Video Game Suggestions

336 readers

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

  1. 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.
  2. Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
  3. Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
Spoilers for SomeGameSomething that happened at the end of the game! Something else that happened at the end of the game!

will appear as

Spoilers for SomeGameSomething that happened at the end of the game!

Something else that happened at the end of the game!

Not Rules

Magazine/community icon is the Apple video game emoji and green checkmark emoji for now. Suggestions for a replacement are very welcome.

Not specific, just want to know if this even exists: a city clearing zombie game

Has anyone made a zombie game where you actually clear/retake an infested city? Lots of games have you raid a city to build a base somewhere else, (7D2D, unturned, now Vein, etc.) or just do things in an infested city (Dying Light, RE, etc.) sometimes culminating in some sort of big climax that results in or implies the end of the zombie times, or maybe you just leave, but are there any that have that element of progression where you slowly take more of the map and the zombies aren't just randomly spawned in a radius around the player regardless of how many you knock down? The closest I have ever found was an old flash game from when those were a thing, based around worker placement and resource management.

Middle of the 30% section - What do you mean Soandso disappeared after coming back from the mission with a possible bite? Why is there an alarm going off?

During the 'final 50%' - What do you mean there was an unchecked root cellar in the area where we just set up the orphanage? How many child zombies? So, how many sections are now possibly infected on the wrong side of the wall?

Honestly, with Frostpunk kinds of despair vibes, that would kick ass.

It could make for a real emotional rollercoaster. Yay, we cleared the first full neighborhood! Shit, we started a fire and it took out three blocks of possible stuff and a mile long section of our wall! Yay, we found an enclave of survivors. Shit, they're cannibals! Yay, we finally captured all but one burrough. Shit, the first neighborhood we captured let in what they thought were more reinforcements from HQ, but they were hit on the way and have no equipment, food, or supplies, just a lot of worrying wounds.
