Any space games like the movie Passengers (2016)

Ok, weird question but I enjoyed the atmosphere of the movie Passengers and I was wondering if any game had such a vibe. Something about space exploration/colonization. I really enjoyed the Alien Isolation video game despite not being too into horror, but I just loved the retrofuturism and the detail of the ship itself. Are there any games that fit these descriptions that might be more RPG-ish? Thanks.

Game like V Rising but geared more towards the Thrall Mission side of things.

For context, in V Rising you can thrall people to be your minions and as a result gear them up and send them out on missions to gather materials for you. I'm wanting a game based more around missions like that, but that still has something to do besides so it doesn't become Waiting Simulator.

Stuck in a Gaming Rut-Hit Me with Your Best Recommendations

I'm going through a little gaming dry spell at the moment. Before, I used to only play competitive first-person shooters, which was awful. I experimented with some genres that were foreign to me and found them to be really enjoyable. These days, I really enjoy BG3 and DOS2. I have also played almost every AAA/Indie game that is mainstream.

I'm open to new genres, unconventional gameplay, and I don't really mind the graphics or how old the game is. Extra points if there's a lot of room for modding(hate Skyrim, leave it out). Please DO NOT recommend any souls-like.

a few of my favorite:

Cyberpunk 2077

BG3

DOS2

Witcher 3

RDR2

Titanfall 2

Hades 1, 2

Stardew Valley

Torchlight 2

Diablo 2: Resurrected

Grim Dawn

Games for building collections

Looking for a free game, something available on a website or from the Google Play store.

Some games I've enjoyed before:

Wallabee: was GPS based, but you could collect from a fairly long range away without having to be at the specific place the collectibles are.

Packrat: card collecting which included crafting

Kitten Cards: another card collecting game

The Everything Game: sort of card collecting

Animal Crossing: trying to collect the different furniture and clothing items available

MineThings: search for items, craft and collect

Pve coop with medic/healers

Hello! Looking for pve games where I can play a medic or a healer class. I’ve done a lot of pvp like overwatch, battlefield, LoL, etc and would be looking for some coop pve games to mellow out a bit.

My favorite game of all time is killing floor 2 but there’s only so much you can play of it.

I would like to stay away from mmo as I tend to lose interest pretty fast.

I’m aware there will not be many options but that’s why I am reaching out to others, as even numerous searches online have not presented much.

I want to find a city or house builder with some excitement and lots of decorations.

I liked Rimworld but I wish it had more decorations. I even looted vases to use 😂

Timberborn was fun but the only things that ever happened are droughts and redtides and those got old. I wish there were earthquakes or plagues or bandits.

Fallout 4 was fun to explore then build settlements.

Medieval Dynasty was fun for a bit.

Valheim was fun to explore and decorate.

Looking for a game from my past

Hey guys, new here I dunno if that's against the rules but I don't lose much just by trying. I remember on the 90s when my dad got his first PC, there was a game that came in a CD, I remember I enjoyed it a lot, I don't remember the name, but I remember that it was about piloting a tank or maybe artillery, not many units only one, you had to kill the enemy that was another tank or artillery machine, I believe that it was 3D since you needed to calculate the angle, distance and I think also the force of the shot, I could be wrong about the 3D though, I think it was turn based, but you could fire some types of shots including napalm and the island that you and your enemy was could be destroyed, what I remember very well is that there was a shot that when you fired it the game said "Apocalypse NOW!" I tried finding it by artillery game, tank game, 90s game, but I never found it, so I was wondering if any of you have ever played or know what I'm talking about... or maybe something similar.

If I had to choose between Alien: Isolation, Outlast 2, and Resident Evil 7, which one should I play?

i’ve never really played any horror game, so idk what i like and don’t like. I have the opportunity to get one of these three games. i’m looking for which one of these games do the overall best at being scary, but also a good game. like for example one might be a little bit better game than the other, but if the worser one is much much scarier, then i’d prefer the latter.

so out of these three, which one should i get?

Oh my goodnes Danmaku Unlimited 3 (2017 Shmup) is wonderful!!!

