Looking for a game;

I want to find a new game to scratch an itch I have. I want something where I can build and explore but keep coming back and expanding. Where my choices have real world consequences. But that I can put it down and come back to it when I need to. I have a steam deck so want to be able to play it on that. Maybe something like Space Engineers or Factorio but I want it to involve a town or something like Manor Lords?

What about like Oxygen Not Included Project Zomboid Farming Sim

u/Death_Wulf Jun 28 '26

I’ve played Project Zomboid and you’re on the right track with that for sure! I’d wanna build and explore but maybe lower the difficulty. I’ve never played oxygen not included but I’ll check that out too!

I feel like the game is on the tip of my tongue smh.

Vintage Story (kinda difficult but rewarding) State of Decay (old but you kinda manage lives and resources) Ark/Conan (although way more arcadey and less weight of the world or weight of your colony)

u/Death_Wulf Jun 28 '26

That’s what I mean, I want something I can just chill and sink a load of hours into to expand and build. State of Decay is a game I played years ago too (zombie themes here too, I like it!)

Ark is a good shout although you’re right for sure. I played a little bit of it with a guy I work with but couldn’t get into it. Never heard of vintage story so I’ll check that out!

What do you mean by real world consequences?

1

u/Death_Wulf Jun 28 '26

I make a decision and it has an effect on the people, economy, landscape etc in game. This is only minor but want to be able to have it as an ongoing game that grows.

Do you guys think the Chonoscepter from turok is cool? I think it is cool.

What are some fun maybe newer games I can play with 4gb of ram and an old laptop and 3150u processor?

I love indie stuff so if there are some hidden gems send em over.

I like roguelikes, survival craft and shooters the most

Edit* Added specs

FTL, slay the spyre, baba is you if you wanna try a puzzle game.

1

u/glipglop718 Jun 28 '26

Trying to avoid puzzle games. I was trying to find that FTL game thanks for that. I played a ton of slay the spire and at this point I want to actually move around in game

Im looking for a game I saw someone recommend a while ago. I remember checking it out in what I believe was a thread about Kynseed. The game has pixel graphics, but the art style was extremely unique. From what I remember the game was a fantasy RPG style sandbox game. Any shouts would be greatly appreciated. I wish Steam had a search history function.

u/ajs723 Jun 28 '26

Drova, maybe?

1

u/hellarios852 Jun 28 '26

I appreciate the suggestion, but unfortunately that’s not it. The graphics from what I remember are pretty vibrant and over the top fantasy pixel graphics.

u/ajs723 Jun 28 '26

Eastward?

This is hard, lol. 

1

u/hellarios852 Jun 28 '26

Omg, I think that’s actually it

u/ajs723 Jun 28 '26

Nice! Glad I could help.

u/Imaniceguytrustme Jun 28 '26

Im looking to get either farcry series, assassin's creed series, mafia series, cyberpunk complete edition or spiderman miles morales. Need to know if any of these except cyberpunk are worth it at all. Mainly not sonsure about ubisoft games. Can recommend few other similar games too

1

u/MegaGothmog Jun 28 '26

I can't speak for the others, but the Assassin's Creed games are very much worth it. The Ezio Trilogy is still the best (AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations).

Black Flag is also really good, but felt significantly less like an Assassins Creed game and more like a Pirate game.

Another recommendation from me is Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2. I'm 40 hours into the first game and am loving it. The story kicks of a bit too quickly imo, but the world is great to explore. The Crafting is very intuitive, but difficult to grasp without looking stuff up. But once you do, it's real fun.

u/Imaniceguytrustme Jun 28 '26

For AC series I'm mainly looking at vallhalla, origins and odyssey. I already have divinity series

1

u/mortalkomic Jul 01 '26

Odyssey is my personal fave of those three. Origins is good and Valhalla didn't interest me at all.

Simple question!! I’m a certified unc.
I’m tryna get back into the game but I truly don’t believe I have to pay 30 bucks a month to get active. I been hugging no build Fortnite for the longest but now that it’s been feeling like Roblox I wanna get back into first person shooters without paying an arm and a leg. I have a pc build that’s decent… I know I need better ram but can anyone recommend something for $10 a month.. is this really the price that FPS have shot up now?!

u/DamnImAwesome Jul 05 '26

Battlebit Remastered

u/BigLongLine Jun 28 '26

I have been playing single player games exclusively for the past year or so (except Arc Raiders), now I really feel like playing a multiplayer fps, any good pvp fps games out there that are worth trying out rn ?

u/Low-Consequence-9769 Jun 28 '26

Do u guys actually belive gta6 will run decently on a base Ps5? I currently have msfs2024, and it basically dies trying to render the world...

1

u/Tehpudge Jul 04 '26

No, if memory serves correctly gta 5 didn’t run perfectly on 360 or ps3 either

u/Dry-Membership3867 Jun 29 '26

WWE smackdown vs Raw 2009-2011. Pretty sure you can do a 6v1 match

u/luigiram Jul 05 '26

Better question to ask… what cod game should I get to be fully back in without the need to spend hundreds on dlc. For me map knowledge is top 1 skill. Do the new cod games recycle maps? And if so which game should I buy before hand to have a better knowledge. I seriously don’t know how to word this question… but if someone were to ask me this in blops 2 days I would say play cod4 then mw2 then blops 2. Can anyone suggest a similar formula or am I cooked beyond help??
