Third person action games with a good story? (Melee based would be preferred but non melee would do as well) (No First person games though).

Games that I liked:

  1. GOW (both 2018 and Ragnarok)

  2. AC Black Flag Resynced

  3. Spiderman (1 and Miles Morales, will try the second one next)

  4. Witcher 3

  5. Batman Arkham (all)

  6. Uncharted 4

  7. Mass Effect (haven't played Andromeda yet)

Games that I didn't like:

  1. Horizon Zero Dawn (played it for like 3 hours and it was so bland)

  2. Assassin's Creed Post Origins (too bloated)

Basically games where there's a good amount of dialogue.

Deep story games?

I've finished the Life is Strange Series, RDR2 (though I'd be interested in hearing if RDR1 is worth my money), Firewatch and Detroit Become Human. I'm looking for games like those that will take me time and also have a deep enough story. I obviously don't mind combat or anything, but for me I want the game to be story driven the entire time, not several fighting missions and then a little story. The only genre I don't like is Horror.

indie Game where the villain is an actual villain

I played tons of indie and all of em lately been following a trope that the bad guy is not actually evil but a victim to the tragedy or the system of the world.

Is there even any indie game where the bad guy is actually evil and you cant really have any good reason to side with them?

the bad guy must be a sentient being so not animal (sentient furry is ok) or a monster. try to recommend me niche stuff or just list as much as you like because chances are i already played them probably.

no FPS game, i hate them. preferably 2D platformer but as long as its not FPS im alright with it.

new to switch: good game for skyrim hater but rpg enjoyer

got my switch secondhand recently, and have only played a couple games. I really enjoy it from my limited experience but I think i’m super picky.

LOVED breath of the wild (and previously enjoyed all other zelda titles) and love Persona 5 Royal. Have been trying to play skyrim for a month but i just really don’t enjoy it, and im done forcing myself to like it.

Things I loved about breath of the wild:
The open world and sense of exploration, the main quest, the art style, the chill vibe, the combat, zelda

Things I loved about persona 5:
The characters and story, quite like the turn based combat, art style and world, the whole scheduling time based aspect, once again quite chill.

Playing skyrim just genuinely makes me nauseous. I also just get really overwhelmed playing as there’s so much to do and I have genuinely no interest in doing any of it. maybe it’s the medieval setting and art style. I started it because I was under the impression i was just an RPG enjoyer and would be down for anything but I was wrong.

Going into so much detail because when I get into a game I really really love it and it’s such effective escapism for me and I just got a new job I hate so need it bad 🙏🙏 I like blind buying games but I feel so guilty spending £40 on a game just to not enjoy it. pls give me some switch game recs based on my super limited likes and experience thank u!!! I think preferably an RPG but literally anything.

Looking for something to play on weekends/off work

I work odd hours (11AM - 8PM, Mon - Fri) and basically have a few hours post work or weekends to play games. I am growing tired of MOBAs and competitive PVP games, just want something to ease my mind off for a few hours or enjoy exploring on weekends.

Here is a list of SP games I enjoyed so I don't get them as recommendations. and so you have an insight into what I enjoy.

- RDR2
- Ghost of Tsushima
- GOW 2018 & Ragnarok
- 007 First Light
- All Resident Evil games post RE7
- All GTA games
- All CoD games
- All Hitman games
- Most of Far Cry games except for New Dawn or FC6
- Most of Need for Speed games except really old ones pre-Most Wanted
- Dying Light
- Rise of Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider
- Detroit Become Human
- REANIMAL
- Max Payne Games
- Uncharted 3 & 4

That's all I can remember off the top of my head, it doesn't necessarily have to be primarily a storytelling game, just anything you can play and enjoy it.
