dark souls 2 but good
A soulslike with strong plot and rpg elements that's not an action game that you need to dodge sometimes.
How is it a soulslike if it isn't an action game?
Superhot with level editor
A classic first-person dungeon crawler, but co-op and with a classless skill-based system.
Games like Ultima Underworld, Arena, Daggerfall, Descent to Undermountain, Battlespire, Arx Fatalis... those games are my jam, and they have basically died off. My favorite RPG systems also tend to be skill-based rather than class-based, and Asheron's Call (the original) had one of my favorite systems. I'm also all about co-op these days... so I want a co-op dungeon crawler with a skill-based system that looks and feels modern, like a natural evolution of those classics. And it has to be more than a hack-and-slash... it needs to have the depth and immersion of tabletop dungeon crawlers.
I've actually been working on it for a while now in UE. It's purely a hobby/passion project, so who knows if I'll ever have something to distribute... but since nobody else has been bothered to make it*, I will.
- Barony is closest, but it's too deliberately old-school for my tastes... and Dark & Darker is a little too repetitive and undermined by the PvP.
A rapid fire, action point based tactical MMORPG.
Like 5 to 10 seconds for a turn, everyone lodges their turns and over the next 10 seconds the characters play out their actions with complex complications for unplanned conflicts. Like a guy running though someone elses thrown grenade or two guys trying to run through the same doorway.
Bioshock 4, but with Ken Levine back at the helm.
If you haven’t played it, I strongly suggest Prey 2017.
If you have played it, what would you specifically look for in a Bioshock 4 that Prey didn’t have?
An open-world game made by actual satellite mapping in 3D of the entire Globe, so you not only can virtually in-game visit replica's of friends' places across the world, but also find your own house in your own city with orientation of the direct surroundings coming naturally to you. Should be decently interactive enough not to just be a gimmick that bores easily, but some GTA-style thing maybe, that allows you to keep yourself busy virtually doing things while either being in a instinctively familiar environment, or to discover new spots and places that will actually be there irl then too, expanding your actual real-life world horizons while gaming. 😅
Been something I wished existed ever since SecondLife started and was explained to kid me... The few times I tried SecondLife however have been nothing but disappointing, cause I obviously already expected a whole lot more from that than was even possible at the time. 😅
Lord of the Rings Conquest without the stupid magic, without the stupid fire effects and with combat that doesn't suck.
Also Lord of the Rings Total War but you can argue that it sort of exists through mods
A FPS packed with Myst-like puzzles and atmosphere
Star Wars Clone Wars, but CoD mobile style.
More arcade style multiplayer hack and slash RPG stuff in the spirit of gauntlet dark legacy or even something that stretches the concept like Armada 2 and makes it a space-based drop-in drop out multiplayer free-for-all frenzy that's just for fun.
Something like Retro Game Challenge, but for Western games. The idea behind Retro Game Challenge is that you play clones of NES games with achievement challenges to "advance" the story, as clones of games in the style of later NES games would come out. It had clones of games like Ninja Gaiden, Galaga, Dragon Quest. It also had game magazines written much like those of the time. The whole thing is a nostalgia trip.
In this case, it probably would have to be PC games. It could even have a cute minigame where you unbox and drop in your first 3D card.
Closest thing I've seen to it has been Arcade Paradise, but the games (along with the rest of the gameplay) weren't as good in that one. They also weren't all retro-inspired, as there's clones of match-3 games and Vampire Survivors.
