+
+Your collection has a great mix of AAA blockbusters, indie gems, and sandbox games—but there are some **glaring gaps** in genres, gameplay styles, and must-play experiences. Here’s what’s missing and what to add:
+
+---
+
+### **🎮 Missing Genres & Must-Have Games**  
+*(Sorted by Priority to Fill Gaps)*  
+
+#### **1. Roguelike/Lite (Fast, Replayable, Challenging)**  
+   - **Why?** Your library lacks "pick up and die" games perfect for short sessions.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Hades* (PS4) – Best-in-class storytelling + combat.  
+     - *Dead Cells* (PS4) – Tight Metroidvania/roguelike hybrid.  
+     - *Returnal* (PS5) – If you upgrade, this is a *must*.  
+
+#### **2. Metroidvania (Exploration + Progression)**  
+   - **Why?** Only *Shovel Knight* scratches this itch lightly.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Hollow Knight* (PS4) – Masterpiece of atmosphere and challenge.  
+     - *Ori and the Blind Forest* (PS4) – Gorgeous, emotional platformer.  
+
+#### **3. JRPGs (Story-Driven, Turn-Based/Tactical)**  
+   - **Why?** Your RPGs are all Western (*Witcher 3, Fallout 4*).  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Persona 5 Royal* (PS4) – Stylish, deep, and addictive.  
+     - *Final Fantasy VII Remake* (PS4) – Modern classic with action-RPG combat.  
+
+#### **4. Survival/Crafting (Deeper Than Minecraft)**  
+   - **Why?** *Minecraft* and *LEGO Worlds* are casual sandboxes.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Subnautica* (PS4) – Underwater survival with horror elements.  
+     - *The Forest* (PS4) – Horror + base-building (great co-op).  
+
+#### **5. Puzzle/Logic Games (Brain-Burning Fun)**  
+   - **Why?** Your library skews action-heavy.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *The Witness* (PS4) – Brilliant open-world puzzles.  
+     - *Portal: The Companion Collection* (If it comes to PS4).  
+
+#### **6. Horror (You Have Almost None!)**  
+   - **Why?** Big gap for immersive scares.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Resident Evil 2 Remake* (PS4) – Survival horror at its best.  
+     - *Alien: Isolation* (PS4) – Unmatched tension.  
+
+#### **7. Fighting Games (Beyond *Mortal Kombat*)**  
+   - **Why?** *MK X* is fun but shallow long-term.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Street Fighter 6* (PS4/5) – Best fighting game in years.  
+     - *Dragon Ball FighterZ* (PS4) – Flashy, accessible anime fighter.  
+
+#### **8. Immersive Sims (Player Choice-Driven)**  
+   - **Why?** No *Deus Ex* or *Dishonored* here!  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Dishonored 2* (PS4) – Stealth + supernatural powers.  
+     - *Prey* (PS4) – *BioShock* in space with deeper systems.  
+
+#### **9. Co-Op Gems (Beyond *A Way Out*)**  
+   - **Why?** More variety for multiplayer.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *It Takes Two* (PS4) – Best co-op game ever made.  
+     - *Overcooked 2* (PS4) – Chaotic couch co-op.  
+
+#### **10. Indie Darlings (Unique Experiences)**  
+   - **Why?** You have *Journey* and *Flower*, but more gems exist.  
+   - **Add:**  
+     - *Celeste* (PS4) – Tough platformer + mental health themes.  
+     - *Outer Wilds* (PS4) – Space exploration mystery (go in blind!).
