I used to really love gaming, but my interests have sharply changed in the last decade, and honestly I can barely manage to conjure up the desire to finish anything. Maybe I’m mentally ill IDK. I really liked playing Fez over the last year or so, and that’s it. Nothing else has really grabbed me (I did finish Journey and the Ori sequel though). Over the last year I’ve tried: Far Cry 1, Puzzle Quest, Faster than Light, and Cluster Truck. I really need help rekindling this once burning flame, or the embers will die out.
I used to fucking love RTS when I was a kid, Starcraft, Rome Total War, and Rise of Nations specifically. I think I own both of what you suggested, so maybe I should check that? IDK my mental health isn’t great RN, so please forgive me for asking what I know is a dumb question. I’m trying to keep my mind occupied
Hollow Knight. Crazy cheap for amount of content. One of my all times
I tried Hollow Knight a couple times, but everything seems so needlessly difficult, I usually like games like that too. Do you have a suggestion similar to HK that won’t just punish me for playing?
Yeah, the combat can be unforgiving. Once you get the hang, it’s manageable. Ori and the blind forest was good, too
I loved the first Ori. The sequel is meh. I’ll try HK again because you mentioned it though.
Dead Cells is pretty good if you want more combat oriented. If you want a more chill experience the first Ori and Owlboy are neat.
tetris, mahjong, and pokemon are fun to play without thinking, have some depths to explore if you feel like it, free to play online, and require little effort (minus tetris idk)
I usually incorporate a gacha routine in my day to day life, rolling on a banner gives a little spark in the brain at least once a week, whichis cool, currently playing arknights with an emulator, a tower defense. again, free(2p), with some depths, but no gamer moves required,
recently bought raji on the switch, it seemed dope, it’s like an indian tale with minimal gameplay afaik , but I’m like 1hour in, I think it would fit what you’re asking for idk
I tried FTL, and it seems fun. I just can’t do the whole permadeath thing.
Disco Elysium is a great leftist RPG. The Chapo hosts are voice actors in it
