I’m looking for some good indie games that I can run on my piece of junk laptop. Some games that I have tried are slay the spire, stardew valley, Brotato, BTD6, FTL and hades. While I liked all the games (except hades), my computer is barely able to handle Brotato or btd6.

It was a game I saw as a kid. Like many other games in the mid-2000s, it was like a point-and-click game where you had your person, and through making friends with other players or using real money, you could gain levels. The graphics were static as you just had your character and other stats. I remember there being either multiple versions of the same game but in different periods or those same periods, that (If I'm not mistaken) you can start and live on through. I remember there was a Stone Age and Greek/Roman. I remember it being a life simulator of sorts where you could buy things using the in-game money. I remember being limited in what I could do as a free member. I don't remember a whole lot because when I played the game, it was between 2009 and 2011 when I was still young. I'm not sure if this makes sense to anyone but if anyone needs any further explanations, just ask and I'll rack my brain and the internet trying to find more details

I'm thinking more like CS2 but faster and more interesting. (Don't say valorant it was a huge disappointment.)

4 players, something like minecraft but not blocky. We are thinking Subnautica 2 when it comes out, but we need something now. Base building, adventuring, persistent world, not an mmorpg style game.

Looking to build my Steam library from scratch, thanks to a brand new Steam Deck. I would love recommendations!

I currently own a Switch and an Xbox X. Been gaming for a few decades on different consoles and the occasional desktop. But this is my first real foray into PC gaming. I do love supporting indie developers/artists. Over the years I've done my best to do that, and I'm hoping Steam will open that world up to me even more on the gaming front.

Games I Love: I love a good puzzler, beautiful art, friendly vibes, adventures, but I still enjoy some bigger titles too. Here are some games I’ve really liked:

• Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi: Fallen Order, Portal 2, The Artful Escape, Qubo2, Mario Wonder, Mario Odyssey, Halo, Dead Cells, Rocket League, Gris, It Takes Two, Batman Arkham, Celeste, Cocoon, Lara Croft games, Minecraft Dungeons. Lots more, obviously, but this hopefully paints a picture.

Games I Don’t Like:

• Call of Duty and similar games—too violent and cheesy for my taste.
• Open-world games aren’t really my thing—I can appreciate games like Zelda and Starfield, but I prefer slightly more linear experiences. I almost liked Star Wars: Survivor, but didn't for all the reasons most people didn't (Big Star Wars fan). BUT, I didn't mind that style of open world (central story with some side quest options).

Based on all that, where should I start on Steam?! Thank you!

I usually play 4X, settlement, survival, turn based RPGs etc but I am wanting something mindless.

Best thing I can think of is like Drox Operative 2 where I can mindless run/fly around, where I don't have to plan out build, choices don't have big lasting consequences I have to decide on.

I don't want online/subscription games, I don't want run and gun shooters like Black Ops etc as I generally don't enjoy run and guns & my reflexes are a bit slow.

.

Diablo 3 was OK but I never got hooked

Diablo 4 I tried for the 2 free weekends and hated it

Grim Dawn is fun but again the builds & planning

Enshrouded I just can't be bothered with the resource collecting ie 100 stone & 100 wood to get to the next level to collect 50 stone, 100 wood & 00 copper, then 200 iron & 100 clay etc, usually I enjoy the progression/incremental but just not now.

.

I'd love some suggestions

I really enjoyed tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild, but of course these aren't on playstation. Aby help appreciated. Also free is better cause I like saving money.

Examples I can think of for what I want conceptually are Elite Dangerous or EVE Online, you are just a cog in the machine, mining or trading or what have you and slowly you work up from there. It's such a good vibe, but I am not the biggest fan of flying space ships so those games tend to not hold me for long.

Kinda what the title says. I really enjoy survival games, but base building is something that just never clicks for me. Especially when I'm dropping down individual walls, doors, windows, foundation needs to go here, etc.

So, a game with prefab buildings I can just plop down and throw resources at them to upgrade them with more pre-placed things, or with bases that are prebuilt that you throw resources at to unlock/upgrade things would be great. State of Decay, Fallout 4 with one of the settlement mods where the NPCs would work on building your settlement, something along those lines.

Bonus points if crafting in the game doesn't care if it's in storage or in your inventory, so long as you're in your base it'll pull from wherever to craft things.

Hi I'm a dad who has an 8 year old son and it's been awhile since I actually played any console games. I'm looking to buy a switch as a Christmas gift for my only son so he can also play with his school friends. Is there anything I should look out for aside from buying the console? Like memory card or controller. Sorry I'm (47 M) I have been so out of touch. Thanks in advance.

I've jailbroken my Nintendo Wii a while ago and I downloaded a PS1 and GameCube emulators. Can you guys suggest some good games for the Wii, PS1, and GameCube if you can. I've been struggling to find some good ones to buy.

