Original Post

Do you know of any games in which you play as an animal? EDIT: preferably in nature, though Stray is still a really great recommendation!

I'm really looking forward to Migration.

I played one that had really good graphics, and you played as an ape, but it was so bad gameplay-wise that I gave up on it.

I also loved playing ant colony management games though I pretty much forgot their names.

Spore kind of fits the theme as well.

Dinosaur games included. Idk if I would count Jurrasic Park and Jurassic World but those kinds are welcome too.----___

Does anyone know of any games that have arcade-style pick up and play but also feature some element of long form gameplay? This can be in the form of some narrative, a meta game or something in between.

The only example I can think of that I've played is Catherine, a puzzle-arcade game with a visual novel that bridges the game's individual levels.

Indie games or retro games are both applicable.

The title basically says it all: I'm looking for games with first person perspective that have interesting architecture, preferrably modern or scifi, but historical or fantasy is fine too. The genre isn't important, neither is the quality of the game, as long as it's playable.

An example for this is P.A.M.E.L.A. It's as if the game was an afterthought (and the gameplay definitely feels like an afterthought) and the main goal was to create a plausible scifi city, down to the realistic amount of toilets.

Another one would be the VR game Ghost Town, which had fascinating recreations of Trellick Tower in London.

Are there any more? The more obscure, the better.

Credit where credit is due: MEGA CRPG RECOMMENDATION LIST. Tasty comments full of people disagreeing on the OP's categorization. Seems to have deleted their account, so no u/ I can direct you to. I left all the recommendations and categorization alone, but took out some of the color commentary (which to some might just be blandifying it, lol).

"Where do I start?" mainstream recommendations

These CRPGs tend to get recommended the most by others who are newer to CRPGs themselves and very likely started just within the last few years.

• Divinity: Original Sin 2
• Pathfinder: Kingmaker
• Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
• Pillars of Eternity
• Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
• Wasteland 3

"I'm looking for a good CRPG" middle-of-the-road recommendations

The person asking this question likely has some CRPG experience. The games that I listed here are great, but came about before the big CRPG renaissance that the mainstream gamer is familiar with. They're extremely common to most people who've been playing CRPGs for years, and will very likely tug some nostalgia heartstrings despite the fact that the some mainstream gamers may feel confused or even put off by some of the older design principles. These recommendations tend to be for the person playing catch-up, working backwards from modern releases to the older stuff that CRPG veterans would still consider to be mainstream.

• Dragon Age: Origins
• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
• Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
• Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines
• Gothic series
• The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
• Shadowrun series

​# "My dad played it, but is it any good?" forgotten recommendations

These CRPGs haven't actually been forgotten, of course. They're just not spoken of regularly when compared to the modern recommendations, but a lot of long-time CRPG fans have played them and can recite fine details about their experiences of them. They were likely extremely popular at one point, maybe even to the point of being considered legendary, but have been drowned out by mainstream recommendations. In this territory, the mainstream gamer can often be seen twitching uncomfortably at some dated design principles and will shift in their seats with impatience due to the lack of quality of life options or untraditional design choices.

• Baldur's Gate
• Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
• Neverwinter Nights
• Neverwinter Nights 2
• Icewind Dale
• Icewind Dale II
• Planescape: Torment
• Fallout
• Fallout 2
• Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
• Deus Ex
• Jagged Alliance 2
• Temple of Elemental Evil
• Silver Box games
• Gold Box games
• Wizardry series
• Might and Magic series
• Ultima series

"I think I've heard of that before!" not the first to come to mind recommendations

CRPGs that maybe some people have heard in passing, or they know a guy who knows a guy whose uncle played it at some point. These are the recommendations that are a point of pride for the people who mention them, because they know that not many people have played them, or possibly have even heard of them. Some of these also tend to have a bit of a niche following or aren't quite as popular as other entries in their series. Not everyone will love these, but the ones that do REALLY love them.

Some of these games are difficult to even find a single archived mention on a website, and if you were a completionist collector and wanted a physical copy of some of these, you'd be hard-pressed to find them.

