Hard disagree in my case. But that might be because it’s a new IP. When I play Fallout 4 I can’t stop myself of thinking what was and could have been. I obviously don’t have that with Starfield and found it much more enjoyable
I found Fallout 4 had good gameplay, but the main questline didn’t connect with me at all. I’m currently playing through Starfield at the moment, have like 220 hours playtime, I honestly wish I wasn’t finding it so boring but it’s easily the most bland Bethesda game I’ve ever played.
The story writing seems kinda half-arsed, but my main issue with Starfield is in the environments. Every location feels the same, and the planets are all just barren deserts with a random base and two caves plopped on it. At least Fallout 4’s environment felt hand-crafted, and not just like they rolled three dice.
I thought the main story was pretty enjoyable tbh. I can still remember some side quests really vividly as well, which is a good sign. The batman nod for example, or the 0 g casino. There was a lot of copy and paste, agreed, but the gunplay was fun so I didn’t mind that much. Also I spent hours on ship creation, thatwas cool
every time I got lost in the ship builder, I’d spend an hour on some crazy design, be a piece away from saving it, and the game would just lock up and stop responding to input. Only ever happened in ship builder. I lost like 4 hours to that flippin’ bug!
I like them both, to me starfield just feels like a newer fallout 4, but I also like space and the guns, but at the same time after playing oblivion a ton in highschool all bethesda games just feel like the same thing with a bit less. at least with fallout and starfield you could build up bases and stuff, ive actually been replaying oblivion remastered a ton since I havent really gamed in a long time just because its so familiar but new at the same time after all these years
Elderborn is an indie first person “metal AF slasher.” I guess it could be considered souls like. but you can be a lady barbarian thwacking skeletons with a hammer. Well theres a bunch of weapons but hammer rules. Id say its a tough game but not all that hard.
Theres a kick mechanic where you can boot an enemy over a ledge. Landing one of those is just about the most satisfying thing for me.
Or it’s chiral bells and suddenly you’re experiencing Yoko Taro’s newest mindfuck addition to Drakengard/Nier (as a FFXIV fan the Nier raid final boss was awesome, JS)
How important is being an RPG in this case? (as I note only a couple of your examples are in that genre)
The below suggestions are not RPGs, but I think fit your request.
It’s a survival game, but Conan Exiles ticks a lot of those boxes once you get a bit geared (which doesn’t take super long), and it can be played single player. Just have to be okay with some janky experiences.
I will also note that you are a girl in Hades 2.
Sifu is another one you might enjoy, though bosses certainly are a challenge.
Bayonetta is probably the most pure example of a horde-fighting action game with a sexy female witch protagonist. Lollipop Chainsaw is there too, for more of an airhead protagonist. Darksiders 3 could fit the bill as well.
Sifu has girl? I got that for free on Epic. I was looking at it yesterday but decided not to check if the guy on the box is the only player character. Thanks!
It has hordes of enemies you can slaughter (which provides a certain kind of relaxation, to be fair) as a pretty girl who possibly looks like you maybe, and you can see boobs.
I never actually played the game (although I'm interested in playing it) but it was the first thing that popped into my mind.
It depends on your definition of “pretty” but in Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup you get to slaughter countless hordes of critters to dragons. Go for a brain off Minotaur Berserker with an axe and shield and get killing! Go here if you need more character ideas: tavern.dcss.io/t/…/1057
It’s… probably not what you’re looking for but I’ll throw Warframe into the ring just in case. It’s technically an MMO I think? And not exactly a traditional RPG progression either. There are definitely boobs, but your character won’t look like you
Tap for spoileruntil you progress through a sufficient quantity of the main story, and even then still not part of your standard gameplay.
But it checks the slaughtering hordes of enemy box. Power Fantasy is turned on day one I think
Is Warframe still nice to start out with in 2025? I remember installing it a while back and being overwhelmed by the amount of info and options and not really knowing how to simply progress the story in the original way.
it definitely still can be, the devs have been putting a lot of work into streamlining and improving the new player experience, so a lot of the overwhelming options are still available but more things are trying to point you forward. All of the main story quests are separated out in your codex now with their unlock requirements, otherwise the advice I have always heard is: explore the star chart and unlock new planets. Which will never let you down if you’re feeling lost
I love Warframe, but I don’t like how it steals focus during loading screens. I’m kinda pissed off at it. I need a better window manager before I can get back into Warframe
I sometimes wonder what will happen when EAC, that has root access to millions of PCs, gets compromised or has grunty employee and pushes malicious update
Holy fuck I did not know about Overwolf. That’s the last time I download something from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).
I think it’s kind of ironic you call your friend apparently a dipshit for not knowing something you also didn’t know… pot calling the kettle black & all.
Then the death squads will come in, and they’ll ask ‘how could this possibly happen!?’, getting fucking pissed or saying “we couldn’t have known!” when you answer, and offer an ‘i fucking told you so’ in line for the camps.
You’re there too, because they tagged you in everything.
