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 or giving suggestions for video games, not for identifying 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.

Something else that happened at the end of the game!

will appear as

Looking for some NES recommendations (lemmy.zip)

I've been trying to get into the NES library, but not too sure what's some titles worth playing. I've played Popeye and Zelda 1. Popeye was alright, but Zelda 1 I just couldn't get into. I played through the whole thing and didn't really enjoy it all that much. It wasn't bad, just not my thing.

Currently I'm looking to try Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong Jr Math, Dr. Mario, Mendel Palace, River City Ransom, Terra Cresta, and Tetris. My friend also recommended me Super Mario Bros, Punch-Out, Metroid, and Panic Restaurant. I'm really into racing games and puzzle games, but haven't been enjoying brawlers all that much lately (there's a few I like like the Devil May Cry series, Lego games, and the Batman Arkham series).

Ducktales is a masterpiece.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a bizarre ordeal, but it's a touchstone, and you can at least get to the dam and recognize why a lot of people at-the-time also stopped at the dam. The music slaps.

Mega Mans - 1 is a fascinating relic made better by savestates, 2 is a Nintendo-hard pinnacle everyone glazes, 3 is literally an unfinished beta, 4 is a solid but unremarkable sequel, 5 has killer music but meh difficulty, and 6 is just kinda weird.

Batman is celebrated, but I haven't played it personally.

Kirby's Adventure is a solid entry in a long and weird franchise where basically all of the platformers are rightly celebrated.

Wario's Woods is probably better on SNES.

Bram Stoker's Dracula is worth a go. It's not amazing, but it's pretty good for a licensed movie affair.

There's a surprisingly good port of Elite that was never commercially released but is widely available.

Also I made a first-person shooter that's reasonably good.
