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.

Owlboy! Good game and not very long.
that could be a good reason to start with Owlboy :)
Owlboy is beautiful and a lot of fun. There's some RPG and exploration involved, so it's not that quick paced.
Salt and Sanctuary is awesome! It's hard but very far from dark souls-hard. There's usually a checkpoint close to where you are and a bit of grinding helps a lot, but overall the game is very captivating.
Ori is the one game I don't know anythign about except for the fact that it's beautiful.
That's good to hear about Salt. If i encounter any game that is properly "souls-like" I won't play it for very long.
Ori is the only one I have played but i will say it was beautiful. I am not really a gamer so I can honestly say that I have not heard of the other 2.
Very good choice of games. I personally like indie games and all on your list hit the spot. I heard great reviews to Ori. If you like those type of games you will also like Hollow Knight. That game is a masterpiece.
Oh i know that about Hollow Knight for sure. I've finished it but I really don't think I'll ever be able to 100% it! One of my favorite games of all time and just a piece of art!
Never played any of the games but I love buying bundles and I think I've heard pretty good things about Ori in the past. Enjoy dude!
I vote for Ori! :)
Thanks!
