I recently finished The Last of Us 2. My girlfriend sometimes watches me play my games. And while I thought that TLoU would be a great game to follow, it was hard for her to watch (due to the violence). I wonder if there is a game that would be easy or even interesting for her to watch while I play, without it having to be...

Since the normies are starting to do their GotY thing....

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old....

I have tried a ton of RPGs, and most just don’t click for me. Here are a few:...

Share your unfiltered, unpopular gaming opinions and let’s dive into some real discussions. If you come across a view you disagree with, feel free to (respectfully) defend your perspective. I don’t want to see anyone say stuff like “we’re all entitled to our own opinions.” Let’s pretend like gaming is a science and...

In Costume Quest, you play as one of two fraternal twins who go out to trick-or-treat, but then your sibling gets kidnapped by monsters and you go on a quest to rescue them. Along the way, you collect new costumes (which give you new abilities), get friends to join you on your quest, and collect power ups....

FF Origin? Lies of P is still full price, Lords of Fallen has some bad reviews, Remnant 2 was good but badly optimised so I can’t run it....

I am fascinated by games with 2D art that still manage to give you a good scare. I guess what I find interesting is if a game can manage to translate the scares and audio design which we know from 3D environments and movies. I have never really played any though. I would love to hear some suggestions, especially with Halloween...

I hang out in a couple circles that have fans of Gust’s massive Atelier series. The promise of a laid-back, generally cheerful experience always sounded appealing and a nice change of pace from the typical RPG story’s apocalyptic stakes. I’ve also always liked crafting systems in these kinds of games. I just needed a good...

A few years back I tried to play this on PS4 (it was a free PS+ game at one point). I didn’t give it much of a chance, and my subscription ended before I got round to finishing it. But boy am I glad I gave it another go! What a great game....

The other week I played through the original Dead Space, and I’ve now followed that up with the well-regarded sequel....

So it was around 2016 when I started to feel like I was in a rut when it came to gaming. There was a lot going on with games as service type models, and I just wasn’t excited about anything related to gaming....

What games of older generations would you put up? i dont mind the genre really, id would just love to hear yalls suggestions.

I thought at first that I was looking for Artist Idle, but that game doesn’t contain any mention of computer parts. (I specifically remember there being a water clock upgrade, to start automatic pixel production, among others.)...

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned....

I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!...

I’m a casual gamer who’s been largely inactive for the past few decades, and so I’m looking for some some good game recommendations. I don’t mind if they’re old as long as they came out after 2003 (because that’s when graphics of many games really started improving), maybe between 2008-2019. I’m also quite a picky...

I’ve been playing a lot of inscryption and while kaycee’s mod is fun, it can get a little boring after a while. Is there anything that will scratch that itch? (that’s not magic the gathering, too predatory)....

I’ve always been familiar with Quake, but only as a multiplayer game. I’ve played a lot of arena shooters (I’m more of an Unreal Tournament fan), but for whatever reason I never got around to playing the real Quake. I didn’t really expect much considering how badly DOOM has aged, especially in terms of level design and...

We all have that one game that holds a special place in our hearts. What game is it for you?...

I eventually got round to playing this! I had the 2008 version on Steam, so I thought I’d give it a go instead of the recent remake. Note: if you’re playing on Steam Deck, I’d recommend messing with the joystick deadzones for a smoother experience....

I struggled with Samus Returns and the Prime games weren’t my vibe, so I have to go back a long way for great Metroid. After seeing good reviews and a lot of positive word-of-mouth for Metroid Dread, it was near the top of my list of games to play when I’d finally pick up a Switch....
