i have like 370 hours of factorio, and i've only really played it over the period of about. 4-5 months, though i've owned it for a year or two now.
Factorio is just one of those games. For anybody that likes open world sandbox games and technical stuff, you already own factorio, yell at me in the replies.
Me, spending hours on Age of Empires 2 and loving it
Or play factorio... Look at the time, ah it hasn't changed, then an hour later notices the date incremented. Oh
Or Civilization, where one more turn becomes five hours where you've barely moved.
Gods I was strong then.
Please recommend me your favourite story games. This is me and I'm in need of a good 'book.' :)
Edit: I'm going to tell you all to play Night in the Woods. Now, it is set in my home region and felt like a game made for me, but I think it has messages anyone could relate to.
The Blackwell series, West of Loathing, Talos Principle II, To The Moon series.
‘Outer wilds’ don’t look it up. The most fun is play ing it for the first time. It doesn’t hold your hand though.
I've read that comment a lot and it makes me feel like there's something big that I might spoil if I ever Google about it. But like I'm a couple dozen hours in at this point... After how many hours of playtime would you say the "don't look it up" advice expires?
YouTube started recommending Outer Wilds videos, intermixed with my Minecraft: Create mod videos and I was very confused what mod it was
Nier automata, nier replicant, Yakuza like a dragon, FF7R, Baldurs Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Control, star wars fallen order/survivor
Don't know that they'll all be ported to PC but the Supermassive standalones (Until Dawn, The Quarry) and Dark Pictures Anthology are great, if you like horror movies. I prefer to watch my wife play them. They're literally like interactive/choose your own adventure films.
I recently got "Yakuza Like a Dragon" from my Humble Choice bundle and it's so good it's made me want to check the rest of the series.
It's maybe my fav series in gaming. Kiryu is so much better than ichiban
Yakuza 0 was absolutely fantastic, kiwami 1 was ok and kiwami 2 was also good
Spiritfarer, To the Moon, Gris (no words in this one but still a good story imo), anything SuperGiant has ever made with my favorite being Transistor.
Best response
Definitely anything SuperGiant. Bastion, Hades, and Transistor are some of the only games I've actually finished, and the sound tracks are incredible.
Tales of Vesperia. I like the combat system most, but the story's pretty good, and there's a lot of optional content.
Story first games: Tacoma, What Remains of Edith Finch, Life Is Strange, Botany Manor(more puzzle than story), Open Roads, Lake, Deliver Us The Moon, Firewatch, Kona, Day of the Tentacle (The remaster is incredible)
For more standard shoot or action games with good writing/story I love the remedy games, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, Control.
I was never a huge fan of Telltale style story games that much, but I really enjoyed the Back to the Future one that came out years back. Not sure if that’s still available anywhere though.
Sea of Stars.
I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and it's awesome. The story is decent and the graphics and design are top notch. It was so captivating that I pretty much didn't play anything else while I was working through the game.
I have to say is this is clearly the closest gaming has come to a sequel to Chrono trigger
In Stars and Time is especially appropriate for Pride Month!
Disco Elysium is phenomenal as well.
Star Wars Fallen Order has a great story and really fun gameplay.
Favorite point and click adventure: Sam and Max. They recently remastered the first season. Funny/silly game.
Disco Elysium
The only run I haven't done is the fascist run because I cannot be a dick to Kim.
I have played "The Invincibles" recently. It's a beautiful walking sim.
My absolutely most favorite single player and gaming experiences in general are:
Their replayability is 0 but man do these experiences stay with you. I still think about outer wilds daily and i finished it last year.
Also a word of caution:
Both these games function with knowledge-based progression, so almost everything you look up about these games can be considered a spoiler and will lessen your experience with them!
I bought outer wilds a while ago but haven't played it yet, I should probably give it a try
