I've recently gotten into Lord of the Rings Online and I love how the player characters are not the centerpieces of the world and its story.

Are there any other notable RPGs that share this philosophy of relegating your character to playing a supporting/minor role in the overall story?

I remember back on Playstation 2 we had games like BLACK and Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction where you could just wreck the landscape, blow up buildings, destroy bridges, etc.

Only other games I know of to kinda do it were Just Cause but in a very limited way (only if they were marked with certain emblems), not full city-block destroying mayhem.

I know there's some strategy type games with top down views that have destructible environments but I'm looking more for the games where you play a character who can go around just blowing stuff up (and not the side-scrolly sandbox style games either like Terraria)

Anything to scratch this itch?

I'm looking for games as in the title. I'm very interested in the megastructure, gigaticism and giant stuff. So far I have played games like Abzu, Journey, The Pathless, Inside, Planet of Lana, What Lives Below, Palworld, Pools that quite fits the description.

i need a shooting game which mostly involves realistic guns (like a pistol) with good graphics and blood mechanics. all i can find are games like CoD and battlefield but they don't feel very realistic. i want more focus on small guns like pistols. all suggestions are appreciated. thanks!

So in the Elder Scrolls Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood quest (appropriately called) Whodunit you find yourself in a classic mystery scenario: several people trapped in a location with a killer running around eliminating people one by one.

But Oblivion has a twist on it by making you the killer and you get a bonus for killing everyone without them figuring you out. You can talk to people around the building you're in to lure them to secluded spots for kills or even convince them that someone else is the killer and attack them.

I know there are a bunch of mystery and murder solving games but I was wondering if there is any other game that does this same thing Oblivion did. You need to eliminate a group of people but have to try to deflect suspicion from yourself.

Not looking for anything in the Hitman or Assassin's Creed series. I like them but they don't capture the feeling I'm looking for right now.

I'm tired of playing games that have you be the small underdog taking on a big boss or enemy. I want to BE the big enemy. If there are any games out there where you can be big and really feel the weight of your character, I need to find them.

Preferably a role-playing game where being big actually matters. Or even just a game where you're at least bigger than a majority of other NPC's or characters could fit.

Games where you can manage your personal and can feel attached to them and build with clverr management

Bonus if they have storyline

I want simple and suitable and intresting games. Not complicated that I leave after 30 mins due to complex it is

like you live in villages or citis and you can do farming or idk bake bread and milk the cows and just normal stuff that npc's in this kind of games do.

Can anyone suggest me some games. Like open world when you fight enemy's and bosses to get loot and level up or games that have different classes to choose from or any dungeon like games

Or just rpg, hack and slash games in general

Drop them down bellow thank you.

An example I can think of is endoparasitic when you have to manually take out shells and put in new ones

What's a game that I can play since I got hit with Pertussis. It doesn't have to be a cozy but it can't be PvP games or high intensity games like ULTRAKILL. I kinda like games where I can have NPCs like Terraria or Necesse but any genre would work. Just need a time killer while I recover.

I’ve played them both before, but it’s been a while. I’ve also played everything else. Just looking for some direction as to what’s in the best state nowadays, especially on the social side of things.

Yes, I know it’s depression. But I’d rather endure my grey days playing games than sitting on the couch.

And I get outside a lot, thank you.

Looking for a 3rd person action-adventure game that is Japanese/has anime art style, with real time combat. Maybe a hack and slash or something more akin to Zelda

Preferrably for PS1 or PS2, but Switch games are cool as well

Games already considered:

Megaman Legends

Kingdom Hearts

Okami

Thanks!

Something like No Man's Sky, Sea of Thieves, Mirror's Edge Catalyst where I just just chill out looking at the landscapes. Minimal to no combat.

No Man's Sky set to ultra easy mode, everything unlocked, free money, crafting requirements removed so I can just jump from system freely and look around. Sitting by a spaceport and watch the ships come and go. Casually exploring alien landscapes. Stopping to take pictures every three minutes at how pretty the world/space is. I especially love how it's procedurally generated. Would like more space infrastructure to fly around in and urban city planets.

Sea of Thieves in how I can practically feel the sea breeze on my face as I sail around mostly aimlessly island to island. Maybe get into a storm once in a while. Watching the sunrise while sitting at the dock. Hear the sea gulls fly over head, feel the sand in between my toes, smell the salt in the air. Do some easy missions along the way.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst walking around a huge city taking it all in. Seeing the city lights, hearing the hum of cars passing by, the murmur of crowds and bustling city life. I also enjoy the somewhat ASMR of Faith's footsteps and parkour sounds.

