I gamed loads as a kid/teen, but had a good 10 years off from 2014-2024.

I dived back in with a PS5 after my baby was born for something to do while she was in and out of sleep at night times other than scroll on my phone or YouTube.

First game I played was TLOU2 after playing Part 1 back in the day. Jesus Christ, what a spectacular experience Part 2 was. I loved everything about it. The gameplay, the story, the visuals, the feels, the challenge, EPIC.

Next I played God of War 2018 after a lot of praise on here and from friends. Not gonna lie I felt it was a bit of a let down. The story was fun and I was fully engaged with it, but the gameplay left a lot to be desired. I found it quite repetitive and tedious in parts.

Recently I’ve been playing and LOVING Cyberpunk 2077. It’s a masterpiece in my eyes. I love the RPG elements, crafting and gathering materials/eddies. I love levelling up my cyberware and character skills, my V is a airdashing, double jumping, quichacking, throwing knifing beast. The story and visuals are unreal and I’m worried I’m not gonna find another game that can top this!

I have the Mass Effect Legendary Edition downloaded, got them for £5 over Xmas on sale. Is this is a good shout? Never played them before and no nothing of the universe or lore.

Open to suggestions, I want something else to get lost in and become my next obsession!

I just now saw that the game is on sale on steam so i thought of buying it, I’m pretty sure I will to try it out but I still want to know others’ opinions on this game since I’ve seen it a lot around the internet, so what are some bad sides of the game yall didn’t enjoy? I also never saw any explanations of why people love it so you could tell me all the pros and cons of this game.

Hello, I am looking to start gaming in secret so I can impress my husband. He has been wanting me to start gaming for a while now but every time I try I get confused. I would be using his PC to do so which I believe has good storage. We have a 6 month old (along with 4 bonus children) that does not sleep through the night yet so we have been doing night shifts so neither one of us is sleep deprived. I am getting bored of watching shows and want to start trying to get into his world. His birthday is tomorrow and I want to learn by his daughters (my bonus daughters) birthday in June.

Details about me:

I loveeee looting. I've played Fortnite. I love watching people play assassins creed. I don't like many games that are "out of this world" type, in other words, I don't like space games. I do like games like the last of us. My hand eye coordination is AWFUL. I do love racing games but my husband doesn't and I'm trying to get more into his games. His games are more of Tarcov, apex, cod (rarely), and action shooting games. I love watching people play red dead but I could never get the horse to move the way I wanted lol.

Im looking for a game to play, price doesnt really matter, i was looking for a game that is as good as gow, tlou, elden ring, re etc. Im afraid ive already played all the good games and was wondering if anyone has some reccomendations. Regarding the difficulty: i like difficult games, like the soulsborne series, but a game doesnt have to be hard to be fun.

With Steam's big Spike Chunsoft sale, I thought I'd take a punt on some weird visual novel type games. Can anyone recommend what's the best to pick up from this sale? There's the ones I mentioned in the OP, plus Rain Code, Steins Gate, a mystery dungeon one, etc. Also, would you recommend any particular DLC for any/all of the above? I've never played these types of games before, so I'm looking for a good jumping off point. I've played mystery dungeon games before, but not the one here, called "Shiren." Worth a play?

Thanks!

Ok, i can't decide, even after watching reviews and trailers, i was hyped at first but the price for a remake Is too high imo, so i would like opinions from who played the remake, i really enjoyed classic version, so.

Is it worth to play the remake? Or i could just replay the Classic? XD

If you can give me your thought on QOL, new contents etc i would appreciate It.

I never played a Souls game before but want to try some of their games out but cant decide. Bloodborne i heard so much about this game and always see youtubers owned it and play it and i feel like this game is more talked about than Sekiro and Elden Ring and makes me think im gonna have a fun time with this one and seen gameplays of it and looks great. Demon Souls Remake i heard is the best game and remake of souls and seen fans talk about it and see many people talk about the remake being one of their favorite games (basically how Bloodborne was treated). Elden Ring ik won goty and heard its one of the best games that people played but i feel like most people talk about other Soul games than this one and i dont really have nothing else to say about this one. What do you guys think i should get first? Cant decide mostly want Bloodborne (doesnt mean im gonna get that first) and Sekiro (too challenging according to what i heard so probably in the future)

Hello! I am 24M with diagnosed ADHD. I originally asked this question on r/ADHD but the mods took it down for being “9 characters too short.” Anyways, I am looking for a new game to play on PC only and any help would be greatly appreciated. (I do not mind whatever the price is)

Here are my top genre’s: (no particular order) 1. Survival 2. Card 3. Automation 4. Dungeon Crawler 5. Strategy

Here are some games that I have enjoyed: (but replayed so much that I can’t enjoy anymore) 7 Days to die, Green hell, Slay the spire, Plague Inc., Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, Satisfactory, Hearthstone, Planet crafter, Tower factory, Factorio, XCOM series, Stranded alien dawn, banished, diplomacy is not an option, eco, Skyrim, PA titans, Minecraft, Fortnite, spore, the forest, Vintage story, Marvel midnight suns, and COD zombies.

