I bought a used PS4 slim which arrived today. I basically needed it for Garegga2016 and REZinfinity, I've made a short list of games I'm currently considering. If anyone has a recommendation or has played any of these hipster/indie games I'm interested in hearing what you though of them.

For shooters I'm considering:

Astebreed
Darius Burst
Caladrius Blaze
Resogun
Jamestown

These were games that looked sorta interesting as I browsed the PS4website:

SHOVEL KNIGHT
AXIOM VERGE
THUMPER
INSIDE
BOUND
GRAVITY RUSH
ABZU
JOURNEY
HUE
HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER
THE TALOS PRINCIPLE
FURI
OXENFREE
UNRAVEL
THE WITNESS
TRINE
THE BRIDGE
VOLUME
HOTLINE MIAMI 2
WHITE NIGHT
VALIANT HEARTS
FLOWER

Are any of these not crap?

Shovel Knight *****

[Chempop]

Thanks guys, I haven't played a mainstream title since PS2 days, stuff like Witcher3, Bloodborne, DarkSouls3, Uncharted just doesn't interest me. I will get Last Guardian next month though since I loved Ico and SotC. I'm a sucker for the artsy-fartsy stuff.

I think I'm mostly looking forward to

Thumper



Bound



and Abzu

[Alex]

Helldivers (played with 3 friends is great)
Guacamelee
SuperMeatBoy (if you want to feel pain... )
Kick off revival (love or hate)

[Chempop]

I got Thumper and it's glorious

[yosai]

Race the Sun (Apocalypse mode) is also excellent.

Shovel Knight *****

Only game I've bothered completing for yonks. If it had somehow been released on the Nes it'd be my favourite Nes game.

[SuperPang]

Played about an hour of "Everybody's Gone To The Rapture" (free on PS+) Painful. Like wading through treacle listening to The Archers.

[Chempop]

Thoroughly pleased with Bound. There isn't a whole lot to it gameplay wise, which is why it's so mesmerizing. The audio/visual experience is so breathtaking I'm fully engrossed the second I hit start. In a lot of ways that's what I like about Rez, one of my all time favorites. Your character dances and while that may not be for everyone, I have taught dance for nearly 20 years so I can appreciate the motion capture and animation

Equally happy with Resogun. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this so much since it's not a straightforward shmup, but man was I wrong. One word: addicting. The graphics are superb, I've only played on easy mode with one of the ships but there was still a fair bit of challenge for me, especially when it comes to saving the humans For $4.99 (PS+ sale price) I couldn't ask for a better bargain.

I also downloaded Everybody's gone to the Rapture for free, it looks dreadful indeed.

I almost bought Gravity Rush, Hotline Miami 2 (should probably start with HM1 first), Astebreed, and Jamestown+ but I'm going to hold off until I'm bored with what I have so far.

P.S. THUMPER IS TOO DAMN GOOD!!!

[Moonwalker]

Lovin Thumper as well, especially in VR.
Rez Infinte in VR is mindblasting! Living the 80s dream feeling like in Tron.

Jamestown is a nice little game

[SuperPang]

Wild Guns Reloaded. Dec 13th. 1800 Yen.

[bloodhokuto]

I see that you can get a slim PS4 and a game for like £200.

I'm almost embarrassed not to buy one.

It would be nice to get a new console, but I barely play stuff any more, even the cabs.

That last guardian looks gorgeous mind, I loved Ico (but got bored big time with Colossus), we'll see how people like it later on this month I guess.
