I'm looking for games that you can basically break/put on super easy mode by having an OP build or character. First example that comes to mind is when you get T. G. Cid in Final Fantasy Tactics.

My concerns about purchasing the game(s):

Games I've liked and why:

Games I've disliked and why:

I really like space games, some of my favourite games to play are Star Citizen and Starsector, and since i saw that No Man's Sky was on sale and i have enough money to buy, i was interested in getting it.

I was just curious on a couple thing about the game:

1. Is the game purely about exploring or are also questline to follow and important hubs to visit?
2. How grindy is the game? like do i need to spend a lot of time to gather materials to do stuff, or is that not so bad?

The only other Ubisoft game I’ve played is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and I genuinely enjoyed, having played four play throughs and almost 300 hours. It was the second game I really got into, despite all the hate for it (hate which is very similar to what I’m seeing now with AC Shadows). I’ve also played Ghost of Tsushima and thoroughly enjoyed it.

If it wasn’t clear, I’ve also never played any other AC game, but I have been following and waiting for Shadows since it was announced. It looks beautiful to me, and some of the mechanics seem right up my alley.

I’m also not a super “serious” gamer, as I don’t always have that much time on my hands, if that effects anything at all.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Edit: I should also mention that the critiques I’m seeing don’t bother me that much, besides maybe the story/voice acting issues. I have watched many reviews, as well, so I feel that I do know what is concerning people most and what they’re most excited about, but most reviews are coming from AC fans, so I’m unsure.

My favorite games have been KOTOR, Skyrim, and most Zelda games. I enjoyed playing Witcher and Fallout series. I’ve been craving sci-fi especially since I really wanted to play Starfield but can’t afford an Xbox. I’m a little turned off by party play but I felt the same way about KOTOR and ended up loving it. My favorite part of gameplay is usually harvesting, collecting armor, and unlocking areas on a map. Fighting is fun but it’s the least exciting part for me. Outlaws seems like a natural pick but I’ve heard such bad things. If you have another idea let me know, I have about 10 games favorited on my ps5 just can’t make up my mind.

To explain as well as I can, I've been trying for some time to find a very specific type of shooter, and it's very possible that I've already played everything close to it.

What I really am looking for is something between the slow pace of Squad or Arma, and the twitch-shooter of Call of Duty, Halo or Titanfall. In particular, I'm looking for something that makes your fights feel impactful or immersive, without having to spend twenty minutes walking (as much as I love Squad).

I'm also looking for something that is ideally single-player, but PvE works too.

Off the top of my head, the games that best match what I'm thinking of, is Insurgency: Sandstorm, particularly the 'hardcore' variants of their co-op matches, and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, with the 'Ghost mode' on, with everything possible turned off.

My drawbacks from those two games is that:

With Insurgency, you don't have a single-player only mode (afaik), and the population of the game doesn't make these modes that sustainable anymore. I have more minor grievances with it, that really comes down to it being repetitive.

With Breakpoint, the game feels really easy after a certain point, and there's not really reason to change up your weapons. The open-world aspect too makes it a little boring and it falls into the loop of 'walk around, shoot a few people at this base, unlock some new gloves'.

Some other games that I have tried but don't match what I'm looking for:

Hell Let Loose - Perhaps the one I'm the most open to 'trying again', although I'm not super big into big PvP shooters at the moment, or WW2 settings.

Ready or Not - Tried it, played it. It was fun enough, but couldn't hold me.

Six Days in Fallujah - I don't know if I'm missing something, but when I tried this game I absolutely hated it. The game was super clunky, and the weird History Channel-vibe gave me flashbacks to playing America's Army as a kid.

Just wondering if there are any modern PC games with an online co-op story mode, or if not a multiplayer story mode, are there any with game modes where you have goals to reach?

Or where there's a goal for both players, not just per player goal / just competing with each other? If there are any what modes do they have?

Or maybe if there are any like Skate 3, where you have a solo story mode, but you can host a challenge from the story mode in a multiplayer lobby and both players get the story rewards from the challenge?

Thanks!!

Question guys and gals. I’ve never played devil may cry 3. Only 1,2,4 and 5. 5 being one of my favorite games of all time. The HD collection is on sale on steam for $10. Should I cop or drop? I’m essentially buying it for 3 and I always hear it’s the best in the series. So…what do you guys think? Thanks!