• The Banished
• Mistmare
• Another War
• Shadow Vault
• Vampire Hunters
• Archangel
• Dragonfire: The Well of Souls
• Anito- Defend the Land Enraged
• World of Chaos
• Paradise Cracked
• Dark Secrets of Africa
• Morning's Wrath
• Blind Justice
• Icarus, Sanctuary of the Gods
• Metal Hearts: Replicant's Rampage
• Gorasul: Legacy of the Dragon

The most common way this comes up is in "survival" games. You browse the environment for health and ammo, and then burn it all up facing massive hordes of zombies (or, ARC, or whatever monster of the day is). I've also seen it in other types of games, like in the newer Zeldas where you get dozens of types of weapons, none of which can be repaired.

Something I love about these patterns is that they get you to adapt and shift your playstyle naturally. You aren't granted transforming ammo that fits whatever weapon you hold - you must use what's available, even if every option from grenades to flamethrowers ends up being fun.

They provide the fun of looting, as well as a method to expend that loot in a way that maintains the cycle. Nothing irritates me more than the red "inventory full" message, so I make an effort to expend my resources quickly, and a lot of these games reward the player in turn for it.

So, this tends to fit a lot of major/mainstream singleplayer story-based games like Resident Evil, as well as traditional shooters like Half-Life in which all your weapons maintain an ammo count. I'm curious what other unexpected games come up that satisfy this itch, even providing creative ways to encourage "dumping resources" in a rapid way, just to give you empty slots to fill up again.

I hope I don't brake any rules, but recently I saw a stream of ATS, and I thought of playing again some ETS2 for Christmas.
I have the Italia, France, Beyond the Baltic sea, Road to the Baltic sea and Iberia, And I was thinking to get West Balkan or Greece.
Which would you recommend getting?

Also Nordic Horizon wasn't already in game? how come its a DLC now? Because I remember doing deliveries with double wagon.

Not specific, just want to know if this even exists: a city clearing zombie game

Has anyone made a zombie game where you actually clear/retake an infested city? Lots of games have you raid a city to build a base somewhere else, (7D2D, unturned, now Vein, etc.) or just do things in an infested city (Dying Light, RE, etc.) sometimes culminating in some sort of big climax that results in or implies the end of the zombie times, or maybe you just leave, but are there any that have that element of progression where you slowly take more of the map and the zombies aren't just randomly spawned in a radius around the player regardless of how many you knock down? The closest I have ever found was an old flash game from when those were a thing, based around worker placement and resource management.

I occasionally try to play co-op games with my retired dad. He's pretty inexperienced with games (outside of playing a handful of Atari games when he was a kid) and isn't the most coordinated. It can be difficult to find games he can play and even more difficult to find games which will still be engaging for me.

What are some co-op games that are simple enough for someone unfamiliar with games to get into but which aren't going to bore? Also, they either need to be Switch games or games which have both a Mac and PC version.

So I have been trying to scratch an itch I don't know if I can still scratch. Are there any MMOs that still exist that use numpad movement, have a clunky UI, and really let you immerse in the game (I'm talking about the good old fashioned run across the continent to do anything days. Like Ruins of Kunark days.)

And some game recommendations by me to add on to the post:

• Taiji
  • A 2D puzzle game where you slowly unravel how to solve each different element of the puzzles, eventually culminating in a massive puzzle gauntlet. Basically identical in concept and execution to The Witness, but still very much its own unique and fun game.
• The Golden Idol
  • A puzzle game where each level you must examine a scene to figure out exactly what happened, eventually piecing together the full story over several levels. Don't let the art style put you off, it's an incredibly well done game. Most similar to Return of the Obra Dinn in concept.
• Stories: The Path of Destinies
  • an action RPG with a branching choice-driven storyline, but not every story has a happy ending... You'll piece together the true story over multiple playthroughs and eventually find the one true path. It wasn't a particularly life-changing game but it was still a lot of fun and worth checking out if it sounds interesting!

Games listed in the image, for those who want a straight list instead of looking at an image:

• Heaven's Vault
• Outer Wilds
• Tunic
• Return of the Obra Dinn
• Chants of Sennaar

Exactly as the title asks. I'll start, though. The link I placed in the URL section should potentially help with explaining it better than I can. For those unaware

If for some reason you don't get that, I can provide it here: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=YqBX87fq_RU

For the above, this is a video by CoculesNation, of which I believe I've gone ahead and edited (I forgot if I did that one or not).

