Against the Storm! It’s a roguelite citybuilder set in an apocalyptic world where you build settlements in a short amount of time to complete objectives and hopefully survive. While it borrows some mechanics from some city builders, I haven’t played anything quite like it’s unique blend yet. Plus the artstyle is pretty reminiscent of Warcraft but prettier.

It’s in early access right now but it’s basically a complete game at this point.

The original FFVII game! Figuring out how to get the multiple discs to work from an emulator was a bit of a pain, but afterwards it’s been easy sailing! While it certainly has its problems, I can see why it’s so popular. Planning on checking out the remakes later on to get more of it, but I can’t deny I’ll miss the low-poly graphics of the OG, as I’ve always had a soft spot for that kind of 3D art

Do you have steam? Click on a tag (preferably a more descriptive one, but multiple can be selected on the next screen) of a game you enjoy, but think the soul has been lost from, sort by user review, find something you haven’t heard of before, enjoy the next entry in your preferred genre!

Alternatively go to the games store screen, at the bottom, after “more from this developer” is “users who enjoyed this game also enjoy”

Steam makes it very easy to expand your library, like it’s their business or something.

My previous comment seemed to miss the point of this thread.

In the spirit of this thread I would love to find an alternative to “Settlers 7, a new kingdom”. The simplified combat, the urgency of the tech tree, the all or nothing of trade routes, and the really deep 4x in an RTS elements were friggin amazing, but Ubisoft drm really kept me away from trying any other entries to the series, and they haven’t indicated anything new coming out. So where can I guy go to get his settlers fix? If you haven’t played settlers 7, and are ignorant of why ubisoft is synonymous with the devil, give it a shot, it’s a wonderfully fun experience that I haven’t found replicated anywhere else.

Cassette beasts is a great pokemon like with some fun twists and great sounds track

lemmy___user,

Congratulations on your excellent taste!

mesamunefire,

Coromon has a similar vibe. Such good games.

Thumper is the best rhythm game I’ve ever played, and it was made by two ex-harmonix employees who were disappointed by the direction of rock band and similar titles. It throws away all the wish fulfillment and commercial stuff and the result is amazing.

I can second Thumper. I bought it on a whim, and have since bought it several more times for more devices. It's such a satisfying game to play. I had no idea about the Harmonix connection, but it makes total sense now that you've said it.

I don’t know what these would really be alternatives to, but I impatiently await every new game from Daniel Mullins Games. Inscryption was a fantastic deck builder and I more than got my monies worth out of it. I also follow Stranga Games pretty closely. Very small developer makes story focused retro style adventure games. No combat at all generally. So if you like a casual experience and that style of game, it might be something to look into.

Although it looks like you’re mainly focusing on single player games, Titanfall 2 is a great alternative to Call of Duty. Its movement is insane, it’s fanbase isn’t toxic and it’s actually fun.

vividspecter,

Its single player campaign is well regarded too if relatively short.

Just beat it a few weeks ago, it was a great time. The set pieces are jaw-dropping at times.

Multiplayer def has a learning curve, but it's fantastic.

Chrono Trigger

The best game of all time, period.

Any game from Supergiant I would recommend in a heart beat.

If you like smash brothers, rivals of aether is really fun and has support for steam workshop.

I’ve been enjoying peglin quite a bit.

morphballganon,

As an alternative to what?

mesamunefire,

Pegle

thx

Nephalis,

Casette Beasts is good also.

Sunhealer,

Also keep a lookout for Beastieball! There’s currently a demo available on Steam.

Narrrz, do games w What are some alternative to soulless videogame franchises?

if you enjoyed diablo 2,grim dawn feels like a spiritual successor to that game specifically, whereas d3 didn't really.

Lightsong,

You mean like it’s game where you could rush/grush and mass level, make mfer, farm stuff and make your pvp characters with skill trees and skill synergies?

dangblingus,

Yes to all of that. In fact the synergies that you can pull off in GD make you feel godlike.

Lightsong,

Awesome! Added to watch list.

I haven’t played the beta yet but I’m hoping that The Finals, which is made by ex-Dice devs, will be a good alternative to Battlefield and COD. I just miss destructible environments so badly. Bad Company 2 was so so good back in the day.

sirfancy,

I really, really hope that it doesn’t get overrun with cheaters like warzone did. I have really high hopes for the game because I’m having a blast with the beta. Not often does a game come along out of nowhere and just tick all the boxes with having such a solid formula. Last game I felt like this with was Alex Legends. Pls devs don’t screw this up 🙏

LadyLikesSpiders,

Saw an article on that game recently that they’re using AI voices in that. I don’t think it’s for everything, but if you happen to be an opponent to AI, that’s something to know. If not, well, carry on 😅

ViscloReader,

I honestly think it’s a good application of AI. It really sets the “tournament” vibe

Evotech,

I mean, you could make an argument that AI announcers have an in-game reason to be a thing.
