PlayStation games for late 30s man.

[nonstopsally]

My friend has just got himself a PlayStation (and it's his birthday next week) and as I am clueless to games, what would be a good game for a man to play and for me to buy? I'm familiar with Minecraft and he wouldn't want anything like that, I'm thinking more hunting/shooting.

Help!

FIFA?
call of Duty?

God of war, Horizon zero dawn (the first game, don't get forbidden west unless he has played the first game)
Bugsnax is a fun and quirky indie game involving trapping weird creatures.
AC Odyssey is excellent too
There are lots of great games but it really depends on what he likes

Call of duty

Doom. Red Dead Redemption (a lot of story and stuff to it). A voucher? Games can be downloaded these days

Call of Duty
Halo

Uncharted
Last Of Us (if he like zombie stuff)

Assasins Creed. Odyssey is good. Massive long game, great story line

Tomb Raider - the newer ones

or for fun stuff - Crash Bandicoot the one that has all 3 games in one.

Just played Kena Bridge Of spirits. Loved it! I’m not a 30yr old man but a 39yr old women. But if he like Disney Pixar type films. Also it’s not too hard if he’s a newbie

Get him a ps plus subscription and then with one of the tiers there is a massive back catalogue of games that can be downloaded for free and played.

There's loads of games that would be suitable.

Hitman
Ghost of tshushima
COD
Horizon
Last of us
God of war

To name but a few

Bloodbourne
Elden Ring
God of War
Spiderman

How much would that be please?

The extra plan, which is what is needed for the back catalogue, is 11 a month or 84 for the year.

What you could do is buy say a 40 voucher and say its for that, as its a rolling thing. The voucher would be added and then payment for the monthly is taken from the balance.

Depends on how much you wanted to spend, if they are brand new to playstation you could get an older game or 2 for much less, something like the last of us would cost less than 10 preowned, but a new game brand new could be in the region of 50-60.

Least with a few months subscription they would have loads of games to choose from and they could extend their membership if they wanted.

Many thanks for the information, it is appreciated.

You're welcome, there are hundreds of really good games out there, especially in the shooting category so that should keep him entertained for a while

“Red dead redemption 2”

I try not to pay too much attention but I know it involves shooting alligators and hunting and skinning deer 😫

DS likes Farming Simulator, and I know grown men like it too.

Grand theft Auto?

Just make sure you’ve bought the correct game, I assume he bought a PS5?

Ghost of Tschushima is beautiful

Halo on the playstation? 😂

Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the prettiest games I’ve ever watched my lot play. I recommend that on aesthetics alone.

Some good suggestions here, thank you. I'll look into them and see what I 'think' he will like. Really grateful for the help. Thank you.