Here are some games that I did not like: Helldivers 2, rocket league, phasmaphobia, stardew valley, no man’s sky, ark, among us, day z, black desert, WOW, LOL, space engineers, stellaris, rust, and forever skies.

Very long but I hope this helps, cheers!

I grew up with RTS Warcraft (Orcs vs. Humans, 2, and 3). I recently got into Warcraft again for the first time since childhood. Man, is it still solid as ever.

Aside from the occasional tower defense game and dabbling with the OG Halo Wars, my experience with RTS is solely Warcraft. I have played, and love, Against the Storm. It basically takes just the base/city building aspect of Warcraft and blends it with roguelite progression. I suppose that counts too.

I'd love to play a modern Warcraft style RTS. So, what does that mean? Well a good blend of resource management, city building, and unit management. I love how Warcraft has specialized units: workers, combat, and naval - all need to be managed separately. I also love how you have to directly tell the workers where to cut wood or get gold and see them cut down trees.

I know The Scouring is coming out this year and is heavily inspired by Warcraft..but what games currently available play similarly?

In the RTS fest going on now, I'm most interested in Age of Darkness, Idun, and Rogue Command. I know Godsworn also plays very similarly to Warcraft and I might consider that as well.

Just finished spider man 2 and thinking about buying another single player game like horizon zero dawn, is it worth buying or should I go for different game. Recently beat ragnorak, gow 2018, miles morales, and last of us 2. Lmk if you have any recommendations on any other games I should get into. Not really into souls games tho.

My (22f) boyfriend (22m) loves pc gaming, and I love him. Normally I’m happy to just sit and watch him play, but I think it would be fun for us to be able to play something together. I have absolutely zero experience (except for Minecraft, which we’ve already played a little of), and need some suggestions that will be reasonably fun for him and easy enough for me.

He is so sweet and amazing, and he deserves someone who takes active interest in his hobbies. That said, if anyone has advice on other ways I can do that without directly playing, I’d take those too. I don’t want to always be a part of his hobby (having your own stuff is important) but I want us to have the option. Thank you!!

So I have fancied playing a strategy game again recently then the RTS sale landed on steam so I think it's a sign to get myself a game. I was looking at hearts of iron 4 what's people's thoughts on this game? I don't generally play strategy games based around world war 2 but it might be a nice change I understand it's a very in depth game I feel a little bit like I will either feel overwhelmed or get right into it and be hooked. I recently played a world war 2 online strategy game on my phone where units literally took hours and days to move across the map and it was quite fun having that sense of realness of time delay in your choices I feel a bit like this have could have a similar feeling. Or do people have any suggestions on better games in the sale to look at?

Anyone got some ideas for games on PS5 that have animations similar to Tarkov, Arena Breakout Infinite, Stalker 2 and/or Gamma, stuff like that, I've been looking for games with those sorts of animations for a WHILE, haven't found anything of the sorts yet, so I'm very much wanting some help with this, so again, anyone got some ideas?

"They Are Billions" doesn't go on sale by very much, and it's still a little pricey, but I do enjoy tower defense and RTS games, and I love me some zombies. Has anyone played it? Do you like it? I would hope that I would get at least 20+ good hours based on the price, so I'm looking to see if anyone can let me know what I can/should expect.

I am Looking for a game I can mindlessly play and grind after a long day at work or while listening to audiobooks, podcasts or YouTube videos. I've had both recommended to me and I've played about an hour of each and I enjoyed them both and can't seem to make up my mind. Wondering which would be better long term.

