Assassin/Detective Games reccomendations

I'm looking for interesting games about being an assassin or a detective. I know a few titles, mostly for assassin games, such as Hitman or Assassin's Creed, and while I find both games enjoyable and their story interesting, I also think these kind of games don't go in detail with their mechanics. What I mean is that often times NPCs are completely oblivious, and this makes the game very easy and boring to play.

As for detective games, unfortunately, I don't really know many, but again I'm interested in ones that have depth and don't just hand you everything you need to solve your cases. One game that does this amazingly, in my opinion, is for example Shadows of Doubt, which simulates an entire city with interactions between characters etc. With this said, I also have other problems with SoD, such as the bugs that make some cases unsolvable and bad optimization.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the kind of games I'm looking for?

Why do people complain about the meta so much?

A meta will always exist in any form of competition, it's just a fact of reality. I've been seeing a ton of people whine about "meta slaves" in Pokemon and it just comes off as them being sore losers. If you can't handle the idea that people play to win, you should probably just stop playing competitive games.

Games like LDOE (base building, survival, etc)

As a kid, I always played last day on earth. It’s such a great game, but it’s a mobile game. Now that I have a pc, I’m searching for a game like it but nothing hits the spot. I played V rising and project zomboid, and they just don’t hit the same. The former is too boss rush-y, and the latter isn’t too much about base building and like protecting yourself. Any recommendations? I want a game like last day on earth but want to avoid everything that comes with it being a mobile game. (p2w, energy, etc) Thanks.

Scary game?

I’m looking for games that can genuinely scare me and make me feel deeply uncomfortable. What games have truly frightened or unsettled you the most?
If they aren’t built around a traditional horror theme, that’s even better.
And don’t worry about trigger warnings—I’m looking for the really heavy stuff.

Suggest a Beginner Friendly Game on PS5

So I have recently purchased a Playstation 5, and I wanted to get used to gaming before making my hands dirty in those AAA games, and of course preparing for GTA6. As the whole scenario goes I have never been a gamer in my life, never experienced all those PS3,PS4,PSP,XBOX's and stuffs and never had a proper PC neither was I involved in any mobile gaming, the situation is as bad as that I have never even played Candy Crush. So...yeah of course I used to consume gaming content and always wished to play them myself and as I finally have the opportunity I want to understand gaming, and overall learn controls,aiming and stuff. Just wanted your opinion on this.

Bored of everything. looking for action singleplayer

im so bored of gaming right now and literally nothing hits anymore. i only ever have fun playing high intensity pvp with friends lately mostly cs2, mc bedwars, fortnite, gta, rust, and roblox rivals.

i want a solid singleplayer game i can actually grind alone, but standard solo games always make me quit because the pacing is too slow and i miss the action. we played sons of the forest and mc survival together which was fun, but trying them solo just feels like a chore and i get bored instantly.

im looking for an open world singleplayer game with action, cool mechanics, and solid boss fights that actually require good movement and fast reflexes. basically a PvE game that feels as sharp and mechanical as a PvP game so i don't lose interest.

running a max spec pc so performance doesn't matter, just need something that keeps me hooked. what should i get?

True freedom open world games

So I got exposed to Kenshi a few years ago and if you don't know Kenshi its basically a game where you have no direction or quest marker its just 'Here's a world and people that don't give a fuck about you, make something of yourself...or die we don't really care'

but the beauty of this is you have a huge world open to you and complete freedom to become a shopkeeper, the mafia, a warlord, a thief, a slave forced to do minimum wage for the rest of your life - truly anything, my first playthrough I bought a shop after 40 hours of stealing and selling from towns to get the money up to purchase the place, turned it into a bread and alcohol shop for the wasteland wanderers, made BANK, died to a cult after wandering too close getting things i needed for more bread making capabilities. 10/10

there isn't a game exactly like Kenshi, completely no direction, make your own stories while still having a blast, big open world to do said things in,

BUT surely someone has something similar to Kenshi's level of become whatever you want SURELY Kenshi isn't the only game that's done this

The steam sale has me SCAVENGING for a hidden gem like it something more modern if anyone has suggestions please! <3 love you for life

Just open world, freedom, become whatever you want, do whatever {preferably newer graphics but I'm okay with older} just has to have this level of 'Life simulator' just living in a game world making it your own

thanks for reading this far, stay cool >:)

Are open worlds always so tedious?

Hi, I only started gaming last year. To give you an idea, I’ve beaten eight games so far. However, I recently encountered a type of game I hadn't played before: "open-world games." And I have to say, the experience hasn't been as good as I imagined. The game is *Hogwarts Legacy*; while it’s good in some respects, I feel like it’s so vast yet so empty at the same time. I always pictured an open world as being packed with quests (which I love) and interesting places to explore, but the map is just full of random enemies, a few challenges, collectibles, and very tedious NPCs. But as I said, I don't have much experience, and I haven't looked anything up because I don't want to get spoilers for games I might play in the future. So, I just want a simple, spoiler-free answer: do all open-world games have this vibe, or is *Hogwarts Legacy* just an example of one that was poorly executed?

Weird or Strange games

I’m looking for some weird or strange games to play—maybe even creepy or unsettling ones. I want to be genuinely surprised. I’m looking for hidden gems or obscure games, not the usual stuff on Steam.

(I’m looking for a game that’s heavy and weird, but not just well-managed random nonsense, a game whose atmosphere makes you genuinely uncomfortable)

Should I play Dark Souls 3 or Yakuka Kiwami 2?

i just beat deltarune chapter 5 and I'm playing a modded playthrough of fallout 4 but its not scratching that itch. I know one of these two games in the post title would. I recently also beat bloodborne very early last month. I wish i could phrase this better but here we are. Oh and I can take both on the go and dock it since i own them for pc/steamdeck.

What's the best quality-of-life feature a multiplayer game has ever added?

Not every great update needs to be a huge expansion.

Sometimes it's the small quality-of-life improvements that make a game so much more enjoyable.

What's the best quality-of-life feature you've seen added to a multiplayer game

Examples:
🎯 Better matchmaking
💬 Improved voice or text chat
🎒 Inventory management
⚡ Faster loading times
🗺️ Better maps or navigation
👥 Party and friend systems

Or something completely different?

I'd love to hear which feature made the biggest difference for you.

Looking for competitive games BUT I have terrible internet

Hello everyone,

All in my gaming years I used to play competitive games and fps games, however know I am in a situation where my internet is really bad and I am not able to play games like that anymore.

I am looking for suggestions to what games could I play instead that could give me the same feeling like those games but mainly offline.

What I played in the past:
CS, LOL, SF6, OW, BF and COD games a bit of FIFA and racing games like Forza, Gran Turismo, F1.

I never really liked playing against AI but I have to somehow accept that its not possible now to play these kinds of games because my internet can not handle them.

Also it could be an online game, but only if a bad connection isn’t a problem. Like I thought about chess or some kind of card game (but I have to say card games are not my fav).

Thank you!!

I'm looking for a game that's easier to play than *Super Smash Bros. Melee*.

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of Melee clips on X.

They look really exhilarating and like a lot of fun, but

when I try playing Melee myself, I struggle with how hard it is

and end up playing really badly, which is frustrating.

Is there a Melee-like game out there

with great controls, a sense of exhilaration,

and that’s been tuned so anyone can enjoy playing it?

By the way, my favorite characters in those clips are Marth, Ganon, and Falcon!
