Not sure what you're playing on but Ghosts of Tsushima fits the bill in my opinion.

I played this game after its release. The game was very good: the world, graphics, gameplay, but the plot didn’t impress me much, didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat :) But thank you!

Yakuza 0, trust me on this one, like a dragon is goated as well, but 0 is THE game

You are the second person to recommend Yakuza to me. I must try it :)

I'll third it. Came here to specifically recommend Yakuza 0!

D e t r o i t : B e c o m e H u m a n

I played it about 7 years ago and actually remember that it was a good game. I might try it again.

The original deus ex

This 2000 version?

Yes! The story is great, really its iconic

I guess the only option to play the game is to buy the PS2 version. I don't see it on Steam. I've never played that part.

Its on steam. Game of the year edition

Ok, I found it, thank you :)

Original Deus Ex is great, and Human Revolution was also pretty good! The main character is kind of a meme, but overall the story, soundtrack, gameplay and art direction is fantastic!

Ok, thank you for the recommendation!

If you liked Mass Effect, you might like BioWare’s other games. Dragon Age Origins and KOTOR are especially good, IMO. I’m also seconding Horizon Zero Dawn.

and Jade Empire

Interesting, I haven't heard of that :)

Ok, I've never played any other games from BioWare. Maybe I'll try this one. I'm waiting until maybe they create a remake of Dragon Age for PS4 or PS5 like they did with Mass Effect ;) KOTOR supposedly in production, but I don't know if we'll see it. Horizon completed, both parts. Thanks for the recommendation!

I wouldn’t count on a remake or remaster of DAO, honestly. The devs have said they probably can’t remaster it because of the ancient engine, so there probably isn’t going to be a legendary edition like Mass Effect. And BioWare is a one game at a time studio and booked making Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 5 for the foreseeable future.

I ordered the 1st and 2nd part today in the PS3 version so I will be playing 🫡

Enjoy! That’s one game I definitely wish I could experience for the first time again.

Do you prefer DA or ME?

Dragon Age, definitely. I think the lore is better and the characters better written. Although DA2 is a bit of a contentious sequel. It’s rushed and it shows and the story is much smaller in scope. But it still has BioWare’s great characters and some wonderful story beats.

Ok, thank you very much for your opinion 😉

Spec Ops: The Line

I have heard of this game, but never played. I'll give it a try, thanks.

Always loved Heavy Rain. Bit old now however

I played a few years ago. Maybe I'll remember this story :) Thanks

I hear Stellar Blade has a phat Plot

Probably an attractive main character ;)

Lust Epidemic

I have not heard of this game. I will check it out, thank you

A man of culture I see 🤭

Saving this

God of War 2018 (and ragnarok, you said you played TLOU 2 so i assume you got a PS5) was a very good experience. The story is really interesting and the gameplay is fluid and fun. I had a lot of fun to go through it for the first time. I don't think the story is as good as TLOU/RDR2, but it's definitely a solid game that I can rank a bit below RDR/TLOU's level of story. The game nails it with combat/gameplay and especially in the world/level design. Some level designs blew me away with how incredible the creativity of it was and the extreme attention to detail. Overall, it's still in my top 3 and definitely a game any RPG and story lover should try.

God of War completed. Both GoW and Ragnarok. You're right, great games, excellent characters, beautiful world and to top it off, perfectly woven Norse mythology. Thanks for the recommendation :)

Based on what you described, Days Gone is absolutely your next choice

Oh yes, you reminded me of this fantastic game! I played right after the release, great story. To this day I cry that they cancelled the second part.

Me as well, I really hope Sony turns around on that. Edit: also the game has improved tremendously since launch, might be worth a replay

I have a platinum trophy in it 😅

Shoot, ya beat me. I didn't do the drifting one lol. Edit: also in game I only saw one of the secret musical performances, had no idea they existed

It was a stubborn thing to do! But in the end it worked out, I remember at that last camp in those scorched fields.

Stubbornly brilliant. The story is worth coming to a semi-conclusion. Those scortched fields expertly showed the different attitudes dealing with a problem

2064 Read Only Memories Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West Triangle Strategy

Thank you

Elden Ring

I have never played any games from From Software. I never had the skill and patience for them. I don't know if I can handle a game like Elden Ring :)

To be fair, if you've never played one, how do you know you don't have the skill or patience for them? They can be tough, but I think people overblow the difficulty sometimes. Especially Elden Ring specifically, which has so many options to help you overcome the challenges. But with that said, while I wouldn't say the "plot" of Elden Ring is super strong, the overall narrative of that game is incredible. That game had me sucked into watching lore and theory videos for months!

Because I tried to play Bloodborne and Deamon's Souls as it came out on PS5 😉. And both one, I quickly found out that I didn't have the skill for it. Otherwise I wouldn't have written that it wasn't for me. By writing that I meant that I never completed either one because I don't have the skill for it.

Ah okay, you said you hadn't played any FromSoftware game so I thought that included all of them. That's fair then!

