Video Game Suggestions

A place to find suggestions for video games! For example, you might create a post looking for recommendations for a game to play with a friend, or a game that is easy to play if you just broke your dominant hand. Or you might post a list of games that let you use a whip as a weapon. A lot of rules for conduct here are pretty obvious (don't be a jerk, stay on-topic) so I'll bold the weird ones.

Rules

  1. Please stay on-topic: post requests for games that match some criteria you specify, lists of games with a certain element, or something otherwise relevant to helping people find games that match certain criteria.
    • If you're looking to find the name of a particular game or video game series you forgot, you should go to !TipOfMyJoystick@retrolemmy.com. This community is for fielding suggestions for games, not for finding one specific video game.
    • If you're making a post that is suggesting games, it should be a list of games. This is partially to help prevent the community from being overrun by people just suggesting their favorite game, and devs suggesting you play their latest game. This is about posts, not comments. It's okay to comment on a post asking for gaming suggestions with just one game.
  2. Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
  3. Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
  4. When advertising something you have worked on, please use common sense for what is spammy. Self-promotion isn't totally banned: if someone asked for an RPG where you can play a lich, and the game you worked on is an RPG where you can play a lich, you can definitely answer with your RPG. I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.
  5. Please indicate spoilers when necessary. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.
Spoilers for SomeGameSomething that happened at the end of the game! Something else that happened at the end of the game!

will appear as

Spoilers for SomeGameSomething that happened at the end of the game!

Something else that happened at the end of the game!

Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some incredible story-driven games—ones that pull us into their world with gripping narratives, deep characters, and immersive gameplay. Some examples of what I'm looking for include the Homeworld series, the Horizon series, The Last of Us, some Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider games, etc. So I'm not too picky about the genre.

If you've played any unforgettable games with amazing storytelling, do tell! What games had you hooked from start to finish?

I also mod !bunnies@lemmy.world, and there I maintain a list of fictional works about bunnies, with a video game section. I have pasted the list as it is now. If you're reading this in the future, it's likely some new games have been added to the linked list that aren't on the pasted version here.

Right now, all the posts are from !games@lemmy.world from before this community was made. This list is not exhaustive; I stopped trawling the !games@lemmy.world history at around the 3 month mark. Will update with more if I see them. Some things here might not have started as "give me suggestions", like my own post "What is your favorite indie game?" (which is also why I did not initially post it here instead) but considering the replies turned out to be a list of games fitting the parameters set in the title just like a "give me suggestions" post I figured I'd include posts not intended to be suggestion seeking but that could practically be used for it based on their comment section full of games and nothing else too.
