Have you ever played RE4? If not that thing still holds up wonderfully.

Resi4 if you've never played it before. Other than that I think Abzu and Hyper Light Drifter are both pretty cool.

If youre interested in Prison architect give a look at Rimworld. Prison architect gets kinda boring once you get everything up and running. A guy on youtube called quill18 has a few lets plays of Rimworld that are pretty funny if you wana check it out before buying.

Those are all pretty different games. Out of the bunch, I would vote for Hyper Light Drifter, but then again, I don't give a shit about survival games so I wold never recommend Don't Starve, I thought that Abzu was boring, and RE4 doesn't hold up when you compare it to modern games.

I'm pretty sure the Don't Starve games have been sold for way less than 14€ previously, so I would hold off on those.

On PSN though? I haven't paid attention to it, but I can guess it never reached the lows of Steam.

I would either way vote Don't Starve. There is a sick amount of value in the essence of that game, not to mention if you get all the DLC with it. It is really, really fun and highly replayable.

Yup, it was 6,99€ in the September 2014 PSN sale.

@s-man1236: i wouldn't recommend Abzu especially if you played Journey. The game is gorgeous but the pacing is too Journey-like and it ended up being shorter.

I wouldn't pay more than $10 for Resident Evil 4 in 2016, that thing has been re-released so many times and the PS4 version isn't even a definitive port.

(although saying that... I think RE4 is a big pile of poop)

RE4 is fantastic, you should play it if you never have. Don't Starve pack would be my secondary, that game can be played for a long time.

Hmm, that's a hard one. If it was on PC I would say "Prison A." if you like strategy sims. If not, I would say "Don't Starve" if you like survival games of that type. Since this is PSN-related (not PC) I have to go with Abzu. I played RE4 back in the days but never finished it. It was fun early on in the villages but got out of hand later on.

These are always really hard to pick without knowing the tastes of the person playing them, but I'd echo RE4 if you've not played it before, a lot of people like that game. If you're into artsy games, Abzu has been really well-received, but if that's never been your cup, I'd avoid it entirely. It's a somewhat similar thing with Hyper Light Drifter, although that one seems to be a bit closer to a traditional game. If none of that grabs you, Prison Architect and Don't Starve seem like very solid buys, there's a lot of play time in them, but again, it requires you are into the specific genres these games occupy, and unless you're very sure about Don't Starve it's probably not worth splashing out on the more expensive version. The only one here that feels like a write-off is DriveClub, that game had a very mixed response.

@fisk0: Ah, I see. Well, I wouldn't let a price get me down if I really wanted a game. Especially if the asking price is still completely fair. Don't Starve is worth more than 15 bucks to me. I've put far more time into it, and found it far more enjoyable, than some games that retail for full price.

@s-man1236: Hyper Light Drifter, twice.

Maybe Resident Evil 4 if you want to play the game that influenced the design of much better games.

@s-man1236: I think...Monopoly or Frustration, no really? I reckon...hmm.... what about the new Destiny:Rise of Iron, haven't looked at it properly but I've heard my friend say that's it's a game that is actually pretty decent and good quality.

Any other suggestions?