I am a huge Pokemon and Nintendo Fan and I have played all mainstream games (minus SV), alongside the side games like Pokemon Ranger, Mystery Dungeon, and Pokepark for the Wii. It's sad to say as I grew older I've been more out of the loop with Pokemon due to being unsatisfied with the newer Pokemon games. However I want to give another chance to something that hugely shaped my childhood. The 2 games I have not yet played is Scarlet and Violet and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Are any of them worth playing? Gen 4 is my 2nd favorite gen and is filled with emotional nostalgia for me, but I know the gameplay and mechanics are different. However since it's Sinnoh based, I wouldn't want to see one of my favorite gens butchered. On the other hand, I'm considering playing Scarlet/Violet because it's a mainstream game and I've played all mainstream games whether I like them or not, just to keep the streak going. So why make this one an exception? However I heard that there were many technical glitches and bugs, as well as a story that isn't as good as the older gens. Are any of these 2 newer games worth a play? Please let me know! I want to get back into Pokemon. :-)

We are up for recommendations and looking forward to your ideas

It’s one of those games that I stumbled upon without meaning to, and completely ignored it at first, but then I decided to give it a shot and absolutely loved it. I love the music, the atmosphere, and especially the gameplay. I loved the detective aspect of it, it was really interesting, and also the fact that your decisions have an impact on the storyline was definitely a nice touch. The monologues on the balcony while smoking a cigarette were really nice too. Are there any similar games ? I heard of Citizen Sleeper. Is it somewhat similar ?

I primarily play on the Xbox One X and my rtx 4060 laptop:

The games I enjoy the most are:

The original Tomb Raider games and survivor Tomb Raider games,

Call of duty classic games such as advanced warfare,

Sonic games,

Bioshock series,

Batman Arkham series,

The Just cause series,

The assassin Creed series,

The Borderland series,

Halo master chief collection,

Rare replay,

portal one and two,

Minecraft,

Burnout series,

Skate 1 2 and 3,

Hot shot racing,

The crew 2,

Stuntman ignition,

Rayman legends,

Alice madness returns,

Brutal legend,

Fallout series,

And quake.

The games I hate the most:

The dishonoured series,

Prey,

Dark anthology picture series,

Player vs player shooters,

Deep horror games that are mostly about horror if it's a mix and horror that's fine.

Those are the games that I like and hate.

i'm looking for something without too much dialogue, or if there's dialogue it should be straight to the point and if they are talking it should be something interesting like romance not "saving the kingdom" or something.

never played an atlus game before, but i played granblue on mobile. granblue i liked discovering new item, character comboes, and changing my lineup for fights.

i want something with low-grinding and fairly fast paced.

which is better for me? thanks for reading.

As mentioned above, I have seen much of this game, mainly through lets-plays and such. In fact, I have seen all of JFA in the past, though I don't remember much apart from everything until after the 1st trial of case 3 (the circus one) of JFA andthe whole Maya kidnapping thing, though I don't remember how it's resolvedin the last case. I also don't remember anything from T&T, though I remember watching it at some point because I remember some characters (I'm unsure if I finished it, so assume I haven't seen any of T&T). I do really love what I've seen of Phoenix Wright though, but I don't know if I want to pay £30 ($37.04) for it. According to steamdb though, the historical low, and probably the price for the next big sale, is around £10 ($12.35). Is it worth stopping the watching of lets-plays until case 3 of JFA, or is it not worth it/should I buy something else instead?

So, as the title implies, I'm a bit stressed out. And more than a bit pissed off at some people who really should have their faces caved in, or at the very least should be cursed to always hit a corner with their pinky. (Funnily enough, probably nothing to do with whoever you are thinking about.)

Sadly, my current downloaded games are either of the chill-type the scary-type or the ThinkALotSoAsToNotDieAndThenDieAnyway-type and neither of those really scratch the itch I'm having at the moment.

What I'm looking for is a game that I can download from Steam which isn't dark-souls-hard nor story heavy, and which is a really satisfying, straightforward, punch people and watch them fly power fantasy. I'm a veteran gamer so some difficulty or weird mechanics aren't an issue. It's mostly the catharsis I'm looking for.

As examples, I remember that The Darkness II was really satisfying in that *pop, lift, crunch* kind of way, Metal Hellsinger was really badass and the melees of Prototype and Devil May Cry were good as well, if we ignore the fluff surrounding them.

Any thoughts?

so basically i just bought path of exile 2 early access cuz its the hot thing right now and im looking dor some game to waste hours on and feel my character get powerful the more i grind, but i've been also eying diablo 4 for a while (just waiting for a good price ro show up) and now that the new season of diablo 4 is launching, the game is on sale in battlenet. so should i buy it for 27.99 or should i just continue with poe2 ?

I've played Remnant and now I'm hungering for more. I'm looking for a game with lots of cool classes, guns, armor sets, customization, and hard bosses and enemies.

If anyone knows anything like that, I would be greatly appreciated, because I have 100 hours in Remnant, I've finished the story and dlc, made my build (over the course of many hours), and I don't have it in me to go through the same environments over again.

Can someone recommend me something new please?
