I’ve been on a 3D platformer binge.

Just finished Castle on the Coast and was pleasantly surprised. It starts off feeling a little janky, but after the first 30-60 minutes realize it’s intentional and you are a silly giraffe parkour GOD. Some later levels get into abstract platforming and refreshingly different mechanics than I’ve experienced before. Worth checking out if you’re a 3D platformer-head.

Currently playing through Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Never played any of them before, but always wanted to. Just finished the first one and it was quite fun, although I did not like the final boss. There should have been a checkpoint after the first phase (2 keys phase). Looking forward to finding out how they developed the mechanics from there in 2 and 3.

Telorand,

Thanks for the rec! I have Castle on the Coast, but it’s been low on my “play later” list. I’ll move it up!

I absolutely love the combat in FF7R.

It also took a bit for it to click in my head. I'm not sure exactly when ... but once it did, there was no going back for me.

I know it’s not what you asked for but i think you would enjoy the doom games, specifically eternal but 2016 is also great.

It has great campaign, great music, arguably the best combat system in a shooter game, it’s highly replayable, 20€ with all the dlcs when on sale and when played on higher difficulties it becomes extremly technical.

It also has a multiplayer mode but i don’t know too much about it

0li0li,

Oh, don’t worry, I think 2016 and DE are the best boomer shooters ever made, and play most other shooters to their music (I’ve been a fan of djent since Chaosphere).

slamphear,

Wasn’t expecting to see this here, but same! I got into Meshuggah shortly after Chaosphere came out, and they’re my favorite band of all time over 25 years later.

Not human NPCs but Hunt Showdown 1896 has the best gunplay in any shooter I’ve ever played, not even close.

0li0li,

Oh yeah? Interesting!

That’s PvPvE only right, or is there offline PvE for loners too?

xactoman,

nah unfortunately but i still recommend, game is a rush

It’s so interesting that the Roche fight is where you felt the combat click, because it was the exact same for me! The game got waaaay more enjoyable once that happened, haha.

I know people dog on the remake for not being the OG/overpriced/a scam/whatever, but I really enjoyed my play through.

Maybe it’s because it felt very 1-2? Like, he has a pattern for his attacks I felt like so that helped it click

W temacie polecam m.youtube.com/watch?v=8yQ6360y2XY

i również będę obserwował ten wątek, ciekaw poleceń.

Ponoć certyfikat FairTrade jest niewiele wart.

Evotech, (edited ) do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

The finals is great.

They have a bot mode

0li0li,

You don’t say! Online only tho right?

Evotech,

Yeah, seems like the bot part if only in a practice arena for now. Rest of the game is online PvP

But it’s very fun

A bit of googling and [here it is](Hasang A/885 — Google Arts & Culture share.google/WQf5YFNiVuWpLQOes)

“A-885 ‘Hasang’ — Smallest steam locomotive ever used in Indian sub-continent. Built by W.G. Bagnall Ltd, Castle Engg Works, Stafford, UK, in the year 1897. This 0-4-0 narrow-gauge locomotive spent its working life in the Ledo Coal Mines in Assam”

a little crazy

Patches, do games w Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.

Has the accessibility improved in the decade plus?

The game always wanted me to always know the color weakness of the enemy as a hard requirement, and I physically cannot do that. I am color blind.

I wanted to like it, I tried using a color changing overlay, I tried using tape on the screen to assist. No cigar.

Escape From Tarkov.

It’s been in beta for 10 years but 1.0 is coming out 15/11/2025

90% sure you will be able to buy it on steam when that happens

Nibodhika,

Like MurrayL@lemmy.world said in other comment:

Purchasing Escape from Tarkov directly supports Russia’s war in Ukraine

DioramaOfShit,

Why bring politics into gaming? It’s a good game. Acting like not buying the video game is going to bankrupt the Kremlin is pure ignorance. If you’re a us citizen you are directly supporting multiple wars every time you pay taxes so big fuckin deal.

Nibodhika,

I’m not a us citizen, and there’s a big difference between the government uses my taxes for war to a game will use my money for war. You have no choice over the taxes, but by knowing this and still buying the game, you’re saying that your hours of entertainment are more valuable than people’s lives. And yeah, not buying the game won’t bankrupt the Kremlin, but it’s like throwing gasoline to a fire, you’re fueling the war, imagine someone whose house is on fire and throws gasoline in it because “the fire won’t extinguish if I stop throwing gasoline in it”

Find a popular multiplayer shooter that you like and play that.

You’re not going to get any sort of “deep gunplay” against bots, no matter the game. The technology just isn’t there yet. Sorry but you’re going to have to put up with humans if you want a good, deep experience that doesn’t become repetitive and predictable.

0li0li,

You are not wrong about bots, but by deep gunplay, I mean gun mechanics, like planetside 2’s or CS.

Things like this:

Psythik,

Oh okay.

Carry on, then.

Starski, do games w Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans

I honestly might recommend escape from tarkov, it’s just that I honestly don’t respect the devs very much. But it’s a very good game, you can play on PvE mode so no need to worry about timezones or anything like that. It has a incredibly in depth gun system since its pretty much just real gun mechanics, and I honestly love that about the game, it has taught me so much about guns and their attachments. The one thing is that it can have a low time to kill, but there’s an in depth armor mechanic to the game that can change that. On top of all that, it’s an extraction shooter, which conceptually is literally just an fps roguelite. Just a warning, it doesn’t allow Linux users if you are one, even for PvE mode, but there’s a mod you can get called SPT(single player tarkov), and it allows you to play on Linux on top of allowing you to mod it further.

MurrayL,

Purchasing Escape from Tarkov directly supports Russia’s war in Ukraine

Starski,

I didn’t say I respected the developers, in fact I specifically said I didn’t respect them, I’m just saying that its a good game with similar gameplay mechanics to what op was looking for

MurrayL,

And I’m just providing additional context that might help them make an informed purchasing decision 👍

Nibodhika,

Thanks for this. I wasn’t planning on buying it anyways but now if I ever do want to play this I will sail the high seas before giving them a penny.

If you like r6 siege’s terrorist hunt, perhaps you will like Ready or Not.

Or you can look for older games like SWAT 4 on gog.com.
