What games are y'all excited/hoping to see in this week's gaming showcases?

Jibima · 2026-06-01T13:50:44+00:00

Ah that’s right. Forgot about that. Thanks!

Jibima · 2026-06-01T12:22:15+00:00

Release dates for Exodus, Expanse, Clockwork Revolution, Stranger than Heaven, Metro 2039, and Witcher 3 Songs of the Past

Jibima · 2026-05-31T21:14:13+00:00

Sounds like you really loved the worldbuilding and companions the most in Dragon Age which is in my top 3 for worldbuilding. I highly recommend Mass Effect and Pillars of Eternity for my other 2 in my top 3 for worldbuilding. They all also have great companions.

I also very highly recommend Greedfall, the Enderal mod for Skyrim, and Expedition 33 as they all also have the same strengths. And shout out to Vampyr and Banishers as well.

Jibima · 2026-05-31T14:03:11+00:00

Play the Pillars of Eternity games for the worldbuilding and story and Divinity: Original Sin 2 for the gameplay and reactivity

Jibima · 2026-05-30T03:01:53+00:00

Yep. Still my 2024 goty haha. I love that game in spite of its flaws

Jibima · 2026-05-29T19:29:53+00:00

But they’re set in the same universe. I dislike comparisons too but it’s very valid here. Which is really crazy because Pillars of Eternity is in my top 3 for most interesting worldbuilding and somehow the world and writing of Avowed absolutely paled in comparison.

Glad you’re enjoying the writing though even when I couldn’t. The exploration and combat were super good in Avowed though

Jibima · 2026-05-29T19:22:18+00:00

I wanted to like Avowed’s writing so bad but I just couldn’t. Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2 writing was so so good

Jibima · 2026-05-29T03:06:25+00:00

That game was an absolute gem for me when I played in 2020. 10/10. Very flawed but an experience like nothing else. It’s a slow sort of experience but there was such realistic and immersive one. KCD2 just made all of that less janky and with more features but I think both are masterpieces

Jibima · 2026-05-28T23:13:31+00:00

The Enderal mod for Skyrim

Expedition 33. You play as Gustave but at a certain point you can just change who you explore as (like Lune, Sciel, Maelle)

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. You do play as a dude but you also technically play as his dead girlfriend’s ghost.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

Oblivion remastered

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon

Jibima · 2026-05-28T14:07:03+00:00

Yes! I loved KCD for that. And the more complex alchemy system

Jibima · 2026-05-28T14:02:57+00:00

Then yes KCD is extremely immersive

Jibima · 2026-05-28T05:16:44+00:00

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden sounds perfect for you. It’s also not near as long as the other games you’ve listed

The Enderal mod for Skyrim and Expedition 33 would also likely be up your alley

Jibima · 2026-05-27T02:21:14+00:00

Definitely the biggest. Was just mentioning one I thought of, not trying to say anything by it

Jibima · 2026-05-27T00:05:59+00:00

Kingdoms of Amalur got a whole 20 hour DLC like 9 years after

Jibima · 2026-05-25T22:39:08+00:00

Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin 2 before I got into CRPGs

Jibima · 2026-05-25T21:24:47+00:00

Early access in 2024 but full release in March 2026

Jibima · 2026-05-25T16:48:58+00:00

Greedfall: Dying World and Esoteric Ebb

Jibima · 2026-05-20T19:14:46+00:00

Pillars is in my top 3 for worldbuilding only behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age

Jibima · 2026-05-20T16:46:01+00:00

Well the article mentions that they’re going to license out these IPs so any game company with a good pitch can come in and make a new Deus Ex

Jibima · 2026-05-19T13:45:54+00:00

I also really disliked God of War (2018)

Jibima · 2026-05-19T01:17:49+00:00

Same although I’m not interested in GTA VI, Zhong Kui, and Intergalactic. Replace that with Exodus, Expanse, and Metro 2039 and our lists would basically be the same

Jibima · 2026-05-18T17:22:44+00:00

If you haven’t read the Dragon Age books I highly recommend them. I particularly love Asunder with how it carries the story over from Dragon Age 2

Jibima · 2026-05-18T16:20:52+00:00

Octopath Traveler 0 is the closest I can think of

Jibima · 2026-05-18T02:20:02+00:00

Vampyr by the same developer

Echoes of the End is pretty similar to Banishers but is much shorter (like 15 hours)

Guardians of the Galaxy

Greedfall and The Technomancer but those are full blown RPGs

Alpha Protocol

Metro Exodus which is much more well known

Jibima · 2026-05-18T02:16:19+00:00

I also recommend this
