I really like pokemon, especially how easy it is and that you can one hit most pokemon. Would I enjoy nexomon instinction or coromon? I'm a bit scared that they are more difficult where each battle takes longer which I find boring doing the same thing over and over again if it takes too long, and I'm not a fan of stalling techniques, endless revives or something like that. I like fast battles with bonding with the monsters. I like it to become overpowered with quick battles, and am fine if there are some easy puzzles. They both look great, also open for other suggestions like rpgs on switch. But I'm very much doubting to get either or both if each battle takes forever compared to pokemon games

I’m going to be going through a rough patch in my life pretty soon and could use something comforting to pass the time. I’m a huge fan of open world games but a lot of the games I’m playing now can be a little depressing at times (currently Tainted Grail and FNV). I don’t mind a little darkness but I’m hoping for something a little more lighthearted that preferably has some good combat, a decent story, and lots to do. Here’s a few I’ve already played that I enjoyed:

RDR2

Skyrim

Outward

Fallout 4 and Fallout London

BOTW and TOTK

AC Black Flag and Odyssey

So far, I’ve heard that Horizon Zero Dawn and Crimson Desert might fit the bill, but I’ve tried Zero Dawn and am not a fan of the exclusive bow combat. Any and all recommendations or advice would be much appreciated!

Looking for super chill games to play when I just want to relax.

So far thats stardew Valley and snow runner. Motor town behind the wheel

Minecraft another game i tend to find really chill, along wjth balatro, Slay the spire and vampire survivors.

Have also played, roots of pachia, Coral Island, my time at sandrock and my time at portia and light year frontier especially farm together 2.

I also enjoyed halls of torment, Conquest Dark, greed land Brotato and magicraft soulstone and deep rock galactic survivors were also fun for other survivors likes gameplay.

I also really enjoy planet crafter and the last care taker

Hi im considering buying one of the games from the title, Balatro, clover pit, megabonk. Im a very big fan of rougelikes. I put a lot of hours in the binding of isaac, slay the spire, vampire survivors or recently scritchy scratchy. I dont know what to choose. I realy want something that will fill a lot of time. Let me tell you my worries about those games and maybe after some clarification from yall ill be able to choose.

I played balatro a bit when it released on my friends pc and it was fun couple hours. I think it might be a little bit complicated i guess?? I dont know really, im also courious about how much it changed from the time i played. Its a bit more expensive in comparison to other games im considering tho.

Clover pit is a game that i have litterally no knowlege about, so i just want to try it cuz it looks cool.

I have doubts about megabonk cuz when i played vampire surivor (i consider those games similiar, correct me if im wrong tho) i was bored after +/- 30 runs. Im scared that itll happen again and i dont have a lot of money on me rn so i have to be sure.

Sorry if i seem like a paranoic or something lol i just want to make a good decision!

Crimson desert:

I’m interested in the game and really want a new RPG to sink my teeth into but the lack of a character creator, the very poor story, and the price is currently pushing me away.

Resident evil 9:

I love the RE series. I loved RE 2, RE 3, RE 4, RE 8 and now I’m hoping I’ll love RE9. The main things holding me back is the price point and worries about replay-ability.

Toxic commando:

I have bought WWZ and Space Marine 2 and loved both. Toxic commando seems like exactly more of what I love. The only thing is that I’ve heard it’s really short. This is also the cheapest game in this list.

WH40K battlesector:

I already own one of the games in a bundle for it so I’m gonna be getting a small discount on it anyways. I’ve recently gotten into turn based strategy and really wanna get into more of it. I haven’t done as much research into this one so I’m unsure of how much entertainment I’m gonna get out of it.

In terms of me as a person:

I like RPG’s and FPS’s mainly but I am willing to branch out and try new genres. I don’t mind long games but I am currently away from home, so I’m reliant on a really slow laptop to play games. I also don’t mind hard games so long as it’s easily learnable or tune-able.

Also, I don’t mind other recommendations around the same price range.

