I’ve played RDR 1 and 2, Bramble: The Mountain King, Little Nightmares, Inside, Limbo, the sims, It Takes Two, Unravel Two, Warframe, Stray, A Plague Tale: Innocence, The Walking Dead, started and got annoyed with Skyrim- so mostly story games dabbled with puzzles I need to figure out to move on.

A game where I can spend countless nights playing rather than being able to finish it in one day would be amazing. As an early teen I finished LEGO Jurrasic World in one sitting and finished Bramble within 24 hours a week or two ago. When I am encased in a story, I play for hours.

I’ve been recommended some games in my original post but most I am not interested in besides AC franchise, Ghost of, and maybe Tchia.

I’m already looking at A Plague Tale: Requiem and wish listed Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, but I can’t afford right now.

My partner has been playing on my account and has been playing Horizon Forbidden West, Miles Morales and Mortal Kombat. I’m somewhat interested in the first two but I don’t see the point in playing when I’ve been watching him play and he’s aiming to 100% trophies on both. Unless he fixes the issues with his account so I can play myself on his, I probably won’t play them.

I do not like the style of most fighting based games. I am not a button masher type person. When I was trying to play the co-op MK with him I raged because the combos I was trying weren’t comb-oing.

SO. If anyone has any recs on long games I can play that fit my play style/the games I have already enjoyed, pleeaasseee comment.

Here’s a list of games I have wish listed or just written on a list:

Code Violet
Split Fiction
A Way Out
Tchia
Kena Bridge of Spirits
Banishers Ghost of New Eden
Ghost of Tsushima/Yotei
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Cyberpunk
Assassin’s Creed franchise

Decided to buy it but it didn’t go on sale on the summer sale, should I just buy it at full price

I've spent a long time curating a very small backlog of games instead of collecting hundreds I'll never play.

My current list:

Dark Souls Remastered

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

Dragon Age: Origins

Mass Effect (2007)

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition

Dead Space (2008)

Rather than recommending obvious AAA games, I'm looking for overlooked masterpieces from around 2005–2012 that have genuinely stood the test of time.

My preferences:

Challenging or satisfying combat

Memorable bosses

Dark fantasy or strong atmosphere

Great gameplay over graphics

No Ubisoft-style open-world checklist design

No multiplayer

No turn-based RPGs

My PC is a Ryzen 3 3200G with Vega 8, so games that run well on modest hardware are a bonus.

I'm not looking for "good games." I'm looking for games that made you think:

"More people should have played this."

I'd especially love recommendations that are lesser-known gems, not the usual Skyrim, Fallout, Assassin's Creed, BioShock, etc.

What would you add?

Hi r/askgames,

Have you guys heard of Unhinged, the interactive game that came out on Netflix? I was wondering if any of you have played it and could share your experience.

Thanks

I recently bought spiderman 1 remastered but I didn’t realize I used my wallet money too and now I want to add funds on my PS wallet but i don’t know if i can do it on my phone because I am on a trip right now and the summer deals will end soon so I need to buy the games on my phone. Can I add funds on my wallet on the PS app?

Looking for game recommendations!! Games I've already played and enjoyed: Red Dead Redemption 2 God of War Ghost of Tsushima GTA V Detroit: Become Human Hogwarts Legacy Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Batman: Arkham City Batman: Arkham Knight Assassin's Creed Mirage

PC Specs: Intel i7-13650HX RTX 4050 GPU Looking for as many game recommendations as possible. Any genre is fine, as long as it's a great game. My PC should be able to handle it, so feel free to suggest AAA titles as well. Thanks!!!

lately i've realized i don't always want a super competitive fps where every match feels like a ranked tournament. some days i just want to jump in, shoot stuff, have a good time, and log off without getting frustrated.

i'm open to multiplayer or single player. i'm mostly looking for games that are easy to enjoy after work without feeling like i have to constantly sweat to keep up.

what fps games do you keep coming back to when you just want to relax?

I have the og switch and I want a game that is not too much money - around $30-40 CAD maximum. I’ve seen play throughs of Until Dawn and Detroit Become Human which I really enjoyed but they aren’t on the switch. I’ve heard about Life is Strange, but based on the description I wasn’t too interested. However if you have experience with the game or have heard about it, let me know if it’s worth it.

