...OR I will refer to records as "vinyl CDs" like I did last time.

You have been warned.

Don't test me; I will do it!

Current games I have on my sights are:

The original Deus Ex

Ib

Infinity Nikki

Remnant II

Silent Hill II (through emulation)

Dragon's Dogma II

Slay the Princess

ELEX and ELEX 2

Dread Delusion

Daggerfall

Morrowind

Hylics 1 and 2

RuneScape 3 (not RuneScape Classic... I know, I know, don't hurt me!)

Currently playing:

Elden Ring (finishing it)

OMORI (slowly taking my time in finishing it)

Fallout 76 (much better than what it was at launch; if anyone wants to play with me, they may ask me)

Recently finished:

Disco Elysium

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (y'all should play both Pathfinder CRPG games)

Love:

CRPGs

MMORPGs (yes, even now)

Open-world games (...yes, even with the over-saturation)

Decision-making

Stealth games

Pacifist runs

Minor horror elements? Eh, idk, nothing, like, over-bearing, ig

Macabre horror (basically, horror that isn't horror; just has the aesthetic)

3D platformers (like Super fucking Mario; you know, the Italian-American voiced by Chris Pratt)

Mods, mods, mods

Not too fucking long; let me finish a game when I want to easily (so, basically, not, like, Persona 5-levels of long, idk)

Anything like Majora's Mask

"Nautical games" (Wind Waker, Dredge, etc.)

"Classic games" (basically, games through emulation)

VR games, oddly enough

"Cozy games"

"girl games" shovel-ware (basically, the precursor to "cozy games"; the type of shit you found on the Nintendo Wii)

Interactivity outside of the actual game (I don't know much about Pokemon Go... but what I do know is Pokemon Go to the polls)

Dungeon crawlers (think: King's Field)

Music with lyrics, idk (I don't know much about Quavo... but what I do know is Quavo go to the polls)

Good music. Banger music, even.

No loading screens; seriously, let me start up a game and just play. I feel like starting up a game nowadays is sometimes a whole process.

Non-Western games (...Eh, tbh, I don't really have a bias, I'm just sort-of interested in how they're developing and what they have to bring... SO think: Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Indian, African, Latin American, etc.)

Nintendo games...

...or anything LIKE a Nintendo game (with wacky gameplay, idk)

Autistic games... Okay, so far, I think OMORI is, like, the only "Autistic game" out there, but surprise me.

LGBTQIA+ games

BIPOC character games

... okay, that's all, you don't even have to follow these requirements at all; hell, be a little creative and use your own insight.

Okay... now...

...SHOOT!

(No, wait, put the gun away!)

    I mean, that's a pretty big playlist you got there.

    If you haven't played the original Thief games (Thief 1 and 2) I highly recommend them. If you like them, Thief 3 is subpar as a game, but completes the story, so also recommended. I'm feeling like you'll love them. They are definitely my favourite games of all time.

    Definitely try out System Shock too.

    Amnesia: The Bunker has been very fun horror

    Outward might suit your quest for short open-world RPGs/Dungeon Crawlers. Very unique game as far as I'm concerned.

    High Fleet and Crying Suns were both very decent decision-making games with really cool stories.

    If you are into deck-building games, I suggest Slay The Spire and Hellcard. They scratch that dungeon-crawling itch.

    I don't know if you'll like them, but since you want non-Western games: Dyson Sphere Program is a Chinese base-building resource-gathering management game (think Factorio, but actually pleasant). Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is a Slovakian city-building game, where you design and built a communist city-state nestled between the borders of the Soviet block and the Western block. It's actually the best city-builder I've ever played (and it's one of my favourite genres). Unfortunately, it has a very steep learning curve, and you'll probably need to dedicate time on some let's plays on youtube to get your bearings.

    I've recently finished Felvidek, which is a Slovak JRPG with minor eldritch horror elements, kick-ass music and pretty good writing. I think you'll like it. I certainly loved it.

    If you haven't played Chronotrigger before, then prioritize it.

    Currently I'm playing Cryptmaster. It's amazing. Highly recommended.

      Oho! I've heard great things about some of these games, tbh...

      Chrono Trigger, I might skip. I know people swear by it, but I'm no good when it comes to JRPGs; I always get bored by them, no matter how acclaimed.

      Outward sounds like my jam though; I've had my sights on it here and there; oh yeah, and the System Shock remake and new Amnesia game look pretty nice, no doubt.

      As for my hefty play-list, I've had these games on my sights for a while and I've been playing more and more games lately and finishing them more and more... but, of course, I probably won't finish the current play-list and will LIKELY change it here and there as I go through it, taking a lot of them out and playing other games instead.

        Fair enough on Chrono Trigger. It's an amazing game, but it might be about 30-40 hours of 100% complete gameplay. On that note though, my other JRPG recommendation (Felvidek) is much shorter. I finished it in about 8-10 hours.

        Anyway, hope you have fun.

        And by the way, you CAN NOT threaten me with vinyl CDs, I already call them that :D

          "And by the way, you CAN NOT threaten me with vinyl CDs, I already call them that :D"

          Raises hands like Walter White.

          Hhm. You got me.
