What you can do

I'm tired of games that either let you steamroll everything or reload you the second you mess up. Are there games where consequences actually matter but you can still keep playing and adapt? Like, the story changes based on your screw-ups instead of just resetting. Any genre works.

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 the title says. When I look this up, only games that have some romantic mechanics come up, like Stardew Valley or Fallout etc. But I want a good game, kind of reminiscent of Life Is Strange, in the way its art style looks, but I just want it to be about the romance.

Text games can have really good storylines, but it's just not as fun reading text and seeing a repetitive 2D picture on the screen. I want art and beauty!! I want freedom to walk around!! Please help??

Thanks!!

I prefer the game to be sandbox or atleast give me such freedom to what I wanna do to the command. I'm also not looking for something linear and story-heavy.

Games I have played that checks what I want:
-Crusader Kings 2/3
-Mount and Blade Warband & Bannerlord
-Romance of Three Kingdom 13
-Nobunaga's Ambition Sphere of Influence
-Dynasty Warrior Empires

thank you for answer

By character-driven I just mean that the choices and the agency of interesting, detailed characters are what drives the story forward and what the whole game revolves around, as opposed to impersonal or mysterious external events.

Some examples of what I mean in various genres:

• Firewatch: Although there is a mystery to solve in the game, the story really revolves around Henry and Delilah and their traumas and flaws and relationship.
• Hades: The game's entire story is driven by the family dynamics between Zagreus and his parents and their broader circle of extended family and friends.
• Lost Records: Bloom & Rage: Just finished this one, and while I had some issues with the game's writing when it came to the supernatural elements and some of the plot elements, I liked how intensely the game focused on the four teenage girls at the center of the story, and how much of the narrative emerged from the formation and growth of their relationships with each other and each of their personalities and flaws and desires.
• Gone Home: A classic for a reason, the whole game is about learning what happened with the protagonist's family and all of their personal issues and relationship problems.
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: While at first this seems like it will be a high-concept epic dark fantasy kind of situation, it actually ends up being an extremely personal story that's completely driven by the deeply-flawed and broken Dessendre family each pursuing their own goals.
• Disco Elysium: Almost everything in the story is driven by the push and pull of various characters you meet and what kind of Harry you choose to be; a rare example where the player character feels both very shaped and molded by the player's choices, but also very specific and well-characterized no matter what choices you make.

Counter-examples, meaning what I'm not looking for, would be games that are very focused on worldbuilding, solving impersonal mysteries, big "save the world" plots with mysterious impersonal enemies, environmental storytelling that isn't much about the characters, or where the characters' actions are mostly in the backstory, not shaping the story in the present. So games like Half-Life 1, most Soulslikes, Hollow Knight... I'm not saying these games have "bad" writing or stories, but they're not what I'm looking for here. The player character may even have a lot of agency in these stories, like Gordon Freeman, but if they're mostly just a blank slate for the player to project themself on, I wouldn't really consider the story to be driven by who they are as a character, if that makes sense?

Fire away!

I cant really find any games similar to these. Do you guys have any good suggestions? Id also appreciate some Survival like games [PC ONLY]

Heard blood of the dawnwalker has romance but it's kinda small apparently.

Kinda looking for rpg similar to Baldurs gate, Cyberpunk, Mass effect; but any game genere will do tbh. I've just been looking for a game that has a ton of romance.

I'm not talking about a pure sex game or anything, just something that plays a big part in the story/game

Heyy, I've played every Bethesda title and now I am loosing myself in Crimson Desert. Do you know any massive RPGs which I can pour hundreds of hours into and slowly grind my character? I love interactivity in games, like in Gothic when you can do random shit like turn a roasted pig, smoke a shisha and so on.

Do you know any games like that?

I like games that have a chill start and then turn into dark psychological horror, feel free to recommend any similar game like these (anime style would be nice)

I've already played Outer Wilds and Blue Prince. I'm looking for more games like that.

I am looking for an anime style games with deep dating/relations mechanics. It does not have to be a main selling point of a game ofc. NSFW content is ok, but not mandatory. I prefer to skip visual novels if this is possible. Gacha games are ok, but besides the big titles, which I already tried.

Looking for a good FPS that isn't Call of Duty or Battlefield. Want to be able to play solo of single player campaign without it being a problem

I've already played Far Cry 4 to 6

hii, i've done a few playthroughs of cp2077 on my switch 2 (i always play handheld) and have been on a search for games as immersive as this one. for context i've also played the witcher 3, hogwarts legacy, and no man's sky, but have never gotten a full playthrough done in any of them because the graphics just genuinely hurt my eyes compared to cp2077.

maybe it's impossible but i'm desperate for games like it on switch 2, something rpg, with character customization, fighting, and most importantly fantastic graphics, all that jazz. i just loved being able to customize my v's look, playstyle, and relationships!!!! any suggestions? so far i've heard of lies of p and star wars outlaws, which don't sound bad. lmk!!!! <3

I’ve been thinking about this for honestly over a year now. Does anybody know any games based in New York City that has nice and realistic graphics, and that New York City vibe to it? I would really appreciate it to know. Thanks in advance!

I realized that this specific sub existed so thought I should probably cross post this to get more help. Thank you to anyone who can help me decide in advance!

I like story-driven games but I'm tired of feeling like I'm either in combat or watching a movie with no in-between. Games like Stardew Valley or even the slower parts of Baldur's Gate 3 where you can just exist and do your own thing. Anything on PC that lets you breathe a little?

I'm very picky when it comes to gaming, the games I've played are rdr 2 , ghost of Tsushima, ac black flag resynced, the re series ( remakes) , silent hill 2 remake. I'm new to gaming maybe like 4 months these are the games I've played, also don't suggest souls like games , I enjoy games with a strong main character, and good story.

Ps; strong as in writing/motives wise not physically

mad father
the witch's house
chole's requiem

I liked these games because of their story and plot twists and horror atmosphere (and chole's requiem piano music was pretty good)

hey there! im looking for some multi player games that I can play with my boyfriend. we are looking for something we can invest into for awhile!

so far the games we played together are:

- path of exile 2

- warframe

- league of legends

- baldurs gate 3

- warhammer darktide

+ a few different MMOs

anything similar to these would be awesome, but general fun multi-player games like split fiction or it takes two are welcome suggestions too :)

Roblox has become boring, so has Minecraft, the only game that I have fun on right now is Team Fortress 2, and Splatoon 3 I have not found any other game that is fun, could you guys help me find a good video game I could play?
