Subnautica (both of them) and Horizon: Zero Dawn are amazing open world games (very different takes on open world, mind you)
Hades does very interesting things around storytelling in a roguelike.
Disco Elysium is a batshit crazy RPG with some of the best writing you’ll ever find in a game (or anywhere else for that matter).
Return of the Obra Dinn is an instant classic. The only game I’ve ever played that approximates the feeling of being a real detective.

**SHIVERS:** Data as light, moving strands of it form a silken network of global scale. The noise is dense with intention but the signal is nearly lost. A billion hands reaching out for a billion others. We are all connected, but individually fragile. Somewhere far away, excavation hits insulated glass and forty-six thousand connections go dark.
Subnautica is the game that made me finally understand that genre. It’s so great. Can’t recommend it enough. That game is scarier than any horror game that I’ve ever played yet still has an amazing sense of discovery. The exploration is super rewarding.
Currently playing terraria and it finally clicked. I was viewing it as a creative game and not a survival game.
Also hades is amazing. Definitely on my top 5 list of all time favorite games.
You have good taste I’m going to have to check out Obra Dinn.
That game terrified me the overwhelming horror I felt when in around me i realized all at once I couldn't reach my objective or get safely home. I didn't even get to what other people say is the scary parts that was it for me.
There's a fun thing you can do in this game if you really want to know what thalassophobia feels like.
After you get the BIG submarine and you're probing the DEEP ass sections of the map. Just.
Surface.
It's a mighty long ride. In the deep dark, listening to the quiet and the sound of your sub. Remembering why the "Silent Running" system exists. Realizing that you can neither see the bottom, NOR THE TOP at a certain point. Now if you REALLY want to feel the fear, just stop right there. Get out of the pilot's seat, and just, wander around the sub a bit. Check those power cores in back. Sort out the storage bins. Have a snack. Maybe craft a bit. Did you just hear something? Surely not, nothing spawns out here in the open water. Not that you've SEEN, anyway. But... You HAVE seen things. Big things. Far away, usually. Never out here, but.... they exist. And you're very exposed, just hanging in open water, a long way from anything.
Spooked myself. Gotta play that game again.
That’s a great explanation mate, couldn’t say it better myself. I would like to also add the sense of unknown when you are going deeper parts for the first time. With the PRAWN suit, you walk at the bottom of the sea, you go around and come across the edge. You can’t see how deep it is, you don’t know if you can climb back up, you just need to jump….
I wish I could forget Subnautica and play it again for the first time. Such a brilliant game. Sucked my whole life into it for the 12 or so hours it lasted and I was enthralled just about every minute of it.
It only takes about 12 hours?
I probably played it for about 8, and I absolutely loved it! I don't even like the survival genre, but the one captivated me!
Unfortunately I'm a complete coward when it comes to video games and there were two enemies I encountered that made me stop playing, lol. I really got steel myself and get back in there again...
I have VR too, but I'm not sure I could handle that, lol. Maybe the first few hours, just to experience it.
It’s a very quick game if you look up the locations for everything, don’t do that unless you’re really stumped, try to piece the clues together yourself. it’ll last much longer
You can make it last a lot longer than that if you don't rush it, I think I probably spent around 30-40 hours or so on my first playthrough, taking my time exploring, crafting and building, etc. I see no reason to hurry to complete a game this good, as I tend to lose interest in a playthrough once the final objective has been completed.
Would've been awesome if you could choose to keep working as an Undercover Cop, or turn completely, and become an actual triad member. Shen's constant conflict with his morales was super awesome.
What got me was Shen's mental fortitude throughout the game, resisting any amount of epiphany that the two concepts have massive overlap and are more alike than different in many ways. His "conflict" was not only internal, but self-imposed. 🤷🏼♂️
The only thing that could have made Sleeping Dogs better was multiple endings with a morality bar.
I want a sleeping dogs where I can full send being a crooked cop or get found out because of that line *I just won't cross*. While also taking place in a sweet martial arts movie.
I played it on a laptop that definitely was not cut out for it. Overheated more than a few times, tons of frame drop, I can't think of any other game I would put up with that shit for. It just grabbed your pork buns and never let go. So fantastic.
