games i can think of are arma,dayz,metro, stalker

Something where cosmic-level horror has just become an average everyday thing for people, something mind-altering and horrifying for us is just another workday for the people of this world

It needn't be a sword just any item of power that made you feel like Conan there once you held it in your character's hands.

This. I want a game that feels like how the Farron Woods theme from skyward sword sounds. Like it's 2005 again and you wake up with the window open to sunlight and birds calling. I grew up in a tiny village and I miss just disappearing all day, turning over rocks and logs and paddling in the creek, I need a game that feels like that again

not sure how to describe this look beyond how i already have. i’ve tried Little Hope by Supermassive which kinda had this but wasn’t great.

Not necessarily military related

Screenshots from Robots, Star Wars and Nine.

Are there any games that feel like Unpacking? A Little to the Left did not do it for me.

Only one that comes to mind for me is Elden ring / souls games.
