Mankind Division is my vote as well.
If you have never played Mafia 3, it has a lot of great moments.
Agree with all votes so far :)
Invisible Inc is excellent.
No idea how it plays on a console however, and you can always pick it up for $5 on sale for PC (I’d imagine it has very low hardware reqs).
As the RPS folks would say, an excellent 7/10 game. With parts that were much better than that.
One thing that was a little weird about that game was that they originally planned to have Max have an American accent, but then changed it to an Australian one when there was an uproar among fans. Pretty much everyone else Max encounters has some American accent or other, though, IIRC.
I heartily endorse it and Invisible Inc. as well.
If Invisible Inc is the kind of game you like, it’s super good.
If it plays as well on PS4 as PC it gets my vote.
If you’re like me, ignore Invisible Inc. It’s a game about patience and waiting sometimes. Not for me!
Unfortunately, though I own most of the games on that list, I haven’t played them yet.
Thanks guys, appreciate the help.
I tend not to do well with needing to be patient in games, but I was fine with it in Invisible Inc. It was so worth it.
I have recently finished that game. Decidedly mixed feelings on that one! The narrative arc kind of fell flat. The climax wasn’t much of a climax and so much of the story felt rather disjointed. The environments are gorgeous, the setting is compelling and the music is great as ever, but it still is a decidedly weaker entry than Human Revolution! Still worth playing, I guess, but not top of the pile worthy just yet…
As the backlog had dried up a bit I thought going into a new year was time for a new one! This is it now :)
That might be it for 2021.
Since I finished God of War 3 remastered, my PS4 backlog is a bit smaller now. (Btw, I do NOT recommend God of War 3 to anyone, it’s totally not worth your time). I also finished Bloodborne and its expansion in October.
PS4 backlog now:
Dad of War
Spider-Man
Shadow of Colossus remake
Last Guardian
Uncharted 3’s last act
Uncharted 4
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Horizon Zero Dawn Complete
Only 8 games! Yay! I eliminated some from my list, like the Wipeout Omega Collection, and a few others that I’m never going to get to. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
But these 8 games I can get to.
I’ll probably stay away from buying further PS4 games now. On the theory that I can get them later, eventually when I get a PS5. But these 8 I can finish on my PS4.
I suppose I’m the farthest along in Uncharted 3. The first half of the game was great, but the back half has been a real drag. I really hate it, but like with the terrible Ratchet & Clank and the terrible God of War 3 I feel an obligation to finish what I started.
That’s called mowal fibah and is an asset :)
Don’t. I gave up around then too on PS3. Moved on to Uncharted 4, didn’t feel like I missed anything at all story-wise. A couple references maybe and a cute thing at the end.
Finish UC4 before LL though. It’s a sequel.
Holy cow, these are just my ‘high priority’ backlog items. I shouldn’t even look at sales or anything else. I broke them down to games I haven’t played at all and games that I’ve played some but I really want to dig in more / complete the game.

Oooooh, a “Play More” category. I like it. There’s so many games where I’m partially in, and for one reason or another got distracted with other stuff, not the game’s fault. But I never know if I should then classify that as a backlog game or not since I already played a substantial portion of it.
Like Subnautica is one of those. I plan to get back to it, but it’s tough to come back because you get turned around and forget where things were.
I am the worst at finishing games, due to the new shiney always catching my eye, and the 70 hr work weeks.
Here is my currently installed/playing backlog:
Play More:
AC: Valhalla (30 hrs in, working to make Oswald king)
Gears Tactics (like on mission 3)
Anno 1800 (main story done, barely touched the sandbox to try the dlcs)
The Outer Worlds (Like 20 hrs in, just met the doctor guy in person).
Carrion , (2 hrs into this.)
CP 2077 (Waiting for patches / Act 2 started)
The Descendant , (Act 3 beginning. )
Remember Me (Only a few hours in0
Homefront The Revolution (DLCs only)
Deus Ex Mankind Divided (Just left the main city area for the 2nd time).
Max Payne 3 (I will finish this one day!)
Hollow Knight (near the end I think!)
Warhammer 40k Mechanicus (half dozen mission in)
Cat Quest 1 (80% of the map cleaned up)
Dishonored 2 (last solved the Jindosh Riddle)
Dark Souls 3 (nearing the end)
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 (Snowy map area, act 2 I guess?)
Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr (Dozen hours in so far.)
PoE 1 (Dunno anymore , haven’t played in over a year.)
The Surge (End of game haven’t fought last boss)
GTA 5 (I last recall a mission with a submarine)
Witcher 3 (Blood and Wine DLC).
A Plague Tale Innocence (a little past the half way point I think.)
Iron Marines (4 missions in)
The Darkside Detective (2 cases left).
Borderlands 3 ( I am in some temple area I forget).
My Memory of Us (About half way thru this).
Beautiful Desolation (Barely 3 hours in).
Rage 2 (Ghosts DLC)
Ancestors Legacy , (only a few hours into the first campaign.)
Hitman 2, (Finished the Beach house and Paris missions so far.)
Glass Masquerade 2 Illusions, (20% of the map complete.)
Rime , (nearing the end I think.)
Frost Punk , (I haven’t touched any of the season pass content yet.)
Lightmatter (I got to the end of the demo area where it asks you to buy the game, I bought it , haven’t returned yet.)
Horizon Zero Dawn (Final main story mission to do.)
SOMA , (At Lambda station)
W40K Gladius Relics of War (Only played Space Marines so far, want to try other races.)
Plague Inc Evolved, (Reinstalled this to try the dozen or so new scenarios they added in the last 2 years.)
Mindustry, only on the 3rd map area. :(
Per Aspera (Humans about to land)
Endzone a World Apart , (I am 2 updates behind in terms of when I last played.)
I won’t post what I want to play from backlog, as the personal shame would be too great.
Wow, you’re really close to the end in many of those!
I know this is an old thread but could I suggest stopping buying dlc :)