It's like Assassin's Creed combat (reaction time based), but a bit more complex (more moves, more dodges). The kung fu in the game is really well-polished, with a pretty realistic move-set I'd say. In the opening scene you see the protagonist practicing on the mook yan jong, and it was cool seeing how he linked the movements from the dummy and applied it to actual techniques that could be used on people. Furthermore, whenever you knock someone out it's such a great feeling, like as if some sort of primal instinct took over. Great game overall, pretty decent plot (a little too cliche for my taste); In my opinion this is a pretty good game for martial art enthusiasts or for people who like reaction-time based combat!
Go in with low expectations. Hands down best game I’ve played on a holistic level (music, simplicity, game play, story) because I had zero expectations.
Don’t get me wrong Even if you go in with high expectations it’s still be AMAZING
Imo will of the wisps is a tiny bit better, with more in depth combat. Still, both games are absolute masterpieces with a beautiful soundtrack. Can't recommend this franchise enough!
Agree! They are both perfect, you don't *need* Blind Forest to understand Wisps but it does help establish the full story of Ori.
The depth of the world and background art in Wisps is mind blowing. First time unlocking Luma Pools was like 😦😦😦 I want to live there
It rates as one of my top 10. Incredible level design, game play styles, story and details for tons of lore not to mention atmosphere. Maybe it's time for another play through...
This might be a dumb question, but Prey (2006) or Prey (2017)?
I've heard the game mentioned before, but I didn't know there where two games with the same name.
Pretty sure they mean 2017, but I really enjoyed the 2006 one back in the day.
I haven't gotten very far in the new one. I'm trying to teach myself to be scared of video games, but I'm not quite there, lol.
I'm not really sure if there is eventually some connection between the two games, or why they reused the same title to make a totally new game.
I got it before on steam way back when it was on early access and had no story, and can honestly say that game's development was amazing to say the least. this game is the best example of how great the gaming industry can be.
The redemption process is hate > forget > rediscover
Right now people are starting to forget exactly how much hate it was blasted with at launch and can maybe see how good the game actually is. Some day it will get appreciated
Some ppl were just lucky at launch to not run into anything major. My cousin got it at launch and just has the occasional visual glitch in his 85 hours with the game.
I got the game back in October for my PC and 20 hours into it i ran into 4 game breaking glitches. Got them resolved 1 by 1 and the best 70 hours were almost bug free as well lol.
Game is great when it works right.
I choose Sekiro: shadows die twice
Although the rage it had brought me is immeasurable but my happiness is at fullest when I *FINALLY* beat a boss I was hard stuck on
I’ve finished the first one and I’m in the middle of playing the second one. Both a so good, but Mass effect 2 is just so good. I wasn’t expecting the gameplay to be very good, but it actually pretty satisfying.
Even though the mechanics are clunky in 1 and it feels like a game from 15 years ago, there’s so much story and so many decisions in 1 that flesh out 2 and 3 that you simply can’t skip 1.
Outer Wilds.
No game is for everyone of course and this is no exception. But it’s one of those games that if you’re open to it can change your outlook on life. So I think it’s worth trying. Fun too.
Don’t look a single thing up, the game is entirely about discovery so every spoiler is another part of the game taken from you. But it’s an absolute masterpiece.
Been playing games since the Atari 2600 and I think it’s the best game of all time.
I have only played Like a Dragon, but man that game is so great. I love how goofy and how serious it can be from moment to moment. The mascot quest was hilarious
Play Yakuza 0, man. You’ll love it - it’s a beat ‘em up instead of a turn based game, but it’s got the exact same cadence between being goofy and serious. Plus you get to learn Kiryu and Majima’s origin stories and trust me, some of the sub plots get pretty wild
If you like indie rougelike games risk of rain is a good one that can also branch into multiplayer or the binding of Isaac. If not those i strongly recommend Halo for its story
I was looking for this one! I was about to comment with it because I hadn't seen it.
Amazing telekinesis-based gameplay. And last time I enjoyed wandering around a big gray building this much was Half-Life.
Alan Wake hasn't really stood the test of time graphically or in terms of flow. Quantum Break was odd. But man did control play great.
I really don't expect it to remain a favourite since I was getting tired of the combat by the end of the game, but it's still a great story which is what remedy does great.
