Video Game Suggestions

A place to find suggestions for video games! For example, you might create a post looking for recommendations for a game to play with a friend, or a game that is easy to play if you just broke your dominant hand. Or you might post a list of games that let you use a whip as a weapon. A lot of rules for conduct here are pretty obvious (don't be a jerk, stay on-topic) so I'll bold the weird ones.

Rules

Please stay on-topic: post requests for games that match some criteria you specify, lists of games with a certain element, or something otherwise relevant to helping people find games that match certain criteria.
- If you're looking to find the name of a particular game or video game series you forgot, you should go to !TipOfMyJoystick@retrolemmy.com. This community is for fielding suggestions for games, not for finding one specific video game.
- If you're making a post that is suggesting games, it should be a list of games. This is partially to help prevent the community from being overrun by people just suggesting their favorite game, and devs suggesting you play their latest game. This is about posts, not comments. It's okay to comment on a post asking for gaming suggestions with just one game.
Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
When advertising something you have worked on, please use common sense for what is spammy. Self-promotion isn't totally banned: if someone asked for an RPG where you can play a lich, and the game you worked on is an RPG where you can play a lich, you can definitely answer with your RPG. I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.
Please indicate spoilers when necessary. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.

Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some incredible story-driven games—ones that pull us into their world with gripping narratives, deep characters, and immersive gameplay. Some examples of what I'm looking for include the Homeworld series, the Horizon series, The Last of Us, some Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider games, etc. So I'm not too picky about the genre.

If you've played any unforgettable games with amazing storytelling, do tell! What games had you hooked from start to finish?

Borderlands 2 and Tales from the Borderlands were really great stories. Tales is a classic Telltale game, so really any of those should be on a story driven list, but Borderlands 2 deserves far more credit than it gets. Sure, they don't take themselves too seriously, and have no problem relying on sophomoric fart jokes, but the character development and Plot twists are fantastic. There were points that I honestly started to tear up. (Sorry, Bloodwing) and 2 minutes later I'm laughing my ass off because Jack can't find his violin. (He had this whole thing planned out, it would have been great.)

Sorry, I got deeper into that than I expected.

Of the less mainstream, What Remains of Edith Finch. The less I say about this one, the better. Very dark, very morbid. Only takes a few hours, but it tells some disturbing stories.

Also Inscryption. I thought I was just getting into a card game, but there is SOOO much more to the game than that. Trust me, if you do play this game DO NOT GIVE UP ON IT until the WTF moment happens. If you don't know what that means, keep going, you haven't seen anything yet.
