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.

First person games with great architecture (feddit.org)

The title basically says it all: I'm looking for games with first person perspective that have interesting architecture, preferrably modern or scifi, but historical or fantasy is fine too. The genre isn't important, neither is the quality of the game, as long as it's playable.

An example for this is P.A.M.E.L.A. It's as if the game was an afterthought (and the gameplay definitely feels like an afterthought) and the main goal was to create a plausible scifi city, down to the realistic amount of toilets.

Another one would be the VR game Ghost Town, which had fascinating recreations of Trellick Tower in London.

Are there any more? The more obscure, the better.

The architecture was just about the only thing I think The Talos Principle 2 improved over the original. It's a 3D navigation puzzle game, but where the original used ruin assets that were heavily repeated (still creating a beautiful melancholy atmosphere in the process), the sequel has great architecture in several different architectural styles.

The story and its in-game social media features ruined it for me, and the architecture is monumental/artistic rather than practical, but maybe it's worth checking out.

Bioshock might also qualify, exploring a ruined art deco city built on the bottom of an ocean. Its story is also good. Prey (2017) may also be worth checking out. Like Bioshock, it's exploring an art deco setting, this time a semi-realistic attempt at a space station, with artificial gravity in some sections and not in others.

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but Mirror's Edge (2008) also makes gorgeous use of brutal/industrial spaces, with its parkour gameplay getting you to engage with it in interesting ways.
