Chorus is a space dogfighting game that's quite fun. Has good storytelling. Doesn't pad time with repetitive/recycled quests so progression always feels unique. Some people find the inner monologue of the protagonist annoying but it's fine imo
Returnal, a rogue like 3rd person shooter (sort of bullet hell) with a scifi alien setting and a mindfuck story. It's one of my favorite games I've played in years, both for the story and gameplay. I can't recommend it enough.
If you're familiar with the story of the first Last of Us game, Last of Us 2 is great and is centered around Ellie.
Soul Hackers 2 is a nice little palette cleanser of an RPG. Not as expansive as other Megaten games but it kept me engaged all the way through. The main party are all adults too which is a nice change of pace.
algitht than if you like a nicely structured story than stay away its purposely confusing to "portray a certain type of mental illness", which i call bullhog on, a confusing mess is a confusing mess
combat i find too slow the game is generally boring to actually play
like it wanted to be an art project so bad bad just had to attach a game to it
Yeah we should! Most games listed here could have switched the character gender without making changes to the plot as such.
But it does make a difference, so I think they should be included. Even in the extreme example like Satisfactory, where you barely see what your quiet protagonist looks like, it's make a lot of people happy that the character just is female without it being pointed out or sexed up. It's also made a few people from the Expected Crowd confused and annoyed, which is healthy.
I enjoyed the chill, stylized vibes in Sable. Coming of age, botw-inspired exploration, beautiful world. No (?)Combat—I don’t remember fully, but very little at least. Just explore, experiment, and engage the world around you. A passable world-build/story too!
I definitely have to add another vote for Celeste. The mental health theme was incredibly well done and it’s one of the most memorable games I’ve ever played.
Dishonored 2. Haven’t played through much of it because my laptop is a bit weak, but loved the first one.
I’m very much looking forward to Hades 2, and hope it won’t be too much longer before we see some more news on it! I would like to try Transistor sometime too, as I’ve heard good things about it.
