We have good taste we play all of the same games. I might need you orJanx to start recommending games to me being a PS4 newbie.
Persona 5 was also amazing. I hadn't played a JRPG in 15 years at least and I loved that game. It has perfect pacing for lack of a better way to describe it and is just a huge enjoyment all around to play casually and relax.
In addition to that list anyway!

I've won the fights but they piss me off because the combat itself isn't as responsive as say, bloodborne but at the same time expects you to be as quick and efficient as bloodborne and just makes it more frustrating than it would otherwise be.

+1 for Persona 5, really enjoyed it. yakuza 0 is also a fascinating game to play, i felt very immersed in the life of a weird japanese guy. and of course the last of us and uncharted collection + 4 are great PS4 showcase games.
i wouldn't buy nioh, dark souls 3, and bloodborne all at once. they are similar game styles. i'd play bloodborne then the other two months or years later

I very carefully navigated a thread on reddit where someone pointed out its functionality:
It's an infinity gauntlet easter egg. The activated effect changes depending on what you have slotted. As you might imagine, good candidates for slotting are enchantments with the words MIND, SOUL, POWER, etc I'm sure someone will put together a list of all the effects sooner or later.

I'm really trying to avoid going through the main story cause I'm too interested in these sidequests, lol.
Level 5 now. The travelers still wreck my ass. For those who've lit all the torches in the Lake: Do I need every cipher in order to do it? This seems like a huge quest, lol.
Just got the Chisel from the gigantic giant

You need both of the ciphers completed to light all of the gate torches. I don't remember what the rewards were exactly, but I don't remember being impressed.

That's such a shame. It seems to be the "end all" quests.
Muspelheim is fucking sweet as hell. Started doing it at level 3 and managed to beat the first two hard trials getting me up to level 5 from armor upgrades. Is this the place to go for armor or is there another location as good as this?

I like the Niflheim armor sets, passive HP regen (better regen rate the more pieces you have on), and decent enough stats. 3 sets to choose from but you can make all 9 pieces if you really want to grind it out.
I'm sure there's better armor for pure stats, but that constant hp regen is pretty useful. Edit: I'm playing on Give me God of War mode.
The mist mechanic is annoying af though until you get a couple of the armor pieces and enchantments to slow it down.

Niflheim armor took God of War difficulty from “frustrating but doable” when exploring the mists to borderline easy (depending on the creatures/unit types). Three pieces of the passive Health regen armor gets me an additional 1/4 to 1/2 of my life refilled between battles. You can find an axe pommel in Nifl that has a high proc chance of a 6 or 8 second Health burst upon kills (could be runic skill kills, but those happen often enough for me).
My combat rotation for the mist areas is:
4 shots of lightning arrows from Boy,
Flying Swarm Boy runic skill,
4 more shots of lightning arrows (using runic skill refreshes arrow charges),
Glaive Storm runic skill - at this point most of the weaker opponents are dead or very close to dead,
Leviathans Throw on the best target,
Then swing my axe at their weak point until they die
If it’s a hard pack and turns into a long fight, i play more defensive and wait for a Glaive Storm to come back off cooldown.
This strategy let me one shot all of the realm tear encounters in the middle of Nifleheim.
I’m so sad that I’m about to finish all of the side activities (or at least everything that I’m currently aware of). I haven’t gone back and finished Muspelheim (there’s an “Impossible” tier of challenges after you defeat all the standard ones), and I’ve yet to tackle the last Valkyrie fight, but everything else (except the story) is done.
Hopefully they’ve already started the planning and production of the next God of War. This game is easily in my top 3 games of all time. I would say it’s THE best, but I’m aware that I’m still well inside of the honeymoon phase

This isn’t a spoiler other than the reward for lighting all the braziers-
Its an enchantment that reduces Valkyrie damage taken by 5%. Tragically I got it after I beat almost all of the Valkyrie lol
It’s very little additional effort since you seem to be the kind of person who’ll be unlocking Niflheim anyway. So I wouldn’t say the reward is good or bad. It’s certainly not useless.