Today was my first time playing the series and 3 floored me entirely. The game's Easy difficulty is a perfectly balanced challange, the bullet patterns are extremely fun to navigate and the Graze mechanic that charges your special meter is very satisfying to engage with; the OST is excellent and compliments the gameplay with its incredible intensity.

It's wild that the series started as a damn phone Shmup but became so popular the third entry received ports for other platforms years later including an arcade release.

Open world farming/gathering/hunting games? (PC)

What are some good examples of large scale open world games with good farming and gathering systems? I basically want the depth of something like Stardew or Atelier Series but in an open world setting that is a less structured. Not a MMORPG but co-op would be a nice bonus. The only thing I can think of that might be close to this is maybe Valheim or Enshrouded but they are pretty basic on the farming side of things. I just want to travel a vast world collecting things.

Games like Final fantasy Tactics Advance and A2

2 of my all time favorites, I'm looking for:

  • Clan/organization management from reputation to resources.
  • Mission based gameplay, although open world works too.
  • Preferably a good story (rpg).
  • Turn-based combat, although it could also be eh, live action?
  • Party based.
  • Character development and management, different classes, levels, all that jazz.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Looking for simple-but-addicting game on PS5 with some combination of RPG/crafting/survival/roguelite/metroidvania/management elements.

Similar to a lot of posts you see here, am pushing through some addiction/withdrawals and just looking for something to help me kill time.

The idea of starting a big complicated game (eg, Elden Ring) feels kind of daunting so looking for something with a more simple premise / gameplay loop to catch me and pull me in.

Stardew Valley feels like a perfect game if I hadn’t already played it. I really enjoyed Graveyard Keeper too, which felt like a clone. I’ve been eyeing Harvestella, but reviews seem not very good.

An easy answer here would be a solid roguelite I haven’t played yet. My faves are binding of Isaac, enter the gungeon, rogue legacy, dead cells, hades, Moonlighter, cult of the lamb.

Some other games I’ve loved (to give you a sense):

  • any old school final fantasy or RPG from the SNES or PS1 era
  • Zelda TotK
  • God of War series
  • Any metroidvania - Metroid Dread, Axiom Verge, Salt and Sanctuary, Chasm
  • Steamworld Dig

Relaxing games with an alive world?

I have just been a bit stressed out recently and want to try a relaxing game, by alive I mean where you don't feel like you are just alone in the game. Anything except Minecraft and Stardew Valley.

Extremely simple games for babies?

My youngest monkey is old enough to start wanting to join in with the video games, but he's not coordinated enough to actually play properly. I found my old emulator folder and he's been playing the first section of Ecco the Dolphin, which has taught him the basics of using the thumbstick to move a sprite, but it's not exactly exciting. He LOVES the character of Ecco but gets bored of the game itself quickly because there's nothing to do.

Anyone got any recs for baby games? Not really looking to spend more than 20 bucks. Criteria:

  • PC

  • no fail state

  • no death state

  • no time limits

  • controller compatible, or only uses the mouse without the keyboard (too many buttons on the keyboard)

  • preferably only 2 dimensions so he doesn't have to control a camera with the other thumbstick

  • would be nice if there was stuff like fruit to collect or something

Just something that he can walk around a little world at his own pace and figure out how the microsoft controller works before we move onto more complicated games with fail states like Mario and Sonic. It's OK if it's the first section of a bigger game if it still meets the above criteria.

Thanks guys

Looking for good games that should specifically be played on pc, example: Project Zomboid

I built a gaming rig 2 years ago but because of some mental health stuff I didn’t start using it until recently. I’m still getting the hang of things, but also need to find more games. So far I’ve just been playing Bethesda games, because you can’t get the dlc on console and because I know they have tons of mods that I’ve always wanted to try. I need a change of pace though, fallout and elder scrolls are great but I’m kind of burnt out on them. The problem is, most of the games I see are games I’ve already played on console. So I’m looking for games that can only be played on pc (or Xbox, I usually use ps5 so I miss out on Microsoft exclusives) or games that are just much better on pc / can be modded into a different experience. The only 2 games I have on my list right now are project zomboid and stardew valley.

What games would you recommend? I’m open to just about any genre and it doesn’t have to be new.
