Hello everyone!

Steam is having a big sales week, so I was wondering whether Horizon Zero Dawn was worth it. I’ve heard mixed opinions about it, people saying that it’s “the best game ever” and others saying that it’s “a glorified RPG mobile game”.

I love deep meaningful open world games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Kingdom Come Deliverance and so on.

What do you all think about it? Is Horizon Zero Dawn worth it?

hi im thing of buying some games during the steam sale and im looking at arc raider or cyber punk 2077. Right now i can only buy one of them so which one do you guys think I should buy. Other games ive played is gta 5 ( story and online) red dead redemption 2 black ops 7 multiplayer and halo infinte. Also if you recommend cyberpunk 2077 should i buy the phantom liberty dlc right now or finish the base game then buy it. Thanks

Hey guys, I badly need your help deciding on these games. I am new to gaming. Which do you think is the best among the three? I'm limiting myself to only get one for now, and these three are relatively close in price in Steam's Autumn Sale. Which do you think is the best in general? (story-wise and gameplay).

Looking for games with spears, servival games, mmo's, rpg's, or single player games, I know of all darksouls games and bloodborne, outward, grounded, valheim, any others you would subjest?

Looking to get a few games to get into my backlogs currently and always like spear game play, at times hard to find games that have them.

Always loved passively making space bucks with my planetary mines. Playing the market. Finding a niche to set up crafting for. Space trucking my goods around to sell them. EVE was so much more than the sum of its parts back then. The music, mood, ship design, danger was all so welcoming.

Is there anything like that anymore?

I was remembering old Star wars galaxies days and it got me nostalgic. I think eve is a very different game now than it was, probably not what im lookign for anymore.

I know of Kenshi I dont thinknthats what I want. And I dont want to be a medieval shopkeeper or villager.

I know two different games entirely but in between pre ordering GTA and buying wolverine, I only want to purchase one before GTA releases as I’m only about 30% through wolverine.

I heard the story is really good in zero company and the world is exceptional in control but gameplay feels repetitive.

Could I get your suggestions?

I played the resident evil games lately and right now they are in a discount for the steam sales, but i cannot decide which to buy, i feel like i would love both but once i start a game i like to hyperfocus on that specific game and finish it, even sometimes i take my time to collect all the archivements.

What's your call here

I'm trying to decide between a PS5 Disc and Xbox Series X. I already have a Windows gaming PC, so I'm leaning towards Xbox because of Play Anywhere. If I buy a supported game on Xbox, I can also play it on PC.

But I'm wondering about the downsides of both. Xbox has fewer exclusives I'm interested in, and I'm also wondering if it's worth buying a Series X now with the next-gen Xbox coming.

For PS5, I'm concerned about DRM/online requirements for some physical games, expensive digital games, also the back stabbing themselves repeatedly and the fact that many PlayStation games eventually come to PC.

Which one would make more sense for someone who already has a gaming PC?

I'm trying to decide which game released in 2026 I should buy, and I'd love to hear from people who have actually played these games.

The games I'm considering are:

• Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake
• PRAGMATA
• 007 First Light
• The Blood of Dawnwalker
• Onimusha
• Silent Hill: Townfall
• CONTROL: Resonant

If you've played all of them or even just some of them, how would you rank them from worst to best?

I'd especially appreciate it if you could explain why you ranked them that way, things like story, gameplay, atmosphere, combat, exploration, characters, length, replayability, and overall quality.

I'm mainly trying to figure out which one is the best buy, so if you could only recommend one of these, which would you pick?

Hey everyone!

I’ve never played a single horror game in my life, but I’ve been seeing so much praise for Resident Evil 4 Remake lately. The gameplay looks incredible, and the franchise overall seems amazing.

Here’s my situation:

I played The Last of Us Part 1 & 2. I loved the games overall, but I really struggled with the claustrophobic/dark sections (especially the Stalker encounters in TLOU2 and dark basements). I found them way too stressful and honestly didn't enjoy those specific parts at all.
I'm planning to play RE4R on PC with Keyboard + Mouse.

I know RE4 is generally more action-oriented than pure horror, but I'm still worried about hitting a wall if it gets too terrifying or oppressive.
For those who played it:

1 Is RE4R manageable for someone with low horror tolerance?

2 Does it have many "stalker-like" dark/stealth horror sections, or is it mostly intense action where you can just shoot your way out?

3 Would playing on Assisted mode or using manual saves frequently ruin the experience, or is it a good way to enjoy the story and gameplay?

Thanks for your advice!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a game that really fits a specific vibe, and I'm having a hard time finding one.

The most important thing: I want a MEDIEVAL setting. Not just generic fantasy with magic — I want the world to actually feel like the Middle Ages: castles, villages, forests, medieval weapons, armor, ruins, fortresses, etc.

I'm looking for:

Strong medieval setting/aesthetic — this is VERY important.

Dark fantasy atmosphere.

Real-time combat, not turn-based.

Online co-op for 2 players, preferably the entire campaign together.

Xbox.

An explorable/open world with interesting places to discover.

Random/handcrafted medieval structures, ruins, villages, castles, fortresses, dungeons, etc.

A proper story/campaign and progression.

Preferably third-person or first-person.

Good graphics and an immersive world.

Ideally just me and my friend playing together, rather than an MMO with hundreds of other players.

I'm not really looking for a Soulslike. Lords of the Fallen looks amazing aesthetically, but the Soulslike gameplay isn't what I'm looking for.

Some games I've considered:

Valheim — I like the exploration, building and discovering structures, but I'm not sure it has enough of the medieval dark-fantasy/RPG feeling I'm looking for.

Outward — seems interesting and has the co-op and RPG aspects, but I'm unsure if it has the level of immersion and medieval atmosphere I'm looking for.

Elder Scrolls Online — seems to have the world and medieval fantasy setting, but I'm not sure about the MMO aspect.

Lords of the Fallen — almost perfect aesthetically, but I'm not looking for a Soulslike.

The Witcher 3 — basically the type of world/aesthetic I love, but unfortunately there's no co-op campaign.

So, what game would you recommend that comes closest to all of this?

I'm especially interested in something that makes you feel like you're actually living in a dark medieval fantasy world and exploring it with a friend.

Thanks!

Yes, I wrote this text on chatgpt because I don't know English very well, so if the writing is strange, I apologize.

Just looking for any opinions on these games and if i should buy em or not!
