Oldstench posted:My turn to ask for a rec. I want a game that has the same vibe as Cultist Simulator. Not another plate-spinner though. Something with cults and hidden knowledge, crazy lore, weird experimentation, etc. Anything like that? this game might be up your alley, i don't think it has "crazy" lore but it's all about intrigue and secrecy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA9YWnwQmog

The Cultist Simulator developer has a follow up coming out about running a spooky library or something, though I would encourage pirating it rather than supporting someone who abuses his position to sexually harass women

I've been going between Hardspace: Shipbreaker and SnowRunner the last couple weeks. Looking for more games along those kinda... Chill Labor Simulator?... lines. I think* main appeal for me is the sense of satisfaction coming from a big, nasty, ugly, dangerous job done well, alongside the actual ingame rewards (better tools/trucks/roads/whatever). The appeal definitely sn't the actual trucks themselves - I don't give a frank poo poo about trucks or cars, and Euro/American Truck Simulator and the Farm Simulator games completely fell flat for me. * Emphasis on think. Shipbreaker's a little easier to figure out - love me some space and scifi - but by all rights I should hate SnowRunner. The UX is jank as hell, it's buggy, progression is unclear, and of course it is glacially paced, and yet I can't stop thinking about playing more when I get home!

Viscera Cleanup Detail pretty much created the entire genre of Chill Labor House Flipper is not bad Car Mechanic Sim? Kinda repetitive after a while, but you can get some serious podcast hours out of it. I don't give a poo poo about cars either, but disassembling and assembling engines can be very satisfying.

Glare Seethe posted:I haven't played it myself so can't vouch for it personally but I always thought The Shrouded Isle looked interesting, and it might fit the bill. I've only played this a bit - it absolutely has that feeling but I'm not sure you really get to explore the background and lore. The setting is super atmospheric if you want to play a game about cults and dark gods, but it's there for atmosphere rather than being something like Cultist Simulator where you can piece together the ~deep lore~ and read explainer guides about it.

I enjoyed Mech Mechanic Simulator. For several hours, anyways. The gameplay is repetitive enough that it's pretty relaxing, but complex enough that it doesn't get immediately boring. It adds in new elements as you go along but it doesn't overwhelm you or get too boring. I pretty much bounced off Hardspace but I am (was, really, haven't played in a while) a huge Snowrunner fan. I'd like to ask people to recommend 2D platforming/action/etc. games, preferably with pixel graphics, and ones that I've never heard of, but how would you all know what I've heard of? And I've heard of quite a bit I think but the itch is never fully scratched. Basically the more obscure the better and it must be on PC, if any fool wants to take on the challenge.

Foregone is a pretty cool if short (5-6 hours) pixel action platformer with gear and progression reminiscent of Dead Cells, except not a roguelike.

In all my days playing dumb little games on the internet, the two that still stick out most to me are Clarence's Big Chance and Redder. You might also be interested in Fallover or the goonmade Megaman Romhack Megaman Dongs. In less weird recesses of my brain, there's Torquel, Reagan Gorbachev, One Dog Story, Iconoclasts, and Kero Blaster.

If I want to learn Yu-Gi-Oh which is the best game to do so? (on PC/steam) Ideally something where I can just buy a game and not have to purchase individual cards or booster packs but if that doesn't exist then I'm not picky.

Seraph looks cool, kind of reminds me of My Friend Pedro. Party Hard looks badass too, I can definitely enjoy the darker stuff. I'm not a big bullet hell fan though re: Deathstate but In Celebration of Violence is definitely interesting.

What are all the games that procedurally generate characters with their own backstories and personalities? I love all the ones I've encountered that do this. XCOM 2, Darkest Dungeon, and Faster Than Light are three examples.

Most of the mercs you can hire have proc-gen backgrounds and a few traits that sometimes come up during random events in between missions.

I've got a complicated request that I'm not really sure makes sense for anyone but me. I like games where you slowly develop a character/entity in a world, getting access to more and more gameplay features and parts of the world. That specific feeling of things opening up around you. The games I can think of that give me this feeling is RuneScape (unlocking new areas and ways to train), Supraland (not a lot of character development, but a world that opens up in a cool way) and heavily modded minecraft (the modpack GT:NH where my new tech unlocks allow me to get new gear/exploit new resources/killing new bosses, getting me more tech, repeat). What other games are like that?

Elswyyr posted:I've got a complicated request that I'm not really sure makes sense for anyone but me. I feel like I could recommend it for half the posts in this thread, but I get that distinct feeling from Satisfactory. It takes place on one enormous map, and as you exploit more resources, there’s a very satisfying feeling of the world getting smaller as you come to understand it through building within it. There’s no part of the world locked off to the player per se, but natural geography essentially fills the same purpose and can eventually be overcome with later unlockable tech (a jet pack, for example). Biomes that in the beginning feel totally out of reach eventually become juuuuust about traversable, until finally you’ve built infrastructure in, on, and around it that lets you navigate it any way you want

In a way I'm reminded of games like Chibi Robo and Moon: Remix RPG Adventure. Both games you effectively have a limited range of motion because your stamina slowly drains as you do actions, and you need to have enough stamina to get back home or else you'll die. The gameplay loop in both games involves helping people with their problems to get more max stamina so that you have access to more of the game world.

Although I guess in many games you aren't expected to go back to old areas so it's not really the same. I guess.... Ori and the Blind Forest? Retro Machina which is a new games with a pretty large game world and includes some backtracking? Wandersong? That one sixty second game where you only have 60 seconds to open up a new area or do whatever? Zelda and the Ocarina of Time? I'm probably way off