So I have this cousin, and we'll be meeting soon, and I was wondering which games I could play with HER. She is like 16-18 yo, but I'm not sure. She's not into gaming but yk last time we had fun. We played, well, she played GTA V on my laptop. Could you tell me which games we should play? Here are the conditions

• Offline Game
• Single PC required
• 2 Controllers
• 2 Players Game
• A bit low end game
• Not too complicated
• Something fun

Hey all,

Basically looking for games somewhat inspired by King’s Field.

I played Fly Knight and Lunacid and they were bangers, and now I’m craving more of the genre. I’m aware of Dread and Delusion, and will probably pick that up soon. Also saw Frog Monster, which looks great.

Any others I should keep an eye on?

And if there aren't, are Hitman and Sniper Elite: Resistance any good? I've been playing KC:D and CP2077 and love sneaking around enough to where it has whetted my appetite for a true stealth game. I haven't played AC in a long time so I have also been thinking of trying the new one if it's any good.

Looking for a shooter with both entertaining, fast-paced gameplay and an interesting story that isn't completely brainless like your average shooter. I've enjoyed Far Cry 4, 6, and New Dawn in the past, as well as Bioshock 1 and 2. I'm trying to play Mass Effect 1 (my normal go-tos are action RPGs) but I'm finding the story boring and the interface wonky, so I'm wondering if I should go for a pure shooter instead. I'm also considering skipping to ME2, but apparently the choices you make in the first one influence the second and the game is made worse by going with the default options. Let me know what you think!

So i bought KCD 2 as it looks like an interesting game, and It looks like a baldurs gate 3 to me, and by that, i mean a game i said i will never love or play and just gloss over, but end up 500 hours deep on my 4th playthrough with almost exactly the same playstyle with *some changes*(hair).

I recently played AC shadows, khazan and i will get wilds and Stalker 2 soon, but so far khazan takes the spot for my current goty. A little to early to say, especially with Borderlands 4, DL: The beast, kingmakers, light no fire, Crimson desert(please be good) and a few more games coming out. Ive heard so much good about KCD in general, and i never really hated a game a lot of people claimed they love. I guess when millions of people say a game is good, it tends to be so. There are so many games I love that it'd be shorter to list down games i dislike/hate

I dislike the witcher 3, mostly because I feel it's too long, but i recently wanted to fully commit and play through it. Latest i got in game was skellige iirc. I guess i was hoping for cool boss fights, like from souls games. I guess i felt the same with RDR2, but after forcing myself to play through some parts, it became one of my top 20 games.

AC valhalla 35 hours of fun and like 50 hours of *painful* repetition.

Example of games I feel are similar to kcd that I LOVED however are:

Most bethseda games before Fallout 4. I loved moreso the freedom it gave me than the story. The characters are all right, but not as memorable as say, someone like astarion, or laezel.

Baldurs gate 3, is in the same boat as the bethseda games(painful to say this), but it gave the player *immense* amounts of freedom

I would also like to add in another SIB: Should I buy MHWilds or Stalker 2?

I'm on PC on Steam. My budget isn't high. Max is 10$ can't exceed it. I know about some games but they either have problems and missing key features or they are insanely priced.

Street Fighter 6 : I think that's the best of them and isn't insanely priced and the community is alive but it's way beyond my budget. The Ultimate Edition is around 35$ (at least it grants you all the content) so can't get it.

Dead or Alive 6 : The game price is insane! The standard and deluxe edition of the game doesn't give you a lot and there is over 450 DLCs for the game! That's not an option until it gets either a complete edition or be better priced.

Mortal Kombat 1 : It's a monetization platform and that's it. Another option not looking into.

Dead or Alive 5 : The game price at sales is very good around 5$. It's the option I know now and planning to get but it has missing key features like steam cloud and problems with multiplayrr and there is cut content. The games is cheap but those problems can affect the experience a lot.

I'm looking into options like either Dead or Alive 5 or SNK heroines but they both have problems that affects the experience. Looking for your suggestions.

I consider these three to be the best exploration focused games I’ve ever played and I need recommendations with exploration on par.

Most important requirement is that the game is entirely exploration focused with a degree of freedom, minimal to no cutscenes and dialogue. No procedurally generated content.

