I just got 3 new games in a bundle, which one should I play first?

Lately I have stepped away from the PS4 because as you kind of expect, their marketing is completely focused on getting people to upgrade to a PS5 or to even try to sell the VR set to you. The type of games that I really enjoy are not necessarily graphically intensive but have great game mechanics and are just fun.

Some games with fantastic graphics that I feel absolutely SUCK are Days Gone because it is repetitive and a fake open world game with too many fetch quests and both of the latest Final Fantasy games, which are games is trash-talk on a regular basis because they focused too much on graphics and too little on the game actually being any fun.

So I found a bundle of games that I picked up for $15 and while none of them are new, they are new to me.

I wonder if you have any thoughts because I haven't even installed any of them yet.

I got Owlboy just because it was included in the trio. I have never heard of this game but am under the impression that it was released for Nintendo Switch as well as PC. All I know about it is that it was a surprise hit and that it is metroid-vania. That's probably good enough for me right there.

Salt and Sanctuary is a very small game (less than 1GB) so I don't really know what to expect out of this one. I have seen some of the art and it looks pretty kick ass but anytime i hear the word "souls-like" it makes me think I am not going to like it. I dig metroidvania games but I absolutely hate the ultra-hard games like Dark Souls, Bloodbourne, and the Nioh games.

I probably feel this way because I normally drink booze while I am gaming and don't have the lightning quick reflexes necessary to master them. Whatever, if you break it down in overall price this cost me $5 so it doesn't really matter. I'll just quit if it gets too hard.

I think basically everyone is familiar with this game and I have actually played it a bit in the past. This is a beautiful game and I was surprised to see it in the bundle but I think this has to do with the fact that this game is quite old now and there has already been a sequel to it that has been out for at least a year. I am looking forward to playing this one even though I have heard the difficulty is a bit punishing later on in the game.


So if you had to give me advice on which one of these games to install and have a go at first, which one would you choose? I'm gonna let the community decide for me because at the moment I am still trying to 100% Death's Door.

I would play the 2nd one. Salt and Sanctuary looks like a game I would play. The other 2 I would probably not.

I normally drink booze while I am gaming

My vote is to let the booze decide.

If the booze can't decide, I vote for...

nice photoshopping dude!

Ha ha. It was a bit rushed 😅 Which game did you go for?

Owlboy. It's alright, i hope it improves soon because thus far it's a bit meh. I probably feel this way mostly because Death's Door was so incredible though.

I vote for Ori and The Blind Forest! I never play any of them though. I just prefer the older one which might have more guides. lol

I vote for Ori, but I do recall that when I was playing it I got to a certain point where it took me like 50 tries to get through one section. I don't know if this was near the end of the game but it was maddening because a slight mistake resulted in insta-death. It was lovely though, but based on what I have seen about your postings I think you wold probably give up at that point and it is one of those games that uses all the buttons and after a break I forgot what they did and this made proceeding all but impossible.

I haven't played Owlboy but have heard that it is easier, so maybe start there?

I think Ori and the Blind forest is best to play first.

thanks. it does look the best out of the bunch, that is for sure
