Completed! It ended up being one of the most fun and challenging puzzle games I've ever played. The "UNIX" parts of the game paid off more than I thought they would, and the grand finale ends the...

I've been playing an older game, The Talos Principle, which I'd describe as a cross between Portal and a philosophical game like Dear Esther. The puzzles are challenging, have decent variety, and the...

Are there any good recently released (last 3-4 years) Skyrim-like open world RPGs worth checking out? I gave Elden Ring a shot, but I'm a little worn out on Soulslike games lately. I have heard good...

Thanks for the recs.

Another one I enjoyed that you may like is Victor Vran, which looks like it's in the same vein as Van Helsing.

I will check out the others too,...

I've been playing Sacred on and off, an old Diablo clone that's not too bad, but it doesn't totally satisfy my craving for games like this.

Has anyone played any good ones lately? To make...

Well, I finished The Return of the Obra Dinn. Lucas Pope (who also made Papers, Please, which I also adore) is a genius. If only I could wipe my memory of it so I can play it again brand new.
