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.

Get the Switch OLED. The Switch 2 offers nothing for your family. You think they are going to care that Breath of the Wild is “only” 1080p?

For the cost of the Switch 2, you can get the OLED plus a library of games. If you haven’t already seen the OLED screen in person, it will blow you away. It makes the S2 screen look like a $200 Walmart TV from 2008

CmdrShepard49,

I have the OLED and have been mulling over getting the Switch 2 since games, to my knowledge, don’t appear to be developed for the Switch 1 any longer even though they’d probably work fine. It’s also weak as hell and regularly crashes when I try to play Minecraft with my kid, but I haven’t really bothered to look too hard at how much more performance you get out of the S2.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

I only finished it for the first time this year, after about 20 years of giving it a go, getting part way through, then forgetting about it. ADHD is evil. Still, it was fun, there were no long boring parts, nothing was grinding or luck based, and it felt really tight as an experience. Very well thought out, honestly I would consider it a masterpiece.

billbasher,

Have you played any other loz games? They are all amazing like that

rowinxavier,

I have played a bunch of them, Twilight Princess was an absolute no for me for some reason, but I liked Ocarina and Majora when I was younger. I plan to play a decompilation of both of those soon, native resolution and performance etc. I enjoyed Link’s Awakening as well, finished that on my original Gameboy back in the 90s, and Windwaker looks fun though I have only recently gotten onto a computer able to render it nicely, so that is on my play list.

They kinda murdered the game for me when they made it so easy to switch servers during play and avoid ever fighting anyone…

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I do get that. I’m not big on the PvP personally, but it is part of the game so I’ll never shame anyone for liking it. Still, it sounds like there would be better ways to handle it then just switching servers

Sea of Thieves is such an amazing game. I love just taking my boat and doing the treasure hunting. I haven’t played in over a year because the one thing i can’t deal with is the pvp. I am not good at it and frankly i have zero interest in it. But it is forced on you and people will sometimes just chase you till the ends of the ocean to take you out. I know there is now a “safe seas” mode but it is soooo limited. You aren’t even allowed to take your own ship 🥺.

I always played with my partner and my little sister. But my little sister just ends up getting drunk, eating all the food and falling off the boat hahaha. So we put her ass in the jail sell till she sobers up.

But fuck do i miss this game… alright time to reinstall!

I love your posts btw! I check and read the whole post every day. Always gets me excited to play the games you are currently playing.

duchess,

The dislike for forced PvP resonates with me. I thought about picking up Sea of Thieves (after a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon don‘t judge me) but the user reviews mentioning bad experiences with PvP put me off again. Maybe we‘ll see an unofficial shard server in the future.

wizardbeard,

Good news! No need to wait for unofficial servers. Over a year ago they opened a feature called safer seas where you can play without PvP!

Nythos,

www.seaofthieves.com/community/…/safer-seas-faq

Opened the feature and severely limited aspects of the game.

Kirca,

TBf they’ve cnanged a bunch since then, even still all they’ve really done is limited the PvP aspects.

If you love the PvE aspect of the game, then you aren’t missing anything in safe seas

The comment you’re replying to specifically mentions this feature and the fact that they do not use it and the reasoning behind that decision

wizardbeard,

It’s been hours now (and a very busy day), but I swear that half of that comment (including that section) wasn’t there when I commented regarding safer seas.

But there’s no mark showing the comment has been edited either.

Scurvy must be eating me brain.

NutinButNet,

This is me on nearly every level.

But my little sister just ends up getting drunk, eating all the food and falling off the boat hahaha. So we put her ass in the jail sell till she sobers up.

When I first read this, I thought your sister was doing this IRL lol

My brother and I played a few times, but he’s not into it.

I like playing alone sometimes but then it gets boring and repetitive playing by myself. I’m not into PvP either so I’m okay with meeting AI enemies, but as soon as another human comes around, I usually noped out because I just don’t want to be bothered.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not hog on the PvP either, especially when you get people who are so deep in the Meta that they’re employing advanced strategies. I’m not against the PvP, but I wish there was a way to just toggle it on or off while still being public. Because I do genuinely enjoy it from time to time.

I hope you have fun reinstalling. And thanks for enjoying it. I like seeing people try games i suggest. Makes me happy I convinced others to try new things (or pick up old ones in this case)

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.

Reil, do gaming w Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads?

Pretty sure that if you have a Dualshock 4 or 5,there should be a way to just use that! Modern controllers should work as generic Bluetooth controllers

theangriestbird,

If u go with this, OP, highly recommend a controller clip like one of these: https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/2ef420f9-9c1f-4f67-ac19-8dc3efe3a304.jpeg

scintilla, (edited ) do gaming w Are there any Android controllers with split D-pads?

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

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

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.

Is there a reason you can’t use a Playstation controller?

kayky,

How can I get them to pair with Android?

I don’t know much about it, but it looks like something specific is required ti pair controllers with an Android phone. I can pair them just fine with my PC.

I’m mostly asking out of curiosity; a regular Playstation controller isn’t able to hold the phone.

scott,

It’s been like more than a decade but there was some script I used to mod a PS3 controller (via USB) to connect to generic Bluetooth devices. They use Bluetooth, it’s just something specific value that needed tweaked.

glimse,

Hold Home and Screenshot until it turns on and starts flashing then pair it on your phone

Quetzalcutlass,

You need to hold the PS button and select (I’ll never stop calling it that) until the LED starts flashing, then it’ll be in pairing mode.

You can buy phone mounts for PlayStation controllers. It’d definitely be cheaper than a whole new controller.

kayky,

Thanks a ton for explaining this for me. I tried it out and it worked like a charm.

Now I will look for phone mounts.

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.

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

“Against the storm” is really really good, I’m not sure about chill. They offer different speed settings and I have a tendency to go as fast as I can.

Wait. i know.

“Terra Nil” is about restoring earth’s ecosystem through building.
