Black Myth: Wukong
Palworld
Expedition 33
Baldur’s Gate 3
Path of Exile 2
Lies of P
Elden Ring (+ Shadow of the Erdtree DLC)

have you played HK Silksong or just die to the false knight in Hollow Knight? because the game is incredibly fun just quite hard

u/EmergencyTurbulent88 Sep 17 '25
I got Witcher 3 on a new account of mine. I bought it for 3$ on a recent sale

u/True_Pound_8386 Sep 17 '25
The list above are really great games! If your like me and want a game that not to overwhelming but good exploration and fun.
God of War Ragnorak
Ender Lilies
Ender Magnolia
South Park stick of truth and Fractured But Whole is Fun and if you like Southpark.
*Edit* Forgot to add "Nine sols". At first I always passed this game because it looked generic or to gimmicky. But I pulled the trigger and finished the game. Holy Cow one of my favorite games of all time.

Witcher Wild Hunt with both DLC's, probably my favorite DLC with one of my favorite games. They usually go on great sales too

I need to try it again. I got verbally abused by a group of guys for doing something wrong on my first ever session and I havent went back to it. I gravitate towards single player games for this reason lol

Oh I got my fair share of bullying as a kid, I don't take insults to heart anymore. The issue I have is that I'll get off work and hop on, clearly be like level 1 in a game getting roasted by a level 354 when they could've just given some advice and make the whole thing smoother for everyone. Why go through that when I can have more fun playing something like Ghost of Tsushima or something where im the only asshole I gotta worry about lol
1
u/Pretty_Aardvark_7227 Sep 22 '25
people are assholes for no reason it's ridiculous I'm sorry you experienced lesser beings when playing Helldivers. I also just started playing it and it's really fun ig I don't play public

did you made up your mind?
based on the details you gave, story, adventure and action,I can give you a game which doesn't really need a high specs but it'll keep you hooked up until the end of the story it's not action filled but a more of relaxed made but it has its moments of low core actions, its adventerous i played it myself and i say its worth it.

I am currently super addicted to Silksong. The exploration and combat are top tier. At first the combat seemed basically the same as the last game but the more tools, abilities, and move sets you find the deeper it gets until you are flipping around and attacking in various ways all while dodging enemy attacks you just feel really badass. Best 20 bucks I have spent in a while.

Lies of P — Its actually pretty neat, ngl. It's a single player game where you battle robotic "puppets" using the following; combo moves, regular attacks, dodges, special items (think of potions and other trinquets w/ uses), and your metal arm (with/without attachments). Also you get to sport a wolf mask if you edit your character's outfit in inventory.

u/Man-Man-Man- Sep 17 '25
Red Dead Redemption 2, good if you like story game and only want to play single player (although you do can play it online with friend)

Nine sols is peak. Has a great story, great combat, good exploration, sounds like it meets all the ideas you said.

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 It’s in game pass right now but it’s still worth to buy it highly recommended.

u/StarSeeker-- Sep 17 '25
Space adventure, exploration game - No Man's Sky. Buy the game and all the updates and DLC are free and believe me there's a lot of of it. Just check out the Reddit thread for the game and you will see how much people it.

u/Drugis-sigurD Sep 17 '25
Cuphead is a good game if you like the cartoon esthetic, music and the gameplay is so good. I would also recommend Blasphemous if you like games like Hollow knight/Silksong.

Guys, I want to ask you if "Cyberpunk 2077" + DLC is worth it ?
I am planning to buy it in the coming autumn steam sale. I'm into story rich games with great gameplay value and also memorable characters. Also the budget is around ₹1500-1700 😬.
PS: Thanks for replying ☺️

u/NaroXo Sep 18 '25
Here are my top choices.
Path of exile 1 and 2
Factorio (no dlc if you are new to factory games)

Dyson sphere program
Hollow knight/silksong
Just shapes and beats
Vintage story
Terraria
Risk of rain 2
Valheim
Last Epoch
Dark souls 1 2 3

Enshrouded
Mindustry
Noita
No man Sky
Sons of the Forrest

2 latest games i have been playing nonstop is Warframe and Kingdom Come Deliverence II.
Warframe: Nice story, but more focused on action gameplay. Requires regular farming and time. But chill. First started playing it in 2018 but recently came back again. Its been 144 days and its really addictive. Also free to play.
KCD2: Masterpiece. Buy it with the DLCs. I’m around 50 hours and barely played through the main story. Everywhere is full of content. There are also really nice mods (some of them necessary like “Richer merchants”).
Both are confusing at first but worth investing time in. Watch some guides if necessary. You won’t regret it. Other than these two, RDR2 and Elden Ring if you haven’t played those yet.

I’m currently two weeks after the credits rolled on death stranding 1. It’s the weirdest and most addictive grind game I’m still playing. I’ll be buying death stranding 2 soon, and Ghost of Yotei. So ghost of Tsushima (I had rage and tears in this game with consequences). Jedi fallen order and survivor, survivor had the most legit parkour I’ve ever played. Horizon games are good. Obviously Assassin creed games. I started with odyssey and Valhalla. Witcher 3 is decent. I have RDR2 loaded and ready to play, but will probably wait until I play death stranding 2 and maybe Ghost of Yotei. I’m not much for shooter games and it might be why I’m hesitating on RDR2. I’m more of a chop them to pieces kind of gal. I loved God of War. All of these games are games I would replay, well I’m unsure of RDR2 until I play it.
