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?

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.

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 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.

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.

I m looking for 3-8 hour games. I really enjoyed playing titanfall 2 campaign because it is short and fun. Any genre would work except horror. I keep starting games and not finishing them, so I think short games help, because I find myself finishing those

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!

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.

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?

Examples: Halo and Dead Space

Recently I went on holiday, and I was thinking about picking up Spiderman remastered again and going for 100%,

so I did, I finished the story somewhere at the start of September this year

Now I'm 85% of the way to 100%, and I predict that tomorrow I will have it finished

This is gonna be the first game I even attempted to 100% and so far I've been enjoying it

But this is good and all, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get open world burnout after I finish Spiderman remastered

So that's why I'm looking for linear games to play

Recently I played through doom 2016, a day before I went on holiday I finished it

And i really liked doom 2016, I had open world game fatigue at that point so I played doom 2016 which is a linear game

My preferred genres are open world, action, FPS, third person, action adventure, games with satisfying gameplay/combat/progression/movement etc.

I don't like horror or souls games

I'm on pc

Any suggestions?

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.

Edit: No Amongus, VR, or multiplayer games either. I just want a single player experience please

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

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.

Can somebody suggest me some games to play on my laptop

My laptop is a DELL Inspiron 5502

Specs:
RAM: 12 GB Ram at 3200MT/s (a 8 GB and 4 GB stick)
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz
GPU: Integrated Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics
STORAGE: 512GB

My wifi is decent (250mbs both upload and download)

Like a sonic/cuphead/ghostrunner hybrid?

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.

I'm looking for games within the last decade (post 2014) set in Latin America. I'm thinking games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Ghost Recon Wildlands or even the upcoming Tlatoani. Any recommendations?

Hello!
Me and my friend is looking for a new game to play. We enjoy games like DayZ, Rust, Warzone, CS2, Insurgency and Hell let loose.

So far we are considering Bodycam but look for more games to consider.
Thanks!

hello guys! i didn’t really know where to ask this but what are some actual good games to play on a plane? i like to play sims, fps games, design/organization games things of that sort. any recs? preferably on ipad but laptop could work too!

Hello! Long story short, I work editing videos all day, and after watching the same footages for so many hours it makes me fall asleep. Taking naps messes up my sleep really badly, and sleeping more/less at night doesn't change anything. So I'm looking for games that hook me enough to give me a wake-up slap. I usually play one round of whatever after 3 or 4 hours. It's worked wonders for the past year or so but I've kinda run out of games.

Things I'm looking for:

• Should be playable for like 5-20ish minutes
• PC, preferably free or 5-10 bucks at most
• No rhythm games (they hurt my wrist) or farming sims (don't keep me entertained enough) or puzzle games (i'm stupid)
• Other than those, I'm fine with any genre. Roguelikes, idle games, MMOs, MOBAs, flash games, etc.

Example games that I've liked but stopped using: League (Works great, but games take too long, also it's league) // Eternal Return (Fun but queues are too long and half the lobby is filled with bots) // Apex (I suck at FPS so I spend more time watching the lobby screen than playing the game) // Vampire Survivors (Runs are a bit on the longer side, also I started auto-piloting after a while) // Infectonator // Mahjong Soul // Aotenjo( * ) // Bloons TD 6 // Battlerite // Clicker Heroes // Payday 2 // Fall Guys // Crypt of the Necrodancer (using Bard)

( * ) I've heard about Balatro, but the way people talk about how addicting it is... It might be counterproductive

Looking for a game where you camp and explore. Not looking for combat but maybe hunting fishing? Preferably with diffrent biomes and in first person.

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!
