It's a fully destructible voxel heist game - you have a planning phase, where you can freely walk around the environment, make holes in buildings and plan the most efficient routes, and then you have one minute to actually execute the heist when alarms start blaring and/or the entire map starts burning. Or maybe something tactical and sneaky like Heat Signature, or Invisible Inc?

Definitely going to try Lobotomy Corporation, thanks for that!grate deceiver posted:Teardown maybe?

I played Teardown and liked it, but I found the later levels boring because they all depend on stealing cars and building staircases.

Some games that do this well include Left 4 Dead, FTL, Project Winter, and the board game Roborally. What are some other games like this? Streets of Rouge - sort of a 2d simplified Dues Ex where you progress through levels of a randomized city completing missions depending on your character (which have a wide range of abilities). You could be an escaped gorilla who punches people through walls but can't talk to humans, you could be a hacker and unlock doors by hacking computer poo poo, be a slum dweller that drinks trashcan whiskey, or a doctor who can't use guns but can poison people in buildings by putting gas in their air conditioners. The characters and factions in the world have their own little alliances and interact with each other, sometimes it can go crazy real fast. If you open all the cells in a jail and all the gangsters bust out they get into a huge hell war with the police, or if you hack the banks and steal their money the city goes into lockdown and killer robots are chasing you shooting rockets which blowup an army barracks and now the soldiers start shooting you and the robot. Plenty of the different classes are less combat oriented, so if poo poo does sideways you need a scapegoat or need to bailout fast. new Xcom 1 and 2 - yea it's a turn based strategy game, but the best part of it is how it can quickly swing between "killing all the aliens no big deal, this mission is a breeze" to "oh poo poo, well I lost a guy, oh poo poo now another one, this is not looking so good now". Both new Xcom games are great at this. Sometimes a single missed shot can unravel your plans. Killing Floor 2 - zombie shooter like Left 4 Dead, except it is round based where you earn money and buy new guns with different waves of enemies plus a boss at the end. Maps are more of a freeform defensive deal compared to L4D 'progress through a map to the end' style. Unreal engine game, so it has an insane amount of custom maps. Rounds usually follow the format of Phase1) - everyone sticks together in a spot killing zombies and watching each other's back to Phase2) - people get separated or scattered and slowly picked off as people run for their life Phase3) - final survivors try to clear the last few remaining zombies as everyone cheers them on as spectators. Barotrauma - Submarine Space Station 13, made for multiplayer with 2-16 friends/randos. Much more complex than We Need to Go Deeper. Early Access, so not complete yet but fun. We Need to Go Deeper - Submarine Space Station 13, made for coop with 2-4 friends. Less complex than Barotrauma, has a overarching story that you can 'win'. Can be buggy.

Kind of a broad ask, but I'm looking for games that feel like the world exists with or without the player and you're not supposed to be there. It's a hard feeling to describe but I guess what I'm getting at is the game feels like it is about the world itself and the player is just an unwelcome intruder. Some good examples would be most of Subnautica, the first part of The Forest, some areas of the Souls series like Ash Lake and Untended Graves, and maybe Outer Wilds.

Fruits of the sea posted:Definitely true. I would say specifically Shadow of Chernobyl if you are going Stalker for this kind of thing. It has a much more active gameworld than Call of Pripyat. Some people prefer COP and there are arguments to be made there (certainly more polished) but I think it's incontrovertible that SOC has the better and more active open world. COP relies more on specific locations with stuff going on at them, you go there and do the thing and kill the bad guys, and then it's over and empty. SOC has a lot more people and monsters being spawned and just wandering around and living their lives. There may be COP mods that change this.

I only played for an hour, because it crashed, but you are thrown in the middle of a strange crisis situation and can either lie that you know what you are doing, or tell everyone that you are somehow bodyswapped in to this character you are now controlling. Seemed pretty cool, I should try again.
