I'm looking for a game with a world like Blade Runner/Shadowrun/Deus Ex. Grimy, rainy, soaked in neon. Cybernetics and magic, preferably open world or an rpg. Suggestions?

It was way too linear and it seemed every scene was just clicking on the highlighted item and checking all the conversation boxes.

Give Dragonfall a shot. I felt the same about SR, but Dragonfall is one of my favorite crpgs in years.

It's an old game but Dreamweb is my fondest memory of a cyberpunk game ever. It's an adventure game you can play with a walkthrough but I never found a game which managed to nail the cyberpunk atmosphere so well. While we wait for cdprojekt cyberpunk e: since it's an old dos game you'll probably need dosbox and certainly the manual. It's not on GOG but easy to find in abadonware. It's definitely worth the effort. It's basically an interactive Philip K Dick novel. SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Oct 9, 2017 |

Just to throw more behind this sentiment; I don't mind Returns for what it is, but it's a very weak entry; Dragonfall dwarfs it in every respect, and Hong Kong blows both of them away.

TOME is loving excellent and everyone should try it. You can get it free from its website and if you like it there's a bunch of extra stuff if you buy it (e.g. on Steam), so there's no excuse not to try it.

Are there any cool, recent, (very) grindy games around? Preferably turn-based, since I currently only have one arm at my disposal ... I don't mind ASCII, terminal-based games, etc.

Cogmind is perfect, and if you want grindy you'll definitely want Elona+. Survival turn based games, which are similarly grindy in a different way like Cataclysm:DDA and UnReal World are also available. The latter three games are three, UnReal World does lock the latest version behind a paywall though. Cogmind is paid, but is REALLY good.

I haven't played a survival horror type of game in AGES, and want to get back into it. I remember liking Dead Space well enough, but I'm not really in the mood for sci-fi space stuff. Something like a modern version of Nocturne is more what I'm looking for I think? e: For PC.

What are some good fantasy games that are like, a typical rpg world where you play a role other than the adventuring heroes? Like reccetear where you're playing an item shop manager and sell equipment to heroes, or crystal chronicles: my life as a king or majesty where you play as the king that sends heroes out on quests.

Guild of Dungeoneering? A sort of card game where you build the dungeon around heroes so they don't kill themselves by their ineptitude.

Been having a surprising amount of fun with Counterspy, despite a few niggling flaws. What other period Cold War / M.A.D. games are there out there these days? I've played NOLF and NOLF 2 and MGS3 to death, and Papers Please, and Defcon, but I'm sure there must be others. e; oh man, Phantom Doctrine looks awesome - but it's not out til next year.

I think Fantasy Life on the DS fits the bill. I didn't play it myself, but it's been described to me as living life as a fantasy world tradesperson.

If you want to go this far back there's the Legend of the River King series for various iterations of Gameboy which is a JRPG about fishing. You're trying to restore peace to the world by catching legendary magical fish and cutting jewels out of them.

I bought this silly game on Steam called PWND. It doesn't have the playerbase to even really be able to play it, but I love the movement (very Quake-like, bunny hop momentum, can jump off walls) and the fact that every weapon is basically variations on rocket launchers. It's described as a rocket arena game. I've heard the term "rocket arena' thrown around forever, and despite sinking a lot of time into Quake and UT and all that over the years, I never really got into the mod scene. So I don't know anything about Rocket Arena, if that is or was a thing, and what the state of that subgenre is, if it even warrants the term. So what I'm asking is, is there a modern rocket arena game or mod that is still played?
