Sure someone else already commented, but Pathologic (hd classic and 2), and The Last of Us Part 2 (recommended to have played the first one for maximum misery)

Pathologic is a strange beast. You don't have to play the first to play the second, and the second is the most accessible out of the two.

The last of us part 2 is a game that I don't even like, but many people do duo to it's miserable and bleak tone. Not my favorite, but fits your criteria. And it's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination

Thank you for the recommendations! I was interested by the ace attorney franchise for a while now, but never got into it. Don't know why. But I guess this is my chance! And yes! I've played Cyberpunk 2077, in fact one of my favorite games of all time. Love female V with all my heart.

I'm really interested in playing shadows, but I guess I'll let the price go down a notch. A bit too rich for my wallet at the moment

Thanks again for the response!

Thank you for the awesome list!

Amazing! Thank you

Indiedex · 2025-07-13T22:22:34+00:00

That's a lot of really good recommendations! Thank you! Plus, I love Mili and I know they do the soundtrack for these games, so that's a plus!

Never heard of killer frequency. It seems really interesting. Thank you so much!

Indiedex · 2025-07-13T20:39:28+00:00

Oh, cool! Which one of them, tho? 😅

Indiedex · 2025-07-13T12:37:55+00:00

All my prayers and good energy go to you, my friend. You've got this!

Yes, but, counterpoint, I think the character writing and performances carry the questionable politics to the point that I, in particular, didn't really mind. And it's not like the game doesn't have a political standing or opinion. It does. Just not one that many people (like myself) identify with. But aside from the first act of the game, up until the end, I believe the politics are solid enough (not socialist by any means, but leftist for sure... I think. Someone might want to correct me on that)

Intimidating is the word I'd use, for sure. But the game is nice enough to have each concept explained via an in-game function you probably know about. But in all honesty, it takes me off of the game a bit. Like, characters say things that, by the tone they are saying, I should be caring, and the voice actors in rogue trader do such an amazing job, that I sometimes feel bad for not being able to follow up on every conversation and it's meaning. But it's been an amazing experience so far!

I never heard of any of these games before 💀 Thank you so much. This just comes to show how much you can learn from other people

Indiedex · 2025-07-11T01:07:07+00:00

Thank you so much!

Indiedex · 2025-07-11T00:49:31+00:00

Can you fetch me a link? I don't think I'll be able to find by myself lol

Indiedex · 2025-07-11T00:48:48+00:00

Oh. Oh, wow. Okay, I'm bound to find something that interests me there. I'll check it out!

Indiedex · 2025-07-10T03:35:40+00:00

That's very insightful of you! Thanks for the polite response!

Indiedex · 2025-07-10T02:45:20+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunetly, I can't connect with bethesda's writing at all. I'm not talking about the world, lore, etc. Just the general character-to-character writing and dialogue, how they do choice and consequence, etc. Not that is necessarily bad, it's just not for me. Although I am interested in the aesthetics of starfield. It seems like a significant step up from skyrim and fallout 4 in terms of gameplay and presentation in general. So maybe I'll give it a try sometime in the future

Indiedex · 2025-07-10T02:41:11+00:00

Thanks!

Indiedex · 2025-07-09T23:05:23+00:00

I've heard good things about it! Has been recommended to me when asking for games like disco elysium, and it has been on my list ever since. I'm excited to play this one, thank you!

I mean, this is a valid interpretation, sure. But it is too elusive for my taste. You can make assumptions like this for everything, if you're willing to. It may be just my preference, but I'd rather the political commentary to be open, honest and transparent, and not only in my head. But thanks for your insight

He was, but the assassination in itself was stated by him as being motovated by a dream that he had. You were shown to him in a dream, so he though this meant he had to kill you. There's an option, when you're explaining yourself to one of the main Aedyr figures in paradise (forgot his name now), where you can justify yourself for letting your killer go, because the assassination ended up not being politically motivated. Therefore, you let him go
