Hell Let Loose

It’s a larger-scale online FPS (50v50 maps) and a single bullet will kill you even up to great distances. There is no rushing in; that will just get you killed. You need to work as a team and advance with a plan to really get a win.

Due Process. 5v5 tactical shooter with (mostly) procedurally generated maps.

Ready or Not has gotten to be pretty solid.

Moonguide,

Second. Performance should probably be better (I was struggling before I upgraded), but it is great fun. Very, very dark in subject matter.

gurnu,

Too bad the devs are copaganda pushing alt-righters. Was looking forward to a successor to SWAT but RoN ain’t it

Kenshi. There is really not a single game out there that I can really compare it to and they have a very strong community, showing the game has a high replayability value

I play on console mostly these days.

Quexotic,

This has been my go to anymore, especially now that I can afford it.

Walican132,

It’s like the circle of life. Children start with console, move on to PC, return to console. Then LAN parties in the nursing home. I’ll touch back if I can ever afford to retire and let yall know.

Quexotic,

Dude, seriously! I totally expect to die before I can retire. Healthcare costs alone will prevent my being able to retire.

I don’t have a desk job. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I also always end up taking a break in the suggested (or rather, the suggested manner back when video games straight up had warnings about playing too long in the manual/splash screens when starting them) when I am playing. Just stand up, walk to the kitchen/bathroom/whatever and look at something other than a screen for like 5-10 minutes every 45-minutes to an hour.

You should be able to do that at work, too. Just stand up, stretch, look at the ceiling/floor. You don’t even have to leave your cubicle/office.

I take a lot of breaks. Just a few minutes doing something else.

Lots of visual novels, maybe you could try Fate?

There is unciv, a foss and free civ 5 adaptation, Humankind which was free for a time on epic games, civ 6 if it’s still on sale, civ 7 if you’re free to trying out new things

RimWorld would be nice but the lack of shortcuts will drive you mad

CK3 isn’t as bad when you lack shortcuts, it’s a fun game

!visualnovels can help you out with way more visual novels. Including ones that do not have sex scenes or romance, counter to the stereotype of all VNs as sex games.

(and if you do want romance in your VNs, but from a female perspective, !otomegames has you)

If you end up liking Crusader Kings 3 you might also like Crusader Kings 2

DannyBoy, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

I don’t see any mention of the Civilization games. Civ III is my personal favorite but Civ V was also good. Keyboard shortcuts are a little bit quicker of course but it’s turn based so there’s no rush!

A lot of RTS games play fine with just the mouse, especially in the early stages of playing. I’ve seen a few mentioned but I’ll put Stronghold Crusader onto the recommendation list. I generally play it without any keyboard inputs.

Oh I like that one, it's like a really colourful version of Power to the People.

hemko, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

You can play osrs with just mouse, though keyboard shortcuts are handy/mandatory for late game - you won’t be there though before the hand heals 😅

If you’re a grand strategy fan: Crusader Kings 3. You could spend hundreds of hours in that game, and it’s mainly designed to be played with only a mouse.

Contentedness,

Oh I remember looking into this a while back but it seemed kind of daunting. Perhaps now’s the time to take the plunge! Appreciate the suggestion!

simple,

It’s definitely a bit difficult to get into, but I’d recommend doing the tutorial and going with the flow rather than trying to understand everything. You’ll slowly start to realize what’s going on.

Skua,

I'd also add that CK3 is a step above most Paradox games in terms of beginner-friendliness. Everything has a tooltip defining what it does, and most of the game-specific words in that tooltip have tooltips of their own. It's not like the older games and their "lol keep the wiki open and good fucking luck" approach to explaining themselves

Nibodhika,

CK can be daunting, I recommend you choose which time period you like best and go with that game, e.g. if you like sci-fi go with Stellaris, if you like WWII go with Hearts of Iron 4, etc. liking the time period where the game is set can make a huge difference in you willingness to learn it. For example if you don’t like medieval it might be daunting to track lineages and hereditary traits and how the ownership of land works (I once lost an entire kingdom because of it on CK2), but if you like WWII maybe seeing historical facts reflected on mechanics or learning military tactics is more interesting to you. All of those games are very different from one another, but they’re also very alike, starting with one that’s just the right one can help you pass the steep learning curve.

Not sure how old you are, have you played the first and second GTA?

Very old and yes I have (when they came out in fact 🤣)

First of, sorry about your collarbone, that sucks

Second, I think if you’re looking for something to disappear into I really recommend Baldurs Gate 3, I’ve seen it recommend here already but just wanted to second that, it’s a really fantastic world to live in for a bit

Contentedness,

Ok cool, I’ve not tried the franchise at all but perhaps now’s the time. Thanks!

The last two point and click games I've enjoyed were the Deponia series and the Book of Unwritten Tales. Both really good, challenging and fun :)

Contentedness,

Amazing thank you! Will check these out. Appreciate the suggestions!