Penultimately, I’m looking for a game to ride out the last bit of the semester. Something I can get through over time. Something that isn’t too long or complex or requires any long term investment. I’m looking for something fun and also something that has some decent replay value.

i have 30 kr or 3,06 us dollars and since steam is having a sale i wante to buy a game i like first and third person shooters horror and open world when the are done right and i like hyrule warriors age of calamity so i wonder which one of this 8 games i should buy

1 Saints Row The Third Remastered

2 Saints Row: The Third

3 Saints Row 2

4 Call of Juarez

5 Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

6 Tomb Raider Game of the Year

7 BioShock 2 Remastered which also gives me the none remasterd version

8 ONE PIECE PIRATE WARRIORS 3

I did not no include Call of Juarez gunslinger since i alredy owne that game

hi Xbox fans ,to start I am a playstation user since I was born, ; so this days it's just I kinda like to buy an Xbox 360 ,I like the shape of the console and even some games like Halo (play it on my cousin Xbox) , so do you think get one is a good deal this days even if I have a ps3 ,and recommend some good Xbox games to play.

Games I have and played a bit so far

Hogwarts Legacy: meh, good graphics but I can’t get into the new storyline

Sonic and Shadow Generations: don’t like playing with such fast characters, only end up getting mad because I hit a bunch of stuff lmao

Mario kart World: have every character except for one, and every cart, don’t like not having an objective

Firewatch: best game I’ve ever completed…(albeit one of the only ones)

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake: how I learned I don’t like 2D RPGS

Silksong: i dont know yet

Persona 3: got stuck and gave up, but loved the feel and characters, I could easily get sucked in for hours, might try again.

I don’t know I guess I wanna play more short games like firewatch that keep me drawn in, but I’m at a loss of where to start. Also perhaps I’ll give cyberpunk a try if I’m desperate.

Hey guys,

looking for a game that I can play on my Mac. I am not too picky, and it does not need to be a game on Steam. I recently just quit OSRS, and while I am not looking to replace it, I would like to have something I can play while laying on the couch or in bed sometimes.

I enjoy MMOs, RPGs, Pokemon, Strategy games, etc. Really not too picky.

Thanks in advance!

The only Switch 2 exclusive that I played so far was DK Bananza and I am looking for something to play next. Never played Mario Galaxy 1 or 2. In fact, the only Mario game I played is Mario Odyssey (and Luigi's Mansion 3 if you want to count it). Many say that Galaxy is the best Mario game of all time. I am not much of a Pokemon fan, nor do I usually play cozy games (though I like Minecraft, which I understand is also similar to Pokopia in some ways) but everyone is praising Pokopia so much and it does sound like a very fun game (my only concern is the real-time mechanic, things taking real time to be built and in general, feeling the need to come back every day and at specific hours). I was pretty excited about it when I read about the game and its reviews after it released but since it's not a genre I usually play I am quite cautious about it. On the other hand, Mario galaxy (the only complain I heard about it is the stiff controls compared to other Mario games, especially Odyssey) is many people's favorite Mario game and it looks very good too.

I had already played RDR2 and it is a great game but until now i never really wanted to play the prequel. If the sequel is great then the first part must also be good but i want to hear others opinions on this aswell. Is it as good as the second part or is it even better maybe? (Also i saw that recently a PS5 upgraded version of it came out)

I’m thinking about buying Ninja Gaiden 4 since it’s 35% off and now $71 here in Australia, and I’m pretty tempted. From what I’ve seen, the gameplay looks really fast-paced and challenging, which is exactly the kind of thing I enjoy. It seems like a game I could sink a lot of time into and actually have fun mastering.

I’m also really interested in going for the platinum trophy, since I like pushing myself to fully complete games like this. At the same time, I’m not sure if I should grab it now or wait for a bigger sale later on. Do you think it’s worth buying at this price, or would it be smarter to hold off for a better deal? Cause I have had people say that it’s fun but to wait for a sale so should I buy now?

Hi

Alan wake 2

Cod Black ops 4

Cod Cold War

so which one should i get? (witcher 3 is the cheapest of them all)

I'm 34m and come from years of Rust on PC. Getting a bit more of it now and looking for something else but feel like I've played most of the common games on Steam but not liked them.

