Discussion Daily /r/Games Discussion - Suggest Me a Game - December 25, 2024

/r/Games usually removes suggestion requests that are either too general (eg "Which PS3 games are the best?") or too specific/personal (eg "Should I buy Game A or Game B?"), so this thread is the place to post any suggestion requests like those, or any other ones that you think wouldn't normally be worth starting a new post about.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Looking for a suggestion for a purely PvEm solo only, 1st or 3rd person extraction game, that hopefully can be played on the Steam Deck (but I honestly wouldnt hold my breath on sthe Steam Deck part, because just finding a pure PvE extraction game alone is a task).

Ive been playing Witchfire, which has been doing an amazing job for scratching that itch, and so far the only thing I could find remotely like this in the genre. Wondering if there is anything else out there that maybe I havent tried, or discovered yet. Or even if there are any games out there close to Witchfire, that would be amazing.

If it doesnt exists, thats fine. Just curious.

And I mean pure PvE. Not PvE with buts and exceptions. Like, I dont mean something like it CAN be solo with mods, or it CAN be solo if you choose to play it that way, but in actually its still not really true solo. Nah. I mean just absolutely no other players.

Ive tried a couple other things, but none of them have really been what Ive been looking for. Incursion Red River is still in its infancy, but so far probably the only other closest thing right now, even if the game itself isnt full there yet. Ive seen some people try and say Dark and Darker can be PvE, but its one of those games with exceptions because it still has players and I just do not like how slow the movement feels. Not looking for a top down game like Zero Seivant. And Forever Winter isnt close either. C.A.S.T may be the only other game Ive noticed thats like this, but just like Incursion is still in its infancy. Im also aware of Sulfur.

I'm looking for games with high degree of complexity and depth. It can be games that have complex systems (Factorio, Path of Exile, EVE, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, Paradox games) or games with complex narrative/storytelling (Disco Elysium, Planetscape Torment).

Price/platform doesn't really matter.

Any suggestions?

I think Oxygen not included would be right up your alley.

Nioh 2, if you're fine with fast-paced action.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous.

u/Oxirane 12h ago

Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2, both by Larian studios, might be up your alley.

If nothing else you could add another hundred mods to Rimworld.

Looking to start a new JRPG (never really played one, apart from Pokémon).

Deciding between Like a Dragon, FFVII Remake and Persona 5 Royale.

If you want to spend 100+ hours on the story, go with P5. Otherwise, remake

1

u/Purplestackz 2d ago

those are all good choices, i would just go with whichever setting sounds the most interesting to you.

u/Shmiff 2d ago

Thanks. I've recently finished Yakuza 0, which I enjoyed, but think I want a break from the setting. I've never played a Final Fantasy game before, so thought this might be a decent entry point, but I've heard the remake has some unnecessary story choices in it (but would open up Rebirth to me).

I've also never played a Persona game, but the style and music seem quite attractive

1

u/Purplestackz 2d ago

you could totally start Remake with no problems, i have some friends who started there and they loved it.

P5 is great too, monster collecting, high school time management, battles a bit like pokemon, very long but the music never gets old.

Atlus (the studio behind Persona) makes a really slick game in terms of great visuals and music. 

They also released a high fantasy jrpg this last year, Metaphor Refantazio. It's not part of the Persona series but it borrows a lot in terms of game design from Persona, so if that setting is more interesting to you, you might want to consider it too. 

Persona 5 was fantastic though, don't get me wrong. 

I can't speak to newer Final Fantasy games. Maybe I'll try one of them in 2025.

u/Lancaster2124 23h ago

Persona 5. It’s my favorite game and will open the door to you trying others in the series as well as Metaphor ReFantazio.

Enjoy the ride!

u/GroundbreakingBag164 2d ago

I recently played Firewatch and loved it, would love to know about similar games (preferably with voice acting)

In the Valley of the Gods.

u/May_Version1 1d ago

Christmas has given me Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Switch, Dragon Quest 3 Remake Switch, Black Myth Wukong, and Metaphor PS5.

What would people who have played recommended to play with my 2 weeks off from work over this break?

1

u/BeverlyToegoldIV 1d ago

From this list, Metaphor. I'm not normally a jrpg guy but am enjoying it a lot.

u/Traccount90 23h ago

Hi guys can u recommend me the very best games with big very lively open world?

Didn't play any games except for Genshin Impact in the last 16 years on pc so anything post 2008 would be fine.

Thank you

u/LeoBocchi 21h ago

As someone who usually dislikes open world games, those games really struck a cord on me when it comes to immerse yourself:

  • Red Dead Redemption 2
  • Elden Ring
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  • Death Stranding
  • Cyberpunk 2077

They are all special for different reasons. But their open worlds all succeed in making you feel like a part of that universe

u/ConsciousFood201 20h ago

Cyberpunk. Just do it. It’s amazing.
