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

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.
Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
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.
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.

Games that feel like vacation (feddit.org)

I won't be able to go on vacation for quite some time, so I'm looking for games that feel like vacation. Games that take place in luxurious hotels or just have the right vibes. The first part of the first Dead Island would be a great example, but also niche games like P.A.M.E.L.A. or Paradise Killer.

Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2, plus Chao Resort Island if you enjoy the Chao Gardens from the other two (it's a free fanmade project that's almost exactly like the GBA Chao Garden, but with much more functionality and mechanics)

I just finished it for the first time in probably 20 years, but Blinx 2 as it takes place across a few different biomes/locales, with the very first taking place in a tropical island setting much like a lot of Sonic games (the character Blinx was apparently created by Sonic's creator too). It's very fun and you can customize your own Time Sweeper and Tom Tom members, equipped with their own teams and weapons/gear. I mostly mention this as I feel like more people need to know about and play this game, but it is incredibly fun (I'd love for there to be a Blinx 3 somewhere down the line). There's also co-op and multiplayer, which the first game didn't have.

Rollin' Rascal isn't really out yet, but there's a demo on steam that's been getting fairly regular updates for the last year or so, but it's super fun imo. It's basically a 3D Sonic knock-off but everything just works so smoothly and there's plenty of techniques to learn to get through stages faster. There's even multiplayer on the demo so you can race other people online and customize your own "Rascal."

Dishonored 2 maybe?