Something to make everyone sort of unique/individual or rare. Like maybe you are part of a few people who have some magic thing, or have super speed, maybe you can summon the dead or turn into a dog, a way to make each player different

I just want a fast paced game with Titanfall movement. Preferably open world in a city, i mainly want the momentum though, thats what natters most, is being able to keep momentum while moving real quick

Some of my favorites throughout all genres not necessarily fitting the titles restrictions, so if any others fit my favorites feel free to add them as well.

Borderlands 3 Astroneer Generation Zero Grounded Subnautica Diablo 2 Sea of Thieves Terraria Far Cry 5 Dead Island 2

I'm looking for mostly co-op games, although some solo games are fine, I'm not a big solo gamer.

After seeing a video on V rising, games similar to that would also be welcome

I Also played Sonic Mania, OMORI and Super Smash Bros ultimate and enjoyed all of those games. so game's like those would also be good.

I wanna buy it since it’s on sale but older games don’t tend to do it for me, but that doesn’t mean I hate them (I liked RDR and the mass effect Trilogy)

We like playing games together but struggle to find good ones. We played It takes 2 and a way out and liked both of those! We also loved Pit People too just looking for more suggestions please :)

Looking for any games with the title, I’m leaning towards ac Valhalla but open to suggestions

I am looking for game with profession system like Black Desert online , or for example android game i played called 'Medieval Simulator' where you start as begger, do daily jobs, earn money, start trading, buy buildings to produce.

I mentioned Black Desert Online, there i enjoyed being able to do all of the professions, Investing in ship to go do better fishing, gathering your own materials for producing meals, hiring workers on your farm, but i would love to have that in single player game if possible? Only reason why i am searching for something that isn't BDO is that i want to feel rewarded after doing certain thing, Since i know that in any MMORPG professions are not primary. And even if i level all of the things up to maximum, i won't see any Reward like beating the game.

I'm looking for mostly detective games where there's someone behind the veil of mystery, that's making all the strange inconsistencies happen. Btw, I really enjoyed the golden idol games.

Looking for a game where the protagonist is in a scenario that he has to kill and it has an effect on him like James sunderland or Jason Brody if there are any games like that with a really good story and really nice gameplay please let me know

My favourite games are cyberpunk, Elden ring , Pokemon franchise , high on life , little nightmares , subnautica below zero and cuphead Thanks !

As a kid I read Enders Game repeatedly and absolutely loved the descriptions of his commanding the space fleet in real time and have always wanted to play a space RTS that would have a similar feel, but haven't kept up to date on PC gaming in a long time. I also really enjoy first person space pilot games, and 4x games with an economy, and planet surface exploration. Is there anything that successfully puts these together? Like, you're a capital ship commander, but you have to gather resources and establish outposts in order to fund and sustain your campaign. It feels like it'd be hard to successfully put it all together and keep each part well designed... like either the economic/large scale part is going to be underdeveloped and boring while the battles are the main draw, or the larger meta game would be interesting, but the RTS potion would be underdeveloped.

Ring any bells? I haven't played much PC/space gamed in a looong time, and I don't demand modern graphics, just a fun game.

Just got undisputed boxing on black friday any tips that i should know about the game. Would take any advice to help with game play such as mechanic and just overall playstyle.

Looking for a 3rd person shooter like Fortnite to play on the same screen with my little brother. Nothing too gory like Gears of War or RE5. Closest I can think of is Borderlands even though that's mostly a first person shooter. Any recommendations? Any platform is fine.

I've been looking for cosmetic collecting games with good character customization that primarily focus on gameplay and world exploration as a way to build up your customization inventory, like old AJ Classic games. I've heard Sky is similar but I've never played it.

Just got done playing KCD, absolutely loved it. Am in the mood for a medieval game with little or no fantasy (so nothing like Witcher).

Any suggestions?

Hi all. My son has played the living guff out of Zelda BOTW, TOTK and Skyrim. I want to show him a new RPG, but I don’t want him to encounter swearing, realistic violence or “adult” themes. Does such a game exist? Thank you in advance. Edit: FPS preferred

Hello all,

I'm looking for some games that support large squads of people. For some context, I play with a group that usually sits around 6-8 people and we struggle to find games that allow us all to play together on the same team. We have tried games like Destiny 2 pvp, Rainbow Six Siege and a few others but we cant seem to find anything that doesn't leave someone out due to squad size restrictions. Most game types are welcome, I just mention pvp games specifically because they are quick to pick up and put down, it helps with people constantly arriving and leaving

sorry for a text block, not my specialty

Winter vacation is coming soon and we finally got a bit of time to game with the kids. Do you have any recommendations for some games that are low stress/high fun?

We have gang beasts, Spelunky 2, towerfall ascension, ember souls, sackboy.

PS games are preferable, but we're open to games on PC!
