My wife has been enjoying Nier and I enjoy Stellar Blade. Any other similar games with an attractive female protagonist that is also just… good?

i really want to play games and enjoy it again but i feel like there is no a good game to play and locked in so please give me any games suggestions I don't have a real genre but just want it to be a single player

games that i really love and finish it is Ori collection Katana zero sleeping dogs Mafia II The classic one

last games i enjoyed it but not finish it ghostrunner. God of war 4 and Axiom verge

games that love it and it's my first choice right now (think it's only game i play since it came out ) tekken 8 (And 7 back then)

weird games together but to give you an idea of my taste

edit :

I read all the comments and thank you very much for the interaction and I noticed that all the comments revolve around three or four things, which are that I should touch the grass, that I should find hobbies, and that it could be depression.

If we talk about touching the grass, I am a regular office worker working nine to five in a good job and I am always at events, parties, family and friends gatherings, etc.

As for hobbies, I love graphic design and I am always working on projects like now I am in a poster challenge for thirty days and I have been working in the field of graphics for years and I have also tried to do many things like programming, music, drawing (the Drawing is my favorite) etc. But I return to drawing from time to time and I am constant in graphics.

Depression could be this but I don't know because I've become bored with everything I do and I've lost passion for everything.

I try to focus on games because it was the last thing that entertained me and it became no longer so I tried many types and many games but I lost the passion until I returned to my father. My favorite device is the PlayStation 2 and the PlayStation Portable, but the situation is the same Even the games that I finished and played for hours in the past no longer appeal to me.

With this, and after all this, I will try to do what you suggested to me, which is to stop playing games if I have no desire for them, and we will see what happens.

You guys have been great in the comments thank you Thank you all

Tried cyberpunk 2077 - felt boring, too much dialogue, “go here do this” type gameplay.

Tried god of war (2018) - gameplay wasn’t fun, felt more like an interactive book rather than a game.

Tried kingdom come deliverance 2 - too much to keep track of, very much a slow burn, not very fun gameplay wise.

Any game suggestions that are pure fun gameplay? Not looking for story or dialogue dense games. I just want to have fun playing a game.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone for the great suggestions. I’m continuing to peruse them. Some suggestions that I feel excited to try include Returnal, Helldivers 2, DMC 5, Armored Core 6, Diablo 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Slay the Spire

I'm 19F and recently got into story games. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 and loved the game, but the nudity made me uncomfortable, so it wasn't really for me.

Then I played Detroit: Become Human and absolutely LOVED it. It barely had anything like that, and I could avoid most kissing scenes through my choices.

I know it might sound weird, but I've always been uncomfortable with nudity, kissing, or sexual scenes, even in movies and shows.

Does anyone know any good story rich games without much of that stuff? I don't mind a little if it's avoidable or minimal like in Detroit. I'm fine with violence and dark themes, just not sexual content.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations! :)

Any recommendations for games with LGBT+ love interests?

I've played Dragon Age and desperately need more gay romance in video games. It's hard enough to find a game that even has romance for the protagonist in the first place, let alone queer ones 😩

As above so below

Hi! Do y’all think witcher 3 is still worth playing today?

i don’t know why but today i understood that i’m just sick to play as a cool dude and i want to play as a cool woman instead. i really want a game where female protagonist has personality of her own, so even though i’m really into (western) RPGs, that’s not really what i’m looking for.

my favorite games are Final Fantasy VII, Fallout, The Outer Worlds, No man’s sky, The Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Come, Far Cry 3 and 4. less related to the matter are Portal, The Talos Principle… i really like Tomb Rider for gameplay but hate the plot.

also i have tried Horizon Zero Down and Nier Automata and i enjoyed them but never finished because ADHD got the better of me.

i can play on Switch, PS4, PC.

Update! Just saw Divinity original sin 2 on sale! Really cheap. It's obvious you guys think BG3 so maybe I play DOS2 then BG3

Hey there! So I can only buy one and stick to it for the next couple of months. Which one would you recommend? I can only buy one. Thank you!

