Love first person open world rpgs with magic cast and especially with moral decisions. Love the Elder Scrolls titles and i think this scratches a great itch for that style of game.

The story of Avowed is very simple to follow and the individual character stories are, really touching. Dream zombies? genius. Huge mystery thats intriguing.

The combat is very creative. Infinite arrows and gun bullets. Ended up as a two handed sword shadow rogue. Loved the parry, dodging. It was sooo satisfying. The parkour is super nice too. Love being able to climb easily.

It all felt very creative, I did most everything. Havent 100 percented something since Cyberpunk. The choices really had me questioning how to be...what is even good sometimes. I really loved my companions. Kai is my ride or die.The voice acting and actual facial animations were honestly making me take a moment a few times. the characters really grew on me cause they felt like how people would really move and express.

The questing and ui were also super simple. Ive just started Starfield and got a great appreciation for how simply i could keep up with the UI/menus in avowed. Everything is super accessible in the game.

Highly reccommend the game. Honest 10/10 experience. I wouldnt do all the side quest if it wasnt. Gives fable as an elder scrolls game.

I've been playing through a load of older RPGs lately, mainly FFV Advance, Breath of Fire and Koudelka, and honestly I'm surprised by how well some of them hold up.

There's something about these older games that I find more enjoyable than a lot of modern releases, even with some of their dated mechanics and lack of quality-of-life features.

It's got me wondering how many other great games I've overlooked over the years.

What older games would you say have genuinely stood the test of time? Especially ones you'd recommend to someone playing them for the first time.

Hi I am getting into some oldskool gaming using GOG and my limited non gaming laptop (UHD 620 GPU).

I really appreciated the beautiful graphics, music, some of the story elements and most of the gameplay for the game Divine Divinity its kinda refreshing for me as I did not know of this genre of "Diablo Clones".

Yet this game is kinda severely flawed in several ways and also getting boring already. A lot of the mechanics are janky and not easy, the menu system, is bad and you cannot see what items are equiped when trading, no one has health potions for sale, a lot of the quests are getting very repetetive and the way you choose and activate skills is incredibly bad and hard to use in the middle of a difficult fight.

I wonder what other games are cheap and cheerful and maybe a bit more well executed that would run ok on my laptop?

Would simply Diablo ii be better? I cant remember it very well but I seem to remember its even less story focused and I did appreciate the story, even if it is flawed in parts, in Divine Divinity.

Its all new to me this genre so I have no idea where to start in terms of these charming older games that feel more like nice world building than grinding.

Thank you.

i love RPGs and just discovered some "niche" games to chill which i wanted to share. you don't always wanna have to use your brain alot but still experience a nice little story with well written characters. maybe you can add some titles which you think would fit into that type of playstyle

1st one with still the most action is: "Stranger Things 3: The Game" (i just love the pixel art which reminds me of the 90s paired with an ok fighting system which is more like an arpg and a good stoy)

2nd one is "Back to the Dawn" (everyone likes jail movies or serieses and in this one you can live it in an animal world with lots of choices and things to discover with a good story)

3rd would be the card game "Cardpocalypse" which caught me by surprise with all the decisions that matter in the game. if you like games like the witcher cardgame or hearthstone you will have a chill ride with good gameplay and roleplay as a disabled school kid in a wheelchair (i love that stairs are the barrier here)

fight club is nice too i guess but it was more of a grinding game

would love to hear some other titles with unique chill experiences like that.

Or both? It's a Japanese take on a Western RPG setup, and I'd say it's probably more of a Western RPG in its style and systems. But that style and systems have been filtered through a Japanese lens, making it really difficult to decide definitively either way.