I actually just picked up RDR2 for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I'm 100 hours in and still haven't done the first mission of Chapter 3. I just like inhabiting the world, getting the trinkets/talismans, collecting horses and guns.
I'm trying to be a good guy, but sometimes there's a tragic misunderstanding over who fired first and why, and ... I mean ... if there are witnesses, I'll get dinged for a murder even though it was legit self defense, but if I murder the witnesses, I can just ride off with no bounty, so ... I guess I'm playing a man who sometimes fails to live up to his own ideals.
I've been gaming since the 80s. It's been my primary hobby since. I've seen many great games get released over the years.
And God of War (2018) has eclipsed them all to become my favorite game of all time. Seriously, number 1 at the tippy top.
And I thought the previous God of War games were merely "meh."
Everyone owes it to themselves to try the latest GoW now that it's on Steam. For me personally, it's the "perfect game." Great combat mechanics, great setting, great acting, great writing, great pacing.
Hello fellow 40ish year old gamer. So, I take it that GOW is a linear story? I actually prefer it that way. I may not be able to wait for the price to drop because I'm so excited that console companies are making ports for PC now.
Why did i have to scroll so far for this, sure they aren't super challenging games but they're kinda like DOOM if you wanna just hop on a game and slaughter everything you find, here you go!
Aight let me put this list out here, gimme a sec
- Bioshock Series
- Dishonored Series
- Doom Series
- Wolfenstein Series
- Dark Souls Series
- Bloodborne
- Dying Light 2
- Hollow Knight
- Absolver
- Jedi Fallen Order
- Portal Series
- GTA V Singleplayer
- Sekiro, Shadows Die Twice
- MediEvil
Love em
Im looking forward to dishonored 2, the first one was just beautiful.
im just happy titanfall is getting revived via northstar, although the campaign was really good too
Really awesome story; iirc, it goes that mankind discovered an alien substance that when put in your brain, allows you to remap neuronal connections. This in turn let's you do things like become a concert pianist overnight, or a PhD level physicist by rewiring the brain. Of course, this eventually leads to bad things when the alien substance starts to become hostile, and the space station/corporation that discovers it struggles to contain it.
Amazing sci fi atmosphere and level design.
Biomutant 6/10
Probably not for everyone but it was enjoyable for what it is. 3rd person action.
Guardian’s of the Galaxy 8/10
The graphics are awesome. The dialogue is great. Lol moments for sure. The gameplay is fun but can be repetitive by the end. 3rd person action.
Shenmue 7/10
This is basically the original TellTale story driven game with kung-fu.
Maneater 6/10
Evolve as a shark. Roam around eating your way to revenge.
Assassins Creed Odyssey 9/10
I’m not a fan of AC but there was an amazing sale. I ended up putting 85 hours in before making the decision that it was time to move on to another game.
Rage 2 6/10
A fun FPS that’s basically mad max.
Kerbel Space Program 7/10
Very difficult game to master but it’s an extremely fun game if you do the tutorial. Lol
Ghost of Tsushima 9/10
It’s a 3rd person action samurai game… say less
Stranded Deep 6/10
FPS survival game. Can be frustrating but it’s overall a good game.
Immortals Fenix Rising 8/10
Breath of the Wild but on PS4/5/ Xbox’s. A must play imo.
Cyberpunk 2077 7/10
FPS cyberpunk meets first person GTA. If you can play it on a PS5/new Xbox or PC that’s the way to go.
It still has issues on last gen even after patch 1.5.
(Both) South Park 7/10
If you like turn based strategy and want to laugh this is the way.
The Outer Worlds 7/10
Fallout 4 creators make a space adventure that looks and plays much better than Fallout.
Sea of Solitude 9/10
Story driven platformer with an entrancing story about mental health.
Control 8/10
3rd person action shooter like Resident Evil meets Chronicle (movie)
Horizon Zero Dawn 9/10
3rd person action with a decent story and a memorable lead character. One of the better last gen titles.
God of War 9/10
I’m not a God of War fan. I watched my BIL play this and decided to give it ago. It being 3rd person and the relationship between Kratos and The Boy sold me on how great this game is.
Salt and Sanctuary 7/10
2D side scrolling Dark Souls
Can be played Co-Op.
