Video Game Suggestions

253 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.

I like the story and feel of genshin impact and the fact that it's open world along with the world design

I've tried looking online but most posts are asking for games with similar combat style while I'm looking for games that have story, feel, open world and world design to genshin

Unfortunately genshin is an gacha game and I dislike gacha

I prefer games with female main characters but ones with males are okay

Having never played Genshin Impact because it's a gacha game but having a friend who plays it and knowing the artstyle:

  • Immortals: Fenyx Rising, also open world, canonically female protagonist though you can play another gender
  • Breath of the Wild and its sequel Tears of the Kingdom, open world, heard its exploration is very similar
  • Perhaps Xenoblade Chronicles? It is open world and from the little I have seen of Genshin's battle system this seems to have a similar one
  • I dropped out of the gacha Infinity Nikki (!infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de) but it has a lot of Genshin fans, no combat, female main character
  • Just going off of vibes, the Tales of series, anime style and nice story, combat style might be similar
  • Again going off of vibes, the Atelier series, especially for artstyle, combat might be similar, don't know too much about world design but it might match
  • Just off vibes, Granblue Fantasy: Relink
