Hey GAF, recently I hit a game slump. I want to game again. Recommend me any games to get me back into the flow of gaming please

 

[nominedomine]

Have you heard of Elden Ring?

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[SappYoda]

Vampire Survivors.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Elden ring.

 

[chaseroni]

Metroid Dread

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Vampire Survivors.

What's this?

 

[Havoc2049]

What genres do you know you like and which ones do you know you dislike?

 

[Sub_Level]

Can you be a little more specific?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

What's this?

$3 Castlevania-inspired roguelite where all you do is move (all moves trigger automatically on cooldown). It's unbelievably addictive, best $3 I ever spent on gaming.

Castlevania eh? Funny as I recently got to the final boss of Curse of the Moon so this might be similar

 

[Plantoid]

Ori and the will of the whisps

Elden ring

Forza horizon 5

Resident evil village

Immortals fenyx rising

 

[Guilty_AI]

Elden Ring

 

[Punished Miku]

Need some info on your tastes, and what kind of game you want, and why you got in the slump in the first place.

Game uses similar sprites to the old castlevania games, but that's where the similarities end.

Another vote for Vampire Survivors, it's great and just pure fun.

I like old school games. Things like survival horror, hack n slash, action platformers, run n gun. I want to play something fresh, new. What got me into the slump is that I played too much RE4 Mercenaries VR and got burned out

I see. That's a very recent slump then! Hmmm.

Maybe I'll try it then

I guess I'll throw in another vote for Metroid Dread if you haven't played it. Was my GOTY last year. Near flawless pacing. One of the best action games I've ever played.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Metal Gear Rising if you are into action.
F-Zero X if you want some fast paced racing with cool music.
Dragon's Dogma if you want an open world ARPG like no other. Kinda fits into the hack'n'slash category.
Persona 5 if you want to get into JRPG. If you are already into JRPGs, try SMT III, IV or V.

old school games... hack n slash, action platformers, run n gun

Play Alien Soldier if you haven't already. Game it's kinda hard to get into, but once you have it dominated it's a hell lot of fun.

I want to play something fresh, new

I really liked Factorio when I played it. You basically have to design a factory and get the fuck out the planet by building a rocket. Took me 40 hours of playtime, and all of those were fun.

I think I'll restart it, as I really enjoyed it until I got stuck

 

[Punished Miku]

The Ascent is also a great game for run and gun old school shooting action. Seems divisive for some reason I can't grasp. I loved it.

I've been meaning to get a catridge of F Zero X.

Beat Rising, but it seems like a good candidate to replay because haven't played it in a while.

Alien Soldier I liked the idea, but something about the controls didn't click with me. Reminds me of Pulseman. That game was pretty good from what I remember.

Factorio, is it on Steam? If so I'll wishlist it

 

[EverydayBeast]

I don't think a game like elder scrolls or elden ring is a piece of cake, I think sport games do a great job of difficulty than let a AAA game like Uncharted to take over your imagination.

Sekiro, it's FROM's take on action game but at same time its not similar to games like Bayonetta or DMC.

 

[I Master l]

Guardians of the Galaxy

I get what you mean . I started it but didn't click yet. Another FROM game I like but suck at is Bloodborne...too bad I gave the PS4 Slim to younger brother. PC port when

Rising is a great game to replay. Short, fun and specially great if you don't remember everything from the last playthrough.

Alien Soldier has weird controls... it allows you to do a lot of stuff with just a dpad and three buttons. You'll probably have better games to play, but if you ever want a challenging 16bit arcade like game, give it a go. My advice is to spend some time on the training screen practicing the movements.

Factorio is on Steam yeah. Never goes for sale, and the dev would prefer for you to pirate his game rather than buying from some key reseller.

 

[Danjin44]

Also if you own Switch play these two games.

Luigi's Mansion 3

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

These two games are not overly difficult but super fun and they are not that long.

Oh snap forgot about Kirby and the Forgotten Land >.<

 

[Jooxed]

Speaking as a huge Nintendo Stan.. Elden Ring

 

[Punished Miku]

Luigi's Mansion is basically Nintendo making an old school Resident Evil, with comedy and puzzles.

Kirby is excellent as well.

Recently got Luigi's Mansion 1 3DS, reminded me of how great it is

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Not Elden Ring.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend a hard, 100+ hours game to get back into gaming either.

 

[SyberWolf]

God Of War
Horizon Zero Dawn
DOOM & DOOM Eternal
Resident Evil Village

Pre slump, I did get into DOOM 2016, fun action FPS

 

[Bragr]

As people mentioned, Vampire Survivors is good, fast, and easy to get into. shapez.io is good for this too.

 

[nominedomine]

Another option is to jump straight into The Last of Us 2, that way you'll be able to join the debate.

 

[Pejo]

Try Genshin Impact. The first 150 hours are great.

 

[OverHeat]

Halo Infinite

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Kind of off topic but what is the best way to play Resident Evil 96? I feel like giving it another go but don't want censored/missing content

I think you should ease off on RE games for a while and play different games.

Try Ghostrunner.
It didn't get publicity it deserves - but it's basically a perfect marriage of Mirror's Edge and Hotline Miami (including the soundtrack style), coupled with really nice Cyberpunk aesthetics.

 

[dcmk7]

Personally would suggest Hades and Returnal. Had a lot of fun out of the both of them, was never a dull moment.