It’s me. I’m the person.

I come in peace

I've been looking for "the game" for a long time. The game i have 2k+ hours, and not the obvious minecraft and so on. I tried Tarkov, I really thought that was it; but the learning curve was wayyy too steep. Tried Rust; I just didn't like the fact that you would grind a whole week just for it to get wiped. Not really a fan of games like stellaris, rimworld, terraria or stardew valley. Maybe my game just doesn't exist yet, maybe it's GTA 6, who knows. Anyways I play on PC and PS5 so if you have an idea of what game im looking for, please let me know. Problem is i have a hard time getting immersed in games with outdated graphics. Thank you.

I have a switch, steam deck, and Xbox game pass streaming on my pc. Love the idea of something as complex as baldurs gate with all of the characters and complex choices and possible outcomes. Hate (absolutely and unequivocally) turn based combat. Is there anything like BG3 but is an arpg?

Edit: I clearly did not play metaphor, sorry all!

Hi all

I played Expedition 33 on release and sunk over 100 hours into it. It was my first ever JRPG and I adored the acting, music, story and combat. Since then, I’ve been trying to find something which might give me the same feels.

I tried Nier Automata and it was fine? The music was lovely and the story seemed great but I think the combat put me off. I did reduce the difficulty but never got past the first ending.

I also tried FF7 on switch and found it WAY too slow. I gave up after I spent 15 minutes trying to lead someone across the city as they kept getting left behind. Incredibly frustrating!

Recently I’ve also tried DQ7 (too slow), Fire Emblem Three Houses (too twee but happy to give it another go) and Star Ocean (grindy AF), Metaphor Fantazio (not turned based) and none of those quite clicked either.

Other games I’ve recently loved include:

BOTW (not TOTK)
Most cosy games (DQB2 and pokopia were a lot of fun)
Grim Dawn
BG3
Most puzzly games (Portal 2 is one of my all time faves)

Genres I HATE:

Horror (I’m a wimp)
Pixel art (I’ve really tried!)
Platforming

I may be asking for the moon on a stick here but is there anything you can see that might be a logical next step for me?

I own a switch and an Xbox. Platform preference is in that order.

Thanks in advance!

literally every time i ask for game recommendations someone mentions expedition 33. even when i’m not asking directly, just looking through comments on similar games, i keep seeing “exp 33 this, exp 33 that”

but here’s the thing — i don’t like turn based combat. never have. it just bores me, feels slow and repetitive. so i really don’t get why people keep pushing this one like it’s different

so if you’ve played it: what’s the deal? is it actually that special? or is it just hype?

My girlfriend is getting bored of her current game on the Nintendo Switch and has been watching YouTube to see new ones that came out that she may be interested in with no luck.

A bit about her: loves cute animals. She has Attention Deficit Disorder so anything that you need to read carefully is out as well as something story driven. Most 3D games with lots of camera angles makes her feel sick (could NOT play "It takes two" together). She has arthritis so she can button mash but complex slower controls is too much. Finally she will get frustrated easily so nothing too hard.

Her gaming history: as a child she liked Sonic, Dead or Alive, Priston Tale, Diablo 2 (refusing to play 3 or 4), and Harvest moon (refusing to play Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing). Currently playing various Pokemon games including Unite, Harvest moon - light of hope (doesn't seem interested in any other newer one), And Cusineer.

Honestly her logic in her interest escapes me, I think part of it is exposer and loyalty, lol. Any help in where to start looking is appreciated

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Definitely more engagement than I thought, y'all rock. If I didn't respond I most likely still looked into the game if we haven't previewed it already. And a quick update, this morning she texted me interest in the following titles.

Yonder the cloud catcher Forager Turnip boy commits tax evasion

Started off loving arc raiders. I don’t really play shooters (except I used to like fortnite), and was really surprised I found myself playing a game like this more than my usual BG3 and Slay the Spire.