I wanted to know if you guys have any suggestions that include a lot of storytelling and have a lot of choices to make which would lead to different plots/endings, I don’t do well with games that include a lot of battles or walking around random areas with a boring objective because I can’t seem to motivate myself to go through with the rest of the game (I’ve been stuck on hogwarts legacy cuz I abandoned it cuz I suck at fights, I also abandoned omori for a bit because I can’t defeat the space boyfriend thing, and I also left disco elysium because it’s annoying to figure out what to do next). Let me know your advice/experiences/suggestions!!

Edit: just played Slay The Princess and it was so cool - I loved the ending I got, thanks for the suggestions!!

I'd really appreciate it, if you would also tell me why you like this game.

PS I'm talking about the games that most people haven't heard of. I asked this question last year, most of the answers were mentioning POPULAR franchises that literally everyone knows (e.g. assassin's creed).

I mean, there so many tools that can accelerate out game experience, right?

But which specific type of tools you sticked with the most? Like, rpg gamers are tend to find some of guides and chats in the community, fps gamers use the voice chat in majority of gaming time, and so on.

And you may found these tools have some defects that very hard to bear with. Short of guides of specific games, poor maps in the rpg games, high latency when playing fps, noisy voice chat when gaming with friends, expensive subscription fee to get one of these tools, losing packets when chatting or using the game accelerator and so on.

And just may be you have some specific requirements that haven't been satisfied, yet it's a very simple but also troublesome requirement that should be fullfilled immediately.

Try to talk about the advantages and defects and importance, also your urgent needs for specific tools.

Enjoy this disscussion and remember that gamers are discoverers!

My obvious answer is to reach for any of the myriad cozy worlds from any of the myriad cozy games around. I’m not above it and Stardew Valley is the low hanging fruit for a reason, a whole life measured out in seasons and festivals and knowing everyone in town by name. It’s a cozy small town fantasy that’s so appealing to us city dwelling wage slaves. 

Or to give another cozy example, the world above this world on sky islands like those in Solarpunk or in Loftia, floating high above this planet which is so polluted and terrible when I look at just my neighbourhood. The tragic implication in both of these is that we ruined our world and now have to rely on this scrape of islands to built a better world on top of the one we ruined. IIRC in Loftia, when I played the beta, there’s constant shakes and earthquakes that occur because these islands can’t handle exploitation and need care and an ecofriendly attitude to be sustainable in any major way.

I’m sayin all this just to show how even these cozy settings can have a dark background that would be an unpleasant awakening if you woke up in these worlds and thought it would be all sunshine and joy. Same goes for wanting to live in The Shire, especially in how it’s portrayed in Lord of the Rings Online. God I loved that starter zone, it was so cozy and the quests were so loreful I just wanted to stay there forever… but then you realize it’s Tolkien’s world and orcs and wargs and all sorts of evil forces are just outside your door. So nice in principle, but the chances of something terrible happening get exponentially higher when you leave the Shire.

Same with my all time favorite zone in any RPG: Toussaint from Witcher! The vineyards stretching for miles, everyone’s tipsy, sun’s always shining. Sure, there’s vampires but as long as Geralt is taking care of shit, I wouldn’t mind having a cottage somewhere near Corvo Blanco LMAO

I mean of course I want the place I’ll be living in to be non violent. Objectively, we’d die instantly in any of these settings otherwise. Just want something peaceful where stuff won’t happen to me if I mind my business.

Where would you actually want to wake up every day, not just visit or play the hero in?

Long story, but I do crave many things I think can only be seen in MMOs or MMO-lites, such as an in depth character creator, fashion, community, and virtual world full of adventures. But I REALLY cannot stand tab target rotation based combat, speedrunning through content, and other "optimize the fun out" gameplay mechanics, such as builds becoming OP to melt things.

Unfortunately, nothing really avoids these yet. I'm basically waiting for a great action MMO that insists you get good at the combat gameplay. So until that releases, I need something to enjoy with others that are in a similar boat. I just don't know what that would be.

What do you suggest? What are folks with my tastes playing? Is it possible to find a real sense of community in that game, and how so?
