Weekly Game Suggestions Thread - October 25, 2024

Looking for game suggestions? Have a backlog and don't know where to start next? This thread is for you!

Tips to get the best suggestions

  • Be detailed! If you're looking for a roguelike, say that. If your game must include zombies, you should probably mention that. The more detailed you are the better the recommendations will be.
  • Are you limited by PC specifications or a budget? That's all good stuff to include.

SOMA
Amnesia series, although Machine for Pigs is mediocre
In Sound Mind

If it doesn't have to be a horror/thriller, also these:

Call of the Sea
What Remains of Edith Finch
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Looking for a huge world building (rts) game that has like a Dwarf Fortress or Pixelated style to it? I want to play a game where I can lose myself in :)

Fallout 76 is worth a try for any Fallout fans or MMORPG addicts-looking-for-a-hit. I know it's rustled up a pretty bad reputation since launch but the game has heart (amidst the bugs) and is actually playable now. The community over at their subreddit and discord are very warm and welcoming and what starts off as trying to survive with whatever you have in the beginning evolves into an addictive end-game of legendary farming, build min-maxing, and building your own beautiful C.A.M.P!

If such a thing exists: I'm looking for a multiplayer game in line with LoL or Overwatch in that you play as characters with their own unique abilities, but without the team element. I really enjoy the aspect of learning a character and improving with them, but team-based games give me too much stress if I'm playing with randoms 😅 (League especially since its community is often so toxic with the slightest perceived mistake or misstep).

You should see if you can get into the Deadlock game Valve is making. Its a team shooter with MOBA elements.

We're in spooky time. What are some scary games to play? I own but have not played SOMA, Visage, Faith, and Darkwood. Is one of those a good starting point and are there any other suggestions?

Things I've done that may apply: RE games before action era, Prey 2017, Dead Space, Doom3, Obscure, Metro games.

I've played SOMA and Darkwood, they're excellent. Gameplay-wise they're not at all to what you've played, SOMA is a borderline walking sim with a great story and atmosphere, Darkwood is heavy on slow, methodical exploration with an emphasis on resource management.

Take a look at these, they're great too:

Amnesia series
Singularity
Alan Wake
Stasis and Stasis: Bone Totem

And Oxenfree if you don't mind a more "lite" horror.

Hello all! Can I have some suggestions on action games that let's you be a space bounty hunter? Roam around space and do missions? Would be good to have a mix of on foot combat and space combat. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm looking for a cozy, visually stunning game that's easy to play and doesn't have too much text. Something simple and intuitive would be perfect. It would also be great if it's available for Mac!
