Old school gamer looking for new games to play

Uncharted 4, uncharted the lost legacy, rise of the tomb raider, horizon zero dawn, the last of us, resident evil 7. All good games. Sorry if they are not your kind of game but they are great.

Young? Us lot? Ha! Anyway yes I can definitely help you out here.

Non shooter games with amazing stories that I have played and can recommend:

Life Is Strange
You play a college student with the ability to reverse time. Crazy stuff keeps happening, including everything from kidnap to town destroying storms. The story here was very touching too though. Stayed with me for a long time. As did a few of the choices I made. One of my all time favourite games.

Beyond Two Souls & Heavy Rain (you can buy them together for PS4)
Beyond Two Souls - a story about a woman who has a sort of powerful spirit who lives within her but can leave her body too. It sounds weird but it's so, so good. It's all about choices. She has a pretty incredible life and works for the CIA at one point so it's an exciting thriller at times. But you also get to see her life as a kid so you get to control her at a friend's party too - and the things you do when she's young affect her when she's older. It's hard to explain but I loved it. Stars Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe.
Heavy Rain - A noir thriller. You control multiple people involved in a serial killer mystery. The twists and turns are shocking! I was so engrossed in figuring out the mystery I couldn't put it down! Again, a lot of this is about choices you make and you don't go around shooting people or anything.

Journey is a no shooting game where you control this little character and travel through the desert and sometimes another player will show up in your world and you can travel together if you like. You can't communicate with them, they're just there. It's so eerily comforting though to not be alone. It's a short one but good.

The Walking Dead (1 and 2)
If you've read the comics or seen the show you'll know what this is about. The games are fantastic though - you don't follow characters from the comic or show it's just set in that world. This is another game about choices (a lot of modern non-shooters are) where you follow an amazing story and it's up to you how it unfolds. It hit me right in the feels a few times. Great couple of games.

This War Of Mine
Damn this one is depressing. It's set in a war zone but you're not a fighter, you're a civilian caught up in it. You just want to survive. It's about making your shelter hospitable, scavenging food, deciding whether or not to rob others when you get desperate, sneaking around dangerous buildings. Your characters can get depressed if they get too hungry or cold. But also if they are too ruthless in the pursuit of food. It's not like anything I've played before.

They recently re-released the Crash Bandicoot games on PS4 you might enjoy that! It's a carbon copy of the originals but with better graphics so not much more I can say about those.

Rocket League
It's football - but with cars! It sounds crazy and it 100% is but it's a whole lot of fun! Especially when you play online with your friends. Word of warning: it's hard to master the controls at first. But it does get easier I promise.

Games without shooting that I haven't played so can't tell you much about, I've just heard of them:

There are a lot of Lego games which I don't believe entail a lot of shooting and are probably more similar to the Nintendo and Sega games of the past. It's aimed at a family audience so you would probably die less in these games. They look a lot of fun but I haven't played any. You can get a wide variety from Marvel to Harry Potter themed.

If you like fighting games there's the new Marvel vs Capcom one out.

Minecraft and The Sims are not shooters but then they're not story driven either.

Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian, Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodborne (all these have hand to hand combat weapons rather than guns)

I don't know anything about car racing games so can't recommend any of those, just not my thing.

When you get the hang of the new controls etc if you do want to play a game that has a bit of shooting in but not too much I recommend the Uncharted series or Tomb Raider because there is plenty of non-shooting exploration, climbing, and puzzles etc to do inbetween the shooting. The stories of those are very good too, and less heavy that some of the recommendations I've given. Think Indiana Jones type story lines. Uncharted (2 onwards) and Beyond Two Souls are probably the best looking games out of the lot I've recommended to you, which is funny because they were originally out on the PS3!

I think you should consider a Playstation Plus subscription. It works out at like £4 a month and you get new free games to play each month (and you get to download them and keep for as long as you want, you don't have to play them within the month). I have found this to be very cost effective. You tend to get one big popular game each month and then a few indie games too. If you're looking for non-shooters the indie games are where it's at!

Any questions about any of the games I've mentioned and I will be more than happy to help. Also, if you're looking for console deals or more info about PS+ you can check out the MSE page: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/playstation-consoles-games-deals

Honestly, you'd be better off getting a Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild.
