PS4 is unavailable right now, so I'm after a few decent games on the old PS3 that do a good job of balancing storyline, action and challenging puzzles.
Not necessarily after open world games that require too much time to get satisfaction from.
Any help?
Good PS3 games

Picked it up off Ebay for £3.30, haven't played Driver since the second one after the third got annihilated review wise years ago.

The Driv3r drama is really quite interesting. If you've got 20 minutes to kill then this is a good watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEQOv2g0JA
Let me know if you enjoy San Francisco. Only negative thing I have to say about it is the terrible multiplayer as it came from that era where literally every game had to have a tacked-on multiplayer, even if it didn't make sense.

Shall do, MP isn't of concern as I'm antisocial both in reality and digitally.

The Witness can go f*** itself. When "puzzles" require the player to have a phd or to be off the scale on the autism spectrum that's me out.

For the first hour it's enjoyable/doable....after that it is just prententious to the point you resent it. I thought I was a fare way through but after looking at a guide it was a case of absolute nope and uninstalled it.

Have you checked your library?
Before they stopped giving ps3 games i used to download everything that came with ps plus membership, including the free games.
If you did the same tou probably have a few gems in there you can install and have a play on

Metal Gear Solid 4, Guns of the Patriots. It's a PS3 exclusive and part of arguably the best videogame saga ever made. The catch is that you need to like/understand the previous games to fully appreciate it.

It arrived on Friday and since then I've loved every minute of it. I'm actually really impressed so far with every aspect of the game and how well it performs on the PS3. No glitches, quick load times and very smooth running which is suprising considering how much can be going on at any one time. I was never a big Burnout fan but this I can definitely get behind and reminds me a lot of Stuntman which I loved as a teenager. Martin Edmondson definitely knows how to make a solid car based game.
Only on Chapter 4 as the side missions are addicting and hunting down the movie token things seems to have taken priority (I will find them all). Will do some more of the story later as want to open the map up even more som for £3.30 it's an absolute bargain.

Glad you're enjoying it. Only sad thing is there is no sequel - one was planned to be set in Chicago but it got canned in favour of Watch Dogs.
Interesting that you mentioned it but I'd forgotten how glitch-free it was. Got it at the same time as Red Dead Redemption and that game frustrated me so much with the constant bugs.
Also a quality soundtrack. Fit the game perfectly.
Driver: SF is such a well put together game. Presumably they wanted to atone for Driv3r.
