Video Game Suggestions

515 readers

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!

Not Rules

Magazine/community icon is the Apple video game emoji and green checkmark emoji for now. Suggestions for a replacement are very welcome.

Where you're not just dumped in and you have to figure everything out yourself. And where you are not given tons of information at once in quick succession.

But it's also not as slow as a mobile freemium cash grab tutorial, where things that are obvious to gamers are pointed out and made to be the only thing you are allowed to interact with.

Satisfactory

A factory automation game where you start with just mining iron and copper, and you end up making your own creative mode in the end

Until this past week, I haven't played since before update 7.

I just unlocked dimensional uploaders and have been zooming around in my hover pack building SO many things. It's great not having to go through my spaghetti nests to find a specific storage bin because I'm missing 3 pieces of whatever to build.

Once I unlocked the monorail, I built a few power plants and went to town building rails all over the map and then deleting everything I had built before.

10/10 game, will easily sink 1000 hours into it before next year at this rate.

I like to joke that this game made me late for work for the first week I played it. So many late nights...
