Story:Sentient is a first-person adventure developed by Psygnosis and released on the PlayStation in 1997. It was also released for the PC the same year. Sentient's main feature is the artificial intelligence controlling multiple individual crew members aboard the station, each with their own assignments and behaviors. You interact with the AI characters through an elaborate parser interface, which allows you to ask them everything from the location of a vital piece of equipment, to their opinion of another member of the crew. To succeed, you must take advantage of the crew's help through this social system. Through interaction with more than 60 characters and exploration of 200 real-time rendered locations you need to try and save the ship, and yourself. The game automatically randomizes sub-plots so that it will be different every time you play.Show more

I played the demo first from the playstation magazine, I remember for ages no shop seemed to have the game then randomly one day I came across a second hand copy and I was blown away by the idea of maybe the freedom it gave well kind of freedom not seen in many games earlier on on the ps1 besides Kingsfield 1 which was actually 2 had or atleast games I had access to at the time just great early days of games evolving into 3d from 2d, it's kind of the norm now but then was wow that looks so real but it didn't really 🤣 true arcade in the living room actually there are so many ps1 and 2 games which I could think of but anyway this is definitely a rare one which should be considered. Ps there wasn't really such of a story to this but we all have this type of find now any then back then 😉

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.
