I personally enjoy Brok the Investigator, if you don’t mind beat-em-up mixed in with your story. Has multiple endings, every single area has 3 hidden collectables that act as hints in case you get stuck, and is available on console (ps4/5, xbox one and series s/x, switch) if you don’t feel like playing on PC.
You play the first chapter as a detective alligator (Brok) who has a new case to solve. Starting chapter 2, you gain access to switch between him and his cat son (Graff). Depending on your actions, you get the different endings. To make things easier on getting different endings, you can load yourself in at specific chapters, too.
Have you tried Resonance? It's a mystery adventure game set in modern times where you play as four different characters whose stories interconnect. It's been a while since I played it (a decade or so?) but I remember that it had an interesting game mechanic that let you use memories like items in various interactions, as well as a number of puzzles that I rather liked the design of.
Oh! Can’t believe I forgot, but you should also play Under a Killing Moon, and then when you’re done and completely in love with it, move on to The Pandora Directive, Tex Murphy: Overseer, and Tesla Effect. They’re a series of hilarious retro-sci-fi gumshoe detective comedy puzzle adventures. It’s like Maltese Falcon, Blade Runner, the X-Files, and Young Frankenstein got put in a blender. They’re amazing.
i will never not simp for shiv silent. easily my favorite way to play. wonderful game.
i like to play what I call A20EZ cuz I’m not the best at the game: play A20 on custom, with sealed draft, vintage and the ending modifiers. it’s very fun to just start with a strong deck and get tons of relics!
it also feels like it teaches me what is actually strong in terms of raw card synergy, which has been very nice for learning how to get better at the game without suffering through being bad at the game as much.
I suck at the game, so winning isn’t an option for me. But I really like either going poison or daggers for the skull wearing guy. I haven’t even bothered with ascension as I’m still trying to do the keys thing while beating a run with a single character.
I’d say the closest I’ve played to Slay the Spire’s “pick a path” style deck builder would be Peglin and One More Gate. Peglin is definitely a lot closer to Slay the Spire as you start off a blank slate every run (minus custom mode), whereas One More Gate is, so far, you do a run, come back to the hub area, buy/sell cards/upgrades, do another run to get slightly further.
Pretty much the only other deck builders I have are ones where you don’t get to choose where you go next and go from battle to battle without any path choices or chance based event areas (Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate and Ardor).
first skyrim run in like a decade, really makes it obvious how technically shitty the game is. so many immersion-ruining moments all the time, like people talking over each other. also the world map screen might be the most ugly and least useful of its kind. if i was on pc i’d install the mod that displays roads on the map.
I really struggle to stay alive, I find I am always having to heal and spend resources on staying alive instead of attacking. Are you guys that are making successful runs constantly defending???
I also seem to end up with the same problem. I either defend too much or die attacking and it’s annoying. I can’t seem to ever find a middle ground that works. I swear all my runs I’ve run are just flukes.
It really does seem like they’re just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
Zero direction. Benefit of that? Pure chaos. As a Junk main (when I DPS, which isn’t as often as it used to be), the lack of direction and wildly inconsistent game design speaks to me on an emotional level.
As usual, it’s more enjoyable when you don’t take it even remotely seriously and just fuck around. Turns out you can ironically accomplish more when you’re not putting yourself and/or everyone else under pressure. Gives you incentive to experiment and pull off some weirdly effective shit that usually only works once, but still feels great anyway.
Win? Laugh. Lose? Laugh. It’s not that serious.
I’ll get sick of it soon and the toxicity will rear its head at some point, but right now I’m enjoying it for what it is, even if the game is an absolute shell of what it used to be.
Edit: Lol, already got sick of it again, so ditching that now.
