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 gamer.
Here is a list of games that I’ve played before and that I liked (in no particular order):
- The Stanley Parable

Here are games I would like to avoid:
- Battle Royale / Deathmatch- style games (Fortnite, PUBG, etc.)
- MOBAs (League of Legends, Mobile Legends, etc.)
- Hero shooters (Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege, etc.)
- Games with fantasy-based elements (Skyrim, The Witcher, Souls games etc.)
- RPGs
- Side-scrollers / Shoot-em-ups / Top-down games
- Platformers
- Horror/supernatural games (Resident Evil, Silent Hill, etc.)
- Management games (Civilization, Cities: Skylines, etc.)
- Artillery games
- Outer-space/post-apocalyptic games (Halo, Fallout, etc.)
- Cookie clickers / Walking simulators

- Game adaptations of existing media (Star Wars games, Arkham games, etc.)
- Board/card/gambling/collectible/gacha games\
- Games that have microtransactions/required DLCs
- Text adventures / Visual novels
- Trivia games
- VR games
Other than that, everything is fair game. I don’t have any aversion towards graphic language/gore/sex.
My tastes might be too specific, but I hope someone here may be able to provide me with a recommendation!
Seems interesting, even though it has space/fantasy elements, it looks more like an outdoor survival game. I’ll try to check it out.
It’s not really a survival game. More of an exploration puzzle game. It doesn’t explicitly tell you where to go or what to do. You’re pretty much on your own to find clues and figure out what happened and how to end the time loop you’re stuck in. It really is a fascinating game. I haven’t played anything else quite like it.
It’s supposed to work on mobile without vr, maybe there’s a non vr version?
There is definitely a non vr version lol. You can play it on PC or consoles with a controller.
Edit: oh heck, I think your response is showing up to the wrong comment, sorry, disregard!