No open world games with linear stories set in them, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon, Ubisoft games for example. With map markers, minimaps, checklists, map scanning towers, quests everywhere. I don’t want guidance. No linear games. No collectibles or minigames. Just games that offer pure exploration, no bs. Oh and no soulslikes / sidescrollers. They aren’t for me besides Elden Ring due to its open world nature.

Here’s why I think those three games are the best.

Elden Ring with its never ending unique environments, new enemies, unique gear to be found. It’s vertical level design with loot from rooftops to pits. It’s secrets. Secret locations within secret locations. There is entire secret areas in this game which themselves lead to other secret areas. It blew my mind. My playthough with Elden Ring was truly awe inspiring. The DLC as well is excellent.

Subnautica and it’s alien sea. Crafting and upgrading so I can go further out to sea is a satisfying gameplay loop. That feeling when you go further out, when you reach a new threshold. Everything gets more alien. The creatures, the environments, even the music. It made me want to explore deeper and further to see what craziness lies deep in the water. Every new environment felt truly alien.

Outer Wilds has its clever puzzles and space exploration. They way all of them are connected made my jaw drop. Even the most insignificant seeming ones could lead to the solution of another puzzle on another planet. That puzzle gave you another clue to another puzzle. It’s a web of puzzles and it’s incredible. The story was really captivating, the way it unraveled through the environments is unforgettable. I liked the freedom I had in approaching them, how it all tied together.

So what games would you guys recommend that’ll grip me as much as these three? I have a Switch and PS5.

Hi all :) I’m seriously debating with myself here so I’ll give you the run down.

I have a ps5 and I have all the “exclusives” digitally (the last of us, spider man etc.) but recently I got a gaming pc with an ultrawide monitor. I played death stranding on the ps5, then I bought it for pc because I forgot I had it for ps5 and it looked SO MUCH BETTER on an ultrawide it was insane. Is it dumb for me to re-buy all my ps5/4 exclusives for pc just for the sake of playing them on an ultrawide with better performance?

Can anyone recommend an RPG similar to fallout or kingdom come deliverance 2? I also love Skyrim and RDR2, but kdc2 is the best game I’ve ever played, now I’m desperate for another similar to this? I own a ps5. I was looking at borderlands , I think I’ve been spoilt by kdc2 , any suggestions will be grateful.

Thanks

I’m looking for a third person shooter game but more specifically I’m looking for one where you are in a group. Like it’s you and three other guys and they are being controlled by the cpu. Kinda like Gears of War and Ghost recon. I have always loved these types of games but I can’t seem to find any other than the ones I just named. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions

I’m in a bit of a dilemma and I’m hoping some of you can help me out. I love fighting games, but right now, I’m on a tight budget, and I can’t afford to buy DLCs or season passes. The thing is, a lot of modern fighting games seem to rely heavily on DLCs for extra characters, stages, and costumes, and it feels like you’re missing out on a lot if you don’t buy them.

So, I’m wondering: which fighting games are good to buy if you’re not planning on purchasing the DLCs? I don’t want to be stuck with a game that feels incomplete or lacking content after the main game is purchased. I'm looking for something that still has a good roster of characters, decent single-player content (like a story mode or training modes), and a solid online experience without needing to buy a ton of extra content later.

Hello everyone, I have really tried tackling this matter on my own using google, gemini, youtube but I just can't figure it out.

For the last couple of weeks I considered getting myself one of the mentioned in the title devices (used). I still cannot figure out which one though.

I am looking for a device that I can use during my daily commute to work (around 1.5h one way) or just sitting on the couch. I have a quite a stressful job and I usually cannot get myself to turn up my desktop PC... I don't know it just feels so draining. Does it make sense?

Rog Ally- seems to be recommended but some and hated by others due to the sd port f' up, battery life and windows OS. I was almost convienced to get one but this 40-60 min battery life terrifies me. Used one costs around 400 dollars in my country. I am also pretty sure I am too stupid to replace a battery on my own and to be perfectly honest, I don't try aliexpress batteries. I could technically get a powerbank and that could technically solve my problems I guess. My concern is windows OS on a handheld. Is it as bad as everyone is making it out to be? I kind of dig an idea of having "emergency" portable PC if I needed it.

