PS4 games worth having?

[davek_964]

I've been debating whether to buy a PS4 for a while - I thought it was too early to defect from the PS3, and was planning to wait a while longer. Unfortunately, my PS3 died on Saturday.

So I now have a PS4 and bought Shadow of Mordor. A quick play last night suggests it's OK, but nothing very special - graphics were mostly pretty average and gameplay was very much Assassins Creed combined with Batman Arkham. I'm not sure it will really hold my interest for very long.

I know Dark Souls 2 has a PS4 version due out in April, which I will definitely buy - I loved Demon Souls / Dark Souls / Dark Souls 2 on the PS3 (and was playing DS2 when it died - fortunately, I had completed the game).

Is there anything similar on the PS4 - or any other recomendations? I don't really like true open world stuff (I never got into GTA V on the PS3) and I'm not really into driving games.

I really liked Infamous, and the last of us (if you hadn't had it for ps3), Destiny, and Battlefield 4.

They're the only ones to really capture my attention. Mostly Destiny.

depends what sort of genre, theres a few decent games knocking about at the moment.

for example im currently playing through the ps4 version of tomb raider and alien isolation. Both are very good games and can quite easily loose a few hours

Games I've enjoyed so far:

Diablo 3
Wolfenstein (a little short lived, and a bit repetitive but great fun)
Infamous Second Son
Dragon Age; inquisitions
Call of duty Advanced Warfare
Farcry 4 (got a bit 'samey' after a while but it took ages)
Dying Light ( just started it, but seems great)
The Last of Us (I never played it on PS3 but it's fab, beautifully scored too)


The only ones I wouldn't bother with again are Killzone, Watchdogs, and Trials.

I keep meaning to get Alien, a friend of mine has it on Xbox one and rates it quite highly. I'll have to give it a go at some point.

Thanks. "Last of us" I played on ps3. But there are a few listed there that look promising. Infamous, Dragon age and Diablo definitely worth a look.

Infamous Second Son I enjoyed a lot and has some replay value since you can play 2 different routes, must be cheap to pick up now too. The prequel, First Light, is available for free this month to PS+ subscribers too

Pinball Arcade is good if you like, erm, pinball with #2 out later this month
