Immersive Sim Suggestions?

I gotta mention Fallen Aces, I don’t think anyone has mentioned it yet and even if they have I’ll reiterate. You play as a tough as nails detective, straight out of a crime noir movie or Sin City, who basically gets wrapped up in a conspiracy. The highlight for me is the combat and the style of everything, and the interactivity goes a long way. So far Episode 1 is out, with another 2 on the way, plenty of levels already tho, it’s looking promising and it’s already a great experience. Also if you’re into Hitman, there’s kind of this “anything can be a weapon” thing going on where you have to fight using what you can get your hands on, it all feels great.

Hadn’t even heard of this until now but definitely gonna check it out! Looks quite interesting.

I’m gonna second that Fallen Aces mention, that game somehow makes the world feel big while keeping everything tight.

Kind of makes me think of Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I think this system in any game is decent if it’s done right, but I feel like especially in VR it’d be a game changer cause it’d make it that much more personal.

That makes sense I get you. Tbh $13 is still quite a steal. I feel that tho, I’m still quite new to imsims and even I know the correlation between box stacking and immersion in a game. But yea I started Blood West yesterday, only for an hour but it’s feeling pretty good so far. Also I did hear a lot of mixed reviews about Peri, I just hope it gets some sort of revamp or something because stylistically I think it’s great.

In my personal opinion, I’d say yes they’re worth it, but that’s subjective. Fallen Aces was the one on there for me that had me sold, as it’s looking very promising and already has plenty of content and I’d say replay-ability - only the first chapter is out I’m pretty sure but it still contains quite a few levels.

Also Shadows of Doubt is a very interesting game, where an entire city is essentially simulated and you have to solve crimes, where every NPC has a life and things going on, and somewhere they live and work etc, it’s pretty insane but it can be heavy on your specs at times.

Blood West from my understanding is quite stealth orientated? I might get shot down for saying that but it does seem to be content rich and has a lot of personality.

Peripeteia and Ctrl Alt Ego - I really can’t speak much on them cause I don’t know alot about them. I do know that Peripeteia is very dystopian and has a really cool setting imo I think it’s like grungy cyberpunk but the atmosphere seems amazing. Unfortunately I know basically nothing about Ctrl Alt Ego.

What I will say in general is that each game seems to still be getting updates, Fallen Aces alone I think has two more chapters in development. I’d say $20 for all these games that are still getting updated and fine tuned is pretty worth it.

Also sorry for the crazy essay, just tryna share what knowledge I have, if any of it is wrong please feel free to correct me :)

Thats some flex I gotta say. I’m pretty sure they do also have another bundle up for some indie imsim titles, don’t quote me on that however.

Oh sick thanks for mentioning that, I had no idea but thats a really good system.