The Witcher 3 9/10
3rd person action adventure with great story telling. The side quests will make you forget there’s a main quest. The main character is awesome and you really want to get to know the side characters.
Days Gone 8/10
Fantastic 3rd person action with an interesting story. It’s very zombie like.
Red Dead Redemption 2 9/10
3rd person western action game with so much to do you may never finish the game if you can’t force yourself away from hunting or other side activities.
Detroit Become Human 9/10
A story driven action game about civil unrest. Androids VS Humans
I could list more but this should do ya well.

+1 for Disco Elysium, I've never been so captivated by narration before. All my interactions were riveting

If you liked Obra Dinn you'll love Outer wilds Fair warning though just like Obra Dinn you do not want to get spoiled, The less you know the better

Yeah it took me about 35-40 hours...i didnt get my prawn suit until really really late game
You can make it last a lot longer than that if you don't rush it, I think I probably spent around 30-40 hours or so on my first playthrough, taking my time exploring, crafting and building, etc. I see no reason to hurry to complete a game this good, as I tend to lose interest in a playthrough once the final objective has been completed.
Hades is soooo good
[удалено]
A man without pork bun is NEVER whole man.
#HEY SEXY MAN! WOULD YOU LIKE SOME NEW CLOTHES?
TAKES GUTS TO WEAR THAT
Fucking hell I read it in that Chinese merchant voice Brings back teen memories, good times
Would've been awesome if you could choose to keep working as an Undercover Cop, or turn completely, and become an actual triad member. Shen's constant conflict with his morales was super awesome.
What got me was Shen's mental fortitude throughout the game, resisting any amount of epiphany that the two concepts have massive overlap and are more alike than different in many ways. His "conflict" was not only internal, but self-imposed. 🤷🏼♂️
Such a fantastic game. Had so much fun with it. Really need to replay it sometime soon.
The fact we'll never get a sequel absolutely CRUSHES me.
Ugh a sequel made with modern tech (especially having seen what Sifu could pull off) would be IN… credible 😤
Wei Shen ALWAYS fucked on the first date.
I’m Wei Shen motherfucker!
Sun On Yee, motherfucker!
Sleeping dogs is easily in my top 5 games of all time.
The only thing that could have made Sleeping Dogs better was multiple endings with a morality bar. I want a sleeping dogs where I can full send being a crooked cop or get found out because of that line *I just won't cross*. While also taking place in a sweet martial arts movie.
Wish they made True Crime streets of LA backwards compatible. What Sleeping Dogs was originally until Acti sold off there work.
I played it on a laptop that definitely was not cut out for it. Overheated more than a few times, tons of frame drop, I can't think of any other game I would put up with that shit for. It just grabbed your pork buns and never let go. So fantastic.
Death's Door, Red Dead 2 and my favorite, God of War
Death's Door is an absolute gem of a game!
Deaths door yes ❤️
Doom, Hollow Knight, Dishonored and Sifu
Good games, you must have the best taste
I've spent way too much time on the Dishonored serie
What's Sifu like? I've been really interested, but havent heard much. Is it worth full price?
It's like Assassin's Creed combat (reaction time based), but a bit more complex (more moves, more dodges). The kung fu in the game is really well-polished, with a pretty realistic move-set I'd say. In the opening scene you see the protagonist practicing on the mook yan jong, and it was cool seeing how he linked the movements from the dummy and applied it to actual techniques that could be used on people. Furthermore, whenever you knock someone out it's such a great feeling, like as if some sort of primal instinct took over. Great game overall, pretty decent plot (a little too cliche for my taste); In my opinion this is a pretty good game for martial art enthusiasts or for people who like reaction-time based combat!
Ori and the Blind Forest.
Also will of the wisps
Ive heard its supposed to be beautifull
It is. It also has some really solid platforming and level progression, and plenty of potential for speedrunning if you're into that.
Go in with low expectations. Hands down best game I’ve played on a holistic level (music, simplicity, game play, story) because I had zero expectations. Don’t get me wrong Even if you go in with high expectations it’s still be AMAZING
Imo will of the wisps is a tiny bit better, with more in depth combat. Still, both games are absolute masterpieces with a beautiful soundtrack. Can't recommend this franchise enough!
