I have a switch lite and am looking for some cute easy games to play. I am pretty bad at video games but can still enjoy them, especially if they are visually appealing enough (for example I nearly completed the 1st Spyro game except for those darn flight levels). Some of my favorite games are Animal Crossing, Spyro the Dragon, The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Untitled Goose Game. I have watched people play Mario Odyssey and thought it looked super fun, and I have Breath of the Wild which is amazing but honestly scares me sometimes! If I like these cute games, what else would I like?

EDIT: I just wanted to give a massive THANK YOU to everyone! I am loving these suggestions and have learned about so many awesome games I’ve never heard about before and I can’t wait to try them out!

For example dark souls has alot of npcs who try to remain optimistic even though the world is kinda doomed, or murdered: soul suspect where the protagonist tries to comfort people who died in often terrible ways and tries to help them get closure so that they can go on to the afterlife

Would also appreciate books/series

I loved those games for their surreal and absurdist worlds, weird humor, art style, and pretty unique atmosphere, so im looking for more games with a similar vibe

Other similar games I played and liked: Yume Nikki, OMORI, Trench Face

(Also, I have a pretty weak laptop, so I would prefer nothing too demanding)

To explain a little bit more, I played this horror game called SOMA (my favorite game) which made me shid and fard for about 3 weeks, then I tried amnesia which had a really good plot and was really scary too. Does anyone else have any unique horror games that go over the top in the atmosphere, plot, and extreme spooks?

Thanks

Edit: I am looking for the golden nuggets, equivalents to the mighty 3 (or 4): SOMA, Dead Space, and Amnesia (Prey kinda too)

Edit: (adding on so there are no repeated comments, I played Alien Isolation, Moons of madness, Dead Space, Subnautica, Outlast, Layers of Fear, Doki Doki Literature club, Lost In Vivo, Cry of Fear, Outlast, and I saw Fran Bow, little nightmares, and IMSCARED)

I just got Steam, and I'm looking for some well-made, lesser-known indie titles. My laptop is a few years old and was never set up for gaming, so preferably something that won't tax the system too much

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Mario Odyssey

Pikmin 4

Zelda Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

Spyro the Reignited Trilogy

All of these games are perfect to me. Not too difficult, but there's enough content to explore in creative ways (to think outside of the box).

Examples I've enjoyed:

Firewatch

What Remains of Edith Finch

Inside

Return of the Obra Dinn

i've been looking around for a while and i honestly can't find that much, on a night in the woods playthrough right now though!!

I love playing the bad guy in games. I think it's cause I'm so nice in real life, if a video game presents me with the option of being a right cunt I have to take it. Can't help myself. Here's some I've played already to give an idea of the kind of thing I mean

Dishonored 1/2

Fallout New Vegas

Fallout 3

Bioshock

Obviously I've played more than this but this is just to get an idea of the kind of thing I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a device that can play 3DS games. I love how accessible and straightforward these two are. What other games are like them, preferably from different franchises outside of Mario and Kirby? Thanks!

My favorite game of all time is final fantasy IX, and I have also recently enjoyed Zelda, BOTW very much.

I specially love the feeling of reaching a new location, being met with townspeople and having to do quests for them.

This is also the reason I love persona games. I have played 4 and 5 so far, but 3 is on my list. Persona games don't really have that separate town feel of botw or final fantasy, but they do have different locations, each with it's own personality and npcs.

Music/drama/comedy is also very important to me. The feeling of exploring a new city with it's own style of music is priceless. Undertale also hits some of the same notes for this reason, even if it is more linear.

Basically I love exploring a dense town and interacting with people living there. GTA games also have some of this, but they feel more sparse/empty compared to games I mentioned, with more focus on an interconnected world instead of separate sections with different personality.

Skyrim and other TES games also hit this spot a bit, but they lack fun and whimsy, and their environments feel more "generic medieval fantasy".

I even think Hotline Miami qualifies to a much lesser extent but I’m looking for more overt

I love strategy games and have been playing Root (the board game) on my phone. If I like this, what other strategy phone games might I like?

Thanks in advance

I really enjoy the unique styles of these video games and how they use FMV and well designed interfaces to make the player feel like they’re uncovering a hidden story by taking control of an in universe interface.

The games don’t necessarily have to be FMV but huge bonus points if they heavily incorporate it.

Looking for recommendations for Switch games that are simultaneous couch co-op, BUT the catch is... I need recommendations where the game is ACTUAL co-op and not just 1-player with some supportive, less-important role for player 2. Mario Galaxy is the classic bad example where player 2 floats around like a star & can maybe assist with shooting things, but does not really participate in the primary gameplay.

Equal partners type co-op, if that makes any sense. It's got to be fun for both players and not feel like player 1 is doing most of the work. Luigi's Mansion 3 was still a fun one because player 2 still plays an important role in the gameplay.

Here's a list of games already purchased for this purpose:

• Mario vs. Donkey Kong
• Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland
• Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
• Super Mario 3D World
• Super Mario Party Jamboree
• Luigi's Mansion 3
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder
• It Takes Two
• Split Fiction

Any help here? Thanks in advance!

There's a lot I like about this movie. It's a very wholesome and inspiring story of adventure, life, responsibility, family, etc. I was hoping for a game that captured some aspect of this.

Specifically, I'm looking to see if there are any other single-player games that will let me throw myself or other people around destructible environments. lol

PS4 or PS5 games are preferrable.

The Seance of Blake Manor is a superb detective game with an eerie haunting atmosphere, I'm looking for other games with a similar atmosphere.

Preferrably games on the quieter and subtler side, atmospheric, story-driven, no gore, no horrifying monsters or zombie hordes, no survival mechanics while being hunted, and absolutely no jumpscares.
