No notepad, but an excellent explorative puzzle that had me making and remaking theories the whole time: outer wilds. Several people also mentioned obra dinn
So, so many. You're going to have to narrow it down a bit. Vagante is a great challenging roguelike platformer that's equal parts Spelunky and Dark Souls. There are recommendations for Factorio and Civilization here, which I wholeheartedly endorse. Mercenary Kings has minimal act break cut-scenes that are pretty short, but the gameplay loop is Mega Man crossed with Monster Hunter, and it works really well. Streets of Rogue is a highly systemic roguelike that really lets you go nuts with the sandbox, and it's got a great sense of humor at that.
As a bonus, all of those games are also fantastic to play co-op.
This is such a hard question to answer without more information. There are a literal ton of mechanically good games with minimal/no story across a massive variety of genres. What are you into? Surely your interests run deeper than “don’t make me read, don’t show me a movie”.
I’d start to look into rogue-lites; games that kill you rapidly are less inclined to lore-dump before they get to it, instead either hiding the story around the game world, or giving you snippets between runs. Dead Cells, Bullets Per Minute, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Rogue Legacy, Into the Breach, Enter the Gungeon. That should cover a wide birth of genres, anyway.
Be more specific and we can give you far better recommendations.
Rogue-lites are probably a good suggestion, considering I played and enjoyed Bullets Per Minute and Rogue Legacy. Also Dead Cells is probably one of my favourite. If there’s at least some form of progression then I think I’ll like it so I’ll look into the others you mentioned. Thanks.
If you liked Bullets Per Minute, pick up Metal: Hellsinger. Not a roguelite, but a very well-structured single-player story-minimal (~10-15 second voiced introductions to each level, occasionally a 1-2 minute, voiced cutscene between stages) game. It’s more like Doom - set arenas, with set encounters across varying difficulties - with a more refined, BPM-style “shoot on the beat” system. And it sports an insanely good original soundtrack with guest vocalists from across the spectrum of metal.
The gameplay loop uses getting to interact with the characters and to advance the various subplots as part of your reward/consolation at the end of each run. I’d call that story-heavy.
Is there a particular genre? I dont pay attention to most game stories. Some of these suggestions have an online mode but ive only played single player.
age of empires 4 (1v1 against ai), 7days to die, vampire survivors, valheim.
I mostly play action games of any kind really. But will try games outside of that too, for example card games, or some strategies. But generally I prefer more action oriented games.
I just discovered this game this past weekend and it is sooo good. I wanted a fairly mindless “kill a bunch of guys and keep my hand busy” type of game, and that’s exactly what I got.