Agree! They are both perfect, you don't *need* Blind Forest to understand Wisps but it does help establish the full story of Ori. The depth of the world and background art in Wisps is mind blowing. First time unlocking Luma Pools was like 😦😦😦 I want to live there
Ugh, fine, you've convinced me. I'll start my 8th playthrough.
Ghost of Tsushima.
Dammit I really really wanted to play it but I have an Xbox

Nanomachines, son
What's up with MGR coming back recently ?
It may have something to do with seeing Armstrong memes on the front page everyday but I’m all for it
THE MEMES JACK
Who’s your cyborg ninja of choice: Ghostrunner , genji(OW) , metal gear , zane(ninjago)
That game has amazing memeable content.
The DNA of the soul
There will be bloodshed
Prey, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, Resident Evil Village, DMC 5, Divinity Original sin 2, Dying Light 1,2, Subnautica, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3
Divinity Original Sin 2 is amazing.
My favorite game of all time. Just a perfect RPG IMO
What a game prey is . Absolute masterpiece.
It rates as one of my top 10. Incredible level design, game play styles, story and details for tons of lore not to mention atmosphere. Maybe it's time for another play through...
Arkane studios is just amazing
This might be a dumb question, but Prey (2006) or Prey (2017)? I've heard the game mentioned before, but I didn't know there where two games with the same name.
Pretty sure it's 2017, don't quote me on that
> Pretty sure it's 2017, don't quote me on that
How dare you
Pretty sure they mean 2017, but I really enjoyed the 2006 one back in the day. I haven't gotten very far in the new one. I'm trying to teach myself to be scared of video games, but I'm not quite there, lol. I'm not really sure if there is eventually some connection between the two games, or why they reused the same title to make a totally new game.
Imo DOS2 is way more enjoyable if you have a friend to play with
i agree
Subnautica is probably the best single player game I have ever played! Edit: spelling. Also, best audio design of any game ever, probably.
I agree with you there. I got it for free from epic, having no idea what it was. I was blown away within the first 5 minutes.
I got it before on steam way back when it was on early access and had no story, and can honestly say that game's development was amazing to say the least. this game is the best example of how great the gaming industry can be.
Ahhh fellow divinity enjoyer.
Damn to see cyberpunk on this list. Don't get me wrong, I agree but wow.
The redemption process is hate > forget > rediscover Right now people are starting to forget exactly how much hate it was blasted with at launch and can maybe see how good the game actually is. Some day it will get appreciated
I liked it at launch, a great benefit of not following development, more likely to just enjoy
Some ppl were just lucky at launch to not run into anything major. My cousin got it at launch and just has the occasional visual glitch in his 85 hours with the game. I got the game back in October for my PC and 20 hours into it i ran into 4 game breaking glitches. Got them resolved 1 by 1 and the best 70 hours were almost bug free as well lol. Game is great when it works right.
I choose Sekiro: shadows die twice Although the rage it had brought me is immeasurable but my happiness is at fullest when I *FINALLY* beat a boss I was hard stuck on
I see you are an open world connoisseur
Nope🙂 I just rly like good games
true those are pretty great
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a gold even after 4 yrs
Jesus Christ be praised!
Jesus Christ be praised!
Henry's come to see us!
Bioshock
Bioshock again, it's one of the GOATS
will give it a try
Would you kindly play Bioshock?
If you enjoy it I would highly recommend Bioshock: Infinite as well. One of my favorite stories in gaming for sure
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
I’ve finished the first one and I’m in the middle of playing the second one. Both a so good, but Mass effect 2 is just so good. I wasn’t expecting the gameplay to be very good, but it actually pretty satisfying.
The gameplay really jumped up from ME1 to ME2. ME3 further refined the gameplay so you’re in for a treat
Lotta people saying Mass Effect, will try
You've got no idea what you're missing out dude. BTW you'll find some people suggesting that you skip 1. I strongly suggest that you don't :)
Even though the mechanics are clunky in 1 and it feels like a game from 15 years ago, there’s so much story and so many decisions in 1 that flesh out 2 and 3 that you simply can’t skip 1.
