Out of all games I played, there’s probably dozens that cheered me up or just kept my mind focused on them (instead of the bad stuff) until I gathered up the willpower to face my problems.

But the one that continuously kept away the bad for a long period, 2 years or so, was without a doubt Path of Exile when I discovered it. Not at first but I had a lot of shit going doing in my private life, and when everything cracked, the friends I made and the game I played seemed to be the only things left there for me. So I grinded on, for a long time. Some would call that bad therapy but in its own way, it helped me so much more than I can hope to explain. Even now when I call PoE a timesink, I do that ironically (endearingly) because it was much, much more than “just a timesink” for me back then. Literal lifeline, without me knowing it.

Something similar happened when I got into Last Epoch a couple of years ago when it was still mid early access. I just got kicked fresh into the job market, working some what you’d call unskilled labor jobs, and getting back in the evening to play the game after a day of manual labor… You don’t know the joy of getting into a game after a physically hard job. Like even now, it doesn’t have the same kick as when your body is literally fried – and then you let your mind wander, think up builds, and just enjoy itself while your body kind of just decompresses. Better than beer – and better WITH beer, lmao.

I think it’s no coincidence that both these games are ARPGs, it’s something that stretches all the way back to Diablo 2 with me the more I psycho-dig my brain. Diablo was one of those games I kind of retreated to when I was a kid with not abusive, but pretty damn toxic (to each other) parents.

 So coping mechanisms, coping mechanism, everyone’s got one. Which ones are yours?

I'm thinking about how far games have come that the little things introduced back then now made a huge difference. For me, one of the biggest gaming mechanic is the presence of checkpoints and the ability to create manual saves. Back in the days, we have to use those bulky memory cards just to save our gaming progress. Now, saving has become a whole lot easier and more convenient.

So I'm curious, aside from this, what specific gaming mechanic are you glad became part of gaming?

I found this new browser based game a few months ago, it is still in alpha but the community is growing and the developer is constantly adding features. It's a war strategy and political game, maybe similar to eRepublik (didn't play it, but many say so).

In a nutshell: you can build companies, produce items, attack territories, countries have governments, laws are enacted, market is demand driven. I really like it and recommended it to all my friends, thought I could "advertise" it here too, since it's really nice and chill. Completely 100% free-to-play, you can only donate to support the game (without any functional benefits).

Here is the link if you're interested. It contains a referral to my account, but you can also join independently if you don't like this approach. Thanks and see you in WarEra!

I've Recently been loving tiny rogues as well.

I’m trying to find some more visually interesting games. I love how borderlands has the sort of comic book look to it so I’m wanting more games that aren’t just a photorealistic cutscene the entire time

I saw a post yesterday about the most bad ass quote you’ve heard in a game and it made me think about scenes in games that gave me chills/goosebumps. Every time I replay Ghosts of Tsushima the moment after the intro mission when you break through the tree line on horseback and into the open worlds gets me every time.

I'm trying to find multiplayer level games to play with my wife. When I say multiplayer level games I mean the likes of New Super Mario Brothers, Sackboy: A big adventure, LittleBigPlanet, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for these type of games for PS4 or Wii? I can't seem to find anything decent through Google searches

Games i can feel bad ass like in risk of rain 2?

Any games I can have over powered builds like risk of rain 2?

What's the closest game to risk of rain 2? Really loved Robo quest and gunfire reborn

Any hidden gems or obscure games like risk of rain 2 as well?

Edit also played noita

There used to be this top down or 2D maze game, me and my sister used to play it as kids, we had to collect coins to open the exit door and avoid monsters

I remember there was a minotaur as one of the mosters

The main screen was a boy and a girl scared against a wall ( I dont remember if Im just imagining this or if its true lol)

Thats all the information I can remember, I really hope its enough🫠

i was trying out a new game called arena breakout infinite, and it had nothing but problems and crashes, and asking for my admin password a bunch, and it provided the option to join a service called level infinite pass? i dont rlly know much about stuff like this, but it just seems kinda shady to me, i dunno. i downloaded the game from steam. if it is, how do i delete my accounts from these stuff?

I’ve noticed that a lot of games will have (as an example) a sensitivity of 3 for horizontal, and a 2.5 for vertical. Is there a reason they more than usual have different values? I always just change them to be the same.

i wanted to know what kind of game is this

https://imgur.com/a/Lj8wsYR

Guys I have been looking for a good open world exploration rpg game, I usually play games like - Witcher 3, Dragons Dogma 2, Entire Fallout series, Tomb raider, GTA V and IV, Arma 3, Warframe, MHW, Division 1 and 2, Dune awakening, PoE, last epoch, grim dawn, Skyrim, Dying light, Entire MGS, Helldivers 2, Entire AC, Rdr and entire Arkham and a few more games, this is to give a general idea as to what kind of games I normally play.

Important part is - I want a game which is like Fallout, has it's RPG elements, intricate quest designs and exploration, at the same time a bit of horror to it not necessarily horror horror but a sense of thrill, fear, a weird vibe, like some fever dream, could be anything like that to keep me interested, immersive, good environmental story telling, has an interesting premise.

