Why? Split d-pads are shit.

Any of the Naughty Dog games fulfill this criteria, especially the Uncharted games. They are mostly linear, all about exploration and combat, and very little fluff.

Indiana Jones & The Great Circle is pretty good too. You don’t unlock skills or abilities through experience but rather through finding books throughout the maps. The maps themselves are not too large and worth exploring.

I mean, if you’ve enjoyed Skyrim, honestly you can just google “best RPGs of all time” and play any that will show up. I’m gonna go against the grain here and say that Skyrim’s world is beautiful and the combat is cool but there’s nothing special about the story or the quests. Try enderall, fallout London, gothic 1+2 + archolos, mass effect 1-3, disco Elysium, Witcher 1-3, Baldur’s Gate 1-3, Neverwinter nights 1+2, dragon age origins, fallout new Vegas, pillars of eternity1+2, Kotor 1+2, south park stick of truth + fractured butthole, cyberpunk, fable the lost chapters, divinity original sin 1+2, dark messiah of might and magic(fun and underrated, imo), etc.

If at any point you feel like the combat is too hard or whatever you can use cheats and just enjoy the story. All of these have pretty good ones. At least all of these have less grinding and better story than Pokemon games, in my experience.

Beyond that, just go for popular, widely acclaimed games such as rdr2, bioshock, whichever doom you want, portal 1+2, etc.

gccalvin,

+1 for Enderal

RightHandOfIkaros,

Definitely don’t recommend Enderal. OP mentioned they didn’t want a game with difficulty spikes, and Enderal is pretty notorious for difficulty spiking. Playing Enderal on Normal difficulty is like playing Skyrim on Hard.

It might be okay on its own, but it’s not what OP is looking for.

nyctre,

Yeah, that’s fair, had forgotten about that. Then again, that’s one of the games where cheats can make it playable.

Trail,

Planescape Torment.

nyctre,

Definitely. Thought I put it there, but guess not.

zerofk,

A “best RPGs of all time” list will inevitably include Baldur’s Gate 2, and likely other Infinity Engine games, most of which are definitely not games without difficulty spikes or required side content.

nyctre,

Which is why I suggested using cheats to make the game easier.

If you’re just looking for thumbsticks at the bottom together, 8bitdo has some options.

Just started playing the indiana jones game, for fans of the movies its a love letter to them and a great game

Bieren,

One of the best games I’ve played in a while. Is it a technical masterpiece that will go down in history for anything, no. Is it fun af, yes. Can’t wait for the dlc.

Dyskolos, do games w (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)?

Trying to list some I haven’t already read here:

Len’s Island. Will even be released the next days.

Everafter Falls

Necesse (also releasing soon)

Palworld

Enshrouded

While some might not be “chill farming” only, they could be set (or modded) to nearly no danger. Actually most (more recent) survival-games could be played that way. I do 😁

If just chill is mandatory:

Farming Together (or alone, part two also incoming)

MojoMcJojo,

Enshrpuded is a great suggestion. You can ignore quests unless you want to expand your plot. Just pick a plot of land and start farming. Go out into the wild to find new stuff to plant. Unfortunately there’s not much to do with your harvest except to make provisions to go play the rest of the game, but that’s how you find more things to plant. I had a great time designing the layout of my crops.

    It looks like you’ve replied to the wrong post. There’s a post in !asklemmy about a Luigi t-shirt 👍

    Treczoks,

    Thanks. I moved it to the right spot. Congrats on finding out where it actually belonged from the few clues!

    Tippon,

    No worries :)

    Besides, it was the luck of the feed. The t-shirt post was only two posts above this one when I was browsing :)

    Raft was kind of interesting, and chill if you turn off "sharks keep attacking for some reason" mode.

    I watched someone play Satisfactory and they had a blast.

    Dinkum was fun and not stressful, but the characters have big heads and it's got some typical farming life sim elements that were inspired by harvest moon and animal crossing.

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

    The Wolf Among Us, and I imagine other Telltale games (but that’s the only one I played so far). It felt a lot like Life is Strange in gameplay and storytelling, even though it’s also a lot different.

    In a similar vein, point and click adventure games like The Whispered World, The Book of Unwritten Tales, or Syberia. The modern ones usually don’t have a failure state (as opposed to the infamous Sierra games), but unlike LiS you may get stuck on a puzzle.

    The dualshock 4 & 5 have built in bluetooth if you have one of those avaliable.

    No judgement, addiction is a serious thing but…

    I also realise I’m giving a lot of time to games that, if only I could manage my time better I could give to much more worthwhile things, like helping people out in the world. So a month ago a few life circumstances came together, and I’ve signed up for a new education course. Rather than cope with all the new stresses of that at the same time as possible gaming withdrawal symptoms, I figured I’d give up the games completely, a month early. (And doomscrolling too, but that’s proving harder… proving it’s also addictive to me more than I wanted to admit!)

    This doesn’t strike me as a healthy perspective on yourself

    My point isn’t to refute your concern for your addictive tendencies with regards to video games but rather to gravely warn you that your fear and self doubt (which are valid) will be preyed on by a whole cottage industry of shitty people selling you fake solutions until you learn the actual science with regards to humans and games (digital or not) from people like Dr. Rachel Kowert.

    Zaleramancer,

    Very interesting resource. I found her video presentation about online gaming very informative and delightfully fair.

    Have you tried sandbox-like games, or just games that basically have no story line? Or is the more “adventuring” type of gameplay the one you enjoy the most? Personally I seem to find most games kinda boring outside puzzlegames and sandbox-things, since the typical stuff always has at least some form of grinding and I don’t really like fighting either.

    mrmorganiser, do games w (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)?

    Maybe try peachleaf pirates.

    It’s a lot like stardew valley. And less than $2 in the sale. It might be a bit more puzzle game in places. Probably best to read some reviews before you buy.

    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 :-)

    FF16 is not an incredible game. But it sure is easy to button mash your way to a win, especially considering how good some of the trinkets are (acquired at start of the game). The music is solid, the writing is interesting enough, and the visuals are great, provided you can run it well.

    gt5,

    I did not like it at all. I thought the writing was bad, the cut scenes dragged on for way too long, and the characters and the world were uninteresting
