I 'd like to get some AA (not AAA) games to play as I tend to like games in that category the most. If anyone has good suggestions, or better a full list of games to check out, that would be very appreciated.
I look into all genres, but the most I like is FPS, Action RPGs, and if possible good open worlds.
Here are a few picks off the top of my head:
- Control: TPS, open-ish world, present day setting, solo only
- Deep Rock Galactic: FPS, mission-centric, sci-fi setting, solo & co-op
- Generation Zero: FPS, open world, sci-fi setting, solo & co-op
- Kena: Bridge of Spirits: Action-Adventure, open-ish world, fantasy setting, solo only
- Outward: RPG, open world, fantasy setting, solo & co-op
- Remnant: From the Ashes / Remnant 2: TPS, open-ish world, sci-fi & fantasy setting, solo & co-op
Oh god not Outward. After trying it recently I’m honestly kinda shocked that it’s being played at all. Me and my mate got the impression of playing through a 20 year old hobby game dev project at best.
It felt so very unpolished. Combat, UI, inventory management, dialogues, character creation, narrative, quest logs, crafting; it all feels ancient. Co-op especially - only the host progresses the story, gets quest rewards, and so on. A second player can kinda come along, but that’s it.
Don’t want to discredit old fans of the game ofc, but I honestly believe without a hefty dose of nostalgia you wont enjoy it. It would be like picking up Half-Life for the first time in 2024 and expecting a decent game.
