For me, I just finished pikmin 4 100%!!! I have now moved on to Jedi survivor, which I am having a lot of fun with.

I got it near launch, but it didn’t run super well. I am happy I waited as the game runs much smoother than it did when it came out

Oh man, that screenshot of Progress Quest gave me instant nostalgia

LoamImprovement,

Sigh.

Once more into the killing fields we go, friends.

I recently beat Antimatter Dimensions after coming back to the Reality update after a long while. There’s a lot of depth, especially in the new additions. I appreciate all the layers and addition of QoL upgrades.

Bitburner was fun as an incremental hacking sim. I haven’t played it for a while, but I find it really unique.

There’s also Orb of Creation which can be a bit grindy but also seems really fun for what it offers. I’ve been playing the demo version at marple.itch.io/orb-of-creation

Stillhart,

Just want to report that I’ve been hopelessly obsessed with BitBurner since I saw you recommend it over a month ago. Thanks!

It’s not a type of game I often play, but I enjoyed Kittens game a lot. And space plan, while not super long, was also really enjoyable

Stillhart,

+1 for Space Plan

I haven’t found/heard of a good, meaty new game in a while. Recetly I’ve dug back into Leaf Blower Revolution but like a lot of incremental games it eventually devolves into having very specific strategies or goals.

I have quite enjoyed Synergism in the past, as well as Wizard and Minion Idle and NGU.

Ace Combat 7 plays very well on SteamDeck too

My partner and I just finished the game a few weeks ago and were surprised at how good and memorable it is. There were like 5 times in that game where we were like “Wait, we’re not near the end?” and it was such a treat every time

HowlsSophie,

This game was FANTASTIC. Would definitely play a sequel if it came out.

Secret_Duck,

Exactly what I came here to say! The theme song is set as my ringtone and I get chills every time I get a call haha

Hundun,

The big finale with cracks in the screen always gets me crying pearl-sized tears. Even when watching someone else play, just can’t help it.

Also, the scene at the lost escape pod in Dark Bramble. Also, the inside of the Interloper. So many hard-hitting moments in this game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 - >!the death of Arthur Morgan!<

Tales from the Borderlands - >!Scooter’s sacrifice!<

Edit: can’t figure out how to use spoiler tags, oh well.

aksdb,

In RDR2: the scene with the horse (you know which) also hits hard.

MyHouse.wad. It’s astonishing that a fucking Doom level can do better environmental storytelling than most modern games. Don’t read much about it, just download it and play!

I also played Life is Strange: True Colors with my daughter and she was amazed at how a video game can just influence our emotions.

LeylaLove,

MyHouse.wad is definitely one of the better gaming moments from recent years. It reminded me a lot of imscared, and I’d consider that game to be secured in the top 100 games of all time. The environmental storytelling is top tier, and the natural unsettling nature is just great.

Life is Strange is also a great one. My little sister loves the series far more than me, but I also played Fahrenheit and The Walking Dead early in life, so I’d say I had high standards for those games. Would you say True Colors is worth checking out to someone that was lukewarm on the original? I love the style of game, but I’m not invested in the characters so it’d practically be my first introduction to the universe yk?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

True Colors is great. It’s a little bit more personal and smaller in scope than the first two. For myself the first one is still my favourite with True Colors as a close second. If you were annoyed by the teenage drama of the first one then you should like True Colors more.

But if you’re looking for traditional adventure puzzles you will be disappointed. There are barely any in this game. It’s a more or less linear story where your relationships are more important than solving the mystery.

LeylaLove, (edited )

Yeah the teenage drama was what took me out of it. I don’t need super good puzzles, The Walking Dead season 1 had the most ass puzzles I’ve ever played but it’s still one of the greatest stories I’ve ever played. Even with the objectively shitty gameplay of TWD, I got so fucking invested in those characters. I felt Clementine’s pain during the ending of season 1 and 2, that was close to being my pick. Thank you for the recommendation!

The hilarious thing about My house.wad is that if you go in without knowing anything about it there's a relatively high chance you just complete the level normally and think "that's it? weird that had so much hype"

The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.

Cavemanfreak,

I tried playing the third and fourth installment, but they couldn’t hold a candle to the second one imo.

Fourth? The last real Settlers was Settlers 2.

I love this thread, so many people are recommending games to each other. Nice to see.

My answer is games like Skyrim where it’s a sandbox but you can pick up different quests. I know there’s a proper name for them but it escapes me.

I know there’s GTA which is a similar type but I want a more twee fantasy vibe

HiT3k,

Open world RPG? They are probably the most common single player AAA experience released these days. Bethesda does work in a bit of “immersive sim” qualities to their games though, which is often what makes them feel so sand-boxy.

Sina, do gaming w What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

Shitty mobile gatcha games produce a lot of brain drain the gaming industry that’s for sure.

knokelmaat, do gaming w What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

Arcade / over the top racing games like Motorstorm and Split Second.

Wreck Fest is close but needs more crazy scenery or setpieces.

aerowave,

I absolutely loved Split Second!

wildderg,

Recently picked up ‘arf of rally’. It somewhat scratches that itch with it’s handling but eh…

There’s just the itch that hasn’t been scratched properly since Midnight Club 3 and Midnight Club Los Angeles.

Split/Second was such a great game.
