r/gamingsuggestions

I really wanted to like KCD1 but it’s a bit too full on and janky for me. I haven’t played 2 but I assumed I wouldn’t like it because of my dislike of 1.

Don’t entirely mind a fantasy setting but I’m mainly looking for a medieval world, playing as a knight with cool combat. PS5 only please.

I have a feeling this is a long shot because I’ve probably played them all.

I’ve played (from memory) The Witcher 3 (Geralt’s not a knight, I know), Crimson Desert, Mordhau, Chivalry 2, KCD1.

I’m leaning towards getting Timberborn but I’m not sure yet! I wanted to pick reddits brain about these three games. Thanks!

edit: Im looking for a game that’s kind of chill. I do want it to have some strategy but not be overly complex. Something more like a civ game and not a paradox’s game if that makes sense.

I've been trying to keep up with new games this year so that when the game awards come around, I can have informed conversations. Looking for suggestions on what I definitely need to play. It can be any genre, but you'll notice I love RPGs and I don't love horror games. Below is what I've played and my ratings. Also, I plan to play Big Walk I just haven't been able to organize my friends into playing yet.

Hi there! I'd love to play a vampire or witch hunter, in the mold of van Helsing (or Geralt of Rivia, so let's get that one out of the way, ha!)

Any platform is fine, and any genre. Thanks a lot for ideas!

I’ve had Wildlands and Breakpoint on my radar. Thoughts?

Played Arma Reforger, had my fun with it but it started to get boring.

Have played the division in the past.

Don’t really feel like playing Cod or Battlefield.

What’s a game with a good community I can get into? Been having the itch to play something of this genre.

I’m on PS5 btw

I'm mainly thinking of the Persona (and Refantazio) games that actually go deeper into philosophy than you would expect them at first sight.

I’ve been looking for a new story game to play on my PlayStation and I’ve been deciding between Detroit become human and Uncharted 4, some of my favorite story games are the last of us pt 1-2, rdr2, and dying light. If you have any suggestions on any other story games or which one out of the two I mentioned above I would greatly appreciate it!

I have played Pathfinder WOTR and the necromancy mythic path was very cool! However, I'm a glutton and I want more. PLEASE tell me if you know any games where you can become an undead or a lich. I also love RPGs where you can be evil!

Games with necromancy (to some capacity) that I've already played :

- BG3

- BG1 & BG2

- Every Dragon Age game

- Divinity OS II

- World of Warcraft

- Pathfinder WOTR (as mentioned)

Games I haven't played but heard they have necromancy gameplay and would love to hear your thoughts on! :

- A Necromancer's Tale (I heard the gameplay was nothing crazy but the writing is good?)

- Diablo II

- Path of Exile

- Icewind Dale (I've heard it has necromancy but does it work the same as BG1 & 2?)

- Neverwinter Nights

Willing to try out 4X strategy games like Age of Wonders or something but I've never really played the genre. Idk, at this point I might be desperate.

Also, I own skyrim but never played much. I've heard you can play a necromancer though? Sort of? Seems like it's better with mods maybe.

Hello,

I’m a dad with a lot going on outside of changing diapers and attending to the endless wants and needs of a 6-month old. As you can probably imagine, I enjoy the “me-time” hours between 9 and 11. Immensely.

However, I’m in a bit of rut: I can’t find anything that suits my own wants and needs. I am a gamer who doesn’t really like games with a strong focus on its story. My logic is, I’m better off spending the time I’d be doing that watching a movie with my wife. I also love a grind, which makes things even trickier given my circumstances.

I’ve considered a few games, Path of Exile 2, Warframe, and some single player games that I’ve seen suggest online. But thought I would take my dilemma to the sub for gaming suggestions.

Given what I’ve written here, suggest me some suggestions. Please.

I would really like a choice based game which is kind of like an interactive movie in the same way that The Quarry is- no super demanding gameplay segments, but ability to make important choices, choose between dialogue options, etc. I would absolutely love something which doesn't have a super serious tone/is maybe a little bit silly or funny and even better if there's any romance options. The more likeable the characters the better. I'm stuck with and xbox one so please bear that in mind 😭. Thank you!!

long story short i don’t want to buy nintendo console but i would’ve love to give series a try or even something similar would do for now

I'm looking for a new Xbox game I can really sink my teeth into and potentially put hundreds of hours into.

I've realized I really enjoy games where I'm in control, my decisions matter, and I'm building something over time. I want to manage, strategize, solve problems, grow in power, and eventually look back and feel like I built this.

I'm open to almost any setting. Kingdoms, armies, civilizations, colonies, businesses, politics, economics, resource management, etc.

I actually want complexity. I don't mind learning systems, watching tutorials, making mistakes, or restarting. I want something that gets deeper the more I understand it.

I especially like the idea of starting small and earning my way into power, rather than immediately being handed an empire.

Games currently on my radar are Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, Crusader Kings III, Stellaris, RimWorld, Anno 1800, and Civilization. Bannerlord especially interests me because of starting as basically nobody and eventually building an army/kingdom while actually participating in battles.

But I'm not necessarily looking for medieval or even strictly strategy games. I'm chasing that feeling of control, progression, and building something that's mine.

I'm on Xbox Series X.

Basically: Give me a game that will have me reading guides when I'm not playing because I can't stop thinking about what I'm going to do next.

What game did that for you?

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a game or games that gives me that dopamine hit when I look at my character/save file/world and think to myself "damn I did all this and I am satisfied". That feeling of satisfaction and growth keeps me playing.

For context I love MMO's, RPG's/JRPG's and sandbox games. I love Warframe and Monster Hunter for the sense of growth and progression these games give me and the learning curve of them and build crafting keeps me coming back for more, plus the progression of your character and seeing it become a powerhouse is like crack for me.

I'm not a really big fan of rougelikes and I'm sure this genre fills this suggestion perfectly, but I really don't like the gameplay loop of rougelikes: start run, get items to get stronger, finish run, unlock stuff to help you in future runs, repeat. I don't enjoy starting over and over to get that sense of growth.

Sorry if this suggestion is a little vague but if y'all got something that fits this I'll be more than happy to read them!

Im looking for a game (preferablly on console) that would let me have a very in depth beast master play style (not like palworld where you can summom one at a time and it just hits things with little rhyme or reason). I want an experience like im megumi from jjk and get to chain all these diffrent animals/beasts/creatures toghether. Been having a rly hard time finding something like this.

What I mean by controlling a single ship is like, commanding a ship to use special abilities or using only a specific turret to shoot at the enemies.

Reason I say single ship is because sometimes you lose appreciation for cool ship designs compared to something like an RTS.

It could be tactics, third person or anything really, though preferably ones where I can control capital ships.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad with the following specs:

CPU - i7-1165G7

GPU - Intel Iris Xe Graphics

16GB DDR4 RAM

I don't want any games that are too violent or intense, just in case a kid is sat in the row behind me.

I like RPGs, light shooters, exploration, etc. Not Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Terraria, etc.

Some I like:

Rome Total War

early Baldur's Gate, Planescape, Arcanum, etc.

KOTOR, Mass Effect, etc.

Think offline games as well.

Thank you!

Not necessarily a specific franchise or sequel, I mean a game/concept you keep looking for and nothing quite scratches that itch.

Could be a weird combination of genres, a setting nobody uses, or even something ridiculously specific.

What’s yours?

Bonus points if someone in the comments can recommend a game that actually matches what another person is describing 👀
