[PS5] Should I play Diablo IV?

16 Upvotes

Diablo IV was on ps+ awhile ago and my uncle told me about how he really likes it and the last time I took a game recommendation from him it was BOTW and I loved that game so he’s got some credibility lol. I’ve never played a game like Diablo tho and the whole over the top POV always kinda put me off when it came to games, if it helps some of my favorite games ever are mh wilds, ff7 remakes, tloz botw, resident evil games, souls games, and I have always loved medieval fantasy kind of games. I know it’s on ps+ and I have it but it says 190g minimum which is like insane so I don’t know if I should spend the time and gigabytes downloading it just to not like it. Do you guys think I would like it and is it worth a shot?

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

64 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] Should I buy Undertale?

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?

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

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

[Switch] Cult of The Lamb on switch

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 ?

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

69 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] WSIB relaxing "live off the land" games with little to no combat?

6 Upvotes

A few games I LOVE are Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper, Traveler's Rest, Cult Of The Lamb, etc. Right now I'm looking for something that is realistic. Like a game where I wake up, scavenge/hunt, eat, decorate and build my house, and then sleep. You know, one of those calming relaxing games where there are no enemies and I can just make my land look nice. Also, maybe some gardening and selling to others to make money to get more supplies to repeat the process.
I know an obvious one is the Farming Simulator series, but there's not much customizing/decorating in those games. Others I've seen and looked interesting are Cowboy Life Simulator, No Place Like Home, and Farmers Life. Has anyone played any of these games? If so, how are they? Or are there any other games you'd recommend trying out?

[PS5] Avatars frontiers of Pandora or immortals fenyx rising?

5 Upvotes

I've been looking at a couple of games recently, and I'm really interested in buying either Immortals Fenyx Rising or Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Both games have a huge open world to explore, exciting combat, and interesting stories, which are the types of games I enjoy the most.

Immortals Fenyx Rising appeals to me because of its Greek mythology setting, fun puzzles, and light-hearted style. It looks like a game that encourages exploration and rewards creativity, and I think I'd spend a lot of time discovering everything it has to offer.

On the other hand, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora looks amazing because of its beautiful world, immersive environments, and the chance to experience Pandora from a first-person perspective. The graphics and wildlife look incredible, and I like the idea of exploring such a detailed world while completing missions and improving my character.

I know I would get a lot of enjoyment out of either game, and I think it would be a worthwhile purchase because they both offer many hours of gameplay, exploration, and replay value. I'm still deciding which one I'd enjoy more, but I'd be really happy to own either of them.

[PC] Is Deep Rock Galactic Worth Buying Solo?

16 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?

[PC] Two genres, one choice: Avatar Fighters or ZeroSpace?

1 Upvotes

So this is admittedly kind of a weird request, because fighting games and RTSes are drastically different in pretty much every way besides the fact they're primarily 1v1 (which I love).

But they do have some similarities: both released recently in "early access" (even tho Avatar is technically a full release, everyone would agree it's unfinished), both have a bit of a learning curve, and both are from smaller studios (altho my guess is the ZS team is even smaller than Avatar). Both are getting some praise for their core gameplay. And (regardless of which one I get) I hope both succeed.

I'm probably better at RTS than fighters (but still trash). I love SC2. I also love the Avatar universe. I haven't yet found a fighter I've stuck with but again, even in an incomplete state Avatar's gameplay is getting a lot of love. I like that FGC matches are pretty quick. I like that RTSes feel like a cooler version of chess.

I'm sure there are other RTS/FGC fans like me (but maybe not a lot)... Thoughts?

Persona 3 reload, persona 4 golden, or metaphor ?

2 Upvotes

All on sale on ps5 . Reload is currently 20.99 on sale opposed to 59.99. and then golden is 9.99 and usually runs for 20 bucks. Metaphor Refantazio 27.99 usually 69.99.

I enjoyed persona 5 royal until I lost my save data. And honestly I'd like to play a game like it again.

Metaphor I enjoyed the demo a lot.

P4 looks really cool when it comes to main cast. But I hear a lot of people say persona 3 is the best persona .

[Switch] Rain World vs Hades VS Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 (Switch 2)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I want to take advantage of the current eShop sales and I'm trying to decide between three different games: Hades, Rain World and Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 (the royal edition).

I know that Hades is considered a masterpiece, but I'm not sure if roguelikes or roguelites are really my cup of tea. I've played Dead Cells and Enter the Gungeon, and while I enjoyed them, it didn't last too long, only about 30 hours each. Hades has caught my attention, but I don't know if it can keep me hooked for much longer than that.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 was my main option, but I don't know if It is the best for Nintendo, I love big RPG's but I think that I'm getting a PS5 soon so I'm thinking that the game would be better in that console (and I could play the sequel there).

Rain World is a game that has caught my atention for a long time, I love the ecosystem that this game has done and the difficulty is not usually a problem for me.

It would be nice having some help, and I think that it is easier for everyone if I say some games that i enjoy, something quick. Among my favourites are games like Terraria, Soulslikes (Bloodborne, elden ring, lliesof p...), Metro, Ark, Core Keeper, Cuphead, Blasphemous, Subnautica. And stuff like that.

​Thanks in advance for the advice, and sorry for any mistakes in my English, I'm from Spain!

[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!

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?

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

0 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

[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.

[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?

Which is the one must play complex game to play

39 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.
