Hey all, I’m on the hunt for games that really suck you into their world, the kind where you look up and suddenly three hours have gone by.

Games I’ve loved and couldn't put down:

Plague Tale
Horizon
Subnautica
Mass Effect
Expedition 33
Homeworld

Doesn’t matter the gente, as long as it’s got that vibe where you just exist in the atmosphere and forget about everything else.

What are your go-to games when you want to disappear into another world? Bonus appreciation if it’s something underrated or off the beaten path.

Edit: Thank you all. I will definitely keep this thread bookmarked. You all dwarved what I found on Reddit ir any other platform! Well done!

Isnt rdr2 just wild west gta? Why not just shoot back or reload and avoid him? I'm just curious

I did try a few times, died each time. So moved on for a bit but quickly lost interest in it sadly. I'm sure I'll give it another shot down the road somewhere and get better enjoyment out of it then.