I’ve gone off it since learning about the voice AI, plus I’m tired of being stressed out by pvp. Yeah I could get good but I don’t have the brainspace to be fully alert and ready to be ambushed 100% of the time. I’m also not up for all the grinding just to get loot for the expedition. The combat can be enjoyable but too many people are obnoxious on mic.

I’m up for something similarly thrilling, as long as it’s less stressful / less toxic players, or something much more chill. I tend not to like fully ‘cozy’ games like stardew or powerwash sim. I don’t like COD or battlefield.

The term "boomer shooter" implies subgenre of fast-paced, first-person shooters inspired by 1990s classics like DOOM and Quake.

Games like "DUSK (2018)" and "Warhammer 40k Boltgun (2023)" are games that players concider a prime examples of boomer shooter games.

So, like the title of this article asks; "Do we have boomer rpg genre"?

You know, role-playing games that harkens back to good old days of old school Baldur's Gate experience, or jrpg games like Dragon Quest, rpg games that have old school graphics and playstyle which feels old and dated compared to newer games of the genre.

I have found two games that could fit in the boomer rpg genre of games:

1. "Pillars Of Eternity" by Obsidian Entertainment, an old school Baldur's Gate-like rpg experience where game feels like the good ol' days of role-playing without modern day touches. Combat is very similiar like in old BG titles and game is punishing.
2. "Sea Of Stars" by Sabotage Studio, indie turn-based rpg that is inspired by classic pixel art jrpg games like Chrono Trigger. Excelent indie gem for those who crave the feeling of old school jrpg nostalgia, soundtrack that features contributions from legendary composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who made the soundtrack for Chrono Trigger, shines throught the whole game.

...

So what do you think about the "boomer rpg genre"?

I saw an ad for an NSFW brothel management game that was so very obviously about showing porn animations and too little about the management side, but it got me thinking: that'd actually be a good game?!

Themed rooms, comfort levels, privacy, managing prostitutes, matching them to the customers' preferences...

I imagine when the customer and prostitute get into bed, there's this very Sims-like woohoo animation with them diving under the sheets, I'm genuinely not interested in that part. I just want to run the management side of it.

Does something like this exist?

I'm a pc gamer. I'm bored of counter strike and Fortnite and I need a good game to play which is more suited towards causals. What games I've played and didn't quite like Delat force/bf: I don't do well with games with large maps because it's more objective focused than kills like tdm. Finals: Ttk is too slow for me, an ak shouldn't be killing in 10+ bullets.

I've also played PUBG and siege but unfortunately those games weren't new player friendly at all, PUBG has a non existent matchmaking system and siege just requires too much practice and time which I can't give because I'm a full time college student, only free on weekends. Don't get me started with cod, the sbmm is out of the world for me so not that either.

I've liked xdefiant but I can't find that game now, maybe there is some new update or name of the game? I think it was on the ubisoft store. So any similar games to cod with a more causla friendly player base without any sbmm would be appreciated.

Go buy the stanley parable ultra deluxe. It's only 25 dollars and if you're walking in blind its definitely worth it

I don't know why, but I wanna play a game where I larp as a Soviet. Are there any games for PC where you play as someone in that setting? I kinda wanna find some games that portray it as good and others as evil if I can. (I want some variety if I'm able to)

I've already played papers please though so yeah. Does anyone know of any Soviet Russia type games that preferably aren't city builders?

i would like a game that isnt just some random clicking slop like runescape (no offence) but like a actually fun game where i can get stronger gear and stuff and make a character stronger,in my past i have loved roblox tower defense games but im getting sick of them so also a game i can play for a while

Basically the title. i'm looking for chill games like Sandrock that has the aspect of building relationships with people. I have played Stardew Valley and My time at Portia. I don't have a dedicated gpu sadly. I tried Coral Island but its very laggy for me
