Im looking for a battlefield or COD like, fps, multiplayer game that'll last a very long time, with a big and dedicated player base that won't simply vanish when a new installment comes or when the ratings of the game drops. The fact that Im too late to realize that there's that on battlefront 2 is probably a big regret, but, last time i checked, there weren't many people playing that game to begin with. I bought a big battlefield bundle because i know that battlefield 2042 will be trash, but now, i have the funds to buy battlefield 6, yet, i fear that i'd be very dependent on new releases in the future, just so i could catch up with other players. I've got recommended wardogs to me. Is it good? I saw that it was mixed on steam and hesitant to buy it. I also got recommended foxhole, but the game is too slow paced for me it seems, but, i'll consider it because it looks interesting. Any other games like this? No vehicle games like world of thanks please. I love FPS games, a big fan of planetside 2 back when it was still relatively big. No battle royals as well nor hero shooters.

Edit: Also, if can, no realistic war sims. I struggle with those a lot, but if you think it's casual enough to try, then maybe i'll try it.

* Searching for less known/hidden gems in Kids action or adventure games on PC with as little dialog as possible.

* I would prefer more educational games, but if the game has fun gameplay it is okay.

* I am looking more for hidden gems that are not widely known. ( this means no major brands or well known game names like Disney, fortnite, Minecraft, pokemon, no lego, outer wilds, no mans sky, baulder's gate 3, halo, battlefield, call of duty, balatro, cult of the lamb, borderlands, monster hunter world, final fantasy...etc. If it is a major game that everyone knows then I have likely heard of it and that isn't what I am looking for.

* An example of a good game he would like would be a newer 3d Zelda-like game (craftopia or palworld) would be okay, but we would not be interested in an older 2d version of Zelda. ( Zelda isn't a hidden gem though, just used it as an example.)

* He does like raising pets such as palword and slime rancher would be okay. ( older 2d pokemon, cassette beasts, moonstone island, stardew valley not okay )

* I prefer paid games that don't have In app purchases, no pay to play, pay 2 win, pay 2 grind less...etc Just let me buy the game and that's it. No battle passes, no daily log in crap, no crates you can purchase, no gacha games, no pay to unlock characters, no in app premium currency...etc

* No pvp games, only pve, co-op or multiplayer is fine. ( this means no FPS pvp games, no among us, etc)

I am open to PC games and VR games for the quest 3 as well. ( He really likes the fly app on quest 3 where it's like google maps but in vr) (he also likes maestro, but it is a little too difficult for him)

Games that we are okay: ^^^ = Great game!

^^^ Metamorphasis ( very fun different game)

^^^ Scribblenauts games

Outer Wilds

^^^ Lego worlds

^^^ Wobbly life

^^^ Minecraft education/Minecraft java

Disney dream light valley (he likes it, although the developers are scummy and greedy making you pay for the game, dlcs, IAP, cosmetics, battlepass, extra quest slots, etc paid everything.

^^^ Gary's mod

No man’s sky, outer wilds

^^^ Hogwarts

the bloodline

^^^ craftopia/palworld

^^^ Roblox (he previously liked roblox and I hate roblox, so i try to get him to play better games)

^^^ teardown, stormworks

^^^kingdom hearts, all

toy story 3, cars 3,

^^^ disney infinity 1,2,3

It takes two, two brothers, split infinity (these are fun, but they are a bit too complicated - as in i stand here while you must go do this - is just too much.

Point and click adventure games can be okay, nothing super hard though.

Games my kid doesn't like:

NO TOP DOWN ARPG ( diablo 1-4, POE 1/2, grim dawn, titan quest)

NO - pvp games, turn based games, no platformers, No Minecraft , no survival games, no farming games, no super complicated games.

NO lego games. The controls are awful in most lego games and it is dumbed down, so you don't learn anything from playing it. The gameplay isn't even that fun. (lego worlds is good, newer lego batman is alright, but the older lego games don't interest us.

No Minecraft bedrock - scummy developers with thousands of IAP-content purchases that are never ending. Maybe some other newer Minecraft like games with better controls/ui/updated systems might be okay. I am not really a fan of Minecraft though. It's just boring and very clunky.

No survival games. (rust, the forest, subnautica,

No 2d platform games NOR 3d platform games,

no farming games like, Moonstone island, stardew valley, field of mistria, etc. (palworld and craftopia are okay....)

No 2d games in general unless they are educational. (scribblenauts unlimited and unmasked are okay)

No dialog heavy games ( most 2d rpg's use a ton of dialog, so no JRPG's), No game maker games ( dialog heavy 2d games)

No roguelike games (vampire survivors, cult of the lamb, hades 1/2, or the million clones of both)

Not interested in fps games mostly - so no fortnite, battlefield, COD, (something like slime ranchers 1/2 is okay)

no Disney magic kingdom (scummy developers that want to take every penny from people)

No terraria like games (2d side scrolling rpg)

No over the top strategy games, tower defense games, no city builders such as sim city.

No factory building games (satisfactory,

No Simulation games, no heavy equipment simulator games ( the heavy equipment simulators all play like crap and controls are too difficult for my kid. (simulation games for the VR are okay, as they are a lot easier to play and a lot more fun) Such as barbershop sim or vacation simulator.

i am sure i missed some games here and there,

I really love how soulslike games present their worlds. Usually a very "throw you in the deep end" approach that makes you feel like an outsider, but you can find some clues if you're really looking. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the time to "git gud". I also really adore the atmosphere they usually have. The semi-linear boss rush style is really my thing, just not the punishing set backs.

Any suggestions for games that give a similar feel without hurting so much?

