Brok The Investigator. There are multiple endings, but each different ending has a linear enough progression, even if the first time you have no clue as to what ending you’ll get. The only thing you need to do for different endings is making different choices.

Simple enough game set in a world where the poor, slummers, live in the polluted, rundown slums while the rich, drummers, live under the high quality dome. You play as a crocodile (alligator?) who is a detective, a slummer named Brok who lives with his teenage cat son Graff. Not saying much more because spoilers, even though the drummer and slummer and the polluted world thing are kinda minor spoilers despite learning about them real quick in chapter 1.

The occasional puzzles aren’t too hard to figure out, at least I thought so for all but one. And if you don’t like the combat mode, I’m pretty sure there is a way to turn it off, though I’m not sure how it affects gameplay/choices. Though, the upcoming DLC (whenever it releases) doesn’t look like it’s gonna be linear since it’s all about the games combat system and adding bonus challenges to fights. So I’d probably avoid that if you aren’t playing the game for the combat.

People listed Mirrors Edge, and I would like to also recommend it. It might take some time to adjust to the controls but it’s fun! I replay it a lot. I’ve lost count but I’ve been replaying it since release.

Titanfall 2 was a fun campaign. Also cool movement mechanics.

One game that I think got average ish scores but I enjoyed was Pneuma: Breath of Life. Idk why but I thought the puzzles were kinda fun and it was pretty enough.

The Stanley Parable

Catherine

(Kinda visual novel ish) AI Somnium files was fun.

Arcadium 1 is about as linear as it gets. Its kind of like that game Aero Fighter from the 90s, mixed with Space Invaders. Just shoot the aliens and dodge their shots. On the way, there are gems and power ups that can make your future forays more rewarding.

This is a mobile game – it’s available on iOS and Android.

LittleTarsier, do gaming w Fallout 4 is a great game with big flaws

I played Fallout 4 when it first came out and wasn’t super impressed. I beat the game but never went back to it, unlike New Vegas, which I’ve replayed many times. Perhaps I’ll look into mods and give it another shot.

That’s what I did. Played it once with no DLCs on release, then ignored it. But with mods it’s actually much better. And if you like the difficulty of New Vegas, the extended mod pack I used helped a lot with that.

I really missed the grit and dark tone of new Vegas and while it doesn’t live up to that, mods get it much closer.

A Plague Tale is a great one

blindsight,

For visual novels, it depends how you play them. If you’re happy with getting a single story/ending, then yeah. But if you want to 100% them, then there’s a lot of backtracking.

caut_R, do games w 66 hours in, i made a factory that makes 25 motors per minute. [Satisfactory]

I‘ll never be able to build stuff like that lol

Blisterexe,

sure you could! its not as complicated as it looks

orca, do gaming w Recommend me your favorite linear games!

I liked The Messenger a lot.

TehPers,

Same devs also made Sea of Stars. I found it to be pretty fun.

orca,

I actually found The Messenger after completing Sea of Stars and being so invested in it. I looked the devs up and decided I’d buy all of their stuff.

Restarted Satisfactory 1.0. there are rough bumps, but it’s a fairly well paced game and runs well

strongarm, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 13th

Started the new D4 season, I don’t have the expansion.

This is my second season and my second character, I went with a summoner Necromancer this time, I also skipped the Campaign and went straight to end-game.

I have to say I really find it quite boring.

I’m also getting stuck into Monster Hunter Rise, just passed 5 star missions, I’m playing with Great Sword and I’m enjoying the challenge, I think I’m beginning to understand what MH is all about now.

I’m playing Metaphor ReFantazio. I’ve played the first 15 hours and it seems really good.

It feels a lot like fantasy persona with smt combat (which is good because I always felt like turn press was more fun than one more). The new job system is interesting, and fights are challenging enough (on hard).

Story and setting started off strong, so I’m curious to see how it goes.

ConstableJelly,

I played the demo up to the first couple battles just to get a taste of how that works. No question, I am very excited to get my hands on it. I’m generally a sub-$20 patient gamer, but this is one I’ll be getting sooner. I’ll still probably wait for the holiday season to see if it drops down at all because I’ve got plenty to keep me busy in the meantime.

Market economy baby, let the best game win.

OfficerBribe, do games w Suggestions? Games that won't make me feel alone?

The Book of Unwritten Tales comes to mind. It’s nowhere near as grandiose as any of your described games, but I fondly remember it being a very charming and wholesome experience. If that’s the feeling you seek, you might enjoy it.

Shitpost level reply: Any of the Gradius games.

One of the power ups you can buy is literally to dispense friends (options) which follow you around and shoot alongside you. You can crank out as many as you want, at least within reason. And in some of the Parodius games they are literally little dudes. Or depending on your character, little octopi, cats, or penguins.
