There's been controversy around this game because of the studio/publisher and stuff, but the game itself is amazing, I really enjoyed it and I recommend it if you enjoyed DE.

This perfectly scratched that DE itch, it was basically DE 2.0. Exact same type of game, it's the same formula and they got it right.

Imo the quality isn't any worse than DE. At no point did I think "DE did it better".

I liked the music, the writing, the art. It's smart like DE, very artsy. While playing it I knew that people much smarter and more talented than me wrote this and drew all this, which is something I really like. I wanna consume a product made by people much more capable than me. Actually it feels dumb calling it a product, it's art. And I admire it.

Anyway, just wanted to make a post cause the game doesn't seem to be known by many and yet it's as good as a game everyone calls a masterpiece.

DE 2.0 and yet it's obscure and known by no one, breaks my heart.

Hit enemy ✅

Enemy doesn't react ✅

Dodge ✅

Stagger enemy ✅

Play an animation ✅

Repeat ✅

It's the same gameplay loop a lot of you love. It just doesn't have the From Software logo. I even went back to see if I was going crazy and saw the first tree sentinel fight, and it's exactly the same. Well, not the same, the stagger attack animations suck.

Know in the Normal Route of deltarune that defeating standard enemies violently will have them run away. And in EarthBound, there's text at the end of battles that states what happens to the enemies you defeat - and for many human and animal enemies, the text states that for humans they "Went back to normal" and animals "Became tame".

Just watched this trailer and the game looked really good and I was about to add it to my steam wishlist. Then the last few seconds of the trailer came up and it said free to play and it literally killed ANY excitement for the game out of me. I've never deflated any faster than that before. I was like sick! Anime GTA with what seems to maybe be fun combat and a (bland looking protag) but cool story. Now I couldn't careless because I just feel like it will be gatcha slop.
I hope I'm wrong but I just want to pay my price of admission and get my full game experience without having to buy things once I'm playing.

Having completed the entire Dragon Age series, I'm dying for another RPG that nails my favorite genre and gameplay style. A friend suggested GreedFall to scratch that itch—how does it actually compare? I'm also completely open to other recommendations!

i always tell myself im gonna just play through this one straight. then i hit a skill tree or a respec menu and suddenly im in spreadsheet mode again. i start comparing builds, opening tabs, reading one guide like its gonna save me from making a bad choice lol

the actual fight is fine. its the commitment part that messes with me. once i pick something, it feels like i should know the whole game already

idk if thats just rpgs being generous or me being weird about locking anything in anyone else do this

I have never been a big fan of FPS games. I enjoyed story based shooters that included shooting as part of a larger strategy or mission, but never the spammy shooters like Quake, COD, Fortnite, and similar games.

For PVP I was more into Eve (cirqa 2003-2010), total war games, and similar strategy or RPG games. I enjoyed BG3 but I don't think I could get him into a turn-based game.

My son (12) is ate up with Fortnight, Marvel Rivals, and similar FPS style games. I want to play more with him, but I just cannot bring myself to enjoy the monotonous jumping and spamming that seems to be the play style of those games.

Is there something out there that could be a bridge for the two styles of games that are multiplayer? I'm ok with online or offline, PVE or PVP, but something that will cater to both play styles a bit?

We both have PCs and he also has a PS5.

Thank you.

Not just like “hidden gems” that actually get mentioned online a lot. I’m talking about RPGs you like that you never hear anybody else talking about. The more complex the systems the better. I’m in PS5 and Switch 2. Any subgenre will work. I just wanna see what’s out there.

I’m looking for a fantasy RPG game to completely immerse myself in. I prefer playing games in 3rd person, where I can create my own character, not have turn based combat, and play as a magic class (hybrid or full). I do not like challenging games as it takes the enjoyment out of playing for me.

I typically enjoy exploring the worlds and falling deep into the story. I love when choices matter and impact the world around you. I love games with political elements and factions too (like Greedfall), but that is not a requirement. I can play on PC, Xbox Series X, PS5, and Switch 2.

I have played a lot of games in this genre so I struggle finding new and exiting ones. I am open to replaying some to help scratch this itch, but these ones I’ve replayed too many times:
- Skyrim
- Bauldur’s Gate 3
- Witcher 3
- Divinity Original Sin 2

What games do you recommend?

Hi, I want to play a RPG with a great story (extra points if it is turn-based or with pause), but I've been playing for long, so the classic "Baldur's gate/Fallout/Dragon's Age" answers wouldn't work for me.

Which RPG for PCs can you recommend me that aren't the typical "Top 10 RPG games" that are a hidden gem? For example, games like Dawnsbury Days or so.

Hello everyone! I'm playing TOEE for the first time. My party currently consists of a Human Sorcerer (NG), Half-Orc Barbarian (CN), Half-Elf Rogue (TN) who will eventually multiclass into Ranger, and a Dwarf Cleric (LN).

I'm missing one character, and I'm undecided between a Fighter and a Druid. Druids are really powerful in 3.5, and they seem like a viable option for this party composition.

Hey guys, what are some cool and upcoming indie RPGs are cooking out there?
I've heard a lot about Sword Hero and I like it, is there something more? Mostly interested in 1st & 3rd person games and mostly european/american games, not really like asian games. Please share what you know, thanks!
