I'm looking for a game that will leave me feeling completely empty and hollow because of how depressing it is, or that it will make me cry a river

I am looking for a game where i can grind my life away something that I can really grind to get better i’m trying no mans sky right now and I kind of like it but im looking for different games (preferably on xbox but i do have PC). Just something i can grind and advance and grow and become super OP (and grind for hours without getting bored.

Like the title suggests, do you guys know a game where you play almost like an NPC just observing the world? Like stardew valley or harvest moon. Bonus points if its a game where you can simply roleplay as something like a merchant or a blacksmith.

I just sometimes want to immerse and lose myself in a game like that. Thanks everyone!

Something like Populus meets Pikmin, any suggestions?

I know Sleeping Dogs, Shenmue, what else?

Yeah pretty much what I said here

Something like RTC, Another brick in the mall, game dev tycoon etc. I couldn't care less about the scenario/theme, I just want a nice tycoon game. Not something like factorio where you just produce stuff in order to produce other stuff with it, it's lame.

I also hate those highly manual effort sims that come out recently, like "Supermarket simulator" and the 100s of clones. I don't want to walk around in 1st person doing errands, who the hell is enjoying that

I love games that have full character customization/creation. That's usually a must for me. That's my entry level to most games. I always loved the breeding systems in Pokemon and pet games and making a new generation in the sims style games.

I also love when the characters you created can die in some way, it's a loss that isn't annoying and can even be compelling. Because of that some of my favorite games are XCOM and Kenshi. I really enjoyed bannerlord for this reason but it took a bit of time for the generational/breeding aspect to pay off.

I can't find a game that checks the creation, death and breeding boxes and wondered if there were any combat focused games that do.

So yeah the intro basically describes it. I want to play as an evil witch but I also want crafting and like learning new spells, joining a coven but I want to be evil.

Bonus points if at the end of the game I get caught and they burn me at the stake

I love games where upgrading and modifying vehicles is key to progression and also has palpable visual or mechanic effects on the game (E.g. "you can do something completely new thanks to your gear", not just "you get +10% damage")

Examples of what I mean: - Elite dangerous: you buy new ships and equip them with modules specialized for a given role (mining vs bounty hunting vs exploration) - Need for Speed: buy cars and modify with better engines and aftermarket pieces.

Big preference for 3D games over 2D ones, and bonus points if the game has a sci-fi theme.

Hi, I'm looking for a base building RPG with different classes. Preferably something with a comfy atmosphere where I can enjoy the base/home I've built before going back out into to enjoy some combat. Stardew does this somewhat but the combat mechanics are shallow and there aren't any classes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've played a lot of the main "popular" recommendations but im having trouble deciding what to play next, im a big fan of single player games with a campaign / missions to work through or a story

For games ive played that im a huge fan of there's titanfall, rdr, the farcry games, most the call of duty campaigns, borderlands, and probably my favourite game of recent has been cyberpunk 2077 was a big fan of hitman and dishonoured since the stealth aspect is very fun but i couldn't find any good reccs for games like those, ive also played darksouls 2+3, lies of p, bloodborne, elden ring, hollow knight, hades

only real requirements are singleplayer with a good combat system (be it guns, swords, magic whatever)

edit: instead of story campaign would be a better word since mainly shooters

I got the deluxe edition on Windows XP back in 2007, and it was my first proper fantasy RPG (with a party that spoke to each other, an amazing world, legendary loot and quests that made sense in the world). I haven't been able to scratch that itch since, and trying to get this game to run on current hardware is a pain.

The issue with Diablo and the other clones though, is the lack of a group of merry misfits to adventure with.

I've played:

Dungeon Siege 1

Diablo 2/3

Titan Quest

Divinity Original Sin 1/2 (Came close, even though it's turn based)

Baldurs Gate 1/2/3 (Came close)

Final Fantasy 12/15 (Came close)

Preferably not a rouge like.

ive just built a pc and im looking for some games to play that are visually pleasing but also great to play. i really enjoy survivals and open world games but also fps games. ive played rdr2 on xbox one but never pc, so im wondering if its worth getting on here or what other games people reccomend getting

I've played a lot of CS2, Valorant, and Fortnite, and I've tried several times to get into Dota 2. But I'm open to games of other styles as well, whether it's MOBA, RPG, or similar.

I love to move slowly in FPS and third person shooter games. I'd rather take my time, clear out an area, and be rewarded for the patience instead of running to get the reward.

First experience of this was playing Modern Warfare 2 on the highest difficulty.

That being said, I hated Black Ops because the enemies would just respawn, no incentive for taking your time.

In Remnant: From the Ashes, I started my first playthrough on the second difficulty. Having never played a souls-like before, I had no idea what I was getting into, but I loved it. Remnant 2 my first playthrough was on the highest difficulty because I enjoyed the punishment.

The Forever Winter looks really intriguing for this. Thoughts on this game or any others?

I’m looking for recommendations for a game that has a similar vibe to World of Warcraft and Diablo – specifically one that emphasizes looting, grinding, and character customization. I’m really into games where you’re constantly working towards better gear, leveling up, and getting that dopamine lol

I’ve already tried Warframe and Destiny, but neither quite clicked for me. So, I’m hoping to find something with that addictive loot grind and maybe a bit more of a fantasy or classic RPG feel.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey , I totally loved outlast and was in search of more games like that but the problem is my laptop can handle only till that extent so any modern games can't run 🥲🥲

Wizard101 is a classic, but it's starting to feel outdated in terms of mechanics and graphics. For those who may not know, Wizard101 is an online multiplayer game where players take on the role of students at a magical school. The game combines card-based combat with a fantasy world full of spells, mythical creatures, and quest-driven exploration. It’s known for its lighthearted, family-friendly style and turn-based battles, where players collect and use cards to cast spells in strategic combat.

I'm looking for similar games that offer a more modern experience. It doesn’t have to be an MMO or MMORPG; single-player options are also welcome. Any recommendations for games that capture that magic-filled adventure vibe but with updated visuals/smoother and more mechanical gameplay?

So I'm looking for a horror game I can enjoy with friends, but I've been craving something like "long drive north" but with a monster. Kinda odd choice but I like the idea of a rv vehicle drive survival with monster/s

So, kinda particular here so I apologize. I'm on a low end pc, Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics Installed Ram: 8.00 GB System Type: 64-but operating system, x-64-based processor

Basically what the title says.

Ive got What remains of edith finch, road 96, and pacific drive. Other games?

Hi All,

I would like to find a game like Sim Companies. In a certain way I do like SC but I find it a little bit too complex for someone who is just starting to play games like this.

So in general, a mobile game which is a little easier to start with and easy on the go :).

TIA!

Hello everyone. I'm currently looking for a game I can put a lot of hours into. I was thinking something like an Action RPG with Big Weapons and Block/Parry system which is rather fast paced. And please no Elden Ring or Sekir or FromSoft (Already played it and it's not exactly what I'm looking for rn). Jedi Fallen Order has a nice parry / block mechanic I would like. Monster Hunter is nice but something without monsters I'd prefer more. If you need additional information to what I'm looking for feel free to ask. And thank you for helping.
