ledalavandula Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I got into video games at the beginning of the pandemic but fell off as my workload got out of control. I've been wanting to pick up gaming again and am looking for recommendations! The game that drew me in the most was Kentucky Route Zero. I also enjoyed Night in the Woods (although I never finished it lol), Gone Home, and Dear Esther (although it also creeped me the fuck out). When I was a kid I loved playing Spyro! Would also love simple fantasy games like that. More recently I played Zork and then stopped playing to try to learn Python to make my own game, which I also gave up on lmao. I'm not awesome at solo activities/hobbies, but I really want a hobby that stimulates the fantasy loving part of my brain! Tldr: Looking for fantasy/sci fi games that are heavier on narrative than graphics. I have Steam and a Mac and may one day take the plunge to get a real counsel but I'm not there yet 👾 pmd77, JessieMidKnight and Freiberga 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Steam and a Mac and may one day take the plunge to get a real counsel but I'm not there yet 👾 Well if you don't mind older graphics and a bit of rpg mechanics fallout2 is a solid sci-fi choice theres a ton of solid total conversion mods for so you get like 6 games for the price of one that are heavy on plot. In a similar vein there's planescape torment and never winter nights 2 the first is considered one of the best games of all time for a while and the latter if you get the complete version comes with the modding tools so you can play around with making your own in addition to like 10k hours in fan made expansions. The cat lady and the void are sure to hit the spot if you want something more scary and fantastical. And if you like spyro have you played conquers bad fur day? ledalavandula 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
