this game used to have a single player or coop campaign mode i think, they did the fortnite thing and pivoted to battle royale but back when I tried it out the single player mode was still available idk if it's still in that was a while ago also it used to be just called "gene shift", lol at the name change just to sound like more of a clone

Gene shift is the best. It uses obviously lifted counterstrike sound effects, too.

There are a ton of games in that genre and it's hard to give informed recommendations without knowing what you specifically liked about it. Pretty much what the Steam page description has: turn-based kingdom management, exploration, and hero development, contrasted with short and intense real-time battles. I think typically these types of games have turn based battles right? Not looking for super grand like Total War epic battles with 100s of units in real time but the simplified semi-auto battler of SoS with some mild user direction was kinda cool - not sure if there's anything just like that or it's all turn based grid combat. Curious what's out there.

I was recently playing Binary Domain, and while it's not an exact match, it made me think: are there any cool third-person shooters with some neat RPG-esque squad-based tactics management? Basically I'd be looking for a game that's close to something like Mass Effect, but more short straightforward action-focused if possible instead of being a big sprawling RPG: think more like XCOM The Bureau (except, uh, better than that game).

There was some ww2 game with lots of squad tactics, but I can't recall the name, or if it's too old to really feel contemporary, or if it was really that good. It was based around the Normandy campaign? EDIT: Oh, it's a FPS.

Freedom Fighters was a pretty solid game, real early in this sort of genre of being a third-person cover shooter, ordering your doods around. I don't remember any RPG mechanics though.

Nearly finished my Cyberpunk playthrough and one of the things I like the most was you can just boot it up for 30mins to an hour and wander around Night City doing very little except whatever random quest or gig or randomly-generated event happened around you. Are there any other games like this where it's fun to just exist in the world and fool around without pursuing the main story? I've heard Red Dead Redemption 2 is kind of like this, anything else? No survival or co-op games please.

No survival or co-op games please. Depends on how vibrant you need the world to be but you could try Ghost Recon Breakpoint or the latest two assassin's creeds. It's no night city but they are big open worlds that facilitate short play sessions. Buy 'em cheap and temper your expectations and you might like them. Breakpoint in particular I recommend you up the combat difficulty (it has VERY granular settings) until it feels more like a game where prolonged shootouts and "fair fights" are a really bad idea; it'll lead to a lot more sneaking around and desperate running gun battles to break contact.

No survival or co-op games please. that's kind of the whole driving ethos of bethesda's open world games (minus starfield since every major destination needs to be fast traveled to and is surrounded by infinite procgen planet so you can't really stumble into things randomly) so try one of the twelve million rereleases of skyrim or fallout3/new vegas/4

No survival or co-op games please. I'm sure you could go for any sort of open-world game like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Witcher, GTA and so on, but one game in particular I thought about was Guild Wars 2, as long as you're interested in the MMO scene: there's always some sort of activity to do, be it dungeons or crafting or exploring or PVP or jumping puzzles and so on, and you can wander around and end up participating in tons of dynamic events that pop up, from helping a farmer pick apples, to repelling a goblin raid, to battling a world boss with loads of other people.

Kingdoms of Amalur is known for being fun if you just choose a random direction and see what quests and locations turn up. Don't think I've ever heard anybody mention the main story, just exploring

I just finished beating all of the legacy goals in We Who Are About to Die. While I enjoyed its unique gladiator roguelike elements, what really entertained me were its wacky physics where you'd chop a guy's head off and his body goes flying over the crowd or out of the coliseum. Are there any good or at least decent games with wacky physics like this, either intentional or unintentional? I already know about Goat Simulator, Surgeon Simulator, Kerbal Space Program, Besiege and Gang Beasts. I think I prefer unintentional, but either is okay.

No survival or co-op games please. Kingdom Come: Deliverance might flick your bean. It's kinda janky in places, and if you're looking for eventual closure you aren't going to find it here but get the camping mod, go live in the woods, hunt, read and drink for a few days.

No survival or co-op games please. Not as dynamic with random events, but possibly Sleeping Dogs. You even have the choice of a good few Hong Kong radio stations when driving. It can be a surprisingly chill experience in-between the ultra-violence of the main story. You can even get pork buns. It regularly goes on sale as the definitive edition with all DLCs for a fiver too.

I forgot the name of a game I played once: it's free, most of the screen taken up by a map of the world. You play as a rogue AI, and your job is to evolve by spreading through the world's network of computers (to start with), but if you act too aggressively, you risk getting discovered and hunted or destroyed by the humans. e: vvv just posted there, thanks doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Nov 20, 2023 |

What is there in terms of horror games with actual gameplay (no walking sims) that most importantly don't have jump scares? The ones I'm thinking of are Signalis and Deadwood but I'll take anything with a good horror atmosphere, some kind of gameplay and no jump scares.
