You could play Ghost of Tsushima instead.
Iām PC only.
It is odd there havenāt been more samurai games. It seems like a natural setting for a Red Dead or Witcher-style game. And I would guess a lot of gamers are into Japanese culture.
I imagine it kind of conflicts with the general Japanese style of more bright colors/vibrancy, so it ends up being western studios doing a game set in Japan.

Donāt get me started on how sick ghost of tsushima was! Too bad itās PS exclusive.
And of course the cork soaking bios doesnāt recognize the drive fml
20 hours in and this game is amazing. Favorite game this year. Go play Control immediately.

In Wasteland 3, if one of my rangers dies in combat, are they dead forever? Do I have to go all the way back to HQ to get another? Going back there will take like 20 minutes with these load times.
This wastelands 3 game is deeeeeeep

Seriously, this is fun but the number of things to do just to equip your party is immense. And its buggy. Iāve never had so many crashes on an xbox one game

No fast travel is killing me.
I suspect there might be some Sherlock Holmes nerds out there; I will recommend to you the Frogware series of Sherlock Holmes video games, which are cheap and very well-done. Especially the Crimes and Punishments game. You go around collecting clues and then, in Sherlockās mind, you have to decide which clues link together to make deductions. And you can definitely mess up and reach a wrong conclusion, which is something Iāve never seen before in a detective game. There were definitely a few spots where I had to sit back and mull over what the correct deductions were, itās very much like reading a cozy murder mystery and trying to figure out whodunit.
Also, two of the cases are lifted directly from the Conan Doyle stories, beat for beat. Itās kinda cool to see how the storytelling translates from literature to video games.
Iāve been meaning to play the most recent entry in this series for a while, just too many other things on my plate.

Is there a reasonable place to rent ps4 games? - is that still a thing? Gamefly?
I miss when I was about 8 years old renting games at Albertsons for 2.99 for 3 nights with my momās SS#

This isnāt an answer to your question, but Xbox Game Pass is the greatest value for anything ever. $10 a month for a ton of constantly revolving games. You need good internet though.
Gamely is the only place I know of to get physical game rentals, PS4 has a service called Playstation Now where you pay a monthly fee and can stream games
Good internet isnt really a requirement as the games arent streaming. Might take you a long ass time to download games if your net sucks though

Yeah I meant more so on the constant downloading of what feels like the billion games available.
One of my all time run goods was renting Chrono Trigger, having to wait for my allowance to rent again, and lucking into the copy I rented before with my save still on it.

Man, I loved the local video store that rented NES games in the pre-Blockbuster era. Mom and pop store, I remember the owner was always smoking a pipe. My friend and I (or my brother and I) would ride our bikes there almost every weekend and walk right to the back, where there was a glorious oasis of three walls of NES games.