The hidden gem FPS I'd recommend big time is the AFPS known as Xonotic. If you're part of the Linux gaming community, you've likely heard about it. For those completely out of the loop, I'll catch you up to speed here.

Xonotic is a Free Software (as in FSF approved) AFPS (Arena FPS) made in the Doom 1 derivative engine called DarkPlaces. It's the same engine used in Nexuiz Classic (which Xonotic is a fork of), and Rexuiz (a continuation of Nexuiz Classic, also a form of Rexuiz).

The licenses for these games are GPL-2.0 or later, per the compatibility with the id Tech 1 engine... also GPL-2.0+ licensed.

In terms of gameplay here, think Quake-style movement with Unreal Tournament customization. The movement is extremely fast Quake-style stuff with even CPMA (air turning), weapon combos that are satisfying, and for some reason, even designed with defrag in mind (as there's an active community of pro defrag players in Xonotic). I focus on instagib, though, as that's my current focus.

If y'all have any other ideas, feel free to express them here. I'd be happy to look into them as well, and see if they're worth playing for either myself or Neigsendoig.

I am looking for games that are visually impressive and make use of my 5090 so I can get more use out of it before it becomes second place (though I guess technically its second place to the RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell).

I have already played Cyberpunk 2077, played the heck out of it, very fun, though it has some annoyances so on subsequent playthroughs mods removed those annoyances for me which was great. This game really had a lovely skill tree customization which let you have many different play styles and the free form missions were excellent for letting you complete them in all sorts of ways.

I have also played Atomfall and just have the new DLC left to play through. Its not really that graphically challenging. It was an OK game.

I have also played Split Fiction, which is probably the absolute most fun anyone can have with another person in video game form, especially if one is used to games and the other isnt, but in other cases as well. Very relaxing and high fun to down time ratio.

Played both Robocop games as well. Ok, but not that graphically challenging.

Sort of the big thing I want to avoid is MTXs and marketing dark patterns like FOMO and especially Monetary Dark Patterns. Basically things listed on this website are things I want to avoid

For the record I play on a 4k 144hz monitor and prefer higher frame rates, like 100 ish for comfortable play without eye strain.

got a new job and enjoy it but damn i am mentally exhausted after work. i want to play a game to decompress and regain energy to do other things with my day when i come home, a game i can pick up without learning too much and being overwhelmed at the beginning. most of the games i own right now are not like this and require lots of learning or thinking so oof.

I just love how in Paint the Town Red you can just select a level and fight people, especially in goofy ways. The gore sometimes grosses me out, though.

Bonus if they feature multiplayer!

EDIT: (Sorry for the late reply!) Thanks for the recs!

i really love balatro, that games is so addictive, idk why, but i think it has little bit of gambling element i guess ( correct me if im wrong)

please recommend me some games that have any gambling element,

pardon my english :)

thank you everyone, for the recommendations

ill try them for sure

"Love finds you when you least expect it".

I've come to the feeling that romance isn't always that great of a back-box marketing topic. Dating sims are dime-a-dozen visual novels, often cycling some tiring tropes. Optional romances often treat people and relationships as "features" to be picked up as desired and discarded, rather than a give-and-take relationship too complex for numbers in a simulation.

One unfortunate result of making a thread like this is that by posting suggestions, they all immediately become spoilers. Sometimes, it's not that big of a spoiler, as someone might guess it anyway, or it might not harm the appeal of the game overall - especially if it's built around some generally enjoyable adventure.

So: What adventures have you been on where you were surprised by a romantic subplot, especially ones where it had a surprising effect on the rest of the story?

I'm looking for something new to play with my squad and bring us back together. But our tastes are starting to meander apart a bit. And I'm hoping for an online game (ideally cross platform Xbox/PC, but PC only would be fine.)

