I do yearly rewatches of Until Dawn - Scary Game Squad. It’s five slightly drunk guys keeping teenagers in a horror movie alive. They played this at release so all their guesses and theories during the game aren’t influenced by what they saw on the internet.

The Scary Game Squad is fantastic, and Until Dawn is their finest work. It’s a perfect marriage of a group of guys who know all the horror story tropes and clichés and a game that is deliberately built around them.

Trespasser by Research Indicates is honestly so well written that it feels like director’s commentary rather than a let’s play.

Bobbin Threadbare’s Deus Ex. It’s half let’s play, half a series of lectures on various topics relating to the game.

For me a good let’s play is about the game and representing it, not about about the personality doing it.

That Trespasser LP is what motivated me to play through the game myself, and I have no regrets. That game is insane. It’s awful, don’t get me wrong, but crazy ahead of its time. They basically tried to make a VR game two decades before VR gaming became a thing. Without Trespasser, we wouldn’t have Half-Life: Alyx. Research Indicates’ LP is a fantastic way to experience this obscure but fascinating title.

AstralPath,

Best answer here.

I’d have to recommend Untitled Goose Game, Goat Simulator, the Karamari series, and music based (do the thing to the beat) games like Dance Dance Revolution, Taiko Drum Master, Guitar Hero, etc.

The remake of FF7 is pretty easy on newcomers, especially with understanding the story. I would caution about 16, though. It’s not hard; it’s just a different style of game play that’s not as forgiving.

Final Fantasy X is pretty good and linear too; it’s voice acted and modern but still turn based, so it’s not action heavy.

All of the games are pretty separate, though. There’s similar characters but they’re not really connecting nor is the story.

If you’re going to do the remake, I’d say try to keep away from the OG game or spoilers since it will make it so much better.

FF 8 and FF 9 are great too but a bit more complex, so it might be better off waiting on those until you get through another one first.

FFI and FFII (Understanding the concept of FF) ---- FFIV, FFV, FFVI (Get deep in story telling) ---- FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX (Base of 3D FF, must play) ---- FFXV, FFXVI (Recent titles).

Question is if it works Linux :)

Sharmat,

I can’t speak for the EGS version, but the game itself works fairly well.

Madiator2011,

I own original non steam version :)

worfamerryman,

Yeah it works. Well at least the last time I tried which was a few years ago but I imagine it still works fine.

Animortis,

But how do you handle add ons?

worfamerryman,

You will have to search for how to do it. I never played with addons. I’m a pretty casual mmo player.

Sharmat,

You can also use Minion too, just instead of downloading the executable, just get the jar file and run it through the terminal.

Animortis,

It’s been a while, but iirc it didn’t really work. Couldn’t find the game or something.

Minion is the standard now. Makes life ever so much easier on Windows. I really hope it works for Linux folks, too!

Artemis,

I run it through Steam as a “non-Steam” game via Proton and have also run it with Lutris. It runs on both 100% fine, if not even better than Windows. In fact, this game running great has convinced me to finally drop my dual boot!

Toxinflora,
@Toxinflora@lemmy.ml avatar

that works as well, but there is a linux client called heroic that works for both epic and gog which helps makes things simpler for setting up the games to work, so i think that would be easier than using proton or lutris

Return to Castle Wolfenstein? The new Wolfensteins have quite a bit of story, but the old one is all skippable.

Dead Cells, you can even turn off 'lore' in settings.

Omegamanthethird, (edited ) do gaming w Good singleplayer games without any story?

Rogue Legacy was going to be my suggestion. Such an easy (as in no stories/puzzles to keep track of) game to pick up and play. It’s something that was lost a bit on the second game. But it looks like you’ve played it.

Dungeon Encounters is a pure turn-based RPG with almost no story.

Theatrhythm is a fun music game.

Sound Shapes is a platformer.

Immortal Redneck is a FPS rogue-like.

That’s just what’s in my games list that might be what you’re looking for.

EverQuest! I was pretty young back then, but I remember EQ not having a quest tracker back in the day. You’d talk to NPCs and have to keep track of what they were asking for.

lightninhopkins,

I took that goddamn boat and ran for hours to get my warrior armor only to have no idea how to give the quest item to the centaur guy. I gave it to him and he just said “thanks”. It was brutal, but kinda hilarious in retrospect.

Runescape. Open and grind.

lightninhopkins, do gaming w What are your favorite video games that force you to pull out the pen and paper?

Original Metroid.

Durango807, do gaming w Good singleplayer games without any story?

Ready or Not is basically just a swat game with no story or dialogue that matters to gameplay.

Or a building or strategy game. Something like Cities: Skylines would maybe be good if you like that sort of genre.

Omegamanthethird, do gaming w What are your favorite video games that force you to pull out the pen and paper?

Only 2 games that really made me break out pen and paper.

Myst 3 and Final Fantasy XII (The Great Crystal).

DesTeufelsAvocado,

Yes, the crystal! I still have the scribbles of my map I drew back then. I loved the feeling to get “lost” in there.

Omegamanthethird,

I just got my notes out a month ago because someone was sharing their FFXII collection. It has so many switch names, one-way markings, and strike-throughs where I messed up and realized I went in a big circle. I’m so glad I didn’t use a guide for that.
