Looking for a rec: story oriented RPG with minimal focus on combat (lemmy.ca)

Preferably in the high fantasy or sci fi genre.

I enjoy playing games like Chronotrigger, Tales of Symphonia, Witcher 3 (easiest difficulty), Mass Effect (in Story mode), Outer Worlds (in Story mode), etc.

Basically, story first, mechanics second. What's your fav?

Thanks for the recs! Already played Chained Echoes and quite liked it. Wish it was longer haha. Seen Sea of Stars reviews saying weak on story and dialogue and such, so I backburnered it, but maybe it's worth it for the exploration elements alone?

Never played Outer Wilds. But seen it recommended before and it's on my radar. Should it be played on console, do you think? Or is the steam version fine.

I'll look into the rest when I have time. I appreciate all the details :)

Re: Outer Wilds, either console or Steam is fine but I would recommend a controller in either case. The flight mechanics can be a little tricky with a keyboard and mouse, but I had no issues getting it with a controller.
