Stealth & strategy open-world like games like Ghost Recon, RDR 2, GTA V and also the upcoming Death Stranding sounds promising.
What Are Your Favorite Video Game Genres?
- Thread starter Little Red Wagon Repairman
- Start date
my favourite game is shooting and racing..
Strategy - faction/society simulator ~ Alpha centauri vanilla, pre-expansion.. although expansion is alright on its own, the game has been nerfed and rebalanced too much, IMO.
Strategy - turn based/historical ~ Romance of, Nobunaga, Hearts of Iron, etc etc. For those times when you want to be bored... micromanage EVERYTHING and be the dictator you truly are. Strategy.
strategy - tactics/SUPER detailed, SUPER grindy games ~ Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea at the top of the scale.
Persona games on DS, FFT A2, GEMFIRE! or FF12 revenant wings for lower impact... easygoing stuff.
Management games ~ entrepreneur, KAIROsoft games like game designer story, ninja village, etc, Aerobiz supersonic.
Real life simulators. You dont have a goal. The sky is the limit. You are dropped into the world and when you walk around you could find a glass cup, or a scrap of paper or some good guys.. so on.
Kenshi, Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead (Use a tileset like chesthole and be aware you ARE NOT supposed to survive... but the first 20-50 tries are there to teach you how to actually play teh game. Fuck tutorials. ),
Rise to Ruins, Rimworld (Those weird assed real life sims that look like carbon copies of that prison tycoon game.)
Super, SUPER casual games. Spades, minecraft, etc. games I dont mind playing after I took my sleeping pill and waiting for the lids to get heavy.
and I guess... those 'freemium' games that I have to keep coming back to actually get something done over time, cuz the world isnt going to solve itself by playing an hour here, half hour there, or five minutes during a trip. Fallout shelter, Rebuild 3, etc. Casual enough to pick up, addictive enough to stay for awhile... but nothing full-featured, story-heavy or anything.

My favorite genres: Racing, role playing, beatemup, open-world, metroid-vania, and shooters (single player).
I've taken to casual games since the pandemic has made work so busy. I haven't had the time to be able to binge or sit down for hours, I need something I can just play for like 30 min a day and just relax. I know, I'm becoming a "filthy casual", but these days I just don't have the time or energy to "git gud" enough to keep up with the regulars.

I don't know what the genra is called but I got back into games (free time) not long ago, and I took some rec for Shadow of the colossus, and that was more like Zelda, etc (much cooler than I mean old Zelda), different and good music. Or like Myst (I didn't play it but everyone I knew did, so I saw it a lot). Slower paced I guess.
