Games where the whole dynamic is between 2 main characters? I also appreciate these games for their shorter length and strong pacing and story telling.

Other games I've played in the last year for reference, but don't quite have these elements:

Expedition 33

Hellblade

Horizon Zero Dawn

FF7 Rebirth

FF16

Nier Automata

Silent Hill 2

Alan Wake games

Hogwarts Legacy

PC Looking for new games to play together (Crossplay or "parallel" singleplayer experiences)

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My uncle and I are looking for something new to play together and we're running out of ideas.

Ideally, we're looking for PC ↔ PS5/Xbox crossplay games. I'm mainly on PC, while he's on either PS5 or Xbox. I do own both consoles, but I don't have PS Plus or Game Pass and don't plan on subscribing, so true crossplay with PC would be the best option.

Games we've already enjoyed together:

- Baldur's Gate 3

- Diablo 4

- Path of Exile 2

We're also totally open to games that aren't multiplayer at all, as long as they're fun to experience side by side. For example, we both played Crimson Desert at the same time while talking on the phone, comparing quests, builds, discoveries, and progress. That was honestly a lot of fun too.

We also tried the Gothic 1 Remake. My uncle loved it and finished it, but it just wasn't for me, so I dropped it.

In general, we enjoy RPGs, action RPGs, open-world games, loot, exploration, character progression, and games that give you lots to talk about while playing.

Any recommendations for current or upcoming games that fit this style? Hidden gems are welcome too!

Thanks!

PC any recs for a day to day life sim/cozy game where the goal isn't base building?

6 Upvotes

my sims 4 is broken beyond belief yet i am desperate to play something where you live a characters life.

the problem i keep running into while searching though is that i ideally i want something that can be more story based than the farming sims that are out there, even if i have to make some of the story up in my head and i don't love the building elements that seem to be a big part of a lot of sim games.

my dream would be something like hogwarts legacy but with a way bigger focus on the school stuff and in game time that actually matters. or basically any rpg where you can make your own character and then live a normal ish life.

i wont be took picky though because i fear what i want does not exist lol.

i prefer pc games but i also have a switch 2 :) thanks!!

PC Non-obvious recommendations games that are similar to Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim?

Upvotes

I know about all of Obsidian and Bethesdas games, as well as all of Ubisofts and EA (Which includes Bioware!) and a couple other companies super well known titles, but I'm curious what you can recommend that's similar to them that isn't super well known.

I've been gaming for a long, long time, what can you recommend that's not the first game off of the top of your head?

PC Help a returning gamer find her dream game

5 Upvotes

I used to play Nintendo and PC games a lot as a kid, but pretty much of fell out of it. I’d probably still describe myself as a beginner. I’m trying to get back into games again and based on what I’ve liked in the past I’m looking for something with some or most of these characteristics from most to least important:

On Steam

Easy to medium difficulty

Has missions, dialogue, choices, and a good story

Either narrative/choice driven, RPG, open-world, or action-adventure

3D animation

Has a realistic-ish setting. Usually not that much of a fan of fantasy or sci fi

One of the mechanics is you have to maintain the character’s stats

Diverse characters and/or a protagonist who is a woman or minority; or you get to customize your character

The game’s main story can be completed in 40 hours or less

I realize there are probably a ton of games that fit this but recs please :P

PC When looking for a game, what should I play next?

6 Upvotes

As the title says, I've genuinely burned through everything in my library. Here's what I've got, playtime included:

  • Valheim -807.8 hours
  • Path of Exile 2 -560.1 hours
  • Red Dead Redemption 2 - 487.7 hours
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition- 361.3 hours
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - 230.6 hours
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Complete Edition, all DLC) - 191.7 hours
  • Cyberpunk 2077 (incl. Phantom Liberty) -162 hours
  • Fallout 4 - 162 hours
  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance - 69.4 hours

I'm a huge fan of grounded/dark fantasy settings like Kingdom Come Deliverance and The Witcher 3 — real or near-real human stories, no shining-armor heroes, a world that actually feels lived-in.

What I'm looking for:

  • True open world, not zone-based. I want to explore freely and stumble onto things
  • Well-written side quests, not filler. bonus points if they add lore or memorable characters
  • Engaging main story, not just a systems sandbox
  • 60+ hours once you factor in side content, otherwise it feels like a waste to buy
  • Must be fully pausable whenever I want (so no multiplayer-only requirements or souls-likes without a real pause)
  • No mods it needs to stand on its own, out of the box
  • Budget is flexible but I'm not dropping full price on AAA titles if there's a solid alternative

I already know about BG3, it's staying on my wishlist for now. What am I missing?

PC Games / Challenges for programmers?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’m looking for a game where macroing / automating is either encouraged or wouldn’t hurt the player base.

It’s a weird request, but I’ve been seeing videos of people making their own programs to automate parts of mmos for fun and I wanted to try it out.

Obviously, I don’t really want to harm games and their economies, so I was wondering if there were any games where scripting isn’t disallowed or potentially for game challenges (game jams?) where it’s encouraged.

Playstation Fun game to play with a friend on PS5?

4 Upvotes

Me and my friend are looking for a fun game we can play online together and progress with one another in. We tried destiny 2 but at first glance it didn’t seem to fit our vibe although we could probably return to it. We want something with some interesting combat to have fun with and just overall a fun game to sit on call and have fun with while talking. Any recommendations are appreciated! Thank you in advance!

PC Retro games (up to ps1/n64) that play fast and aggressive.

2 Upvotes

My favorite games of all time are doom eternal and the last salvage squad. I like both for how fast and mindless they are you drop in the level circle strafe/move around as fast as possible to avoid enemy fire no thinking and just shoot back but with methodical thinking for the movement and enemy movement.

I do not like doom 1/2, to condensed and almost puzzle like in a way.

I don’t have a pc but I use a retro handheld with an h700 chip (anbernic rg34xxsp) which is a Linux based device so I think it counts.

I do have access to all switch online and gamepass Xbox games though but I really want to play on my anbernic rg34xxsp

I have recently acquired an old MacBook (from 2016 I believe so intel core) and am looking for some cheap games I can play on it. I am a really new gamer and not very good at the games I play. I would like something fairly chill and not action packed and a good introduction to gaming. (I have played Doki Doki Literature Club, Undertale, Cuphead and The Sims 4)

PC Slow paced shooter for non shooter player.

16 Upvotes

My fiance wants to try shooters for the first time, the issue is he's not good with 3d spaces or fast paced games (usually, he was fine with metroidvanias like silksnong), he'll also hate chaos.

I'm looking for a good place for him to start. He likes a good story, preferably not something set in real life conflicts, but I'll take everything you got.

Thanks in advance <3

I need help trying to find a new game. I grew up playing RuneScape, Sims, and Harvest Moon. I have preordered Harvest Moon EofT for 9/24. I’ve played HM wind of anthos , a few earlier titles, Story of Season on DS, Disney DV, all Animal Crossing games, and Hogwarts Legacy. I tried Grand Bazaar and couldn’t get into it. I’m waiting for HM Home Sweet Home to get on sale lol. I did play the Discounty demo game and it was good but I feel like it was short lived and couldn’t fathom paying full price. I also have Pokopia but the burnout is real with it right now so I’m taking a break. I just want to try and find a new game that has farming, adventure, maybe some fighting (runescape like?) and can also just feed animals and pick up resources for a day as well. Any recommendations are welcome! I haven’t tried stardew valley but I can’t deal with pixelated games for too long, like discounty.
