Games as good as SWTOR?

• Upvotes

I have been playing SWTOR for about 2 weeks now, and I’m honestly hooked. The world, music, characters, story, and overall atmosphere have completely sucked me in, and I’m loving every second of it.

I’m trying to find other games that give you that same feeling of getting lost in a world and always having something to work toward. I love the story and immersion, but I also really enjoy the progression, grinding, exploring, and feeling like there’s always something new to discover.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be another MMO, and I’m open to both older and newer games. I’m also a huge sci-fi fan, which is probably part of why SWTOR has clicked with me so much.

What games have pulled you in the way SWTOR has? Whether it’s the world, story, characters, progression, or just the overall feeling of playing, I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Is there a game that has a perfect combination of great story, great combat, and great world?

Curious to see what people think. I love games like Elden Ring, Witcher 3, cyberpunk. Wukong, etc but think they all excel in at least 2 of these instead of all 3

Chill building game

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a game on Steam where I can build whatever I want and let my creativity run wild. It could be building an entire city, designing a cozy house, running a hotel, creating a huge resort, or pretty much anything else.

I'm looking for something with tons of creative freedom and insane replay value — a game I can keep coming back to for hundreds or even thousands of hours without getting bored.

Most importantly, I want something chill and relaxing that I can play at my own pace, unwind, and just enjoy the process of creating stuff without feeling rushed or stressed.

I'm open to pretty much any genre, whether it's a city builder, sandbox, simulation game, or something more niche. Graphics are a plus, but creative freedom and long-term replayability are what I'm really after.

Thanks guys!

Which one should I choose: My Time at Sandrock, My Time at Portia, or Go-Go Town!?

I'm looking for a cozy game that I can sink a lot of hours into without getting bored too quickly. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how these games compare in terms of gameplay variety, progression, replayability, and long-term enjoyment.

Which one do you think offers the most satisfying gameplay loop and the most content for the money? I'd also love to know which one you'd personally recommend and why.

Thanks, guys!

Why are there so many indie games named "Cinderwake" released this month?

0 Upvotes

As someone who enjoys indie games, I've been keeping an close eye on steam's next fest and recent itch.io releases.

To my surprise, there are five games all named "Cinderwake" released spanning different genres, ranging from adventure rpg, to roguelite, to first person shooter, to deck builder.

Am I missing something here?

✔ Answered Unrailed 2

1 Upvotes

The game looks really cute, and I’m kinda interested in it, but I’m wondering if Unrailed 2 is actually worth the money. For those of you who’ve played it, how much fun is it in the long run? Does it get repetitive after a while, or does it have enough content and replayability to keep you coming back?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Name a game genre that is often confusing?

For me it is post apocalypse and scientific horror. They are similar but one major difference one is there is an oasis of hell(sh) and the other there is oasis of life(pa)

What’s your favorite extraction shooter and why?

0 Upvotes

I’m curious what everyone’s favorite extraction shooter is right now and what makes it stand out from the rest.

I’m talking about actual extraction shooters, not just games with similar mechanics. Games like:

Escape from Tarkov
ARC Raiders
Marathon
Active Matter
Gray Zone Warfare
Arena Breakout: Infinite
Hunt: Showdown 1896
Delta Force (Operations mode)

Personally, I think what makes this genre so good is the risk of losing your gear, finding valuable loot, getting into unexpected fights, and that feeling of relief when you finally make it out alive.

I’m interested in what everyone thinks does it best. Is it the gunplay, the maps, the progression, the PvP/PvE, the atmosphere, or just the overall gameplay loop?

Also, which one do you think is the most fun to play solo versus with friends?

And just to be clear, I’m not talking about games like Witchfire or Far Far West just because they have some similar mechanics. I mean games where the extraction loop is actually the core of the experience.
If you had to pick just one extraction shooter as your favorite, which would it be, and why?

Every year since maybe 2012 I've played Condemned Criminal Origins on the week of day of Halloween. I also tend to do a replay of most of the Resident Evil games during October too, just wanted to see if anyone else has some habits like that?

My friend and I discussed the fact that his brother is searching for a good ant game to his liking and he didn’t find any, even after playing 7 different ones. So we thought we’d ask if other people are also searching for one. If so, we would start to make one.
