So I am a huge Alien fan (Aliens is my favorite) and I’ve wanted to nab Aliens: Fireteam Elite for a while, and since it’s on sale I figured might as well. Unfortunately none of my friends want to join me so I’ll have to play solo.
I want to ask, how is the game played solo? Does it feel like a campaign or is it purely random levels?

(I was thinking of asking in the Fireteam Elite subreddit but I figured they’d be a bit biased)

So playing Demo of the Mound got me back into my interest in Lovecraft so I checked out The Sinking City 2 demo and really liked that too. But theres also Hellraiser Revival which I had an eye on because I literally read the book like 3 times… I can‘t decide, everyone loves the hellraiser game but when I see it i‘m not completely thrilled? Like i‘ll probably enjoy it, especially considering that Clive Barker himself (the author of the book) worked on the game too. Yeah. What do I do? Also my friends wont play the Mound btw. I remember being realy dissapointed when the demo for the mound ended bc I wanted to continue. Oh probably important to mention: I never finished The Sinking City 1.

Perhaps If I buy one of them in some months i‘ll buy another, for example if i get sinking city 2 or the mound now perhaps i will buy hellraiser in a couple months or so. For now I only want to get one, considering GTA 6 is releasing soon and I dont want to spoon feed me multiple games

For those who don’t know, emergent gameplay is when the rules of the game interact with unexpected ways, and the player has to use them to solve problems. It doesn’t just mean choosing a playstyle. this video explains it better than I likely can. I find that a lot of the same games come up so I felt it was worth asking since this kind of thing is addictive to me.

XVI was my first-ever Final Fantasy and I absolutely loved the story, the graphics and the combat. It’s what got me into the series. I haven’t played Remake, Rebirth or the original VII, so I’d be going in completely fresh. I’d be playing on PC, and I’m after a big story-driven game with great visuals to sink my time into. Would I enjoy them in the same way? Is it worth buying both, and should I go in blind? Thanks!

Hi, what are hidden gems/underrated/overlooked games that you would suggest to other people to check out? Games that are not known much and often overlooked in flood of all AAA 80$ games which are often just mediocre.

Mine are:

• Aliens: Dark Descent - awesome Aliens game which plays really comfortably on console

• Wasteland 3 - much simpler and older Baldur's Gate 3 in post apocalyptic world

• Pacific Drive - first person scavenging rogue lite with CAR

• Darkest Dungeon - simple dungeon crawler

• Snow Runner + Expeditions: A mudrunner game - imagine Death Stranding but with cars

• Remnant 2 - 3rd person shooter souls like

• Deep Rock Galactic - first person shooter with missions and beards, beer, rock and stone!

• W40k Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin - RTS from W40k universe, I am surprised how well it plays on console!

• Darkwood - I have never imagined that 2d pixel art would scare me this much in this survival horror game lol

• Unravel and Unravel 2 - when you want chill platformer for yourself or to play with your kid

Okay, lately on Instagram I've been seeing a lot of games that seem to be AI-powered, like "the zombie apocalypse has started and you have to control the army to stop it" or "there's a containment breach and you have to control the creature." I also saw something that looked like an animation, I guess, made in Unreal Engine, of Halo ships fighting, or videos where they put Halo and Covenant troops together and just watch them fight. I know there are niche games for this kind of thing, but I'm thinking maybe something like Epic Battle Simulator, but better?xd. Sorry for the English and the bad explanation.

Looking for a game to play over the Halloween season. Interested in both and there vibes.

Which should I get? I know that they are different, one being a 2D Survival Horror game and the other being a Detective/Puzzle Game.

I’m a big fan of both resident evil and silent hill so silver pines seems like it would be a good choice but Blake manor is a genre I don’t play a lot of so might be good to mix it up.

I’m just off the back of finishing Castlevania Belmonts Curse so slightly worried I will get burned out of two metroidvanias back to back but it seems silver pines is very much a light touch in this regard.

Thanks

Ive been looking for a fantasy game to play and since ive seen enshrouded floating around as a suggestion I thought id check it out. From what ive seen looking around it seems to be crafting heavy game which im not really fond of. If it is crafting focused id hope if anyone can recommend actual fantasy adventure games. Its seems to be frustrating to look for one outside of the obvious titles

Hey everyone. I’m looking for a game like Prototype. It’s a game from my childhood, and back then, I loved roaming around the city destroying everything in sight. It made you feel like an actual living god. I know the usual recommendation is inFAMOUS, which I’ve already bought, and Control Resonant looks somewhat similar as well. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks, everyone!