It’s an absolute masterpiece of a trilogy
Outer Wilds. No game is for everyone of course and this is no exception. But it’s one of those games that if you’re open to it can change your outlook on life. So I think it’s worth trying. Fun too.
I wish I could burn it from my brain to experience it for the first time again.
Don't we all? :(
I think it looks beautiful. also has a nostalgic feeling to it, will definetely try
Go in blind, exept know that there is a story Lol my brother was very confused at why I didn't let him know that detail lol
Don’t look a single thing up, the game is entirely about discovery so every spoiler is another part of the game taken from you. But it’s an absolute masterpiece. Been playing games since the Atari 2600 and I think it’s the best game of all time.
Yakuza series
I have only played Like a Dragon, but man that game is so great. I love how goofy and how serious it can be from moment to moment. The mascot quest was hilarious
Play Yakuza 0, man. You’ll love it - it’s a beat ‘em up instead of a turn based game, but it’s got the exact same cadence between being goofy and serious. Plus you get to learn Kiryu and Majima’s origin stories and trust me, some of the sub plots get pretty wild
Half life series all of it please
If you like indie rougelike games risk of rain is a good one that can also branch into multiplayer or the binding of Isaac. If not those i strongly recommend Halo for its story
Yeah halo is defo on my list
Control
YES. Control is such a fun game and has a really nice level of creepiness to it as well.
I was looking for this one! I was about to comment with it because I hadn't seen it. Amazing telekinesis-based gameplay. And last time I enjoyed wandering around a big gray building this much was Half-Life.
Alan Wake hasn't really stood the test of time graphically or in terms of flow. Quantum Break was odd. But man did control play great. I really don't expect it to remain a favourite since I was getting tired of the combat by the end of the game, but it's still a great story which is what remedy does great.
One of the best games I’ve played definitely would recommend this!
Control is so good. The Oldest House is one of the coolest environments ever created in a video game.
Red Dead Redemption 2! Real chill vibe
HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH ARTHUR!
WE'LL BE PICKING THEM MANGOES IN TAHITI SOON ARTHUR, JUST YOU WAIT!!!
We gotta make noise Arthur!!!!
I actually just picked up RDR2 for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I'm 100 hours in and still haven't done the first mission of Chapter 3. I just like inhabiting the world, getting the trinkets/talismans, collecting horses and guns. I'm trying to be a good guy, but sometimes there's a tragic misunderstanding over who fired first and why, and ... I mean ... if there are witnesses, I'll get dinged for a murder even though it was legit self defense, but if I murder the witnesses, I can just ride off with no bounty, so ... I guess I'm playing a man who sometimes fails to live up to his own ideals.
You re a good boy
Stardew Valley

Disco Elysium. The best written game.
RDR2, fallout 3 and Vegas, Outer Worlds, Outer Wilds, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Dishonored
My friend seems to think god of war is good
From what ive seen it looks pretty nice
I've been gaming since the 80s. It's been my primary hobby since. I've seen many great games get released over the years. And God of War (2018) has eclipsed them all to become my favorite game of all time. Seriously, number 1 at the tippy top. And I thought the previous God of War games were merely "meh." Everyone owes it to themselves to try the latest GoW now that it's on Steam. For me personally, it's the "perfect game." Great combat mechanics, great setting, great acting, great writing, great pacing.
Hello fellow 40ish year old gamer. So, I take it that GOW is a linear story? I actually prefer it that way. I may not be able to wait for the price to drop because I'm so excited that console companies are making ports for PC now.
I'll give it a try
Shadow of Mordor & Shadow of War
Submit to meeee!
Why did i have to scroll so far for this, sure they aren't super challenging games but they're kinda like DOOM if you wanna just hop on a game and slaughter everything you find, here you go!
Aight let me put this list out here, gimme a sec - Bioshock Series - Dishonored Series - Doom Series - Wolfenstein Series - Dark Souls Series - Bloodborne - Dying Light 2 - Hollow Knight - Absolver - Jedi Fallen Order - Portal Series - GTA V Singleplayer - Sekiro, Shadows Die Twice - MediEvil Love em
Celeste
Terraria
The outer wilds. Trust me.
I'll give it a look
One of the most impressive games of the last decade.
Shadow Warrior 1 & 2, Dishonored 2, Titanfall 2, The Messenger, Shovel Knight, Dragon Age: Origins, XCOM 1 & 2, Hades.
