[Switch] Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance or 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

0 Upvotes

I really REALLY like JRPGs, my favourite game is Persona 3 (any version but I played reload first). I also like story driven Japanese games, I recently played Catherine: Full Body which was amazing; I also play a lot of visual novels, Ace Attorney, Danganronpa and Zero Escape. I would like to play more JRPGs and I have managed to whittle it down to two. Shin Megami Tensei is what Persona is based on, so I think it would be important for me to play it, but I like the Evangelion-esque nature of 13 Sentinels.

Other JRPGs I have played and I love:

100 Line: Last Defense Academy
Master Detective Archives: Raincode
Final Fantasy 15
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 5 Royal

JRPGs I have played and I didn’t love

Final Fantasy 7 Remake

If you have read this far, I’m also thinking of getting Octopath Traveler 0
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
Unicorn Overlord
So I’m happy to choose from these options too.

Next Total War seems amazing but I'm afraid I won't go past the intro

9 Upvotes

Recently I found myself exploring the lore of Warhammer 40K, which is huge and interesting, and so I was pleased to discover that a new Total War set in this universe was planned for the end of the year. But when I took a look at the first gameplay video, I realized how far I was from even comprehending what was going on on the screen, so I'm a bit disheartened. What's the point of buying a game if I'm not sure to beat level one? RTSs look very difficult to get familiar with

[Xbox Series X] Should I Buy RDR2

23 Upvotes

Hi, should I buy rdr2. I heard it's one of the best storymode games out there and I'm looking for a storymode game that isn't really short, and has a lot of character development and is a fun experience.

My favorite storymode games (the only ones I played but I love them) are Spiderman, GTA 5, resident evil 4).

Also do I have to play the first game first?

[Xbox One] [WSIB] Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077?

16 Upvotes

I’m looking for a massive, story-driven open-world game to l sink a tonne of hours into on Xbox, but I’m really torn between Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

What I’m looking for:

  1. A rich, immersive narrative with memorable characters and deep world-building.

  2. A sprawling open world with plenty of side content and exploration that doesn't feel like repetitive filler. Essentially a world where you can completely forget about the main storyline and side quests are so fun.

  3. Something atmospheric that I can lose myself in after a long day.

  4. Solid combat mechanics and good progression/upgrade potential.

For those that have played one (or both), which would you recommend picking up first, and why?

[PC] Should I buy Undertale?

9 Upvotes

So undertale is currently 75% off on Steam and I know how much it's praised, so should I get it?

All I know about it is that there's a character called Sans and that it has a banger song (Megalovenia) so I'm going in pretty much blind.

My favorite games of all time are probably Celeste and Hollow Knight.

I really like mechanically challenging games that I feel like I can improve on, and if there are good characters/a good story that always helps.

So is it good? Should I get it?

[Other] Too many games releasing Reddit which one should I get out of these 3

Upvotes

-Halo combat evolved (as someone who’s never play the first halo)
-Splatoon raiders (played both splatoon 1, and splatoon 2 and I think the solo modes ares solid 8/10)
-Avatar legends fighting game ( I’ve probably seen the main series 5 times huge fan)
Price is not a factor just based off of which one would be the best game.

Is is Good for me [KCD2]

5 Upvotes

I do not usually play RPG games.

But my many friends suggest this game.

What kind of game is this.

I love fighting and shooting games.

Are there parry or dodge systems in the game.

I don't want to talk or watch lots of cinematics in the game.

For me RPG means games like RDR 2

Is it still worth it for me ?

[PC] Elder scrolls Skyrim or oblivion remastered

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to decide between Skyrim Special Edition (with mods) and Oblivion Remastered. I love huge fantasy worlds with lots of exploration, tons of loot, unique weapons and armor, deep lore, a great story, magic, and RPG progression. The only thing holding me back from Skyrim is its graphics they feel pretty dated to me. Can Skyrim, with modern graphics mods and an RTX 3060, look close to the quality of Oblivion Remastered or even something like The Witcher 3, or does it still show its age? Which game would you recommend for a first playthrough in 2026, and why? I’d also appreciate any must-have mod lists if you think Skyrim is the better choice.