What are the top tier narrative driven games released

THIS YEAR ?

I have CO : Expedition 33 / A Plaque Tale : Requiem / Cyberpunk 2077 expectations and not just straight “Revenge story” or “Gotta kill the bad guy” the type that’ll leave a mark and make me stare at my screen after credits roll, in tears 🥲

( also no boring gameplay )

P.s I’ve already played RE9 and Resonance A Plaque Tale Legacy. And I’ve no interest in Onimusha yet so cross these off the list.

Hey, I'm looking for a cosy colony sim to get into. Something where you build up a little settlement, manage resources, and watch your colony grow over time.

I'd prefer something more chill and relaxing rather than super stressful or punishing, but I'm open to suggestions.

Usually, most colony sims are pretty hardcore. I've tried Dwarf Fortress and RimWorld, but they both have a big learning curve. Manor Lords is probably the chillest one I've played so far.

I have officially entered my 3 moth cycle of grinding a game, taking a break and playing relaxig games, and looking for a new game to play, except I don't have any ideas.

Im looking for something a little shorter since im coming off the back of 100hrs of AC Odyssey.

I've played a lot of games, including:

Elden Ring
All Dark Souls
Sekiro
Red Dead 2
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Ac Odyssey
Hogwars Legacy
Gow Ragnarok
Gow 2018
Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor
Ghost of Tsushima
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Detroit Become Human
Spider-Man Remastered
Spider-Man 2
Lies of Pi
Witcher 3
Cyperbunk 2077
Black Myth Wukong
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Expedition 33

Thanks!
Here's my Steam account for even more info:

I am thinking about returning to FGC and taking it alot more seriously. FYI I have casual experience on T3/5/7 and SF3/4. If I could choose one to get comp into what would you recommend?

I would say that I kinda have a nostalgia for tekken in general and always preferred it over SF but with what I have heard about T8, I am not so sure. I enjoyed T7 even though T8 is widely different with the new systems everyone seems to hate.

I have mains in both games (Lee/Drag in Tekken and Ryu/Ken in SF) and equally excited to play both.

What's the current state like competitively and has a more fun long term gameplay loop? I am based down under in Australia so how's the connectivity and queue times from here?

DSR is 5 dollars. On epic. I am on turkey thats why its that cheap. Due to regional. I heard alien isolation iso toolong and repetitive at some point. I do not fcarriying about 2 bucks but i don't want to waste for no reason. Is dead space remake a good game I never played the original one. Is it repetitive or too long like alien. Thanks!

This is a post I made a good while back especially on a Yotei subreddit and I'm still debating, but I can get Tsushima trough the montly subscription, but I also plan to get physical copies of both as some point! Basically they told me I can't go wrong with neither at that price but that Tsushima was, at the moment, probably worth more, and maybe still is at a lower price...

I never played Tsushima cuz of it's insane price even as a PS5 Remaster (Director's Cut) since it's around 74€ (now it's like half the price, under 37€) where I live while Yotei is around 78€ (those are the prices calulated in our money) and honestly, while hearing how amazing and how much better Tsushima is, it just doesn't look as interesting as Yotei does for some reason... Now I am also curios since I Heard that Yotei is even less helpful in the open-world aspect than Tsushima is... I know that Jin is mostly just a legend in Yotei and that they are as connected as AC games, in no way a case of TLOU2 or GowRagnarok... Problem is I rarely get expensive games and I won't get the other in a good 3 months after one purchase (first purchase I plan around December)... Any advice?

I know that people will try to persuade me "how you don't want to buy a game that's considered a masterpiece at a cheaper price, especially since it's guaranteed to run better (Resolution mode for Tsushima also supports 60fps) but idk, I feel like I'm mostly drawn in life to the weirder things, not the masterpieces and since I made the last post over 6 months ago (maybe more but I won't really try to count everything, I guess a bit after Yotei's launch) and Yotei should (did it) recieve more content, the argument "Tsushima has better story and content, Yotei barely has anything left besides the main story" still holds or they added more stuff to valide Yotei's still full-price a bit more? (Cuz it still sells where I'm from around full-price)

I can't make a decision between these two even tho they are completely different games I feel like one is definitely going to be better in the eyes of the majority don't starve is a lot cheaper but I'm mainly worried if my PC can run slime rancher 2 while it does run the original pretty comfortably my specs are terrible for basically any modern game I have i7-8700 CPU 8gb of RAM and my GPU is Radeon RX 560 I'm not interested in a game that ends up running like a slideshow even if it is better then the alternative you can also recommend a good game that would run well if you don't like both of these options

You can only choose one.

