Visual novels fit this rather closely. They’re a mixture of book and game, so any fluff you encounter tends to be skippable.

Other than that, I propose The Pegasus Expedition. I found it to be fairly fast-paced.

You don’t have many opportunities to grind in Reverse Collapse. The game is hard, though it mainly depends on your ability to strategize than raw numbers. For example, there’s one boss early on who’s completely unbeatable unless you can exploit her AI into running on some plants.

Subnautica comes to mind. It’s a survival game with a heavy focus on exploring and a very structured story. Fluff text and the obligatory random documents and audio logs are mostly optional, though the game does have a mystery to solve so some of those you want to pay attention to. No real spikes in difficulty, it’s honestly an easy game.

look back to some of the games for the 8 and 16-bit consoles. They tended to be about fun rather than shock factors. So check out the larger games for the megadrive for example.

Also, I kinda thought borderlands was good in that it adapted to how you prefer to play and the difficulty seemed consistent.

Dark Souls (any) and Bloodborne.

The others don’t pass muster because they do have some insane difficulty spikes. These don’t, really. Smough & Ornstein is really the only spike I can think of in the entire DS series and BB actually felt pretty even through the whole game.

Grinding isn’t necessary and there is essentially zero fluff in all of them, tho.

Jump Ultimate Stars.

The fatal flaw is that it is old and you need to do a lot of extra steps to play online in 2025, but aside from that, the game has a very steep learning curve so even the greatest otaku can struggle to get into it, competitively specially, if there is a room for that word in 2025 😅

Dredge is a pretty unique one that I had a lot of fun with. Firewatch is good but short

missingno, 23 minuty temu do games w Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

If you don't already have a Switch 1, it's got a pretty great library to catch up on. And I would still recommend getting a Switch 2 over buying a Switch 1 now, because that'll last you this whole generation too. It's also worth noting that the Switch 2 kinda has a secret bonus library of ports that ran poorly on Switch 1 but are miraculously good.

I also have to be that guy and say to take most of the negativity here with a grain of salt. Put it this way, if you want informed opinions on the system, ask people who actually have one rather than people who don't.