Steam deck OLED- I guess a user favourite? Worse specs than the other two on paper but power house in terms of battery life and being just reliable. Used one, 512gb, is around 500$ in my country. You can only play your steam library unless you find some workarounds which probably would be to complicated for my boomer brain but I guess 95% of the games are on steam anyway, right? I love the battery life. It is also a console rather than portable PC like in the other two cases. It also seems to be the type of device that you just turn on and it is ready to go, which is quite a big plus.

Legion Go- big screen, terrible battery life (again, same as rog ally), windows OS, loud cooling system, terrible speakers. Used one goes for around 500$. This is probably the one that has the most minuses out of the three but still people claim it is worth the money because of the game immersion. I am kind of worried the detachable "joy cons" would become very wobbly after a while. What is your experience with it? It is also the heaviest of the three and potentially has even worse battery life than Ally. Having it plugged 24/7 kind of defeats it purpose of being portable.

Most of my life I played MMOs so I have a lot to uncover. I mean I do have CP2077 and Witcher 3 under my belt already... but I am looking to explore some other ones as well eg. GTA 5, RDR2 and idk what is also more out there :D. I am just looking for something to take the edge off. I cannot just rot on the couch watching netflix shows that mostly do not even interest me but are just there as a background noise for my brain.

As I side note, I know Ally X would be much better but even used one is around 800$ in my country. Getting even one of the three is kind of a big financial commitment for me.

I would love to get your opinion on the matter. I assume this topic have been brought up millions of times already but I really couldn't find a decent, updated version of it. Most of the threads/videos are 1 year old and I assume some things have already changed by software updates.

I really hope I will not get flamed into oblivion. I am just overwhelmed by the topic.

Have a lovely day and thank you in advance!

Black Ops 6 is currently on sale on the PlayStation store and due to a recent injury that will have me couch locked during recovery for a few weeks I’m thinking about picking it up. I’m not a huge gamer and until about 6 months ago when I discovered RDR2 I hadn’t even turned on my PS5 in over a year.

I’m late 20s but back in the day played quite a bit of MW2, MW3, and BO1 zombies but far and away my favorite call of duty game of all time was BO3. I Master prestiged both multiplayer and zombies and had probably around 50 days of playtime. Since BO3 though the only cod I put some time into was Cold War which I found fun overall but not as great as BO3.

Do you think I’d enjoy BO6 and is it worth $48?

With the recent “spooky” sale on Xbox, outlast trials has gone on discount for a decent price. My buddy and I have been looking into it for a little bit now. We are just concerned if the game get really stale after a while for co-op players. As well as if it keeps it’s scare factor after playing for a little bit.

I've been in the mood for some good first person games to get immersed in, but it seems like the best of them seem to be lengthy RPGs like Cyberpunk and Kingdom Come Deliverance.

There are a ton of indie games, but most of them seem to be leaning into the retro or 2000s era of games.

Games I've played that fit the mold: What Remains of Edith Finch, Still Wakes The Deep, and I'm currently going through The Invincible.

Games that don't: walking simulators. I'm talking about stuff like Dear Esther and Gone Home, that look pretty but don't have much in terms of interactivity and variation. I played Everybody's Gone to the Rapture but I don't think these types of games appeal to me anymore.

I'm not sure if something like this even exists but what I'm looking for is, a game where you grind to get more powerful maybe with different character builds, is mainly played online with other people but without the classic mmo formula (kind of like gta online), and has a lot of pvp. I would prefer open world but it's not necessary.

Is there a difference on buying from steam or epic games? Cuz im thinking of getting ac odyssey and dishonored on epic cuz of the sale, but should i wait for steam sale? Context: i've been wanting to try out odyssey and ac 3 for the longest time now, but refrained from buying cuz it would have costed too much, now i see that odyssey gold gives ac 3 and the other one free, this isnt for the game opinion but for the platform, is there a difference, or not

I haven’t played the original judgment but I’ve heard nothing but good things. Mostly this is a “how direct of a sequel and how much I’ll be missing out on” kind of post.

I loved YLAD, IW, and whatever the abbreviation for the new pirate one is. I just finished ACShadows platinum and I’m looking to kill time til (tbh I forget what comes out at the end of the month atm)
