Ok I actually haven’t played BG3 yet lol, but I’m gonna suggest Freedom Force. It’s a superhero RPG with some cool character building. The game is on Steam and GOG but I see some people saying the GOG version works better out of the box for modern Windows.

It doesn’t have dialog trees though just combat. But it’s not violent, you said you didn’t like the violence. And it takes very little storage space.

House flipper, The Sims, Planet Zoo/Planet coaster, Two Point Hospital/Campus, or anything in the creative management genre. Stardew Valley is good, and in the same vein, Graveyard Keeper.

If you have a Switch, Animal Crossing

If she likes Factorio, try Terra Nil maybe?

Also, there's always minecraft in peaceful mode?

Rimworld. It's like the sims, but with war crimes.

One more recommendation I haven’t seen here - Dave the Diver. A cosy blend of underwater exploration, collecting, and selling sushi!

Let’s say the PC doesn’t count and you aren’t taking into account backwards compatibility, emulation, online play, homebrew games, and the cost/availability of games.

I’d rather quit gaming altogether at that point.

I game on PC myself but why would you quit gaming all together if you couldn’t do it on PC?

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Because I don’t like consoles, plain and simple. Everything they can do I also can on my PC, except better and for less.

Fair enough. I’d probably just go for the Xbox One in that case and deal with a few games still being moddable and supporting the keyboard and mouse as peripherals rather than give up on gaming

It Takes Two was really popular. I’ve only heard good things.

I, a casual PC gamer, played it with a hardcore console gamer, and it was very fun overall

But BOY were there some shooter sections that absolutely dismembered me with my WASD-brain 💀

We were here series. Coop puzzle game

Any of the overcooked style games like tools up.

Maybe some raft coop.

If you’re a fan of 80s-90s action movies check out “broforce”. There are some multiplayer "single stick shooters"out there that are quite fun, vampire survivors comes to mind. Don’t starve together is a great multiplayer experience. Others have said stardew valley, and I agree with them, if single player is desired check out animal crossing. Satisfactory is the 3-D version of factorio, with fewer resources constraints and less enemy aggression, Dyson sphere program is factorio tuned the opposite way. Rimworld and dwarf fortress are both highly recommended "run your own city, but in a passive manner"games

Satisfactory. Lots to organize and build. A bit of a learning curve if you want to get complex, but if you want to keep things simple it’s really doable.

No Man’s Sky. Space exploration, building, and all round reason to goof about for hours. (Free to play this weekend on all platforms.)

Both games have a great community.

Phogs is a game where you a control a dog-dog (Remember Cat-Dog from Nickelodeon? That, but double dog) through a series of themed worlds solving puzzles. The themes are things puppies are interested in (eating, sleeping, and playing). The game is meant to be played co-op, but I believe it can be played alone.

Are you playing with a controller or M/KB?

There are plenty of other CRPGs (good search term) that are fine with a mouse/keyboard. Larian kind of stands alone in terms of how well they handle with a controller though. Divinity Original Sin 2 is still dark, but not as in your face about it.

Other terms that have similar battles (but generally more closed maps) are tactical RPGs, strategy RPGs, turn based tactics or turn based strategy. I can’t break down the lines between any of those sub-genres, but they’re all kind of in the neighborhood. A lot of them are also dark, though.

I use mouse and keyboard, so I don’t need to worry about console support. Thanks for the suggestions!

@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

Pillars of Eternity 1&2? (only 2 has turn based combat) They’re free* on gamepass if you got it. Don’t play the console versions of 2.

Waxytongue,

Why don’t play on console?

The port wasn’t handled in-house and it’s not very good. Constant crashes, bad performance, minute long load times.

INHALE_VEGETABLES,

Tyranny is also sweet

Zahille7, do games w What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

Any “cozy” game. Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, others like those.

One that I personally really like, that sort of blends different aspects of AC and SV, is Paleo Pines. You have a ranch that you little by little clear out, fix up, and decorate; all with the help of adorable dinosaur friends. There’s actually a surprising number of species and map space in the game, and the vibe and aesthetic are ridiculously cute. I will say it’s slightly more laid back than SV as there are no real timers for the different quests and such, and there are fewer characters to keep track of/befriend.

Mass Effect

rambaroo,

How does mass effect have even remotely similar mechanics to bg3? The dialogue is it

drdiddlybadger, do games w What game do you recommend someone who likes the mechanics but not the setting of Baldur's Gate 3?

Planescape Torment, the shadow run series of games as well.
