@jiminstitches you’ll have to check out what’s available on PS+ Extra (I think PlayStation call it “the collection” or something) and see what is on there. I’d be surprised if nothing I recommended was. I’m not a subscriber myself. I’d be willing to bet that you’d find something that took your fancy on the list though and it’s probably the cheapest way to try out a number of things.
It seems there’s a list here. https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/all-ps-plus-games
Most people say the middle tier (ps+ extra) is the best one if you don’t already have a good collection of games to play.

@EdH thank you mate
I’ll check this out -
Just wanted to take a minute to gush over one of my favourite series', The Talos Principal.
I came to the first one pretty late, and it became my obsession during the first wave of COVID lockdowns.
At its core, its a puzzle game, akin to Portal and the likes. What made this game special to me though, were its existential and philosophical themes of consciousness, and the sentience of artificial intelligence.
As an android protagonist, you're guided through 100s of puzzles by a seemingly benevolent voice in the sky, whilst the lore of the world and various philosophical concept are presented in text for through various information terminals.
The whole things really captivated me, but after 100s of hours, completing everything the game had to offer, I moved on and kind of forgot about it it...
Recently realised a sequel had been released a few months ago, exclusively on PS5, so I took this as a reason to finally splash the cash on a new console (IH drops had got in the way of that previously...)
Without making this post any longer than it needs to be, I just want to say the sequel is so perfect, and is everything a follow up should be!
Despite the originally feeling like a fully fledged story/experience in its own right, within the context of its successor, it serves as a mere prologue to the world and lore that has been masterfully crafted here. The puzzles too, have been elevated to a whole new level of develishness, much to my joy and dismay... I'm only like 4 hours into the game, but know for a fact it will become one of my favourites of all time.
If you have interest in the themes I've mentioned, or puzzle games in general, this is an absolutely must play!
Playing the first isn't exactly necessary to enjoy the second, but it can be picked for just a few pounds nowadays, could be a good way to see if you enjoy the puzzle mechanics before throwing yourself in the behemoth that is the sequel...

Yeah got part II as well. PS4 version though. Way cheaper than the PS5 version. The Remastered Part I version cost me 9.99€ so all good.
Great game. Finished it twice and now playing the LEFT BEHIND DLC (which is an added bonus to the REMASTERED version). -

@seawolf hahahah! Expansion will drop later this year so i’ll be busy

@Seul If you own Part II on PS4 then there’s an upgrade to the PS5 version for $10. You’ll need to still have your PS4 disc to play it. But if you got Part II digitally then the $10 upgrade should just be there on the PS Store.

Currently greatly enjoying Helldivers 2. This game is wonderful.

After getting up to my eyeballs into the first Death Stranding game during the Lockdowns of 2020, which only added to the games theme, I’ve been super excited to see where the second game goes. This trailer is so far out there, I don’t even know what to think. It’s awesome, just like the first. I’ve been a huge Kojima fan ever since MGS1 and haven’t missed a thing.

@WhiskeySandwich Kojima is a legend for sure
