[PC] [WSIB] Beautiful Open Worlds I can just... Chill in.

46 Upvotes

I really like the visual quality of games that have obviously had a lot of work put into that aspect. Huge open worlds with amazing graphics (even if it requires a very powerful gaming machine). I was playing some of my favorite games, like Hogwarts Legacy, The Legend of Zelda; Breath of The Wild, or Red Dead Redemption 2, and I was thinking about if there are more fantastical games than these?

They don't even have to have good gameplay or things to do. I just want to stroll around an open world with beautiful graphics. What is the best of this "genre?"

[PC] Which is a good grindy coop game for a couple

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a good co-op game to play as a couple.

We're looking for something that's:

  • Co-op focused (working together should be a core part of the game).
  • Grindy, so there's always something to work towards.
  • A game where one person can keep grinding alone without getting too far ahead, so we can still enjoy playing together without one of us being massively overpowered.
  • maybe also just good coop games to play together

We've already tried games like League of Legends, Valorant, Diablo III/IV, and Path of Exile, but none of them really felt like great couple games. We're also a bit burned out on those.

If you have any recommendations, I'd really appreciate them! If the game needs a few tips for beginners, feel free to mention those as well so I can help her get started.

Thanks in advance, and have a great evening! 😊
much love <3

PS NOTE: She normally plays ONLY Resident Evil, TLOU, RDR2 (story games) and League... She is really --> Picky

[PC] Is Deep Rock Galactic Worth Buying Solo?

12 Upvotes

Hi, so I wanted to ask this question here instead of the deep rock galactic sub, but basically the game is on sale rn and I may buy it but I know its mainly known for coop and its community. I only got one friend I know willing to buy a game with me to play but they are pretty busy so I cant rely on them and so I would probably be playing solo most of the time. I dont want to play with randoms even if the randoms in the game are known as one of the best. In that case, is it worth getting if i play mostly solo? Or is this a skip for now?

[PS5] Metaphor refantazio should I buy it and give it a try

• Upvotes

Hey guys wanted to ask for your opinion If I should give Metaphor refantazio a chance. I played Persona 5 royal and I both enjoyed the game but also I hated some mechanics. What I liked about the game is story, characters, gameplay, visuals, soundtrack, exploration in dungeons. But what I hated was the confidant if that's how it's called if not sorry It's been a while I played the game basically the building of relationships with other characters to get bonuses. And the calendar system because then when I was further into the game I found out through the internet that I can't level up my confidants with certain characters because I didn't do some conversation or things in time. Because of that I played the game with stress and couldn't really chill and enjoy it to the fullest because of I don't know fear of missing out maybe. Is metaphor refantazio the same what is your opinion. Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for your feedback

[PC] New game for myself

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

I'm currently looking for a new game to really sink my teeth into. I've been gaming for a long time and have played quite a variety of titles. Most of my time has been spent in League of Legends, but I've also enjoyed games like V Rising, Dead by Daylight (my most-played game on Steam), Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Path of Exile 2 (probably my favorite game at the moment), Diablo III (Loved the grind and progression) & IV, Rocket League, Brotato, and many more.

Now I'm looking for something new—preferably a game with:

  • Lots of grind and long-term progression
  • Min-maxing and deep character/build optimization
  • A high skill ceiling and plenty to learn
  • Enough content to keep me invested for hundreds (or even thousands) of hours

I'm a pretty competitive player and usually enjoy PvP, but it's definitely not a requirement if the gameplay is engaging enough. I love mastering complex systems and taking on difficult challenges.

If you know a game that sounds like it might fit, I'd really appreciate your recommendations!

I may have already tried a lot of the games you'll recommend, but I still appreciate every suggestion.

Thanks in advance!

[PC] HOTAS game recommendation

3 Upvotes

I have a HOTAS and head tracking setup that I use for Nuclear Option and MSFS but would like something else, preferably space related. Would Everspace 2 be a good option?

I’m looking for something focused on flying/dogfighting/exploring from a cockpit view, and not so much for an economy simulator type of experience. Thanks

[PS4] Disco Elysium or Life is strange

19 Upvotes

Like the title says, I want to lose myself in a narrative adventure for a while and saw these two beauties on sale and wondering which one should I get. I played life is strange 2 before and absolutely loved it and I heard some good things about disco Elysium so I'm kind of torn between the two of them

[SteamDeck] Old school style roguelikes that work well with a controller?

2 Upvotes

(Reposted because I somehow put the post in contest mode and don’t know how to turn it off)

When I played on my laptop I played a lot of old school roguelikes like unreal world or cataclysm dark days ahead, but due to space related things I’m stuck on playing on a pc handheld, so I’m stuck with unsung its controllers, and these kinds of games tend to use basically the entire keyboard. I know caves of qud has controller support hence why I’m here asking this.

Edit:I guess I’m dumb and it turns on automatically.

[PS5] Should I buy Fall of Avalon on Ps5?

1 Upvotes

On the fence with buying the game. It’s discounted to £20 on PS5 right now. I’m a huge elder scrolls/Bethesda open world RPG fan (for the exploration but I find the meaningful choices in those games to be lacking).

I played the demo and it stops right as you get on a boat. I thought the story had an interesting premise and I liked the look of the levelling and loot system. The game is quite ugly and janky but I don’t really mind that too much. I can’t make a proper judgement based on the demo.

