In this thread i want you to recall every Immersive Sim game you ever played and try to rank the games either by making a numbered list or a tier list with multiple games if you want in each tier.
Disclaimer: I know that "Immersive-Sim" is a controversial sub-genre for some people with confusing and blurred definitions, but lets not talk about that in this topic and keep it just for ranking and discussing the games within it. (Discussing if a game is or isn't immersive sim is fine by me, just not the discussion about if the genre is a thing or not please!)
Also, If there is any game that you think qualifies feel free to add it into your ranking.
Alright, so with that aside, lets give a list of well known immersive sim games, whether a purist type or some hybrid.
Generally must be; First Person + Emergent Gameplay
List of Immersive Sim games:
Ultima Underworld, Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss
System Shock, System Shock 2
Thief, Thief 2: The Metal Age, Thief 3, Thief Reboot
Deus Ex, Deus Ex Invisible War, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Arx Fatalis
Dishonored, Dishonored 2
Prey
Cruelty Squad
---------- End of Purist list (unless i forgot something)
E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines
Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite
Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl
Deathloop
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
-----------------------------
Rank them from best to worst and OR use tier listing.
Even better if you write why do you like/dislike them.
