A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

2D top down/isometric action RPG recommendation? (lemmy.one)

Hi everyone! Glad to be here on the new Lemmy community ☺️

I've been mostly out of the gaming scene since about 2012 due to grad school, starting a family, etc, but am wanting to get back into it. I love games like Zelda Link to the Past and had a lot of fun recently playing Hyperlight Drifter and Tunic (though I prefer 2D over 3D). I'm not looking for a rogue-like and rogue-lite style game. I'm leaning towards giving Crosscode a try, but am open to suggestions and would love to have a list to work my way through 😁. I'm perfectly happy playing games that came out last year or 30 years ago.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good PC games that scatch that 16bit action RPG Link to the Past itch?

Thank you all in advance and I appreciate your time and input ☺️.

UPDATE: wow! Thank you all so much for all the suggestions! I'll check all these out. Y'all are great πŸ˜ƒ

You’ve played Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma, right?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Soul Blazer: βœ”οΈ Illusion of Gaia: βœ”οΈ Terranigma: Never heard of it! I'll check it out. Still have my trusty SNES, so might get a cartridge in eBay 😁

Terranigma is imo the best Action RPG to come out on the SNES. Yes that is a high bar. The main reason it isn't well known is that it never released in the US. I'm jealous you'll get to experience this gem for the first time soon.
