You might enjoy The Witness. Not as philosophical and less open-ended puzzles but you may still enjoy it.
The first-person puzzle game genre isn't huge to begin with. Antichamber, the Portal games, and the Witness are all I can think of, and they're all great in their own right.

Undertale was great, too, but genre-defining? It was a fun romp through a pretty standard RPG with an interesting cast and a few good twists on the formula to keep it fresh.

Did you even play it?

Dark Souls for any other third person fantasy RPG.
>>332453685
I am yet to find a game like S.T.A.L.K.E.R that I enjoyed just as much if that counts

Except it killed most games for me. The sense of investment in everything you do. The addiction and surprising immersion. The endless content. Coming back from a dungeon to be cozy in your house, set up your shop, tend to your farm. Why is it the only game of its kind?
>>332454363
If you're trying to argue the Undertale is the genre-defining SHMUP nothing I say can brink you back from the brink of madness.

I never understood the praise for Metro; I got bored halfway through 2033 and played SoC again.

Dragon's Dogma
I can't find enjoyment out of anything else. I need more character customization and action with weight. Capcom better pour the rest of their money into DD2 before they go bankrupt soon.

Practically forgotten already.
Only brought up for the sake of shitposting.
Can you name another successful animal/creature capturing game?
>>332454096
You may also think of Portal I suppose. Quantum Conundrum, Magnetic: cage closed, QUBE, Parallax, The Ball are others but not nearly as good as Talos. Quantum Conundrum is also very cool.
Though I'm definitely going to buy The witness sooner or later.

Probably one of the most overrated games on /v/. I liked it when I played it on PS3 when Dark Arisen came out, but it's only above average and has pretty bland, mediocre combat. All of a sudden once it hit PC everyone started considering it amazing. I like it and hope it gets a sequel but god how casual can you get.
>>332453685
Is the DLC for Talos Principle worth it? I was thinking of getting it next sale.
>>332455140
I meant the portal mod.
>>332455157
Yes its good, but kinda sad it didn't have the computer as a character again.

>All of a sudden once it hit PC everyone started considering it amazing
I think you may be wrong, it was much before than that as every DD thread was infested with pc port begging.
>>332455157
Yes, and it's actually more challenging than the main game.
>>332455157
It's good, some puzzles are as batshit as the stars.
I was thinking of getting it next sale
It's on sale right now on GMG for 3.74 yuros.

First person action games.
>>332453918
How much are puzzle books nowadays? Because that's the only amount of money I'd pay for The Witness.
southern slavs > eastern slavs > australian abbos > western slavs
>>332455289Well they also killed the IP.
>>332455554
I'm not saying people didn't want it, I wanted it too because playing on 10fps fucking sucked. I'm saying that once PC casual race got their hands on it it went from being an okay arpg with neat ideas to "genre defining, soulsfags BTFO"
>>332455157
Its def worth it. The difficulty is brutal compared to the original.
>>332454709
It's a philosofical game.
Are you dumb?
>>332454761
I know what you mean anon, just not the same stalker expirience. I really enjoyed the books, but then again they were also outdone by road side picnic
>>332455154
>All of a sudden once it hit PC everyone started considering it amazing
We had plenty of threads before the pc release was even revealed, talking about how fun it was. I was in every one of them. DD:DA is a mess but you gotta appreciate the special moments you can only experience in this game within the genre. Moments like hanging on to a flaming griffin as it crashes to the ground or traveling in pitch blackness then all of a sudden a chimera pounces into your small area of light. There's so much wrong with the game but I can't help but feel it's the beta to an amazing game.

fuck you egosoft, why did you make Rebirth so shit
>>332456283
Seek help, friend. I'm sure your family worries.
>>332456505
Rebirth is substantially better now than it was (as with all egosoft games).
But...still no ship changing so its kinda meh. But they have said the next game will

>>332456352
I agree completely, like I said I like the game and has good ideas, but it's a fucking mess and the combat is horrible. "A beta to an amazing game" is a perfect description. I just get triggered when people call it "genre defining" or compare extremely favorably to the Souls series, a series that is at this point reasonably polished and has a focused direction to it.
It could have an awesome sequel with the framework it laid out but the game itself is only pretty good.
>>332453685
Talos is good, but what about SERIOUS games?
>>332453685
>that guy that bought like 20 copies of talos principle for his friends last christmas
Dwarf fortress ruined city Sims and "getting my gore fix" syndrome, nothing has surpassed the quality of df in both these regards. Eventually I'll just go "dwarf fortress can do this better" and quit
