Video Game Suggestions

A place to find suggestions for video games! For example, you might create a post looking for recommendations for a game to play with a friend, or a game that is easy to play if you just broke your dominant hand. Or you might post a list of games that let you use a whip as a weapon. A lot of rules for conduct here are pretty obvious (don't be a jerk, stay on-topic) so I'll bold the weird ones.

Rules

Please stay on-topic: post requests for games that match some criteria you specify, lists of games with a certain element, or something otherwise relevant to helping people find games that match certain criteria.
- If you're looking to find the name of a particular game or video game series you forgot, you should go to !TipOfMyJoystick@retrolemmy.com. This community is for fielding suggestions for games, not for finding one specific video game.
- If you're making a post that is suggesting games, it should be a list of games. This is partially to help prevent the community from being overrun by people just suggesting their favorite game, and devs suggesting you play their latest game. This is about posts, not comments. It's okay to comment on a post asking for gaming suggestions with just one game.
Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
When advertising something you have worked on, please use common sense for what is spammy. Self-promotion isn't totally banned: if someone asked for an RPG where you can play a lich, and the game you worked on is an RPG where you can play a lich, you can definitely answer with your RPG. I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.
Please indicate spoilers when necessary. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.

Looking for good turn based games (lemmy.zip)

Turn based games tended to be something I sort of stopped getting into as I got older. Despite really enjoying games that involve tons of strategy and thought like Hitman or 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, I struggled more with games that are turn based. I've tried to get back into them with stuff like Pokemon and the occasional board game sim that I play with my friends, but I just know there's games out there I'd like a lot more.

I do want to give Fire Emblem, Bug Fables, and Sea of Stars a try at some point soon. Was just wondering if there's anything else I'm missing.

Haven't had much time to play games, but those I played over the years, enjoyed and would recommend:

Bravely Default & Bravely Second (both for the 3DS)
Child of Light (afaik all versions are the same, aside from DRMs included)
Coromon (played on Steam / also on GOG, EGS, Switch 1, Google Play and ITunes for the IOS - it's Pokemon if you don't want to give Game Freak money)
Deeper Down Dungeons (Android from Google Play / Windows version on Itchio should be the same)
Final Fantasy II (PSP version - also most feature-complete version afaik)
Final Fantasy VI (SNES version but afaik most versions are mostly the same)
Final Fantasy VII (2013 PC version / PS1, Win98 & Android versions are mostly the same afaik)
Final Fantasy X (played all but the PS4 version - can be grindy and repetitive if you go for optionals, though)
Final Fantasy X-2 (also played most versions - also weaker than X, but still decent, me thinks)
Final Fantasy XII (also most versions played; does it count as turn-based though? Also while not as repetitive as X, it can be far longer)
LiEat (English on Steam and Japanese version on Booth as freeware - feels like what RPG Maker games often try to be, but decent instead; also not a RPG Maker game just in case someone gets confused)
Mary Skelter trilogy (all on Steam, first 2-ish on GOG, Mary Skelter Nightmares has an older version as a separated purchase and a remade version as an unlockable game in Mary Skelter 2, and all games are somewhere between horror, grid-based first person dungeon crawler, turn-based RPG, visual novel and on a lesser degree the further the series went, ecchi)
Parasite Eve (PS1 - sequel to a Japanese horror book with the same name, though what's important is explained in-game, and if you don't want spoilers for the book, you can find the Kindle version on Amazon JP as パラサイト・イヴ)
Persona 3 FES (PS2 - harder than the PSP version but more content-complete; still have to play the recent remake)
Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita / Steam - 2nd weakest plot-wise imo, losing only for Persona 4 Arena, but fun gameplay loop)
Persona 5 (PS3 / PS4 - story feels kinda juvenile but not as bad as P4G, and art/gameplay loop/game flow make up for it, me thinks)
Quest of Dungeons (Android & PC versions are on several places; roguelike and little to no plot though)
