Hello everyone
I recently upgraded my PC and I'm excited to explore new games that can take advantage of my improved hardware. Previously, my old PC was limited, and I had to be selective about the games I played. I also have a Steam Deck, but I'm looking for offline single-player experiences on my PC.
I'm looking for games that offer an unforgettable experience and high replay value. I enjoy open-world games that give me the freedom to explore, similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I know it's not a PC game, but it gives you an idea of my playstyle.
Here are some games I've enjoyed in the past:
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - My favorite game, I love the freedom to explore without being bound to quests.
• Far Cry 3 - Great open-world experience that didn't get boring.
• NieR: Automata - Engaging story, but it got a bit repetitive.
• Scarlet Nexus - Great story, high replay value, and a beautiful world, although it can be repetitive.
• ULTRAKILL - Challenging and high replay value.
• Portal 2 - High replay value.
• Portal 1 - Enjoyed it, but didn't love it.
• Subnautica - Absolutely loved it.
• The Witcher 3 - Didn't enjoy it, but I'm giving it another try soon.
• Doom Eternal - Liked it.
• Horizon Zero Dawn - It's an average game, with a mid-story and a beautiful world.
For me, a good story is often the top priority, but I also enjoy games like Breath of the Wild where I can relax and play without thinking too hard.
If you're curious about my specs, here they are:
New PC:
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• RAM: 64GB DDR5 Memory
Old PC: • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB
• CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz
• RAM: 4GB DDR3 Memory
I'd appreciate any game recommendations that fit my preferences.
Edit: Thanks already for the recommendations, I might also add, that I love the Halo games. Except the newer ones.
You've got a nice new pc and if you want to play something like BOTW, you might enjoy Red Dead Redemption 2. BOTW was also my favorite game of all time until i played rdr2. RDR has similiar mechanics to breath of the wild, like hunting, but the whole world is just so lively, immersive, and beautiful. I can't think of a single issue with the game, it's a true 10/10, can't praise it enough.
I also recommend any other rockstar game, specifically gta v and max payne 3, they are both great as well.
If you want an FPS experience, play the original call of duty modern warfare games first, MW2019 next, then black ops 1-3+cold war+6. I wouldn't recommend new mw2 or 3.
I'll also say the Metro games are great, they are like post-apocalyptic COD with a great story and nice gameplay. Super underrated series.
Edit: I have a specific taste for shooter games, so I'd suggest you read other comments if you are into other genres.
Uhh disagree with RDR2. There was an issue where I couldn't see the game very well due to tears in my eyes. They really have to patch that out.
I haven't even finished RDR2 yet, I got to the epilogue but then quit. I'll finish it someday soon.
You gotta at least get to the house song!!
I will, at some point.
As I said in other comments, I think RDR2 won't be a game I will play in a long time, since it seems to me that it is like a movie, not really a Game.
GTA V isn't really a game I like. It's somewhat boring for me, since you can do almost anything.
The Call of Duty Games look cool, but I'm unsure about the whole franchise. I think it could be excellent, but the whole franchise is somehow unsympathetic for me.
I'm currently looking at the tags of Metro Exodus, which has been on my list for a long time, and I've noticed that it has the "horror" tag. Are the horror elements a key part of the game like Jump scares or anything like that? I don't like being scared, but if it's not a key part, I might consider it.
Thanks for your Recommendations.
