I could really use some suggestions on a good high fantasy RPG for PS4 (that isn't The Witcher 3 or Skyrim).
I'm looking for Christmas gifts for a family member who doesn't have access to internet. He would prefer a game where he can roam freely.
He also has Ghost of Tsushima, but I think he'd really love to get back into a true fantasy world. I've also thought about Assassin's Creed: Valhalla but heard it gets extremely repetitive (and, to be honest, I feel like the series itself is a little tired at this point).
I want the game to genuinely be good and something he enjoys.
Just realised I brought a brand new game in Assassin's Creed Mirage and maybe spent 2 hours max in it and a second hand game in Ghost of Tsushima at less than half the price of AC Mirage and spent like half a day or more on that.
Don't get me wrong both I enjoy for different reasons and thoroughly enjoy playing both but Ghost of Tsushima has captured my mind & heart in almost the same way as RDR2 did when i first got that. I can see myself just running around either completing Fox Dens & Shrines just like how I would go randomly hunting in RDR2 with Arthur & John.
One thing i am slightly annoyed with is how PlayStation only decided on PS5 that they should have a in game time tracker for how many hours you've spent on a game for the owner of that console intead of just having PS friends being able to see them. I would've like to of seen how many hours I've pulled already in Tsushima without asking a friend to look.
Sucker Punch Productions bestowed the PlayStation 2 with the anthropomorphic raccoon master thief Sly Cooper and brought moral choice to third-person action in the Infamous series on the PlayStation 3 and 4. After several years of depicting somewhat realistic cities in which super-powered individuals caused chaos and took fetch quests, Sucker Punch moved their next game to Feudal Japan.
“Ghost of Tsushima” (2020) puts players behind the blade of Jin Sakai in his quest to rid the Island of Tsushima from Mongol invaders while embracing tactics and strategies that go against his samurai code. If that sounds like the plot from a Kurosawa film, it should. The game is a Samurai epic that not only takes heavy inspiration from Kurosawa’s work, but features a Kurosawa mode that filters out the color of the world in favor of the black and white look of the late director’s films.
Streaming tonight at 7:30 Central, we’ll take a stab at beating back the Mongol hordes as we unsheathe “Ghost of Tsushima.” This is but the first adventure in a month-long look back at the games of 2020.
(i beat Ghost of Tsushima for the 7th time and working towards that platinum and felt the need to draw baby Jin like it’ll heal his inner child or something ☹️.)
