I bought that game day one, actually played like the first 4 missions, thought to myself “Wow, this is going to be incredible! I should wait until I have a loong weekend, hehe~”, and then never touched it again.
I am glacially making my way through the first 4 now, though.
I feel this. In some ways it was a relief discovering that I didn’t need to keep up with gaming anymore. I would just play what I want want to play, when. But unfortunately I’ve missed (or even forgotten) about a lot of games I really wanted to play.
Tbh, no. I suck at like 90% of games, just genuinely not good at them. I excel in soulslikes, you really won’t know how difficult it is for you until you try it. I think the games are built in a way where, should you use all the games mechanics, they are relatively easy but if you don’t use all the mechanics they can get hard
I would say that a lot of these unforgiving action RPGs are complete-able and enjoyable by most everyone, but I should give a caution that if you’re disabled in the hands, things will be substantially less forgiving.
I’ve got hemiplegic cerebral palsy from a pair of strokes, and as a result, the right side of my body, specifically my fine motor control of the right side of my body, is utter garbage. I can’t get through Bloodborne or most Souls games. The exception was Elden Ring, because it made ranged combat viable in such a way that any need for twitchy gameplay was substantially reduced.
Bloodborne is among the most difficult in the genre, and if you’re looking to broach this sort of game, I’d recommend Elden Ring first. It’s got the same learning aspects, but it allows for more creativity and thought in the moment.
I’m seeing a lot of comments recommending Elden Ring. I guess I’ll have to try it now. I’m sorry to hear about the cerebral palsy. I’m glad it doesn’t stop you from gaming.
What did you think about Elden Ring? I’ve heard it’s a masterpiece. I don’t usually play these types of games anyway so I’m sort of in the dark. Thank you!
First, Elden Ring has Miriel, Pastor of Vows, and he is the bestest boy.
Also with the exception of one single boss fight, I was able to overcome everything in Elden Ring with persistence and learning, and sometimes I would get frustrated in a locale, and just leave and go do other things in the land. Other linear souls games don’t really let you stray from the beaten path until you’ve added your beats to it as well.
Elden Ring is just a really solid intro to the format.
Even though they’re not traditional shooters, the Ratchet and Clank games are really fun. There’s a pretty big genre difference in the games in the franchise, with generally the earlier games being more platform-ey, especially 1 & 2. A lot of the humor from the original trilogy still holds up today.
There’s definitely some “unfun” parts in the games (giant mech fight from rac2 and the hacker from rac3 come to mind) but overall cozy imo. Some of the most unique and fun guns in any game.
If you’re looking for strictly more shooter, check out Ratchet Deadlocked. There’s barely any platforming and no mini games that I can remember, it’s pretty much all shooting. NG+ makes it super cozy. It’s really nice to play emulated.
I haven’t played it yet, but my friend that’s played the originally and generally likes the Silent Hill franchise says it’s great. It apparently lives up to the hype.
Give GUN JAM a try. It’s a rhythm shooting game, the stakes are as high or as low as you want them. There’s only a minimal story and you just focus on the music, aiming and staying on the beat. Can be a lot of flow state fun.
I do have a recommendation for a cozy FPS: The Signal from Tolva.
Basically you're a robot in an old robot battlefield planet and you've got to shoot other robots, sometimes team up with other robots and go around getting upgrades.
The coziness comes from the environment, which has some strong outworldliness vibe and it feels slightly lonely but in a "journey" way.
Plus the guns feel good and it's probably really cheap right now.
The cons is that the game doesn't feel finished, after a while it gets repetitive and then it just ends.
If I had to describe it, I would say it's an FPS+walking simulator.
"Generation Zero" would be my second recommendation, which is a mixture of Red Dawn, Swedish 80s and big robots.
Note: I haven't played them except for the 2nd entry, but the Far Cry series feels like it is a mixture between FPS and holiday island.
