I briefly tried Myst several years ago but couldn’t really get into it. Now Im 69 and mostly retired (boo!) and interested in trying something new. I probably want to stretch my brain more than just kill virtual zombies, so I’m thinking strategy games might appeal to me.
Just looking to kinda wait out this depression until I can get hold of my antidepressant medication in approximately two weeks. What are some comforting/uplifting experiences I can use to keep myself company and for a bit of emotional regulation maybe for approximately next two weeks? Thanks so much!
i loved Tunic,Deaths door and Pipistrello. i don't own any nitendo consoles so its not possible for me to play Actual zelda games
Me and my friend keep running into this issue and then take ages to find a new game to play. I don't tend to like survival games or things like REPO and PEAK, they don't tend to like most shooters and scary horror games. We'd prefer something fairly long (10+ hours) that isn't super expensive (<$70).
We just finished Minecraft Dungeons, it was very good. Things we've already played and really liked were: Terraria, A Way Out, Remnant 2, Tiny Tina's Wonderland was amazing (neither of us have liked any of the Borderlands games we've tried), Trailmakers, Minecraft, Tactical Breach Wizards (which we played together through discord), Vampire Survivors, Risk of Rain 2, Schedule 1, and Kingdom Two Crowns.
I tend to really like narrative experiences and games with satisfying progression systems, they tend to like big number games (Balatro, incremental games, they've played a lot of Hades)
I want to be a soldier fighting for survival on a huge battlefield. Not a hero or a mutant or a special character. Just a guy trying to make it out alive.
Xbox please.
Best game for this?
Here are some games I’ve played and loved:
Open World- Hogwarts Legacy, BOTW, TOTK, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Cozy Games- Animal Crossing, Cult of the Lamb
Narrative Adventure- What Remains of Edith Finch, Life is Strange, Stray, Return of the Obra Dinn
Sorry for vague title, but i’ve been having trouble finding what to play for months. The best I can describe is difficult games with mechanics to learn, yet are or eventually become mindless enough to where you can just listen to some music or watch a video in the background as you play. Also where said difficulty isn’t inflated by needing to grind stats or by other players way better then you are. Said mindlessness not coming from getting OP stuff in the game, but because of your own skill.
Theres only really three things I currently play that go with this, but none of them fully check all my points aside difficult until you develop the skills. Those being Fortnite (builds specifically), rhythm games, and the the Touhou games. Should I go more into the genres these games are from or find something else? I’ve been wanting to play more shooters, but a lot of them too competitive for me. Touhou is one of the easier shmups and the rest of the genre just feels daunting or it’s difficulty artifically inflated, though I guess those really only apply to ones that were from arcades. I’d be willing to try more. I don’t really have anything to say regarding rhythm games on this I love the entire genre.
I also notice from these picks of mine, you can really get invested in content then just the game. Best way I can explain it. Fortnite is much more then BR, both inside and “outside” the game. Rhythm games are such a vast genre that if you get bored of one or the typical gameplay, there are plenty others. Touhou is also so much more then the games and i’ve loved everything surrounding it. But I think i’m asking for too much for another game that can offer that.
For games i’ve tried recently, really only three . Deadlock, thought it was so cool but too much. HOI4. I really tried to learn the mechanics and that was really fun but it eventually got boring. I was really only invested for like 2 weeks. Also slightly fits the can get obsessed with more then just the game. And Risk of Rain 2. I just didn’t like it. Once again, sorry if this post is all over the place.
All I ask is please no Vampire Survivor type games.
Hi, I'm looking for games similar to Killer Frequency, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Stanley Parable, Marie's Room, etc. I am really nose-y and like to explore and find details about people in games lol. Killer Frequency scratched that itch perfectly but its hard to find other games like it!
I recently ended god of war, god of war ragnarok, tomb raider series, uncharted, red dead redemption 1&2, south park games, far cry, ghost of tsushima and yoteii, cyberpunk 2077 and im looking for a game what cyberpunk gave to me a feeling of unstoppable exploration, action thrilled gameplay, unlimited sidequest till you are maxed out to begin the storyline
I haven't really followed this genre for a long time, my last experience was about 10 years ago with the first Firaxis XCOM.
What are some good games in this genre nowadays? What would you recommend trying?

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
Looking for a game with a well-realized ancient setting, be it Mesopotamian, Egyptian, or similar ancient civilizations. I'm a sucker for fantasy, so it doesn't have to be strictly historical. It's more than enough to use the Ancient Near East as an starting off point for a constructed world. Good writing and atmosphere are what I'm after above all. I would most like to play an RPG in such a setting, but I enjoy strategy and the like too, so I could give that a shot.
Either mcs, or part of the party or at least important somehow. Anything but galge games and the sort would be appreciated.
Final Fantasy XIII comes to mind
Whats Up guys,
I need a new game, some Open world Game for the ps5. I like to smoke and play a good Open world Game, where I can explore everything and just have a good time. I Like Games with good looking graphic. What would be youre recommendations ?
Hey all.
Long story short, I was singing Eyes on Me to my 6-month old and I could feel the feels. I've been feeling in a bit of a funk lately, work's been crazy with downsizing + juggling a kid and everything has been kinda meh-ish.
But damn if Eyes on Me didn't hit all sorts of feels. So now, I'm looking for suggestions on games which have the emotional impact, that make you fall in love with your characters like how FF8, FF7, Mass Effect etc do. But with some QOL features ideally, no way I can play a game that is like an hour between save points for example. Some days, I only have 10-15 minutes sessions before my son starts crying or wife needs something etc.
Either PS5 or PC is fine. No switch sadly :(
Please and thank you! :)
The more options the better, I think the best baseline for this I can think of would be the Saint's Row series.
Sure you can buy weapons and ammo, the functional sales. But you can also buy clothing from quite a few different shops which you can also layer in most of the games, aside from 3 and 4. Also tattoos and jewellery. Plastic surgeon to change your appearance too.
I am just curious what other games might have things like this. I know GTA has it too, to a lesser degree. Red Dead Redemption 2 as well, I like that they have barbers along with it too.
And the more options the better, would be nice to know if there's a game out there that can even give Saint's Row 2 and it's reboot a run for their money in the shopping for cosmetics department.
I recently played Yakuza Like a dragon, liked ichiban plot but, the type of humor kicked me out from the game. Any suggestions? Thks!
I want a game about space and spaceships. preferably realistic. A game kind of like a spaceflight simulator.
I see The Forest/SOTF mentioned a lot online but Green Hell much less so. You won’t be disappointed. The end.
• Previously Enjoyed Games: collectors cove, animal crossing, stardew valley
• Preferred Genres: casual, cosy, rpg, open to anything really
• Budget: N/A
• Other Notes: find stardew valley’s fishing a little difficult as i experience pain in my hands and wrists. i own dredge, but haven’t played it yet. i’m really looking for something i can immerse myself into and do a repetitive task over and over again for fun, with a fish -> sell fish -> buy upgrades/bait/rods/etc -> fish loop.
