Ballers gate 3? Pretty sure that runs on. Steam deck.

WhatSay,

It’s verified

Walk_blesseD,

It’s only just playable on the Steam Deck. I really wouldn’t expect it to perform to a satisfactory standard rendering two scenes at once in split-screen.

  • Roots of Pacha

Easy recommends if you liked Stardew Valley.

Weird recommends would be My time at Portia/Sandrock. They absolutely have combat, but have romance systems and a cuter aesthetic. Even the enemies are derpy/cute.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

I second Fields of Mistria. It’s just better than Stardew Valley in my opinion, in almost every way.

RixMixed,

My partner’s been playing Fields of Mistria and the art direction looks like it’s Game Boy Advanced era which is kinda neat.

She’s always complaining about forgetting to put the chickens away xD

3D rotations are awful and the reason why we can’t have legs in Fallout 4.

Undertale, mercy run. The goal is to never kill a monster. It has combat, but the combat mechanic is moving your “heart” to dodge attacks and keep chosing mercy.

daggermoon,

Today I learned I played the game wrong

Shou,

That means, you can play the game again and have a very different experience!

Bang for buck.

Morrowind was made by a team of about 35 people. Sure they could have put the effort in but then you’ve got all those animations to make and test. How do they tie into stats? Do they look dumb at higher stat levels? Also they’ll use up a little more resources on console which was a big struggle (Morrowind literally had to reboot the Xbox mid game to free up memory).

I played one a few months back that might fit the bill. ‘Garden Life: a Cozy Simulator’ It’s a game where you grow/decorate a garden of flowers and sell/give them to people. Very pleasant.

Glytch,

I played that as well. Very cozy and relaxing.

I don’t know if you’d consider visual novels a game, but even if the ‘character’ you’re playing is a male, the feminine aspects come out really well in Doki Doki Literature Club.

JackbyDev,

How the fuck do you recommend DDLC when OP says non-violent?

OP, DDLC is a fun game, but there’s a reason it’s tagged psychological horror. It’s not just a meme. I won’t elaborate in case folks wanna try it out. I do suppose it is a “girly” horror though.

There is nothing hard about 3D rotation, at least not for people successfully building a 3D open world game of that scope. Their characters can turn and you have a direction, there is no difference to walking in that sense.

If anything, assuming this is about NPCs, they didn’t want to create animations for that and just turning them mid animation looked stupid.

As for the PC, automatically turning the player is honestly a bad idea in first person. It can be disorienting for some players.

pulido,

I’m referring to 3rd person. You can’t see the character model in first person.

NPCs don’t have a camera following them, so they can’t run in a different direction than what it’s facing.

De_Narm,

These games are meant to be played in 1st person and 3rd person is just an after thought. In this case, yes, that’s maybe just laziness or more likely they didn’t have time for low priority stuff.

sleepydragn1,

Adding on to what you’re saying: I think it’s pretty clear that Morrowind and Oblivion are more focused on a first-person perspective for the player character with third-person being a bit of a secondary concern. As such, it seems to me like the focus of the third person animations is on matching what the player would see in first person, especially since they can switch between the two with a single button press.

For example, when the player holds the “A” key to move pure left while keeping their view straight, it certainly seems more natural from a first-person perspective that they’re strafing left rather than turning their torso left with their head and arms awkwardly straining at a 90° angle (try this at home, it feels weird).

The alternative here would be for the character to actually turn their whole body left when you hold the “A” key in third-person, but then have their view (i.e. their head and arms) snap 90° to the right whenever you switch back to first-person, which seems odd and immersion breaking.

That being said, obviously it does look quite jank from a third-person perspective for a player to be strafing all the time, even when they’re in non-combat scenarios. This isn’t helped by aging animations, either.

Life Is Strange

www.gog.com/fr/…/life_is_strange_complete_season

It’s not an action/combat game but there are violent parts in the story

Kazumara, (edited ) do games w Recommendations for "girly" games?

Oh I think I know a good one! Haven, and it’s currently 60% off. You play as a couple who escaped a controlling society to a foreign planet. (Three gender combinations can be chosen for the couple)

There is a combat element, and I don’t think you can avoid it, but what you do is essentially clean the corruption off the local wildlife, instead of killing. Don’t know if that works for you, but it’s worth giving it a look I think.

My wife loves Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, and she’s been way into Hello Kitty: Island Adventure lately. It seems to split the difference between those things and add some of its own spice on top.

YiddishMcSquidish,

I had childhood PTSD flashbacks reading “adventure Island” without ever having played any animal crossing games.

YiddishMcSquidish, (edited ) do games w Recommendations for "girly" games?

While there are combat aspects of it, you can play the fuck out of Stardew valley without ever even seeing the cave. Definitely slice of life, with open relationship options(open as in mf, mm, ff, makes no difference. Not screwing everyone).
