So, I normally avoid digital titles. But I bought a PS4 recently and it came with a nifty little code for $10 on the PSN store.

Initially I was gonna give it away to a friend, but I got curious. Are there any PS4 exclusive digital games that are definitely knock-out great games? I'm really only interested in unique experiences. Things like Flower, Journey, or The Unfinished Swan are the type of games I have in mind. Even if there's a platformer/shooter/whatever that's a digital PS4 indie exclusive and really great I'm not really interested because I can still get similar experiences elsewhere and in physical formats.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

-Hohokum (not sure, haven't played)
-inFamous: First Light (3rd-person action/shooter)
-Resogun (shmup kinda)

Those are the ones that come to mind right away.

Well I canceled my Order 1886 pre-order. There is a collectors edition available on Amazon now LOL. No way am I gonna over-pay for a game that I may only get a few hours of playtime out of. Sorry to those who like short games. I expect 15-20 hours for my money now. Hopefully the multiple sources I looked up are all wrong. If they are then I will settle for a regular edition at regular price. If they are right though I will be getting this one when it is 19.99. (what I consider a fair price for a 5 hour game)

Wonder if there is gonna be a ton of dlc released for this? Sadly, I had high hopes for this to be a truly good game worth my money, and still hope it is. Looks like I am gonna be 0 for 2 this year on PS4. Well, back to Batman Arkham City!

Resogun is basically a modern version of Defender.

I found out I'll be getting FF Type0 collector's box as a gift next month. I can't wait to play that, but also that manga looks like it will be a winner too. I know it handles like the PSP FF game did and I found that one very enjoyable (more than it's source material game too.)

Yeah this was one that had been on my radar for awhile and I was looking forward to it. However, about 2 weeks ago I got cold feet and canceled my pre order to do a wait and see. I had the same feeling as I did for Watch Dogs when I canceled that as well. Looks like I will check this one out once it goes on PSN+ or budget shelf.

At least I can either flip it on the secondary market or send it back to Amazon. Won't be opening it, though.

I think the real problem with The Order is that they didn't license Warren Zevon. If they had started off by basing the game around that licensing deal it would have turned out better.

Well not all are that brutal. Seems like the graphics and atmosphere are stunning. But it seems conclusive that the combat in gameplay is restrictive and average at best.
