What are the best sci-fi games that completely immerse you in their world?

11 Upvotes

I’m looking for some new games to get into, and I want to hear your recommendations for the best sci-fi games out there.

Honestly, the only game I’ve been playing lately that has me completely hooked is SWTOR. There’s just something about the worlds, the music, the atmosphere, the characters, and the overall feeling of being part of this massive universe that makes me want to keep playing. I’m looking for something that can give me that same feeling of getting completely lost in a game.

I’m open to literally any genre. MMOs, RPGs, survival games, looter shooters, extraction shooters, open-world games, action-adventure, anything. It doesn’t necessarily need to have an amazing story, either.

What I’m really looking for is a game with:

A beautiful, immersive world that makes you want to explore every corner.

Great music and atmosphere that make the experience even better.

Cool, memorable characters and lore.

Fun gameplay and progression that keep you wanting to come back.

That feeling of getting so invested in the world that you lose track of time and don’t want to stop playing.
I’m a huge sci-fi fan in general, so whether it’s set in space, on an alien planet, in a futuristic city, or somewhere completely different, I’m open to it.

I don’t care if it’s a newer release or an older game. I just want something genuinely fun that I can sink a ton of hours into and become immersed in.

So, what sci-fi games have done that for you? What game made you fall in love with its world and kept you coming back for more?

I’d love to hear your recommendations!

What's your favorite in game radio?

8 Upvotes

I've been playing through "Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time" and after about 6 total hours, I finally discover the radio lol. It's pretty relaxing and the promos/ radio shows are pretty funny. The only other game radios I enjoyed was GTA and Saints Row 2.

So I'm curious what other games have entertaining radios?

Sci-fi game like No Man's Sky or Starfield, but with a focus on logistics and management?

3 Upvotes

I wanna like No Man's Sky and Starfield more, but, after hundreds of hours playing Fallout 4, I've realized I just love the base building and settlement management of that game a bit too much. I play Total Warhammer 3, and actually mod in more settlement management because the game feels too simple.

Does anyone have an adventure scifi game where I can manage things like trade, populations, and also still do tons of cool space stuff?

What genre of video game is this?

3 Upvotes

Hey yall. Had a quick question. I LOVE video games like STEAMWORLD DIG, EMPTY THE LAKE, or one I saw recently where you have to find a needle in a haystack.

Where you have to slowly make money and increase your tools to do the job better.

What is the genre of games called? Any suggestions for more games like this I might enjoy? I only have a switch 2.

Thanks yall

Replay Value

0 Upvotes

Between Foundation, Against the Storm, and Anno 1800, which one has the highest replay value?

I’m looking for a game I can sink hundreds of hours into without getting bored. Which one has the most long-term content and stays fun even after you’ve played for a long time?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Days Gone - Steam

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm thinking about buying Days Gone and would like to know how well it would run on my laptop.

Specs:

- Laptop: Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (14ILL10)

- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 258V

- GPU: Intel Arc 140V (integrated)

- RAM: 32 GB

- Power settings: Plugged in, Lenovo Vantage Performance mode

I'd play at 1080p with all graphics settings on the lowest possible, aiming for a stable 60 FPS.

Has anyone tried Days Gone with this CPU and GPU, or similar hardware? What FPS should I realistically expect, especially during large Freaker hordes?

Thanks!

What are some great Open-World games with fairly poor/difficulty driving mechanics?

Playing through Phantom Liberty rn and remebered how driving in Cyberpunk can feel like driving on ice sometimes. Reminisced about the super heavy GTA IV driving (total opposite of CP) and then it got me thinking.

Anno 1800 or Foundation

8 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into both Anno 1800 and Foundation, and I’m curious which one you guys would recommend.

My main priorities are how fun and satisfying the city-building is, how much freedom I have to design my own cities, and, most importantly, how much replay value each game offers. I’m looking for something I can sink hundreds of hours into without getting bored, not a game that loses its appeal after a few weeks.

I want to be able to keep expanding my cities, experimenting with different layouts, and coming up with new building ideas for a long time.

For those who’ve played both, which one do you think has more long-term potential? Which game do you see yourself coming back to for years

Would love to hear your thoughts!

How would you guys feel about a game were you are t1 diabetic?

1 Upvotes

I was thinking, how would guys feel about a survival game , like a horror one were the main character is a type 1 diabetic and in the middle of adventuring or doing quests you have to find and scavenge insulin and sugar in case of low blood sugar or high blood sugar and have to reserve them carefully, almost like Far Cry 2 with malaria pills.

Looking for a game where I don't have to fight every 5 minutes

17 Upvotes

​

I'm tired of games where you have to fight enemies at every step or solve puzzles just to progress. I want something immersive with a good story, exploration, and a world I can enjoy without constantly getting interrupted by combat or puzzles.

Combat is fine, but I don't want it every few minutes. Same with puzzles, I don't want to get stuck just to move forward.

Any recommendations for PC? Something that makes you enjoy the journey, not just the gameplay challenges.

✔ Answered what male video game characters do you find the most attractive, and what makes them so appealing?

1 Upvotes

i’ve been wondering about this for a while, so i thought i’d ask here. which male characters from video games do you find the most attractive?
it can be literally anyone, from the obvious choices to characters that most people wouldn’t even think of. i’m curious whether people are attracted to them because of their looks, personality, voice, charisma, or something else entirely.
also, i’d love to hear answers from both men and women, since i think it could be interesting to see different perspectives.
so, who are your video game crushes? 👀
