Based on what you said you didn't like, both have huge budgets and can get pretty deep with the gameplay, but like God of War they're also designed so you're constantly moving forward with the story and upgrading your character rather than running into huge difficulty roadblocks. For what it's worth, God of War was my 1A and Spider-Man my 1B for favorite game of 2018, and Horizon was my favorite of 2017.


I'd also recommend Dead Cells and Apex Legends, those are my go-to timekillers outside of MLB The Show but they are also on XBox so you could've played either of them before now if you wanted. I want to recommend Bloodborne but it's big learning curve might turn you off if you don't play games a lot.


You'd probably also like the Uncharted games a lot, as long as you don't compare its action to Gears of War and take it on its own terms the stories and set pieces are some of the best in gaming.