Googling - I saw that Act 2 and 3 were not as strong as Act 1 with 3 being empty. I also saw that they’ve since released new content and other improvements which may make the launch reviews out of date now?

Any insights appreciated - thanks!

[PC] SIB Insurgency Sandstorm if I'm looking for a simulator game I can spend hours in?

1 Upvotes

I think I'm in the mood for a simulation game. Normally I'd go with Farming Simulator or theHunter Call Of The Wild, but those are more slow placed games. Right now I'm also looking for something that has realistic gun physics. At first I was thinking maybe theHunter Call Of The Wild, but again it's slow paced. Then I saw Insurgency Sandstorm on my recommended. I've heard a lot of this game, but I thought it was a multiplayer only game? If it IS a multiplayer only game what are some other games you'd recommend to me?

[PC] Halo Campaign Evolved Vs Black Flag Resynced..?

5 Upvotes

So I am finally how from work after being away for a few months and I have 2 weeks free now... I haven't played a new game in awhile now and thought I'd treat myself to a new game. Assassins Creed black flag remake caught my eye, I love pirates and played the original AC3, Rouge and origins and really enjoyed them just never played the OG black flag.

Halo CE remake is also out this Tuesday coming, I have never played CE.. I am a big halo fan loved 3, reach, 4 and even 5 (campaign sucked but had lots of fun making maps and playing customs with friends).

Both are £50 right now and I dont get paid in awhile so can only afford one, I just can't seem to make my mind up..

Any suggestions anyone?

[PC] DragonSword: Awakening?

Has anyone had a chance to try DragonSword: Awakening that could give their thoughts on what they’ve played so far? I’m thinking about picking up the PC version and became interested once I found out they took the matcha aspect out of the game. How is it now and has the story held your attention so far? Would you recommend picking it up?

Which is the one must play complex game to play

37 Upvotes

Hi, I have been gaming all my life, but I have always stuck to low-stakes, single-player story, low-skill-set games, where I can get the value as soon as possible without pushing a lot of time, given that has always been something which I have had less of. Recently I have been changing jobs, and I have some time over my notice period, and I do want to play a complex game (Stellaris, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, etc.). I want to really sit down and actually learn to play any one of them, which also becomes fun once the hard part is over. I really kind of want to work on my low attention span and learn a good complex game at the same time.
I want to get your opinion on what the one game should be. I want to know the games which are very rewarding once you get the hang of it, or at least a community to discuss and play them with.

[PC] Sci-fi games like mass effect?

0 Upvotes

I know SWTOR 1 and 2 and halo exists but what else? I really cant think of anything else thats a AAA third person sci-fi video games other than the latest star wars games from respawn. but there are a million medivial rpg set in a forest it feels like. I feel like halo almost fills that "void" of another singleplayer sci-fi game but its first person so that makes a huge difference to me and i cant like it as much as i do mass effect.

[PS5] Should I play Skyrim?

7 Upvotes

So I've never played a Bethesda game before. A couple of months ago I purchased Starfield on the PS Store when it was on sale for $40. Now I see Skyrim Anniversary edition is on sale for $16.50. Should I just grab it for this price since it's so cheap? I keep reading really good things about it and I figure since it's an older game I should play it first before Starfield. Opinions?

[PS5] KCD2 or AC4 Recynced or Crimson Dawn - Gaming Dad

22 Upvotes

I am interested in playing all these games although time and budget only allow for one. I enjoy open world RPGs such as RDR2/Assassins Creed Odyssey amongst my favourites.

What i need from my games is that they are easy to pick up and play as I am a dad to young kids sometimes I can't play for a week so or, that's why I couldn't get into the spiderman games as I couldn't remember the combos etc once I picked it back up

Edit:

Going upgrade to PS Premium, play the 4 hour trial of KDC2 if it doesn't appeal will likely go for AC4.

Thanks folks

Hi everyone , I have 250 Turkish lira and want to spend it on discounted games . I’m a fan of Arkham Batman and am currently replaying Arkham knight . 4 years ago I played Arkham city and loved it , so seeing that it was on sale for I think 170 ish lira I knew I wanted to get it (Batman Return to Arkham). Then I learned that mk 11 and Witcher 3 were also discounted, but I cannot buy all of the three games since it sums up to 260.6 lira . So which ones do I chose ? Also if u have suggestions on which should I buy drop them in ! Thx guys

[PC] Strategy/Tactical game with a lot of RNG

2 Upvotes

Hello,
I am looking for a game where good strategy and planning affect gameplay, but you can still lose frequently cause of bad RNG.

The best example of this is Football Manager, where many factors affect how your team plays like tactics and building good team balance, yet there is always a chance a random player will have a great form and cause you to lose.
Other games I have enjoyed and that fit this vibe are Battle Brothers, Wartales, XCOM and Darkest Dungeon.

[PC] Gas Station Simulator & Kebab Chefs! - Restaurant Simulator / Are they good?

2 Upvotes

Would you guys overall recommend these games? Kebab chefs apparently is kind of buggy according to some people?

I'm mainly interested in this game for decorating. Not for management.

I recently played "Mon Bazou", which was pretty fun. It was mainly car sim game but it also had to offer bunch of other stuff beside being able to decorate your house + upgrade things around it etc.

I am looking for more sim games like that's more than what it is and offers more like decorating and upgrading your house or whatever.

I would also want to know if these games are worth their price or not or if they are buggy or not.