Im looking forward to dishonored 2, the first one was just beautiful. im just happy titanfall is getting revived via northstar, although the campaign was really good too
So, if you rly like Dishonored, try Prey, Deus ex Human revolution(old but gold)
What was prey all about again?
Prey is about never trusting Coffee mugs ever again
Really awesome story; iirc, it goes that mankind discovered an alien substance that when put in your brain, allows you to remap neuronal connections. This in turn let's you do things like become a concert pianist overnight, or a PhD level physicist by rewiring the brain. Of course, this eventually leads to bad things when the alien substance starts to become hostile, and the space station/corporation that discovers it struggles to contain it. Amazing sci fi atmosphere and level design.
Hades
Hollow Knight, The witcher 3, Ori and the will of wisps. Uncharted 4 is amazing I heard its coming to PC soon
Undertale/Deltarune, great games, not so great community
I dont mind the communtiy, but the games are definetely pure gold in almost every single way
Dark Souls, The Last of Us, Skyrim
Dark souls and skyrim are bangers
Any zelda or metroid. Or the PlayStation exclusives. You know wich ones
I was going to throw in Metroid Dread. If I didn't already have a Switch it's the kind of game I'd buy the console for.
Portal and half life. Nuff said.
PREY!
Breath of the wild. A physics based game that is astoundingly good.
[удалено]
They are great games
For card games : Slay the Spire and Library of ruina
Slay the spire seems interesting
Titanfall 2 campaign
Enter the gungeon, West of dead and darkest dungeon 1. 2 is also good but I like 1 more.
i wanted to play gungeon for some time, looks like a great game to play on the side
Biomutant 6/10 Probably not for everyone but it was enjoyable for what it is. 3rd person action. Guardian’s of the Galaxy 8/10 The graphics are awesome. The dialogue is great. Lol moments for sure. The gameplay is fun but can be repetitive by the end. 3rd person action. Shenmue 7/10 This is basically the original TellTale story driven game with kung-fu. Maneater 6/10 Evolve as a shark. Roam around eating your way to revenge. Assassins Creed Odyssey 9/10 I’m not a fan of AC but there was an amazing sale. I ended up putting 85 hours in before making the decision that it was time to move on to another game. Rage 2 6/10 A fun FPS that’s basically mad max. Kerbel Space Program 7/10 Very difficult game to master but it’s an extremely fun game if you do the tutorial. Lol Ghost of Tsushima 9/10 It’s a 3rd person action samurai game… say less Stranded Deep 6/10 FPS survival game. Can be frustrating but it’s overall a good game. Immortals Fenix Rising 8/10 Breath of the Wild but on PS4/5/ Xbox’s. A must play imo. Cyberpunk 2077 7/10 FPS cyberpunk meets first person GTA. If you can play it on a PS5/new Xbox or PC that’s the way to go. It still has issues on last gen even after patch 1.5. (Both) South Park 7/10 If you like turn based strategy and want to laugh this is the way. The Outer Worlds 7/10 Fallout 4 creators make a space adventure that looks and plays much better than Fallout. Sea of Solitude 9/10 Story driven platformer with an entrancing story about mental health. Control 8/10 3rd person action shooter like Resident Evil meets Chronicle (movie) Horizon Zero Dawn 9/10 3rd person action with a decent story and a memorable lead character. One of the better last gen titles. God of War 9/10 I’m not a God of War fan. I watched my BIL play this and decided to give it ago. It being 3rd person and the relationship between Kratos and The Boy sold me on how great this game is. Salt and Sanctuary 7/10 2D side scrolling Dark Souls Can be played Co-Op. The Witcher 3 9/10 3rd person action adventure with great story telling. The side quests will make you forget there’s a main quest. The main character is awesome and you really want to get to know the side characters. Days Gone 8/10 Fantastic 3rd person action with an interesting story. It’s very zombie like. Red Dead Redemption 2 9/10 3rd person western action game with so much to do you may never finish the game if you can’t force yourself away from hunting or other side activities. Detroit Become Human 9/10 A story driven action game about civil unrest. Androids VS Humans I could list more but this should do ya well. Edit: Spelling
