Well, Pinball is a top-down game, but I've included it in the games I like because it's one of the first games I've played. If I played it now without any preconception or nostalgia, I probably wouldn't like it.

Oh really? Then I'll take a look.

Judging by the name, I thought Spec Ops: The Line would be a Counter-Strike ripoff, but since it has The Line™ in its name, then surely it must be a The Stanley Parable ripoff./jk

Psychonauts seems to have a bit of cartoon/fantasy elements to it.

I've played a bit of the OG Scribblenauts way back, it was a bit fun.

I'll be checking out Spec Ops: The Line and BeamNG.

So it's basically like Subnautica, but with less sci-fi and aliens? Hmmm....

[–] greenmed123@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be checking Thief and INFRA out!

This looks fun, let's wait for it to be released.

No, Dishonored seems to have supernatural elements, while Bioshock and System Shock seem to have some sci-fi elements.

Yeah, being isometric does help. Though the thing that steers me away from Disco Elysium is not the text-heaviness (which I don't really mind), nor the RPGness (since it seems that it's been implemented quite uniquely in this game), but that there may be some kind of alien insects (?) in the game.

[–] greenmed123@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, these have already been recommended to me by other users. I'll be checking them out soon.

I've seen my friend play Sekiro before, and it did look pretty and fun. It seems similar to Sifu,. but with swords (?). I'd love to play it if it wasn't so difficult.

[–] greenmed123@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Saints' Row seems perfect for me! Outer Wilds has been recommended by another user so I'll be checking that out as well.

Among the three games you listed, Return of the Obra Dinn seems most interesting. Subnautica and Infinifactory still looks a little too sci-fi/alien-y for my tastes. Though regarding Infinifactory, I may seem to have played something like it before (which I forgot to include in the first list): 7 Billion Humans. I guess Infinifactory is more of a mechanical version of that...?

 

I'm a casual gamer who's been largely inactive for the past few decades, and so I'm looking for some some good game recommendations. I don't mind if they're old as long as they came out after 2003 (because that's when graphics of many games really started improving), maybe between 2008-2019. I'm also quite a picky gamer.

Here is a list of games that I've played before and that I liked (in no particular order):

  • The Stanley Parable

  • Counter-Strike Global Offensive

  • OpenRCT 2
  • OpenTTD
  • The Sims 4
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • Tetris (any other implementation I've tried)
  • Solitaire on Windows XP

Here are games I would like to avoid:

  • Battle Royale / Deathmatch- style games (Fortnite, PUBG, etc.)
  • MOBAs (League of Legends, Mobile Legends, etc.)
  • Hero shooters (Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, etc.)
  • Games with fantasy-based elements (Skyrim, The Witcher, Souls games etc.)
  • RPGs
  • Side-scrollers / Shoot-em-ups / Top-down games
  • Platformers
  • Horror/supernatural games (Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc.)
  • Management games (Civilization, Cities: Skylines, etc.)
  • Artillery games
  • Outer-space/post-apocalyptic games (Halo, Fallout, etc.)
  • Cookie clickers / Walking simulators
  • Rhythm games
  • Sports games
  • Game adaptations of existing media (Star Wars games, Arkham games, etc.)
  • Board/card/gambling/collectible/gacha games\
  • Games that have microtransactions/required DLCs
  • Text adventures / Visual novels
  • Trivia games
  • VR games

Other than that, everything is fair game. I don't have any aversion towards graphic language/gore/sex.

My tastes might be too specific, but I hope someone here may be able to provide me with a recommendation!