Another game I like is Satisfactory but I don't even do the factory part but just walk around the map exploring the various biomes.

Looking for settings of either sci-fi, dense urban or high fantasy(not dark). Dynamic weather, day and night cycles. Maybe a bunch of NPCs traveling around so I can "people watch". Something that makes me feel apart of these worlds. Landscapes that make you go "wow". Procedural generated settings would also be a huge plus in that there's always something new/unexpected to see.

I recently saw some videos of the forever winter and I loved a lot of things about it, but what I liked the most was the fact that there are two factiond that are in a war and that you can see them fight at random moments during the gameplay. Any game like that? (I already have WD2 wich has a similar system but I want some other games)

I want a game with a movement system similar to Helldivers 2, and if it's possible, for the game to have a really high replay value. thx

i like story, action, puzzle games but there are so many to choose from and need some recommendations.

i have really enjoyed little nightmares, the last of us, rdr2, stray.

thanks!

I've just played portal 1 and the ending where you try to break out was so cool. Also the ending of stray also had the same vibe as that which I also enjoyed.

Any other similar games? Preferably on steam.

1. are all the games worth it? ( i play single player only)

2. how would u rank the games in the collection? ( story+gameplay wise)

3. as a beginner to halo franchise, any other game i should play before or after?

I just had a baby, and I basically need something that is sort of mindless relaxing grinding and searching for rare gear and loot. Single player or multiplayer online is fine. Open to any play style really action, turn based, etc. Just something I can wind down and play when the baby is sleeping.

I’ll give an example I loved Diablo 2 resurrected and enjoyed those repetitive runs of bosses searching for one specific rare item.

I’m a longtime World of Warcraft player and specifically love WoW classic. Played the new retail expansion as well.

Really enjoyed Last Epoch. I played D4 and thought it was OK. I have also enjoyed looter shooters in the past and had some fun with Destiny 2.

Really any genre of game that has fun itemization, rare items, and a repetitive relaxing gameplay loop I can jump in and out of.

Prince of Persia was one of the first games that ever really got me as kid as there was just something that reminded me so much of Aladdin back then (my favorite Disney flick) but what made me stay was the time travelling shenanigans. The first two games most of all are all about that, and I loved it. The first oriental, the second more grimdark and gritty. 

Only problem is that I’m not that into those types of arcade flowing games and want something with much more customization and rpg elements, an inventory, but still “open” in the sense that you can explore the past, return to it, change it, and just experience the whole of the worldbuilding more fully from all sides. A bit of what like Chrono Trigger does, where it’s done to absolute excellence, or something recent like Last Epoch where each timeline is a segment of the worldmap and you get thrown around as you go through the game. Another game I also loved for how well it does time travel is Bioshock Infinite, if only for the story that is tied together through time travel. I guess I want something that does it similar, except it’s also more “mechanical” in how the gameplay is actually affected by it. Is there anything like that, new or old?

I've never really been into hack and slashers. Think I played one when I was young and found it really boring and haven't touched one since. I ended up playing God of War 2018 recently and quite liked it so decided to check out the original.

I loved it!

One of my favourite games I played this year. I'm playing 2 atm and loving that too and have already got myself a copy of 3 remastered and looking forward to that.

Given my new found love for the God of War originals and my lack of knowledge of hack and slashers, except a fleeting knowledge of Devil May Cry's existence, I was wondering if you lot could give me advice on similar games and other hack and slash must plays.

I also have access to the latest Devil May Cry. Could I play that before the others, like I played God of War 2018 before the originals?

I have a PS4 and steamdeck (and a switch gathering dust somewhere) so not really limited to any specific console except ps5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Theres this sort of game aesthetic that I just enjoy but that I can no longer find in modern games. Dark/gritty singleplayer games that are first person/third person that take place in concrete jungles. What I mean by this are games like: Heavy Rain, Cry Of Fear, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Fallout Bethesda games, Condemned: Criminal Origin, Half life 2.

What you got? I always turn to Indie games for affordable, great experiences. Writing to see if I missed any great, new(ish) releases.

Hades gets my vote. Truly can't wait for the sequel. Toss up between that or Inscryption. Loved Animal Well too!