I love the idea of MMOs like BDO, WoW etc but the fantasy monster style isn't my type of game. I prefer a realistic approach to games, for example I like FPS games and tend to play games like Tarkov, DayZ etc for their realistic approach.

Are there any MMO PC games like BDO for example but aren't that fantasy focused while having a good population?

I'm essentially looking for a MMO with a good economy, crafting, base building, that's as realistic as possible in combat and other things, but MMO is the most important.

Thanks

So, to the point. I liked what the game was trying to do and the core idea of the loop was there, but felt short of expectations for me to keep playing past mid-ish game.

What I'm looking for:

Run/ride-based game loop. Have a hideout (static or mobile), gear up, go out, grab stuff in a hostile environment, make it back or lose it all. Upgrade, go again.

Complex crafting preferable, I don't mind complex controls either. If multiplayer, PvP opt-in. Long playthrough possibility ideal. Combat should be a necessity, but feeling like the main character gets boring in these games.

Atmosphere, attention to detail, freedom of approach. Grew up on imm sims and "Eastern Europe simulators" (Stalker, Metro, etc.), would prefer something gritty and eerie (think Alan Wake, Control, Voices of the Void). Games you could describe as "cozy" or "chill" aren't what I'm looking for.

My issues with Pacific Drive:

Too grindy in all the wrong ways. Basic materials are too plentiful and easy to get, upgrade currency is so rare you end up needing to do pure energy runs to get to the upgrade tiers you want. Maybe this is a difficulty issue (I played on normal), don't know. I liked the "mixed blessing" system of the DLC trinkets, too bad it was only applicable on DLC map rides.

Not scary. The game kept me on my toes for maybe three rides until I figured out that oh, this is just going to be slightly eerie instead of actually frightening. Weather helps but ends up being just an inconvenience. I liked what they were trying to do with the DLC but once you see what the anomalies do once, the same thing happens and they end up being a nuisance/inconvenience. I don't enjoy jumpscares either but a general sense of unease and danger is fun for me in games like these, just wasn't there in this one. Lots of negative space (both visually and gameplay-wise) and the game seems to use so little of it.

Performance. The game has insane performance hog for little visual impact. Why they went with Unreal for a low-poly look here is beyond me but I'm not very knowledgeable about these things so it's just a minor inconvenience; had to spend a while tweaking my settings so my RTX 3060 wasn't sounding like it was ready to take off to space.

What I've played or am not looking to play (that I think are similar games):

Janky, unfinished, early-access slop.
Stalker and Fallout-adjacent games (GAMMA, Chernobylite, Misery, Underrail, Atom RPG etc.)
Dredge, Days Gone, Mad Max, Subnautica and its clones + Outer Wilds + Zomboid
roadtrip games (Long Drive, Keep Driving, Summer/Winter Car etc.)
Forever Skies, Voidtrain
Forever Winter

I'm definitely forgetting something but you can safely assume if it's on Steam, I already know about it.

When I was a kid I loved Shin Megami Tensei IV, but I got stuck and never finished it. I recently got a flood of nostalgia, remembered the game, and immediately regretted never fully beating a Shin Megami Tensei game. I wanted to fix that.

Money is tight right now so I can only afford one game but out of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, Nocturne, and even spinoffs like Raidou and Soul Hacker which would you guys recommend?

I’m looking for a story that will stick with me and gameplay I can sink my teeth into. I’m really excited to play and look forward to reading your recommendations.

As the titles suggests - Any co-op games me (on the portal) and my wife (on the PS5) you’d recommend? We’ve enjoyed stardew valley and it takes two but are there any online games we could try out? We would be playing them all off my ps plus extra account if that’s possible?

PS plus extra games would be more appreciated but I’d also happily buy some games.

I’m thinking about buying Ninja Gaiden 4 since it’s 35% off and now $71 here in Australia, and I’m pretty tempted.

Cause I have had people say that it’s fun but to wait for a sale so should I buy now?

I’m thinking about getting these games but I’m still not completely sure yet. Have any of you played them, and what are your honest thoughts or experiences with them so far? I’ve never played any of the Ark games before, so I’m wondering if that could be a problem or if it’s still easy to get into as a beginner without prior experience or knowledge.
