PC gamer. And Apple and Commodore PET before that. In no particular order:

Half-Life
Doom
Master of Orion
GTA: Vice City
X-COM (original)
Borderlands
Deus Ex
Portal
Team Fortress 2
Civ 3

Probably a ton I've forgotten.

GTA 3, 4 and 5 (a grand trilogy of sorts; VC and SA were like goofy, gimmicky spinoffs)
Castlevania 1, 2 and 3
Mike Tyson's Punch Out
NBA Jam
Hot Shots Golf
RDR2 (the greatest game ever)
WcW vs NWO (the Japanese version was even better)

The way I gauge a game is how bummed I get when it ends because of how enjoyable it was, like a movie you just never want to end.

[B]My Top 3[/B]

-Metal Gear Solid
-The Last of us
-God of War


I like older 90's games when I was younger but lets face it, when you go back n play em not many can touch the immersion we get from titles today

Call of Duty
Medal of honor
Rome Total War

My top 10

1. Witcher 3
2. Dragon Age Origins
3. Pokémon Series
4. Telltale The Walking Dead (Season 1)
5. Borderlands 2
6. God of War
7. Spiderman (PS1)
8. The Last of Us
9. GTA V
10. AC 2

Honourable mentions

NBA 2k16 (GOAT sports game)
COD Black Ops 1 (GOAT FPS)
Ghost's of Tsushima (would be top 10 but I haven't finished it yet)

I wish they'd remake the entire Metal Gear series for the PS5 I never got the opportunity to play those games, I only played Metal Gear Rising Revengence which is a incredibly underrated hack and slash game btw

Yeah Red Dead one is great too; I should have included that one on my list.
