If you like narrative-heavy games like Life is Strange, SOMA etc. then perhaps you would also enjoy Hellblade, which is also digital-only.

Watched a trailer. A game that simulates psychosis? No HUD, just voices in your head? Sold!

I'm using the one given out on the live site during PSN a few years ago, which is a starry night with the Sony symbols as constellations. I've started to like themes that don't have much animation or motion, since if I boot the console into VR and the dashboard is panning or rotating across my entire field of view I start to feel a little weird.

Any more I should try out?

I started playing KH Birth By Sleep and I think it's my favorite mechanically. Also no guys in black coats spouting stupid poo poo about hearts or memories or something so that's a real plus.

edit: or does that part come later?

no black coats that I remember but tera is possibly the dumbest video game character I've ever seen

The first part of the big ship when you're all alone right?
It can get rough without Second Chance/Once More if you're on the build that gets those abilities late. Do you have Aeroga? Or at least Aerora? One of them is gotten through all 99 dalmatians and the other's sitting near the start of Neverland near the yellow trinity. It cuts down damage pretty well so if you stock up on Elixirs it should make things a lot more manageable.

Thanks for the info. That the spot. I was like 10 levels underleveled( and didn't grind for ultima) from guides I saw. Aurora got me through it. Just that first part solo, as soon as I could get a companion to take agro for zero seconds I was fine.

Also those fights chain without being able to restock items suuuuuuuuuuux, playing it again saving some for that part of the fight helped a bunch.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
An entire page without someone mentioning Corn Love is kind of impressive. Though honestly my favorite theme is the Firewatch one, it has a nice day/night cycle and the music is soothing. I also can't speak for the regular dancing skeletons but I bought the Jamaican dancing skeletons for a laugh when it was a buck and its oddly compelling even if the music gets old pretty quick.

Birth by Sleep is really hitting the spot for me. It has all the KH stuff I like but without the hours of unhelpful story cutscenes.

edit: I could tell that Terra would be the most boring so I'm getting him out of the way first.

Got my platinum for Dead Rising. 7 day survivor is SO loving EASY since you can just pause/standby and do it in chunks instead of a single 14 hour session. Doing the real mega buster before anything else also helps a ton. I think I knocked everything in 3.5 playthroughs.

Game still owns and killing endless zombies while dressed as something ridiculous is fun as hell. I’ll probably give dead rising 2 a shot later on I just can’t remember how annoying those trophies are.

EDIT: oh :lol: there’s a few co-op trophies for that. Nevermind.

Terra, Ventus Aqua is definitely the best order. Makes more sense story-wise and you likely will want Aqua for post game anyway. Also make separate saves for the characters.

Still greatly enjoying it, although I expected it to be a more chill game. You play it for one hour and you turn into Eustace Bagge himself.

it can be frustrating when Trico occasionally does some stupid poo poo or takes way too long to do what he's supposed to, but I'd never trade it for a more canned experience. For a pretty linear game the amount of possibilities for cool emergent poo poo to happen is great.

We all had those moments though.

I have not played warframe since release, but If i remember correctly is a game with a solar map you slowly unlock and alers in these nodes. It may make sense for somebody starting to slowly unlock the map has secondary objetive ( with primary grinding what seems fun), so you could show in alerts.

Undertale and Life is Strange both have physical releases on PS4.

I have Undertale on my shelf and I think my local GameStop still has a copy of Life Is Strange for sale.

E: Oops, missed a page

Since there's some Theme Talk a bit further up, let me bring up the only theme on PS4 that matters:

All of these are sold now, but it's common. It looks like around $40 is the going price.
