Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

Favourites

Witcher 3

Witcher 3 was one of the first "big games" I got to experience. I still think of the characters occasionally and it has some very memorable quests. It's been on my "to replay" list for a while to see if it still holds up against my memories of it.

Nier: Automata

This is another early "big game" I played, though I didn't finish it then. I won't spoil it, but at some point I was up against a boss, way under levelled and didn't feel like grinding. However I started a new playthrough this year, got further along and it's still very good. The story telling and world building are simply excellent, combat is fun (except a certain section I won't spoil) and I really want to see what else happens in my current play through. My only gripe is that keyboard & mouse sucks without an overhaul mode, which unfortunately doesn't work on Linux.

Other games

I couldn't think of a third game, so here's a list of other good games that don't quite make it.

  • Cyberpunk 2077: I like it, but it hasn't really had as much of an impact as my two favourites.
  • Baldur's Gate 3: Very good contender for my 3rd favourite spot, but I need to play through it a bunch more times.
  • Dishonored: I haven't thought of this game in a while. It's still very good, just not a contender for favourite.
  • Skyrim: One of my higher playtime games, but I see it more as a modded sandbox à la Minecraft that's fun for 2 weeks.
  • Receiver 2: Very neat gun mechanics with an important central message
  • 1000xResist: Interesting story and message, though you won't play this for the gameplay. Some awe inspiring visuals occasionally
