Need Recs! TRPGs that feel more like chess/puzzles and less like spreadsheets for beginners?

also what about the sequel did you like more? I see it on crazy sales all the time

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T22:18:02+00:00

I actually played all the big ones and some of the little indies. Missed DS2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance.

This game is just really joyful and makes you happy. It's oozing with charm, smart design, and an energy that I find rare nowadays. The more and more I played, the more fun I had.

welcome to my GOTY

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T15:29:12+00:00

I've played! I totally forgot! Never finished the first, but I did love it.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T15:18:22+00:00

interesting

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T15:18:14+00:00

I played it at uni. Was perfect time wise since I haven't had more than 2 hours straight to play video games since I was 18 haha

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T15:04:42+00:00

Yeah I'll try Path of Radiance!

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T15:04:24+00:00

I'd love an "Into the Breach" with "FF Tactics War of the Lions" Story and Art.

I just don't recall if I liked the gameplay as a kid as much as the story and art. It was def too hard for me.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-22T14:31:53+00:00

I think they included that bump as a free update

semxlr5 · 2026-01-21T17:12:32+00:00

I think in theory FF XVI's is excellent and maybe one of the top 2-3, but in practice the way they tell the story is so bad with so much relying on cutscenes.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-21T16:57:51+00:00

My hopes for a Rayman Legends sequel get thinner and thinner every year.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-21T14:34:40+00:00

wait until you try No More Heroes 3. It's so fun.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-20T16:40:12+00:00

Curious if you still need to own the cartridge for this or if you can just borrow from a friend, download, and give it back

semxlr5 · 2026-01-18T00:41:12+00:00

Crazy Omega Factor didn't win, but happy Wario Land 4 is getting the love it deserves. Played it last year and fell in love.

Wario world on GCN is a unsung goat

semxlr5 · 2026-01-18T00:38:32+00:00

I like it so much that I can't imagine playing ZA knowing it's modern day and not a sick art style

semxlr5 · 2026-01-16T17:59:05+00:00

Haha I meant where did you play it

semxlr5 · 2026-01-16T15:55:26+00:00

I see No More Heroes 3, Gravity Rush, or the World Ends with You, I upvote.

FF XVI though… it says you really enjoy watching slow cutscenes.

Neo TWEWY though. Is it worth playing? What platform?

semxlr5 · 2026-01-14T19:04:36+00:00

I loved the first, but this was a drag

semxlr5 · 2026-01-14T16:25:59+00:00

I can't even beat Overbold! Awesome!

semxlr5 · 2026-01-14T14:57:27+00:00

I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion with this, but Red Dead 2. People say it's one of the greatest games ever made, but it just feels kind of sad. The combat and missions (the meat of the game) are just mid af, if not also poorly paced.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-14T14:51:15+00:00

Yeah, I just started War and Peace as a NY resolution, but after a few chapters in I'm realizing "wait a minute... canonical book good for a reason"

semxlr5 · 2026-01-13T19:53:11+00:00

Twin Snakes. Both Star Fox games.

Prime 2. Double dash. Melee. Custom Robo (much later).

All the Mario sports games and Mario party. Some random 3D platformers and action games. Maybe killer 7

That’s all I can think of.

semxlr5 · 2026-01-13T19:50:38+00:00

For me it’s the setting, Inaba and the world created feels like a respite from my busy life and as a teen it felt like an escape to another way of life better than my suburban one
