What kinds of games might you recommend with deep worldbuilding and interaction that aren’t RPGs?
I like worldbuilding and stories, and I like when they’re mixed with the interactivity of games, so RPGs seem like they should be a natural fit. Problem is, I dislike the stat-heavy, grindy progression of many RPGs.
I enjoy point & click adventures and visual novels but they’re often more limited in their interactions. What kinds of game might I be missing combining the two?
I did enjoy Control! It was one of the last few big budget games from the past few years that I’ve really enjoyed.
Although it could have played around with the powers more, for sure, and the setting was very constrained. Still, at least it had that element of the strange to it.
So I should note here that I also kinda enjoyed Death Stranding (as another of the few big budget titles I enjoyed), but it’s not really inspired many other games yet to make a distinct kind.
