I was going to say diablo4 as well. Diablo1 and 2 were some of my favorite games in my youth, but I just don’t want to give blizzard any more money. Path of exile 1 and 2 are good for the same itch.
Also any console exclusives. Bloodborne? Would love to play. Not buying a console. New Zelda and Mario? Same.
I played it on steam deck about a year ago, and TBH it struggled. Though it’s probably been optimised better since, I think development is ongoing. Still the best driving game I’ve played.
Anything on PS5. I bought one thinking I’d catch up on whatever I’d missed since the PS1 days. Heard that that mushroom zombie game was good. Never started it. I just sit at the desk and play another round of CS2 deathmatch.
The first season of the show is pretty close to the first game… You might want to just skip to part 2 if you have limited time to play. It’s the better game imo.
One of the best narrative gaming experiences I’ve ever had in my life, and I wish I could erase the memory and experience it again for the first time. Season 2 of the show is only the first half of the second game.
The Ghost of Tshushima/Yotei games are also great. And of course, Bloodborne.
Not quite the same dillema, but I have a similar issue. I have many singleplayer games I know I want to finish, but when I start my vegout state, it often defaults to a few known multiplayer games, even knowing I’ve had many sessions that leave me infuriated.
However, I know that I’m in a precarious spot. With the brain damage I’ve already sustained, if I’m not pushing my brain as hard as I can, it’ll start falling apart.
Stellaris might be easier to grasp if you start with an earthbound Paradox game first like Victoria 3 or EU V. Not that they’re simple, but being a familiar map definitely helps.
That being said, I’m not going to pretend that I fully understand any of those games lol
A ton of PvP games that I can’t play because I’ll want to get good which means spending a ton of time then once I’m good I won’t want to play anything else. Counter strike, StarCraft.
always wanted to play Mortal Online for some reason, but quick searches seem to paint it in same light as so many other mmo’s…ruined by toxic other people
Hmm… I thought I knew what you mean, but you said MH and now I’m confused. Monster Hunter is mainly dodge and hit? I’m not an expert, but this is how I played World/Rise. How different were older MH games?
It’s less important in the newer games, since the monsters are less predictable and their attacks track a lot, and the hunters get parries or other options (in GU and Rise in particular), but you often need to position yourself defensively to preemptively avoid attacks and usually keep attacking. For example: the Rathian charge is instant, so you should keep to her side to avoid it and her other frontal attacks like the fireballs.
Pretty often you could just walk out of attacks if you knew they were coming.
Hmm… this is common in action games and soulslikes, I think: Arkham in Devil May Cry 3 and Centipede Demon in Dark Souls come to mind. Those fights are all about positioning.
I feel as if this is a common solution to large boss fights in most games with melee combat; whereas humanoid enemies can typically either quickly turn, do sweeping 360 attacks, or teleport behind you (oh hi Vergil) so it’s less about positioning and more about pattern recognition and quick reflexes.
That said, it’s possible I misunderstood what you mean because I haven’t played older MH games or Xenoblade.

I realize I’m being a bit too vague, as I’m not sure how to describe clearly what I’m thinking about.
You mentioned both DMC3 and Dark Souls and while I don’t remember very well either fight, I do think that DMC3-5 (and Bayonetta too sometimes) allow you to do what I’m thinking about with most bosses, while normal encounters I feel are more about crowd control. On the other hand, Dark Souls and the other soulslike I played feel more focused on reacting to attacks, like the newer MH games.
Immersive Sims: BioShock. Dishonored, Deus Ex… etc. I can’t do FPS, it’s so unnatural for me not to be able to see my character. I struggle to establish spatial relationships with anything else inside the game world, and I don’t find aiming fun at all.
To a lesser extent, yet for similar reasons, fast-paced action FPS like Doom. Looks super fun, but I can’t get over my fundamental issues with the genre.
Dyson Sphere Program. Played in early access few years ago. The game has changed a lot since, but with a toddler now I don’t think I’ll have the amount of time needed anytime soon, and by the time I have I’ll probably have something else
I get random friend requests from accounts in discord servers that I haven’t even viewed, let alone interacted in, for years - most have some sort of “live/laugh/love” bio blurb. Maybe I’m just an antisocial hermit at this point, but I ignore every single one.
In comparison, Steam seems a lot more genuine. You can always try suggesting discord for voice chat if you’re leery of installing an unknown program just for talking to that user.
