Trying to decide which one to get. Dragon's Dogma 2 got the new dlc and performance improvements and I've always wanted to try it but I've heard the story is mid and there's no mob variety. I'm super biased towards bethesda because skyrim is my most favourite game, which is why I want to get oblivion remastered. Someone made a mod that makes the performance better so I'm more inclined to pick that up now. I know starfield is super underwhelming but that's also a game that I've wanted to play ever since it came out.

Overall, I just want a game that I can sink hours into. I want to take my time and immerse myself in the world. If you guys have any other suggestions, I'm open to them too. (I already have tainted grail and I haven't been able to get into it)

Specs: Intel Core Ultra 9 185H | RTX 4090 125W | 32GB LPDDR5

Update: I think I'll just get all of them, I can't decide between them lmao. Thank you all for your comments!

This might be a bit of a silly question, but hear me out.

I'm generally a pretty tough-minded person (or at least, I like to think I am 😅), so cozy games aren't usually the first thing that comes to mind when I look for something to play. Lately, though, I've been wanting to find a game that's genuinely relaxing, something I can just sit back and enjoy without constantly having to think too hard or deal with too much stress.

Stardew Valley keeps coming up in recommendations, and I've noticed that it has an absolutely amazing reputation. The thing is, its pixel art style doesn't really appeal to me at first glance. I'm usually more drawn to games with more visually impressive graphics, so I'm a little hesitant to give it a try.

But the more I hear people talk about how good it is, the more curious I get.

So, for those of you who've played it, do you think Stardew Valley could win someone like me over? Is it one of those games where the gameplay and the experience eventually make you forget about the graphics?

I'm 22, by the way, in case that matters at all. 😂

I'd love to hear your honest opinions, especially from people who weren't initially interested in the game but ended up loving it.

Hey all, looking for some new games to add to the shelf.

My current favorites on Deck are:

- art of rally

- over the hill

- slow roads

- Easy Delivery Co

- ETS2

- SUPERHOT original and MCD

- Sky CoTL

- NFS Rivals

- Tomodachi Life (through emulators)

and a few others.

I want something fun, that won't be too short, but also won't destroy my bank account. Something with a good learning curve. I've tried Hollow Knight and while I find it fun, it's quite difficult. If it's not obvious, I love car games but also like adventure/exploration games and also games with good gun mechanics but there's not too many of those.

Any recommendations? I've been looking at Sideways and will probably get it but I'm waiting for winter sales.

Bonus points if they can be played with other people, because even though my friends are bums there is a chance for a multiplayer session.

Thanks in advance!

I absolutely loved the first game. I found Alan Wake 2 really boring. I like the lore of the universe so that's good. But I tire of RPGs, skills trees, crafting, all that stuff.

I like Uncharted, Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon, Last of Us, GTA. I'm bored by Witcher, Kingdom Come, Elden Ring.

Will I like Resonant?

So recently while looking into the Xbox store, I saw that for whatever reason, battlefield 6 game of thrones year edition is 30 bucks for me. Now I wanted to play this game when it came out but didn’t know if it would be any good so I waited for a bit and it seems to have mixed reviews from the campaign and multiplayer. It looks good, but idk what’s y’all’s thoughts?

i'm considering buying kingdom come deliverance 2 since i enjoy open world rpgs with exploration, character progression, and choices that actually matter. i prefer games where the world feels natural and you can discover things on your own instead of following a map full of icons.

my biggest concern is how difficult the combat is and how long it takes to get comfortable with the mechanics. i'm fine with a learning curve, but i don't want the game to feel frustrating for the first several hours. for those who've played it, is it worth buying if i care more about exploration and progression than challenging combat?

Without spoilers, are these games worth the play? I have both in my wishlist with absolutely no idea how good they are and just know that they have detective elements or somthing? Is it at least a good game to play in spooky season? Solid narrative? I have just finished playing Outlast lmao. I’m really curious about Alan Wake.

Hey kinda new here, pleasure to meet yall! So I just finished the big boss saga, and I’m wondering if I should play MGS 2, and I know I should play MSG 1 first but I don’t really like the feel of the tank controls and the overhaul vibe, a good friend of mine that is also into metal gear suggested to me I could skip it to the second entry, so here are my most important questions:

Is it worth it?

How long does it take to beat if you go to grab all the items and collectables?

Playing Non lethaly is as rewarding as the big boss saga?

Thank you for your time and patience

Would love some recommendations some sightly lesser known story focused games; no Red Dead 2, TloU Disco Elysium, MGS etc. Examples of what I'm talking about: Riven, Ghost Trick, 1000xResist, Night in the Woods, Pentiment, The House in Fata Morgana. Preferably ones where the gameplay complements rather than detracts from the game (no Planescape Torment).

Also would love to hear about some games that are not necessarily story first but where the story, gameplay and atmosphere culminate in an elevated experience i.e. Rain World, Exo One, Team Ico games.

I have a PC, PS4 and Switch 2. Thanks!

When you buy on instant gaming you have to pay VAT in some european countries. But what if I select another country to avoid VAT. Is there any real risk with it?(I live in Poland in case its important). I want to buy a code for steam.

I just dont want to spent a lot of money on the game just to have it deleted and/or lose money.

