Actually fun and good games?

[Solomon]

So, I've been struggling for years to find games I genuinely enjoy.

Both portal games were fantastic. I really enjoyed L4D2, Diablo III and Overwatch. I still play them from time to time, but they're getting long in the tooth.

I've played PoE, but it's grown tedious.. Torchlight II was okay as well-ish.

The first two Borderlands games weren't bad. Warframe was good for a time. The Vermintide games were just okay. Same with Deep Rock Galactic.

Nothing I've played has really compared to Overwatch. Siege is meh (pixel peak advantage bs). Apex Legends is meh. Nothing else really appeals...

I played Titanfall 2 (great campaign) and both Doom games (2016 good, eternal yuck!).

Most recently I picked up Outriders and that is a dumpster fire of a game.

Any recommendations?

You might like Shadow Warrior 2 based on other things you like, but you probably won't be overwhelmed by it either.

My suggestion would be to buy only games on sale...otherwise a lot of money can be wasted getting games out of the trash heap called Steam.

Already own it. Never finished it. It was kinda tedious and unengaging.

I think one of my biggest problems is that most games turn into unengaging chores after a while... even Vanquish and Transistor turned into abandoned games...

Trolling much? Those games are frustration made manifest.

Thanks, I shall have to examine that thread... Still not sure why you recommended dark souls though...

Also, are you named after squirrel girl?

Since I've lost my mind-reading ball cap sometime ago, I usually give out my own opinions, my own suggestions and stuff like drawing out my own point-of-view things 🤔

Like most peeps, I'm lacking in the predictive prophecy dept., but I do well in assumptions.
I share what games I've played and like, hence [Echo] Dark Souls Souls Remastered [/echo]

Squirrel?
What's that? 🙀🐿🦄

Would you say you most enjoy team class-based shooters with large worlds, or at least some map variety, and large loot pools?

You could try Destiny 2 if you haven't yet, it wasn't my cup of tea but at least it's free to try (with most content locked behind paid DLC, though).

If you like Blizzard games youd probably like Dota2 since its a standalone sequel of what once was Warcraft 3 mod. Plus, the game is free.

Oof... I tried it once. The community around that game is both harsh and hardcore...

@Solomon (from your response to my previous post):

Thanks for the kind words.

I don't necessarily agree with you about the getting older and growing out of games exactly. I mean, it's honest to be introspective and assume you're losing touch. But I feel it may be the other way round in this instance.

I've too been going off games a bit. I still have just as much fun with them, and play almost as much (health permitting) but this last generation was rather disappointing and I'm REALLY not got any impetus for this current one at this point.

The industry is moving to ever more stupid anti-consumer practices, or at least shareholder driven practices and "♥♥♥♥ the consumer" attitudes. That's never a good thing, especially with artisitc stuff.

All I can recommend is what I've said before, but widen your range a bit. The reason I found out it wasn't me losing taste was that I simply started going back through my older games and playing those I hadn't touched yet. I've been having a blast.

You're most welcome, and I completely agree about your comments on the industry!

I think I've become afflicted with low-frustration tolerance to be honest. That and I want to be immersed in a game, but simply do not have that kind of time... I probably should like into some of those RPGs you mentioned though. I loved the original Baldur's Gates way back . . .

Well, if the worst comes to the worst and the modern publishers take their greed onwards, it might be time to hang all the modern stuff and look backwards.

As someone who plays on as many platforms as possible, I always say my "sweet spot" or golden age was the PS2 era. If you wanted to now, you could still pick up a clean, working PS2 dirt cheap (around $50 iirc) and the games are similarly available and cheap too on the whole.

You can obviouly go further from that , like PS3, Xbox 360 and so on, but that's just my opinion of the best place to start. Great bang for buck.

Dead Space games are fun, esp 1 and 2. 3 is also good but not as much as the first two.

Those games are just so damn immersive, the combination of the silent protagonist and the suit. Stellar sound design and atmospheric elements and really great combat with a neat Limb Targeting system, cool af weapons, inventive physics-based gravity puzzles. If you liked DOOM and Portal, I think you would appreciate Dead Space.

It's very easy to imagine yourself in the game, trapped in that damn ship with those gangly looking freaks trying to eat your face.