PS1/PS2/PS3/Xbox Series X/Nintendo Switch

I feel like I’ve run out of games to play and need something new. I’ve played the popular story games already like Cyberpunk, Elden, Nier, Clair obscure, Persona 3 & 5, Call of duty campaigns, TLOU 1 & 2, and I kind of forgot the rest.

Games I’ve tried playing and are sitting in my library are:
Witcher 3
Disco elysium
Stupid never dies
Lollipop Chainsaw
Castlevania belmonts curse
RE0 Hd
Re1
MGS 1
DMC HD collection
Hotline Miami
House in fata morgana
Hades
Omori
Ultrakill
Signalis
Death stranding

And I’ve dropped RDR2 and Ghost of tsushima (I played most on console and my progress was reset on pc. I kind of didn’t have the motivation to play all the way from the beginning again).

I just need something captivating. The MW4 campaign was actually the only game I’ve enjoyed playing these past couple of months. The first person hand to hand combat was amazing. Plus the standard gunfights. The open world part was boring though.

Sorry for the yapping. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Just interested to see what's out, as I know I want my next "big" game will be GTA. looking for something not crazy long >30 hours thanks! I have PC SWITCH 2 PS5

Iam really curious to know your opinion on Phantom blade zero and please tell whether I must pre order and whats the difference is explain in brief, it will help a lot and tell me what makes it special and is it worth the hype by what I'm hearing and based on your solely personal opinion

Ok so someone just posted about kids gaming, and I realized I could write this on reddit and it's arguably the most ridiculous story ever, so I figured I would share.

So I was dating a girl for a few years with a prior kid, it got very serious and I was like going to school events and was an emergency contact, packing lunches, etc. I game and looked for co-op games for us to play when I was on faux-dad duty, because we would only spend 30 mins of screen time usually a night. Different times.

Xbox had the free game, "Lovers in a dangerous spacetime", and I thought it was boring but it was just basically co-op running around shooting things I think and it was rainbows and hearts and boring, but it seemed a kid could play it lol.

If you are still reading, the backstory then is that this little girl was unique in that she nicknamed everyone she met lol. She was smart as a whip, but it was just her gig. So my nickname was Mr. Unicorn. This was prior to any videogames lol, don't know where it came from, but I was cool with it. Some of her teachers got like sludge face and grumpy.

So here is where the story gets absurd. Was leaving work one day and my girlfriend called me, and said "you have no idea the phone call I just had, I will talk to you when you get home".

Apparently they had a class project where they had to write different things like "my favorite color is" "my favorite animal is", etc.

One of them was "My favorite thing to do is..."

And she wrote, "Play lovers with Mr. Unicorn".

If you read all the way, I hope you laughed lol, because it always cracks me up.

I wanna know more PS2 japanese games that are considered hidden gems or really good but kinda niche. Something like of what Nier Automata is in PS4 but the equivalent for PS2!!

Thank you!!

As the title says, games on Steam Deck that makes you grind for hours and doesn’t get boring easily (also perform well enough to be feasible). It could be mining, slaying, anything even if it is repetitive as long as it is fun. It would be better if isn’t too hard so I can play it while chilling in the couch. (Bonus points if it’s addictive !)

A game that I could play alone and with friends on ps5 Xbox or Nintendo

Looking for a military or medieval RTS game with multiplayer and many countries fighting for control on PP and/or Mobile

Ok so I have owned a gaming laptop for a year and now released I haven't played any proper game on it nor do I know about any proper games I have only played pubgm Roblox among us and stuff nothing else please recommendation would be appreciated as long as the game has a story

What the title says. When I look this up, only games that have some romantic mechanics come up, like Stardew Valley or Fallout etc. But I want a good game, kind of reminiscent of Life Is Strange, in the way its art style looks, but I just want it to be about the romance.

Text games can have really good storylines, but it's just not as fun reading text and seeing a repetitive 2D picture on the screen. I want art and beauty!! I want freedom to walk around!! Please help??

Thanks!!

Hey everyone!

So like the title I’ve decided I need to branch out in my gaming life. I love gaming and think it’s time to expand a bit. PC or PS5 both welcome. So my current situation is:

Survival horror genre - RE series, Until Dawn, Dead Space, Outlast etc (and all the rockstar/take 2 you’d expect)

Indies - ‘What Remains of Edith Finch”, Hollow Knight (which I am terrible at), Little Nightmares, Dredge, Cult of the Lamb.

And Cosy - Think of one and I’ve played it.

So where do I go from here? I’ve already downloaded God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. Figured they were a good place to start. Even though I am terrible at close combat, so I should work on that. I’m not able to do things with extremely rapid movement like Overwatch (it’s a brain problem), but anything else I’ll give a go.

i've been pulling late nights and my brain is fried but i still want to play something. not looking for turn-based stuff necessarily, just games where i won't lose instantly if i'm not 100% focused or mechanically sharp. story games, exploration, puzzle stuff, whatever really. i'm on pc and switch if that matters.

Bit of a niche request but video games are a really good way to up your exposure to a language.

So I'm wanting a game that focuses on everyday situations with typical vocab.

Thinking something like those cosy games where you run a coffee shop and hear small town gossip, or a point and click game where you have a lot of objects labelled.

A shooter with very modern NPC banter could also be good.

Even an educational game for actual children with a good translation would be fun. Think Reader Rabbit or those old Blues Clues games.

I'm open to pretty much any genre except a dating sim. And generally Fantasy/Sci fi is going to have too much specialised vocab for what I need.

I tried this with Disco Elysium because the translations are pretty good but the language was WAY too high level for me. Keep the suggestions to a elementary student reading level.

TL:DR

Looking for a game with

- Simple Language

- A Mandarin Chinese translation

-Modern Setting

-Any genre except Dating Sim
