...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 will recommend
"Sable" a cozy and chill exploration game
"Tyranny" the most interesting crpg i have played and a strong contender for my favorite tho i think pathfinder WOTR has that pretty well locked down
and "Wrought flesh" a frantic and downright disgusting fps trying to emulate the feel of early fpss its short and pretty great
also u should totally play slay the princess its amazing and one of the best and most interesting games i have played in years.
I already played Tyranny.
Didn't like it though.
You're not alone. I didn't like Tyranny either and i am normally a pretty big fan of CRPGs. For some reason that game really missed the mark for me, but i can't explain why.
I'll be honest: the "you're the bad guy, oh, but don't worry, you're actually good or necessary or whatever" type-of story that I see here and there always seems to overly rely on its own gimmick and its gimmick is pretty much boring and if they truly carried it to its logical conclusion people would hate it.
So we basically have the "fake bad guy" as a protagonist, say they're the "bad guys" and then call it a day.
The only thing that changes is the aesthetics.