I came across a disc of Deer Drive in a local shop and I waxed nostalgic for arcade hunting games. Are there any good ones on PC? I liked to play them in arcades as a kid and would like to relive my youth, albeit with a mouse and keyboard.

I’m fine with dated jank as long as it’s fun.

Apologies for any typos, my eyes are dilating and I’m waiting.

Worth it ? I saw Many people critized remastered one and worshipped the og..There are a lot complain the remastered crush many times do this is resolve ? Sorry for bad grammar.I always want to play this game but money is the problem... well...any suggestions ? Or should i saved up to buy the og one and waiting for winter ?

I've been looking for a chill game to just kick back and play when I'm bored. Something with farming, building, decorating, or just slowly building up my own little place. I don't want anything too complicated or a game that makes me constantly think about min-maxing stuff. I just wanna vibe, make some progress, and enjoy the game at my own pace lol.

I'm mainly looking for something in 2.5D or 3D, so preferably not a 2D pixel-art game.

Dinkum caught my eye recently, and it looks pretty fun, but I'm wondering if it's actually the best choice or if there are other games that do this kind of thing even better.

I'm open to pretty much any suggestions. Just looking for something cozy and relaxing that I can put a ton of hours into without getting bored too quickly.

What games would you guys recommend?

im going to get a new pc after 6 years and ill finally able to play things at more than low graphics settings

im thinking about ffvii rebirth or dead space remake but im open to try any other games really

(i have played alan wake 2, red dead 2, the witcher 3, cyberpunk)

(i have a nice monitor, dont worry about that)

Looking for an FPS game like CoD or Battlefield, or even like WarDogs. Looking to just casually play and enjoy and nothing to try hard like Warzone. Never really played any CoD or Battlefield games or anything similar. So if there is any game you Rican recommend please do so, whether it be free or paid. Thank you!!

i feel really bored to play any games and i play marvel rivals and hogwarts legacy and unranked fortnite can anyone give some free game recommendations that are fun and dont want me to quit in 10-20 minutes marvel rivals is good but after losing multilpe rounds in a row i dont got motivation i alr played apex valorant their fine ig but not something id grind

Hi, I’m looking for a new game for my sister, but she’s quite particular and has very specific tastes. Her top favorites are The Last of Us Part II and True Detective; she loves dark atmospheres and grounded, realistic female protagonists. That’s why I thought this might be a good choice to show her. On the other hand, I’m not sure if the supernatural elements might be a bit too "fantastical" for her. Also, half the game is played as Alan—I’m not sure she’d be too keen on that, unless she gets really hooked on the story. Oh, and there’s also the fact that she hasn’t played the first game.

I'm looking for a chill, grindy Steam game that doesn't require too much thinking or planning. I just want something I can play at my own pace, get immersed in, enjoy the experience, and relax without having to constantly think about what I'm doing.

I'm pretty open to any genre, so feel free to recommend anything that comes to mind! This could also be a chance for you guys to share your personal favorite games. I'd love to hear your recommendations!

I have two weeks of vacation coming up, and I want to pick one game to fully immerse myself in during that time. And I have both Disco Elysium - The Final Cut and expedition 33, what should i play, I don't usually play games with turn based combat or text heavy but I want to play one of them in this vacation

I dont have a dedicated HOTAS setup, (although I do have an old one with around 12 buttons total), I am extremely autistic and like planes, I like plane games with realistic physics but easy controls and I dont want to spend 10 hours learning the controls. I also dont want the game to be toxic like war thunder and be stressing out over a long grind & in game money management

Looking for a new RPG to play after finishing The Blood of Dawnwalker, a game I absolutely adored. I want something that’s character-focused and has a “fun enough” battle system (not amazing but good, something that’ll keep me engaged enough to see the story through). I played through Vampyr and both Surge games a few years ago, and I see both of these games are from the same dev teams that worked on them AND they’re on sale on PSN at the moment.

I only want to spend time on one of them for now, which one has a more “fun” playthrough?

EDIT: Bought Banishers, thanks everyone!

Hi, is this game finally fixed or is it still a junky mess? I bought the game like 1 year or so ago and I was really disappointed by the bugs, performance and enemy AI behavior and spawns that I have put the game down after like 4 hours. Is this game finally in good shape? And please, I don't want to read opinions by people with pink glasses who can't have an unbiased critical look at the game. I can see the flaws of the games I even love the most and I still can see and understand why some people don't like the game.

I really want to buy the lego batman trilogy, marvel super heroes and lord of the rings that are all dirt cheape on steam. I have an intel uhd 620, i5 8250u and 16gb ram and I also have an xbox 360 which all of those games are on. All I want to know is whether it is worth getting them on my specs or will it be better on the xbox 360.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not familiar with Bond's story, but I'd like to try it, but I don't know if it's worth the price. With the regional price and discount, I'm looking at $25. Many people praise this game, but many also hate it. I'd like to ask Reddit if it's worth trying. Some people also say it's poorly optimized, but I have a mid-range PC, so I think it'll handle it.

So, ik its on sale but 17 usd is a good amount in our country and im still a student. I saved up 10 dollars to get a game and came across cyberpunk which is on sale and costs about 9 dollars for base edition and ive read loads of good reviews about it.

Is the base game enough without buying dlc(im broke)? Or should i go with some other game?