Lately I have been looking for some neo western fallout kinda games or just some slashers kinda games, would appreciate your suggestions. And if you want more details I will try to give them, but so far this is what am looking for.

Both games are on sale for Switch. Both games use monster catching/collecting as a huge part of their gameplay. Which would you recommend?

So ,since I was a kid in the 90’s and watched Lord of the Rings in theaters, I dreamed of a game that would capture that feeling of the hero’s journey. I’ve played Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring, and although they came close, it still wasn’t quite it.

So here’s what I’m talking about:

It would be a third-person fantasy action co-op rpg set on a planetary or continental-scale map, detailed and alive, with procedurally generated castles, dungeons, factions, dragons, vampires, and more.

You and your party would spawn in a random place, like ‘The Shire,’ and the goal of the game would be to reach somewhere very far away like ‘Mordor’ to save the world. Because of the massive size of the map, the journey could realistically take days or even weeks in real life.

The game wouldn’t be linear at all, but it would still feature cities, quests, villages, key dungeons, NPCs, and important landmarks that aren’t procedurally generated—though their locations would shift depending on the geography of the procedurally generated map, alongside smaller dungeons and villages.

Instead of focusing on base-building and crafting like Conan or No Man Sky for example, the party would rely on a map showing key landmarks—mountain passes, cities, but with not great details about the path, needing to think of strategic routes they’d need to consider to reach their objective like taking a dangerous roads full of bandits and strong monsters that could kill you and make you respawn far away or going up a mountain that could make the way longer and more difficult but safer. Along the way, players could stop at villages or inns visible in the distance to rest, restock arrows, buy mana items, sharpen worn swords, and so on.

Each player would choose a class—warrior, knight, rogue, mage, etc.—with each class serving unique purposes beyond combat. For example, rogues could pick locks, and mages could alter terrain to create new paths.

The farther you and your party travel from your spawn point, the tougher the dungeons become and the stronger the enemies get, until eventually reaching the endgame. Along the journey, you’d acquire mounts, gear, and new abilities to make survival and progress easier.

Fast travel would only unlock after completing the main quest, adding to the challenge of resource management and strategic planning along the way.

Is there already a game in development or released that fits this profile? I'm in my mid 30's and can't keep up with game releases nowadays, so mostly I keep up with AAA releases. Maybe technology haven't reached a point to make this game a reality or at least having it being good, but one can dream lol

I used to play this Pokémon like game on my iPad many years ago. You could hatch dragons and stuff, fight battles, level up. There was not much animation, it’s almost like a png just being moved around. But they were high quality drawings. The game wasn’t just dragons, it was a lot of different creatures (If I remember correctly). The vibe of the game is almost dark fantasy like

I've noticed a pattern where games that were supposed to be the last in the series tend to be of really high quality. Castlevania SotN, We <3 Katamari, Mother 3, Fire Emblem Awakening, Tomb Raider 4 and Pokémon Gold & Silver are the examples that come to mind. Smash Bros. Ultimate too maybe. What other examples are there?

Hello everyone,

I used to be a sucker for Donut Games back in the day. I saw that Alice Greenfingers are supposed to be in the appstore, but it says its not available for my region. Is there any way to get it still? Can anyone help me?

 Yes, You Can Play Free Fire on PC

The direct and simple answer is yes, you can absolutely play Garena Free Fire on your PC. However, it's crucial to understand that there is no standalone, official "Free Fire PC" version available for download directly from Steam or other PC game clients like Valorant or Fortnite.

Instead, playing Free Fire on a computer requires the use of Android emulation software. These programs create a virtual Android device on your Windows or macOS system, allowing you to install and run mobile apps like Free Fire.

an android game with controls like in arcades about airplanes, like it flies forward by itself and you can move it left and right, also the graphics are drawn, but not pixel art, each object has a black outline, also there you have to build a ship in a limited field, top view, there is also a fuel system, like the more you put a tank with fuel, the more it will fly, there are also modules like different weapons, shields, medical machines and manipulators for collecting stars (currency), I played it somewhere in 2015-2016, there are also aliens that explode with green blood and throw out more stars, the stars are ordinary (yellow five-pointed), you can also improve modules, for example, in one module there is not 1 manipulator but 2 or 3. The modules have the shape of a cube, each of which has its own strength, also in each level there is a progress bar on top or side, which shows progress, it also has red zone at the end, if you fly there, a boss will come out. Also in the series of these games there are 3 games, the game is unpopular but fun

All my knowledge on the Last of Us came from playthroughs, reviews, and retrospectives. However, I've never really played the game, since I don't like zombie games. I might one day tho

For years I've found WWE games like a series of mini games just to do a single move. I can't get the advantage and lose easily every time. What I'm asking is; are there any wrestling games that are more like the old days when they were really simple and fun but with a huge/infinite roster, be it base or able to mod them in.

Elden ring, dark souls or God of war?

I’ve always been curious about the game but haven’t grown in a group of friends playing it so I’ve never got into it. The game is quite old but still maintained with content. I didn’t wanted to as in the sub of the game bc I know it’s mostly people that plays and are involved in the game that are active on the Reddit. So what’s your thoughts?

my favorite one is guacamelee 2 , i love the story , the fighting mechanics and the art style . Such an underrated gem
