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.

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

Honestly? Minecraft. It can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be, as simple or as complex. It's easy to start, but there's a lot of depth to what's possible in the game so it never really feels limited - which is one of the problems I have with most "cozy" or "relaxing" games, they get boring after about 15 minutes.
If you just want to hang out and tend the orchard, raise some crops, maybe build another addition to the house, that's cool. If you feel like getting away from the house for awhile, go on a walkabout, go on an exploration journey, go fight some scary monsters, that's always an option. You can just get lost wandering around for hours or days.
If you want to do a complex project you can get into redstone circuits, which can be as simple as lights that turn on automatically when the sun goes down, or as complex as building a functional computer.
And if you really want to get into it you can look into installing mods, and running your own server.
I always end up going back to Minecraft, because no other game that I know of offers the depth and variability to just fit how I'm feeling at that moment.