Both are games where you have to complete your objectives while surrounded by lots of enemies, right? They both have similar appealing features, but which one should I buy? I’d like to hear opinions from people who’ve actually played them, and I’d also like to know how many players there are. I want to avoid buying one only to find out there’s no one playing it.

Also, I'd like to know if in-app purchases (additional weapons, armor, and skins) are absolutely necessary after purchase.

So I have been trying to find games on sale or bundles so I can get them and play them long term on my Xbox and 100 percent them
So while I was looking I found tomb raider ( survivor triology ) for in my currency equal to 5 dollars which is pretty good
And I have more 5 to spend and I found middle earth bundle
It contains :
1- middle earth : shadow of Mordor ( GOTY) edition
2- middle earth : shadow of war ( definitive edition )

Basically the whole thing
But I am actually curios should I try it or not
I have absolutely no idea about the game , what is the story , but from minimal search or I just wrote its name on YouTube and I found the ratings videos and it says that the game is a masterpiece or a great game atleast
But I don’t know
I played rdr2 ,a plague tale sequel , re series , ( basically I love and play story games )
But I am just conflicted about the game play / graphics
Do you recommend it ?
Thanks for reading

ive only played middle earth whichi freaking loved idk anything about LoTr besides amazon tv show and i loved it tbh (ik chill)

thoughts on the game, what type is it? i like rpgs like dark souls dragons dogma baldurs gate, not sure what kinda game this is but i like loot, level up screens and tons of enemy variety to fight iwth cool equipment or weapons.

I bought cyberpunk back when it came out, and haven't played much since. I know the game has been massively improved and only heard good things about the DLC. I'm willing to give it another shot. Borderlands 4 I've also heard its gotten better over time and its on sale for just about the same price.

Cyberpunk seems like a fun open world game where I can lose myself in the story but Borderlands seems like silly fun to where I can watch a show or movie while playing with friends or solo.

Hey everyone,

All of the amnesia games are on sale this month and i'm thinking about picking them up. I could get all of them for a little over $20 USD. I've been on a horror kick lately and i remember when the first one came out but never played any of them. I love scary and tense games like Outlast or ones that have deep space horror kind of like Dead Space and Alien Isolation. Are these up my alley?

I want a game that is immersive and cosy like KCD2, Alan wake 2, RDR2 and Witcher 3 etc where I can roam around in a rainy day and go inside a cosy cabin while I hear the wind blowing outside. Something super atmospheric. Ideally something that has combat / stakes and is a good single player experience. I’ve got ps5 pro and switch 2.

Appreciate Alan wake 2 isn’t considered cosy but I find the environments so cosy especially bright falls at night when it’s spitting with rain

It’s £11.99 on Xbox rn. Lots of people say that dying light 1 is better but I’m looking for good gameplay and not too scary. For some reason dying light 1’s setting petrifies me. Dying light 2’s parkour and combat seems to be generally liked by most people.

Does the gameplay loop get boring?
Is the story so bad that it ruins the game?

My other option is cyberpunk 2077 which is 14.99 on Xbox rn. Is the story and gameplay engaging?

Hi all!

I’m looking for some good (non-spoiler) feedback on what Final Fantasy game would be good for me, as I am endlessly indecisive.

I’ve played and loved FFXIV, which pretty much my only experience with the series. I also played 7 Remake, liked it, but bounced off Rebirth pretty hard (so many systems and tutorials and Chadley yapping).

I like pretty much all types of combat, so that is not a deal breaker for me. What I’m really looking for is a great story - ideally with some mysterious aspects (think Mass Effect 1 with the reapers or Horizon Zero Dawn with the Faro plague). I’d like for the main cast to be not too childish and caricature-ish, as sometimes tends to happen in JRPG’s. Also ideally the setting would be intriguing and enjoyable to explore and discover. I’m also not a stickler about graphics.

Hope that helps narrow it down a bit. Looking forward to reading your responses :)
