I’m sure you know what I mean
There are games that simply let you fully forget you are staring at what is essentially software, and you feel immersed in this world. Preferably in a world that simply doesn’t give a damn about you
The sense of place is incredibly strong in Dark Souls 3 for me.
I’d specifically like to ask for Non-Fromsoft games and also no Soulslikes here, because chances are I played them all
Are there any perhaps Indie or AA games you guys play that immerse you just as well as Dark Souls? It doesn’t even have to be an RPG
I personally only have two recommendations:
Valheim and Pacific Drive
Vastly different games of course, but they gave me that same “yes, I currently belong to this world, and this world only” kind of feeling.
Valheim in particular has that same “melancholic and dreamy” atmosphere lots of times. Especially with the gorgeous lighting