The short version: We loved DMZ, we played Warzone in Urikstan, Urzikstan Zombies, and now Warzone: Verdansk 2, and PUBG both in BR and in bot/custom mode. I'd love something like Ghost Recon Wildlands with less narrative constriction, and more shaped like a BR or extraction game, but PVE and just our squad. (Not really something wave-based like Helldivers.) We're also known to rarely hop into a Minecraft server together.

The longer version I wanted to type out more than I wanted to sleep right now: COD: Warzone 2's DMZ mode is an extraction game with a fine mission pool (collect # items running quests, several unique missions, dailies, weeklies, season missions, and a few low intensity boss/special unit runs,) a good map (wide variety of areas that are thematically cohesive, random NPC generation in areas so they usually feel fresh,) COD "action movie feeling" gunplay, low intensity crafting (under the guise of trading items for gear,) and a wonderfully simplified inventory system made friendly for my console user buddies. (Every item was one slot, and the number of slots depended on the size of your backpack, but maxed at like 9 so it wasn't crazy wild on a controller.)

After a little over a year they basically stopped advancing it, and we went back to the typical Warzone battle royal mode. The next map, Urzikstan, was okay. We also played the Zombies mode in that, which was DMZ with fewer missions and PVE alongside other squads in the server. Then they switched the BR map to Verdansk, which was fine for a brief detour but it's old by now.

Of my squad, one really liked Urzikstan's Zombies mode because it was very low intensity, but us other two didn't like it that much. But now the other is more feeling PUBG matches (sometimes BR, sometimes just bot matches where we rampage over everyone, again, less intense.) And I can't get them both excited in another PVP game because we're just not that sweaty/good anymore. We're in our late 30s and 40s and nothing captures the lax feeling of early DMZ that was very casual friendly with occasional spikes of tense gunfights. (It Became all PVP by the end of a couple of seasons.)

I'm looking for something in the shape of those games we like, with that top tier world especially. It doesn't have to be a new game either. I'd love something like Ghost Recon: Wildlands. (The last time we tried that we all bounced off of it, sadly, as it was so narratively strong.) But something with a nice sized interesting map (again, comparing it to Warzone,) with good map variety, and a good mission pool, would be phenomenal. But I just don't know of anything. And I'm just hoping I've missed something that'll be obvious to someone else.

Thanks.

Turn based games tended to be something I sort of stopped getting into as I got older. Despite really enjoying games that involve tons of strategy and thought like Hitman or 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, I struggled more with games that are turn based. I've tried to get back into them with stuff like Pokemon and the occasional board game sim that I play with my friends, but I just know there's games out there I'd like a lot more.

I do want to give Fire Emblem, Bug Fables, and Sea of Stars a try at some point soon. Was just wondering if there's anything else I'm missing.

Tried using American Truck Simulator. After several (in-game) moving violations, I have realized I will need to git gud at this game before I can actually unwind with it. (Turns out driving with mouse + keyboard is much harder for me than real driving!) Any recommendations for things to play to relax you for sleepytime?

I have a friend who is predominantly an xbox and switch gamer whos getting his first pc and I wanna get him a kind of starter pack of steam games. Want suggestions that aren't on gamepass since he has that already.

I posted a [list of Pokémon games you can play in a browser at !pokemon@sopuli.xyz](https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.zip/post/47994827). I have pasted the list as it is now. If you’re reading this in the future, it’s likely some new games have been added to the linked list that aren’t on the pasted version here.

Just saw that this web app was available, and I think it seems like a cool idea. It's like a gamified rec engine.

Unfortunately it needs a sign up to start, but looks like there's no email verification right now. And thankfully it runs in web browser, no app needed.

Tried it, and it seems kinda jank. I don't recognize any of the 'experts', and didn't really know what to do with games I already played, and liked, but didn't love. The preferences and special cards didn't seem interesting.

So I dunno. Maybe it'll be useful over time and with more runs. But I thought it seemed neat, anyway and thought this community might be interested.

I like the story and feel of genshin impact and the fact that it's open world along with the world design

I've tried looking online but most posts are asking for games with similar combat style while I'm looking for games that have story, feel, open world and world design to genshin

Unfortunately genshin is an gacha game and I dislike gacha

I prefer games with female main characters but ones with males are okay
