Neverwinter Nights (the first one) and Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and 4). They’re just so comfortable for me to play so I just start them up when I’m to stressed out to play anything new.

Tetris. Always Tetris. Tetris connected is the best iteration so far. The music and visuals are amazing.

You might like Remnant or Remnant 2, I think.

Berttheduck,

Not sure it fits as it’s souls with guns, so missing the spectacle fighter element, but it’s definitely worth a look. They are both excellent games. I love the core loop they’ve got, the shooting feels excellent.

Maybe Devil May Cry games, or Bayonetta?

flashgnash,

I’ve tried devil may cry 5 and I think the first one, neither really got me. I should probably try 5 again because I’ve only played one of the characters though

Just didn’t get on with the whole disposable mechanical arm thing, didn’t like that my abilities kept changing up on me out of my control

muhyb,

5 is the only one I haven’t played yet so cannot really make a comment there, but you can check the older ones like HD collection. It has the first three games.

By the way I didn’t mention earlier but Ys series with nightmare difficulty could be a nice action for you. They have a boss-rush mode where you only fight the bosses.

Berttheduck,

On this sort of line maybe Metal Gear Rising Revengence could be worth a look.

Binding of Isaac for sure. Been playing on and off since I was in high school and there is just so much content there and new crazy synergies to find. Across all platforms I have well over a thousand hours. Hoping I can 100% it some day!

Berttheduck, do gaming w Flashy, simple souls like?

Check out Furi.

It’s a flashy boss rush style game. A bit bullet hell a bit brawler. Might scratch that itch for you.

You could also try Sifu, it’s got really slick skill based combat and interesting bosses.

flashgnash,

Furi looks like exactly my kind of game. I will have to to give it a go, thank you for the suggestion

This was my first thought as well! Good call.

Fallout 4 and FO:NV

Civ VI

The entire Myst series, Obduction (haven’t played Firmament yet)

Ultima VII, Ultima Underworld, Ultima Underworld II

Beneath a Steel Sky, Beyond a Steel Sky

Ooh, Under a Steel Sky. I've been in the mood to play one of those old ScummVM games. How is that one?

gregorum,

Great story. It’s on GOG. Beyond a Steel Sky is the sequel, released a few years ago. Kinda sad, but really great, too. Made by the creators of the original from the 90s, and has an in-game commentary track!

Under a steel sky

Is there a third game in the series I’m not aware of or did you mean Beneath a steel sky?

gregorum,

I did mean that. Fixed

Any NSFW game that begs you for money to progress without grind

Not out yet, but coming very soon, Another Crab’s Treasure (Check the release date trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEaLBYS6YMw ).

Of course, since it’s not out, we can’t say if it’ll be a good game or not, but it looks good, and is a colourful looking soulslike. (Which I am looking forward to myself)

med, do gaming w Flashy, simple souls like?

The only soulslike that’s reasonably flashy yet simple enough that comes to mind is Code Vein

It’s slightly more cartoony than black desert, but has a high degree of character customization.

Story’s fine, but not required.

Combat was cool. I found it fine even on a bluetooth controller. Didn’t get massively frustrated with input lag.

Character builds can vary quite a lot, and are mostly viable. I played a glass cannon and my friend played a tank. They worked just fine alone or together. On that note, the coop is serviceable.

store.steampowered.com/app/678960/CODE_VEIN/

Probably wait for a discount.

flashgnash,

I’ve got code vein, got a fair way through it before my co op buddy bailed and then I didn’t pick it back up again

It is a little on the cartooney side as you say but it is cool looking

apotheotic, do gaming w Flashy, simple souls like?

It might scratch the itch you’re talking about, and it’s also one of the greatest games of all time:

Tunic

i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

I was going to mention this! I don’t think it meets the criteria completely, but it is quite Souls-like in many aspects.

shapesandstuff, do gaming w Flashy, simple souls like?

Might not fit exactly but check out Titan Souls

flashgnash,

Titan souls looks awesome and I may well give that a try, not sure it scratches the same itch as 3d souls likes though

For me,

  • half life 1 and 2
  • portal 1 but not 2
  • psychonauts 1 and 2

They’re like chicken soup. So good.

geekwithsoul,

Just curious as why not Portal 2? That’s honestly one of my “chicken soup” comfort food games - Portal 1 is great but to me, Portal 2 is so much more.

perishthethought,
@perishthethought@lemm.ee avatar

I think it’s the length, is all. Tough to commit to all that again now. It is great, for sure. We reference it in quotes all the time around my house.

smeg,

Portal 2 is definitely the one I pick up regularly, but specifically for the Perpetual Testing Initiative. I’ve already played the main story enough times, but dropping in for a few really well-made user-created levels with a little bit of new Cave Johnson dialogue is great!

bungle_in_the_jungle, do gaming w Flashy, simple souls like?

Not sure exactly how much this fits the bill for you but Kena: Bridge of Spirits may be what you’re looking for. I personally describe it as a Pixar game with Souls-ish combat.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

What about its combat is souls-ish?

I mean I love Kena, but it’s more a game comparable to other classical action-adventures such as the Zelda games, not Dark Souls as it places very little focus on accurate dodging and judging when not to dodge, plus it has no gameplay loop built around repeated death.

flashgnash,

I have tried out kena, it never really hooked me for some reason. Cool looking game, I like the art style

I think part of it was it felt very soft and family friendly, as you say it’s a lot like a Pixar movie

espiritu_p, (edited ) do gaming w Need android game recommendations

I want to add OpenTTD and Battle for Polytopia to the list.
OpenTTD is a free as free can be transport simulation. You have to get used to the controls, but I had some fun with it on my android tablet. Although I prefer to play it on PC.
Battle for Polytopia is a Civilization style game with awesome Voxel graphic for mobile devices. One game in standard mode lasts about an hour. It is free2play in a way that you get the game and the first 3 civilizations for free and can buy additional ones for a small fee. Offline playing is possible and I've never seen any ads in it.

Oh, and of course try Gwent.
This is a CCG in the world of The Witcher - known from the books, the games and of course the Netflix series too.
It's free to play, and very generous to free players. No ads, no pay2win, and you gain ressources to craft your cards very fast.
If you want to see some gameplay: I am streaming it every wednesday on Twitch.
