I'm immunocompromised and continuing to stay at home and single player games really help me get through it. I've played a lot of games (especially the past 2.5 years), so dig deep and give me a good recommendation that you don't think I've played.

I'm into most genres, but not super into loot games or ubisoft open world style games. Love smaller indie titles. I love some JRPGs (Trails, DQ11, Yakuza, FF), hate others (Persona). Yeah I just said I hate persona, get over it. BoTW , Death Stranding, and Elden Ring are some of my favorite "big" games recently. The Trails JRPG series is probably my favorite overall series.

I just finished up Return to Monkey Island and really liked it (was a big fan of LucasArts adventures in the 90s), but I can't play back to pack point and click games so maybe cool off on that.

Been playing a lot of Ooblets while working out lately, so probably not gonna be receptive to any Animal Crossing / Stardew style games rn. Btw check out Ooblets if you like those kinds of games.

    Hollow Knight, Celeste, Hades, Outer Wilds, Fallout New Vegas, Disco Elysium.

    These are all very good suggestions! Maybe I should finally get around to Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium. Anyone here know if Disco's console port is an alright way to play?

    And I bought Kor, forgot to install it, and forgot to play it. Damn my ADHD. I'll check out our comrade's game!

      I'm pretty sure admitting to not having played Disco Elysium on this website is a bannable offense

          yeah but the text is funny. bumbling your way into horrible situations by saying things you'd never say IRL in a million years is addiction-inducing.

      Outer Wilds :meow-bounce:

      You owe it to yourself to go in as blind as possible. It's truly wonderful and really without comparison.

      I didn't play any of the Disco Elysium ports but I did play with a controller and a big TV and while not ideal, it was perfectly playable.
