Thanks!

Do you recommend buying or downloading? Being a bit new to this, I'm not sure if I'll be able to connect OK with my setup.

I downloaded Journey. You don't need anything much in the way of a great connection - the best I ever get is about 5MBps, thanks to the fibre bypassing where I live. (Frustrating that people quarter of a mile away are getting in excess of 100...).

Here is complete list of the best games you can get for the PS4 and PS4 Pro, presented in no particular order. https://docsbay.net/43-best-ps4-games-every-gamer-should-own

That's useful, thanks. Trouble is most of these lists assume a proficiency that I don't yet have. Really frustrating when a games is described as taking x hours to finish & I've already spent most of that time still on first level!

Stuck in the descent in journey cos my scarf isn't long enough to jump up to the arch....

Journey isn't THAT long. If you're stuck because your scarf is too short... start again.

Unsurprisingly, there has been a lot of game playing this year!

With a little help I have just finished Gorogoa - a beautiful & fascinating puzzle game. Took me quite a lot longer than stated game play time. I guess that could be regarded as good value for money!
Also enjoying working my way through 'Two brothers' & my latest purchase 'Horizon Zero Dawn'.
Others that are fun are 'De Blob', 'Thomas was alone' & 'Hohokum'. Finished '

Anyone else played these, any similar ones to recommend?

I'm eagerly awaiting my chance to purchase a PS5 whenever, if ever, they become available again. I like open-world RPGs. On my Switch I've played and replayed Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I've spent hundreds of hours playing Skyrim and Witcher 3. But I just can't find another good one on Switch. I just started Xenoblade Chronicles but I'm not thrilled with it. It's very Japanese in style so now I know what they mean by JRPG. It's very wonky with just way too complicated fighting methods based on building up and collecting techno-jargon "arts".

I figure there are plenty of PS4 games I'd like but I just can't justify buying a PS4 now. (Used ones are overpriced and notoriously filthy and often full of roaches and ants.)

This will be my first non-Nintendo console.

At the w/e I made the mistake of buying a game that turned out to need a VR headset (which I don't have & don't intend to get). Thankfully a pretty cheap game!
I get a bit frustrated in the games where I know what to do, I just can't seem to manipulate the controls to achieve it. Great feeling of success when I do mange it. Also, the ones with sparse save points so you have to redo loads each time to get back to the same place.
I put everything on really easy story mode where possible. I like my fighting to be easy!

I'll definitely never get a VR rig. I couldn't use one anyway. My eyes don't point the same direction and one only opens if I lift its lid with my finger. No more Magic Eye 3D images either.

(Do they still make those? Have they made any this century?)