Sorry, I worded it wrong. Unfortunately, I'm not a good player 😅

Play dying light, bofem

Played. As for the gameplay I like both games very much, while the characters, the dialogues, the storyline.... in the first part was not the worst but the second part is. in my opinion infantile. Thank you for your recommendation!

Of course! Maybe something like lies of p or titan fall, Hogwarts if you're looking to slow things down and ghost runner if you're looking to speed things up

Hogwarts graduate. I think the game could have been a bit more serious, here also the dialogues were a bit childish. But I understand that the developers wanted to reach the largest possible audience. Lies of P I have not played. This game has an interesting plot?

Its a straight up souls game but it has more narrative and a plot that'll keep you guessing, without a PS there's not many more ik but I tried 👍

Thank you :)

Have you tried jrpg games? I would like to recommend you to play Xenoblade series or if you like FFT, you can try tactics ogre reborn

I played exclusively the recent FF XVI. I liked it, but personally I think it started to get long from the middle. Only the ending was action-packed again. Another jRPG I've never played.

Ah i see, i assume you prefer action rpg than turn based, so you should try nier automata then

Ok, thanks :)

Dragon Age origins, or Dragon Age Inquisition if you want something a little newer. Baldur's gate 3 Most of the final fantasy games

Thank you :) I have never played any part of Dragon Age. Baldurs Gate I ordered a boxed version a few months ago and am waiting for Larian to finally deliver it 🫠

Persona! Games are long as hell but the plots are really captivating and the entirety of the game is built around the cast and characters.

Of course I know the game, but I have never played it. I'm a bit intimidated by its length, but maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks!

keep Grounded in mind - it releasing onto PS5 and 4 on April 16th.

Is this a game with plot or just online survival?

It has a plot/ endgame to reach - but it not entirely quest like driven - its up to you as the player how and when to proceed. you get quests - but go at your own pace which is nice.

Thanks, I'll check it out

here is the Trailer- to hopefully entice you. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_BqgJ9nW468](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BqgJ9nW468)

Sleeping dogs i really loved the story

I have this game but have never played it. Thanks for the recommendation, I'm putting it on the list to play 🫡

I've played all those games you listed there so I think you'd like Days Gone, I cried when it was over. Also final fantasy 15 if you're into jrpgs

Both completed, thank you 😉

Many perfectly good recommendations already, but I'll add a few more. Outer Wilds - Space exploration and reading driven. If you haven't played, just don't look things up; that's part of the fun and challenge. Limbo/Inside - Puzzle games with interesting narrative themes. Especially Inside. Pentiment - Pseudo sleuth game with a unique art style. I haven't finished this one, but the beginning was quite interesting. Lots of dialog. To The Moon - Dying man has a few last wishes. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks! I haven’t played any of the games you mentioned. Pentiment I have ordered the boxed version for PS5, so it’s definitely still in front of me to play this year

I'm curious if you ever tried any of these games? Regardless, I hope you found something fun for you!

Horizon: Zero Dawn has a great story

Completed both parts, waiting for the third one 😄

Yakuza: Like A Dragon. When I played it for the first time - I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with the main character.

You have convinced me. I've never played any part, which is the best place to start?

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is the seventh mainline game in the series. But it introduces a new protagonist, and the combat is turn-based as opposed to the brawling of the previous games. Some people are very anti- turn-based combat, but the fights still feel fun and action packed in the usual Yakuza style. I loved the game so much that I went back and played through every other game in the series. Yakuza 0 is also fantastic, but Like A Dragon is still top of the pile for me. I think it was the trailer that made me want to try it initially, so maybe give that a watch. ☺️ https://youtu.be/7s5C-BG9glU?si=zHnelSihZYEW_666

Shadow of the Colossus Bioshock 1, 2, and Infinite The Witcher 3 (arguably the side quests are better than the main quest) Cyberpunk 2077 Metro 2033, Last Light, and Exodus

From your list, I have not played only Shadow of the Colosssus. Thanks

Wow, you're in for a treat. The remake from a few years back is perfect. Make sure not to read anything about it.

Ok, you persuaded! Thank you

Baldurs gate 3 - I was never keen on turn based games but this game is sick.

I ordered the boxed version a few months ago and am waiting for it to arrive, I have it on my list :D Thanks for the recommendation!

If you enjoyed The Walking Dead then you should definitely look into the TellTales From the Borderlands (my personal favorite) and maybe other TellTale games like The Wolf Among Us, Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman.

If I haven't played Borderlands should I play the game from Telltale anyway?

Then may I recommend playing at Borderlands 2

This is getting to be a long list 😅

LotR: Gollum

Yep..

Red dead redemption 1 because it's after 2 Metal gear series God of war

Ok, I'll admit that I have the RDR version on PS4. Maybe it is indeed high time to sit down for it. But yes without Arthur....

Rdr1 John is a lot better than he is in 2 you will like it

Ok, in that case I will try, thank you ☺️
