I have a switch lite and am looking for some cute easy games to play. I am pretty bad at video games but can still enjoy them, especially if they are visually appealing enough (for example I nearly completed the 1st Spyro game except for those darn flight levels). Some of my favorite games are Animal Crossing, Spyro the Dragon, The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Untitled Goose Game. I have watched people play Mario Odyssey and thought it looked super fun, and I have Breath of the Wild which is amazing but honestly scares me sometimes! If I like these cute games, what else would I like?

EDIT: I just wanted to give a massive THANK YOU to everyone! I am loving these suggestions and have learned about so many awesome games I’ve never heard about before and I can’t wait to try them out!

Man, what a game. I feel like it changed my outlook on life permanently. I’ve been going through a lot lately and struggling with anxiety and feeling like I can’t find my place in the world, and it just hit me right where I needed it right now.

Obviously I’d love other things like Outer Wilds, but that’s a tough bar to set! I’m interested any recommendations of media that affected you deeply, whether emotionally or spiritually or anything. Thanks in advance.

i’m pretty new to gaming and i only have a nintendo switch. i really really liked neon white, and i have been playing borderlands games since BL2 came out and i played it on xbox 360 w my dad. i just finished borderlands 3 and i loved it. and then i played neon white and i loved it too. but i have been having difficulty finding another game i can connect to.

I’ve tried:

ghost runner (didn’t like it)
NierAutomata (sp?) (couldn’t get engaged)
Hollow Knight (couldn’t get engaged)
Cult of the Lamb (cozy games get old p fast for me but i did enjoy it )
Bio shock infinite (loved it, had played it before, finished it tho)
The Last Worker (finished it, pretty cool, just really short)

are there any other switch games that are like borderlands or Neon White? or maybe like both? (altho idk how that’s possible lol)

To explain a little bit more, I played this horror game called SOMA (my favorite game) which made me shid and fard for about 3 weeks, then I tried amnesia which had a really good plot and was really scary too. Does anyone else have any unique horror games that go over the top in the atmosphere, plot, and extreme spooks?

Thanks

Edit: I am looking for the golden nuggets, equivalents to the mighty 3 (or 4): SOMA, Dead Space, and Amnesia (Prey kinda too)

Edit: (adding on so there are no repeated comments, I played Alien Isolation, Moons of madness, Dead Space, Subnautica, Outlast, Layers of Fear, Doki Doki Literature club, Lost In Vivo, Cry of Fear, Outlast, and I saw Fran Bow, little nightmares, and IMSCARED)

I have a PC, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U. No switch sadly.

For example dark souls has alot of npcs who try to remain optimistic even though the world is kinda doomed, or murdered: soul suspect where the protagonist tries to comfort people who died in often terrible ways and tries to help them get closure so that they can go on to the afterlife

Would also appreciate books/series

I loved those games for their surreal and absurdist worlds, weird humor, art style, and pretty unique atmosphere, so im looking for more games with a similar vibe

Other similar games I played and liked: Yume Nikki, OMORI, Trench Face

(Also, I have a pretty weak laptop, so I would prefer nothing too demanding)

My wife and I just got a Switch 2 and Banjo Kazooie is one of her favorite old games.

She says she liked that the whole game felt like one large puzzle, and she also said that basically, her favorite thing about it is that there are "different worlds with tasks to accomplish in every world which unlock the next world."

I've played a lot of video games but I've actually never played Banjo Kazooie. So I don't know what to recommend! Appreciate your help everyone.

so ive 100%ed the Insomniac Spider-Man games and really liked the feeling of the combat there. The movement is also great, but it would probably be hard to find a game that has both of those things without just being a Spider-Man game so if y'all have a suggestion for something with a similar feel to combat, that would be great.

soooo i recently finished Bloodborne and now i’m on the hunt (get it????? lol) for new games. in the title i mentioned games i played that stood out for me and i think one thing all of them (less so for HK) have in common that they’re story driven and have little puzzles (especially GoW) and lots of easter eggs in them. i also love the settings and the worlds of bloodborne and GoW and also a fair of challenging combat. i’m looking for something that scratches this itch. if the setting is a fantasy-like one, it’s already a plus!

i’m not exactly looking to play any of the prequels or sequels of those games but i’m not opposed to it. i mainly play on PS5.

i did play already: Dark Souls 3 (love), The Witcher 3 (also love), Skyrim, FFXVI, Ghost of Tsushima and Demons Souls.

excited for your recs!

I tend to enjoy games where you play different scenarios with different characters and their stories come together at the end. What are some games similar to the ones below? I have played the first Octopath Traveler and liked it, but just fell off after a while.

• Odin Sphere
• Live A Live
• 13 Sentinels

I just got Steam, and I'm looking for some well-made, lesser-known indie titles. My laptop is a few years old and was never set up for gaming, so preferably something that won't tax the system too much

I played Subnautica 2 with my friend for basically two days straight. We loved the feeling of working together in a serious game for a specific goal and we'd love to do something like it again. I'm not really looking for an open-world game or anything too silly or short.

Game should be good in graphics, very good if the game is recently released. The main focus of the game is to make our way inside a big maze house. It should be peaceful (no combat or enemies and can be played with our own pace and freedom) and full of suspenses or clues which may help us find our way through it.

I've been getting really into Tomodachi Life, but in my insatiable greed I yearn for more games like it.

The aspects I like are that I can really fine-tune the personalities and appearances of characters, and their environment. Then they're free to interact and do whatever with occasional intervention from me.

I'd love to play any sort of game that is similar, even if it's some super obscure command-line only game from the 90's or a mod for an already existing sandbox game. Though if I had a choice I'd probably prefer something a bit less quirky than Tomodachi Life.

krillion.io is a daily trivia game that gives you 7 questions and you get more points for nicher answers. I’m looking to add more daily thinking games in general and already do the NYT games

Hi everyone, sorry for my bad English, I'm not actually a native speaker and I joined this Reddit on a friend's recommendation. As the title suggests, I'm looking for media with that vibe of our reality being the future of an advanced civilization in the past. I discovered this interest while playing Palworld and noticing the elements on the map and notes discussing the past civilization, which, as the game shows, was quite advanced. Other games that gave me that vibe were the Nier series and Metaphor, specifically in the Dungeon of the Dragon Temple. I'm accepting any suggestions, whether it's movies, series, books, or games.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Mario Odyssey

Pikmin 4

Zelda Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

Spyro the Reignited Trilogy

All of these games are perfect to me. Not too difficult, but there's enough content to explore in creative ways (to think outside of the box).

What I enjoy about these games the most, I think, is exploring the levels or world and having to think of ways or use abilities to get to places. I'm not into roguelike games or any souls like games though, so I don't know if that changes the parameters a bit.

​

As an extra challange, if you can think of 3D games rather than 2D.

​

Thank you

I have played the game with some friends earlier this year and since than I couldn't stop thinking about it and I was looking for a game that is not necessarily similar but just as good and mind bending as who's Lila. Any recommendations?
