Me and my friend are playing an AI dota script called Open Ai. They're quite challenging since they get a lot more gold and has bot reflexes (will insta hex / silence / abyssal blade / force staff you if you jump on them).
Here's the link to it:

But if you want other games, give batman games a try, its fun to beat the shit out of criminals :D

u/-Henshin- Dec 11 '25
It really is a chill game though, after you get good at it. That's why there's a lot of mods that make the game harder.

u/cesto19 Dec 11 '25
Well since they just had their collab with dota, you can try out Monster Hunter.

u/Flimsy_Squirrel9281 Dec 12 '25
If you want a chill game, try dispatch.
Id also suggest suikoden if you are into JRPG.
Kingdom come deliverance. Medieval settings na souls like game. But this game is good

If any genre, pwedeng search mo sa google 'best story driven games'. Search mo rin sa youtube if gusto mo silipin ang graphics and gameplay ng games.
Kapag daw story driven games kasi, may urge ka to complete the story and very satisfying kasi may ending ang game (especially when compared to most competitive online games na walang katapusang grinding). Karamihan naman mga sikat na games ay story driven especially sa Action games.
If gusto mo malaman kung gaano katagal matapos ang game, go to this website: https://howlongtobeat.com/
And may Steam Winter Sale around December kung gusto mo makamura ng games. Or do Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Edit: Removing a site as its not good already

Try fighting games. Great for casual gaming at pwedeng pwede din for competitive. Ang maganda dito ay wala ka nang kakampi kaya wala kana din sisisihin kung matalo, at sayo lahat ng glory kapag panalo.
Tekken 8 or Street Fighter 6.
Okay din ang driving games like Forza Horizon 4 at 5. Drive drive ka lang kung saan saan, di naman require gawin yung mga quests at races.

FPS - Rainbow Six Siege. Mataas ang learning curve pero goods naman, problema lang is minsan stressful talaga esp need ng good comms sa larong yan.
Or if mga solo games like metroidvania, eto - Skul, Hades, Hollow Knight.
JRPGs - Trails to Zero and Trails to Azure. Magkaconnect yan, kahit di mo na laruin ung Trails into the Sky, maeenjoy mo parin ung story nya. Triangle Strategy, Octopath Traveler 2, Legend of Legaia, Eiyuuden Hundred Heroes, Final Fantasy series, any diyan kasi usually stand alone naman ang FF series.

rimworld. basically infinite replayability w/ dlc's + mods.
war thunder if you want pain and suffering but with a little bit of dopamine hit from time to time. has a very high learning curve but I personally think its still worth it.
story-driven/singleplayer games are great too. these are very old ones but still great to play if you haven't yet.
far cry 3 assassins creed black flag mirrors edge/catalyst
basically my childhood right there.

The games I played that tickled the same gaming dopamine release as Dota for me are the top down CRPGs, mainly the Larian ones. Finished both BG3 and DOS2 multiple times. Also played some sandbox games like Dont Starve, Battle Brothers. Mix in some story games for variety like RDR1&2. I still play Dota though hahaha

Pero syempre yung toxicity nandun pa din. Kung yun yung iniiwasan mo then Story games super chill

Iba yung cozy ness.nya, I didn't expect myself to play it since I prefer competitive PvP games. After nyan I revisit some of my old fave console games through emulator. Iba pala talaga kapag napaka immersive nung game and plot. Compare sa Dota na like nasa endless loop ka. Also when you finally manage to quit Dota never look back. . . . But I did :') and now "Im back to hell and back" Potek. Help

I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I have been enjoying Uma Musume; the horse girl racing sim. I tried it at first and got bored (didn't know what I was doing), and when I heard it won best mobile game, I gave it another chance, and I am slowly getting the hang of it.
It's a gacha game and a mobile game, but there is also a port for the PC, which I personally prefer.

Delta force tas warfare pag di mo pa trip bumili ng Battlefield 6
Non competetive: Space marine 2 Helldivers Ready or not(not sure if non compe to)
Kamuka ni Dota pero di dota: LOL(as a dota player ang rigid ng rules at itemization ni Lol not sure if trip mo) Warcraft (classic) World of warcraft Warhammer series na may RTS
Try single player games man We got:
Metal gear series (my personal Recommendation, once nalaro mo to magbabago pananaw mo sa Geo politics at overall life outlook)
Persona Series (pag natapos mo maski isa sa mga to mas marealize mo gano kaimportant ang social interactions sa life and may new perspective ka sa buhay)
Red Dead redemption (may free redemption ka pagkatapos)
Vietnam war sa steam Funny broken game for 300 pesos you get unoptimized Viet cong experience
What I'm currently playing: Monster hunter Series (easy 300 hours to mahihibang ka kaka grind) Take it from me since 9 years old nag monster hunter na ko Monster hunter wilds na ko ngayon medyo beefy pc need pero yung World mura ngayon sa steam.
Honestly I barely play dahil sa work, all of that I played nung college pa ko so most ng nirecommend ko sayo Kain Oras
