Beegzoidberg, do gaming w Where are all the good stealth games?

I need to add to the dishonored pile here. Deathloop is a much more doom-able game. Dishonored can be played in a fast way, but you can play the entire game with killing anyone, or being seen by anyone, or both. I highly recommend it, they scratch the itch.

Adding onto that, Dishonored 2 feels way more fun when playing non-lethal. Dishonored 1 kind of handicaps you if you decide not to kill enemies, whereas Dishonored 2 gives you a few more Options.

Both are incredible games though, definitely worth playing.

NightmareQueenJune,

Yes, Dishonored is really fun. Having a good saving system (with quick save and load) makes it even better. I love to have the option to just fool around.

    +1 for Mark of the Ninja. The gameplay is so polished, great art direction, and simple but satisfying. It is a staple Klei Entertainment game. Not to mention the good story, at least as I remember. It’s not a new game, released originally in 2012, however there’s a remastered version on Steam.

    I’m really intrigued by this! How long do you need to play for it to feel “meaningful.” I find with a lot of MMOs, I need a few hours to really get into it.

    liminis,

    I’m still playing through it, but was really impressed at how much emotion it so far has managed to wordlessly convey. Definitely a special game.

    @ArtVandelay@beehaw.org avatar

    Well, never meet your heroes… Or just never look up cult classics… I was going to recommend a little “game” I enjoyed, then I went around looking if there was an updated version… Turns out the creator decided to make some NFT crap based on it. What a disappointment.

    This reads like dialogue written for the “pretentious writer” friend character trope who is always shitting on other peoples’ work but hasn’t ever had any success with his own in every B-list Hollywood meta comedy: smug, confident, completely wrong, and utterly without purpose or substance.

    Helluh, do games w (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)?
    @Helluh@lemmy.world avatar

    Seconding Graveyard Keeper and Traveler’s Rest.

    I would also like to recommend Schedule I. It’s not exactly a farming game, but there is farming, and it has a similar chill vibe.

    Farming Simulator 25 is surprisingly very fun, but the time it takes to complete work can be draining.

    Palia is free, and the actual farming portion is super neat with the way crops interact with each other based on placement, though it might be too cute.

    Apico is bee farming, so slightly different. The creator is making a similar game with frogs.

    Staxel isn’t exactly anime but might not be your style either, I adored it, but it makes me motion sick to play.

    @ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org avatar

    Oh boy, I had the same issue with Staxel and I don’t get it… why? This annoyed me way more than I expected

    Dyskolos,

    Might be a slightly off (unchangeable) FoV. I, too, could not play this one very long.

    ComfortableRaspberry,
    @ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org avatar

    This is sad. For the same reason I can’t play Half Life 2, Portal and Talos Principle >.<

    Dyskolos,

    But in those you CAN most definately change the FoV. Usually you need to just try out your optimal in regard to monitor-size and resolution. Staxel had no option for that as far as i remember. When you found your FoV your nausea/motion-sickness should be gone for good. At least this is the culprit in most of the cases and some devs still haven’t learned :-)

    NuXCOM_90Percent, (edited ) do games w Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

    I would very much not trust a 7 year old with a 450 USD device but you do you.

    Honestly? If what you want is something to play “nintendo games” with the family? I would just go buy one of the pi-like devices or even go full sicko with an FPGA and then totally obviously legitimately purchase and rip every single game you want.

    But in all seriousness, a small raspberry pi-like device running ES-DE (fuck the hateful transphobic shithead behind Retroarch) is probably the genuine best choice for someone who wants to play the games of their youth without thinking much. AliExpress is nowhere near as good as it used to be but Retro Game Corps has reviewed a LOT of these kinds of devices over on youtube.

    And if you want the portability? You can buy two (there are plenty of gameboy-like devices in that space) and still come in way under the price of a switch 2. Which, again, seven year olds are stupid and destructive.

    Kyle_The_G, do games w What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?

    mass effect, cyberpunk, clair obscur, baldur’s gate 3 all super fun and have difficulty options. Doom is pretty fun too. I’ve just been ripping through game pass single-player campaigns and RPGs.

    Talaraine,

    All of these are top notch

    Kyle_The_G,

    Ya I’m a big single-player story-driven player. Other recommendations are red dead 2 (never played 1, I’d like to), lies of P, sekiro, elden ring, bloodborne, uncharted series, death stranding (I love this game but completely get why people bounce off it), alan wake 2 (also not for everyone), control, and I’ll always have a soft spot for halo 1-3+reach. Theres probably a bunch more i’m forgetting but I loved all of those games. I just love a really good story.

    I would describe Red Dead Redemption II as having significant fluff, not just in how much time it wastes getting from A to B a lot of times but also in that whole island chapter, Act 4, I think.

    Kyle_The_G,

    ya thats fair

    nyctre,

    Time spent riding during missions has never felt like fluff to me. As it’s usually filled up with dialogue and stuff. Plus the nature and views and stuff are relaxing.

    For the in-between missions riding you can just get one of those cheat menu mods and use the teleport feature.

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s the in between missions riding that I was referring to. The previous game was much more lenient about giving you opportunities to fast travel. Also, when I played the game, mods weren’t an option, and OP might be looking for Xbox games.

    nyctre,

    Oh, you’re right, I missed that part. Shit.

    dylanmorgan,

    Sekiro? I guess it’s less of a difficulty “spike” if it’s just a difficulty cliff from the jump.

    Kyle_The_G,

    these are my favourite games, thats why I put them in the second comment I realize they’re a little on the more difficult side. My bad I didn’t clarify.

    dylanmorgan,

    That’s fair, I may have been traumatized by spending 3 hours trying to get through the first section in Sekiro before calling it 😅

    Kyle_The_G,

    One thing i’ll say about sekiro is that it demands you learn “the dance”. You need to play the game on its terms and learn the rhythms, essentially you just need to “git gud” but it is absolutely worth it once it clicks. Its an incredible game once you finally get a feel for it.

    Fatal flaw is that 343 Industries sucked in comparison to Bungie, and released such shitty products that the player base has fallen through the floor.
