 any interesting single player story-based games y'all would recommend? 
 Final Fantasy X remastered 
 hmm, never played any, curious 
 It’s the best one imo. A bit of an older game but it stands the test of time. 
 am i going to lose a lot of context having not played any of the previous ones? 
 No each FF game is standalone unless playing a direct sequel like FF X2 
 oh, perfect 🤗 
 Red Dead Redemption 2. 
 not the first?

haven't played either tbh 
 RDR 2 is fun and just a good game. 
 heard it's by Rockstar Games, so my expectation are high already 
 1800’s. Horses instead of cars. It’s beautiful. Very well made & story is cool. 
 dude

this sounds like a banger 
 Addictive.  I’ve logged my hours. 
And you can be a complete degenerate as well & question your own humanity at times.  I’ve done some things. 
 excited for it

last game i loved like that was the Mafia series 
 Southpark did an episode on it. RDR2 - the whole town was addicted to the story etc etc. Funny episode. 
 i can't bring myself to watch south park, feel like i'm losing braincells every single time 
 well, not that there's much to lose anymore 
 You lose & gain some. There’s some brilliance in their stuff. 
 Torchlight 2 
 feel like i've heard about it

poor man's Diablo? 
 Easily God of war 
 think i saw some speedrun content about it way back, but never played it 🤔 
 You should, the 2018 game and god of war ragnarok feel almost like a movie at times it’s perfect 
 The Batman Arkham series is pretty solid. 
 hmm, would have to rewatch the movies series before that 
 Kingdom Hearts ❤️‍🔥 
 🤔 never heard of it, what's it like? 
 The most incredible game(s) you will ever play. 
You get to meet a bunch of the Disney and Final Fantasy (also a good series) characters as you battle through different worlds trying to keep the balance between light and darkness.

 Celeste
Hyperlight Drifter
 
 ooh, platformers 🥰

excited to check those out 
 Both have quite moving stories and are pretty much fast paced all the way through

 Control  
 the graphics look beautiful 👀 
 You'll love this game 
 Starfield
Cyberpunk 2077 
 2017 Prey 
 hmm, sci-fi shooter 🤔👀 
 I second this.
One of the best single player games I’ve played. 
 damn, that good 🤔 
 🧐hmmmmmmm 
 The Witcher, cyberpunk and FF 7 are all great. I also really enjoyed "we happy few" as well.  
 cyberpunk got a lot of backlash initially during the launch, hope it's good

haven't heard too much about the other two

the witcher has a tv series too i think? 
 Imo Cyberpunk is great and the new Phantom Liberty DLC is a good addition.

the Witcher was initially a series of books which are also very good if you're looking for a read. The tv series was well done.

If you've ever read the book Brave New World, we happy few has very similar vibe to it. 
 Nier Autamata 
 is that on pc? 🤔 
 Sure is! Regularly on sale too 
 Witcher 3 has the best storyline ever!
Also loved Zelda BOTW, but not for the story😅 
 Metal Gear Solid 
 Hmm, keep on hearing about this game 👀 
 any of the JPRGs from the 90s 🤙 
 never heard the term JRPG before 🤔 
 Japanese role-playing games 🤙 
 oohh, that sounds rather interesting, any specifcs you'd recommend? 
 for me Final Fantasy is a favorite 🕹️ 
 Fire emblem. Haven’t played it in a long time but the old ones were awesome. 
 Let me look it up 🤔 
 It’s for Nintendo, I believe they have ones for the switch but I am unsure. I’ve been stuck on tears of the kingdom. Oldest son deleted all of the data. So trying to re-do everything. 
 wait

you're a dad? 🥹 
 Yeah. 4 year old and a 3 month old. 4 year old domestic terrorist. 3 month old has no problem turning a grocery store trip into hostage situation. 
 😂😂😂

and that's them at their best behaviour, eh? 
 😭😭😭😭 Shut up tanel 😭😭😭 
 🤗🤗🤗 https://i.nostr.build/Rv6e.jpg  
 Is this your cate?? 
 i wish, this is semisol's wet dream 
 Silent Hill 2 if you haven’t - series were ahead of their time, conceptually imo. 
 hmm, think i might have heard of it

never seen it tho 
 Worth a spin if you can get a decent rom/emu or original hw, also if you like psychological horror games that drew from literary works like Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Kafka, Dostoyevsky, and others of that kind. Clunky controls tho considering that era lol. 
 Dishonored 1 and 2. Can't get enough of them.  
 Hmm, curious of the genre, will look them up 🤗 
 Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, The Witcher 3 
 Haven't heard of the first one yet 🤔 
 The best stories I've played in the last 10 years are:
Red Dead Redemption 2
Subnautica
The Last of Us Remastered