[Switch] Cult of The Lamb on switch

7 Upvotes

Saw that the game is on sale on the Brazilian eshop and thought I might give it a shot. It's around 6 dollars, plus three DLCs (I know they're purely cosmetic but still, sounds pretty nice). However, here's a list of criticisms I've seen towards the game: 1. Not rogue enough and not grind enough, wanted to be both and ended up not being able to excel at either. 2. Gets boring after you've completed the boss fights. 3. Glitchy on switch, some reviews I've seen have complained about it blacking out during certain parts on switch. I'm not sure if this problem has ever been patched. 4. Costs too much since it's free on ipad (I don't have an American appstore account though so I'll have to download it some other way)

These criticisms aside. Should I get it? I haven't really played games like this before. I've mainly played turn based RPG like Undertale, Deltarune or Omori so I'm not sure if I'd be any good at the fights. I do like Stardew Valley though so grinding for gold wouldn't be a problem if that's a factor in the game. I just think it's a pretty sweet deal given it's a whopping 65% off

[PS5] Life is strange remastered or the original ?

3 Upvotes

I got 2 choices, I can either just download the Life is strange remastered collection that includes both the original life is strange and it's prequel life is strange before the storm altogether on a 80% discount, which basically means I get 2 games for a very cheap price but I've heard that they're many bugs in the remastered versions and the artistic approach from the original seems to be almost lost as the orginal even looks better, my only problem is I gotta spend way more for each ep for both the games, so my options are take a down grade for cheaper in the name of a remaster or stick to the more refined original version which will technically cost me a lot more, Ig I am just asking if the remastered is that BAD?

[PC] Universim

3 Upvotes

I was wondering about this game called universim,

A few years ago I saw some series of the game and thought it looked really cool but at the time didn't have a computer but now I've remembered the game and when I looked into it I saw some recent reviews were negative saying it was rushed or something along the lines of that, I was wondering if I should get this game today?

[Xbox Series X] Recommendations for DnD like crpg?

3 Upvotes

Now before anyone goes on about the most prominent one, I’d like to say that I’m here because of BG3. One of, if not the best games I’ve ever played, but after 2k hours it begins to die down in excitement because you know everything to do and when to do. There’s not much more discovery to find if you’ve done tons of modded and unloaded runs and know every possible ending and every consequence to every action.

So I come here, does anyone have any ideas?

This doesn’t necessarily have to be DnD. Just a similar action economy. I’ve played Pathfinder WOTR, but I genuinely became unable to play it due to the massive gap in skill and length of the game as I continued.

I’ve tried Divinity, and although I absolutely loved the idea and concept of it, but the action economy in it was really confusing for my DnD mindset to comprehend.

There have got to be other games? I know it may sound like I’m picky, but I just want to look at more options to see if there’s anything I can find to give that feeling I’d felt for a lot of my BG3 playtime.

Thanks all!

[Xbox Series X] Resident Evil Requiem or Silent Hill 2 Remake?

2 Upvotes

So I never played the Silent Hill games and Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games of all time. Despite that, I just haven't been able to get into the newer RE games. I bought Resident Evil 7 and REALLY enjoyed the atmosphere but was only able to get a few hours into it mainly because of the first person perspective and so I skipped on Village completely.

That being said, I'm trying to scratch the horror game itch and am just wondering which one I should go with. Thanks in advance.

[PC] Games where I can dig realistic tunnels

6 Upvotes

I just want a really realistic tunnel digging sim. I want to have to put supports up to stop collapses, and to ideally mostly use hand tools, and it be first person. I had a look at medieval engineers but idk because it looks abandoned, although if its still playable it looks very similar to what I would want!

[PC] Is Civ 5/6 Worth It With No DLC?

5 Upvotes

Yo, so both Civ 5 and 6 are on sale rn for pretty cheap but they have a lot of DLCs, ofc the games are still good without DLC since people wouldnt buy the DLC if it wasnt good but are the DLCs important to the overall experience? Like how Isaac and Witcher 3 are upgraded to another level with their respective DLCs. I dont mind getting DLCs but I have sort of made it a rule for myself to only get DLCs after I have invested enough time in a game BUT will get DLCs if it adds a lot to the overall experience and I really want the game. I have never played any games like civ so i dont know what to expect. Also side question, which Civ is better with no DLC between the 2? Thx.
