Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Fantastic titles made by people in their bedrooms.

Spelunky. My Vita was basically a Spelunky machine.

Disco Elysium. Best writing and storytelling I've ever played.

Spiritfarer. Probably one of the most touching games I've ever played. What Remains of Edith Finch. Stardew Valley. Firewatch.

Citizen Sleeper, one the the best games, not just indie.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (ASCII mode) and Neofeud hold a special place in my heart

Are Journey and Outer Wilds considered indie games?

Binding of Isaac. When it finally came out on the switch, I played it more than Breath of the Wild.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I played it to completion. Then Rebirth came out and I played it to completion (barring The Lost, because come on). I only recently picked up Repentance and I'm already another 200 hours in.

❤️, or perhaps I should say ❤️🤍🤍💙💙🖤💔

Inscryption

You are in a weird cabin in the middle of the woods playing a card game with your fate on the line. Some of your cards are talking to you and comment on how you play.

Then things get weird.

For those that like Inscryption, honorable mention for Hand of Fate 1 & 2

The Oregon Trail, Pong, Myst, Doom, Worms, Transport Tycoon, Tetris...

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.run 4 points 2 years ago

Does STALKER count? I love the atmosphere of the games.

If not I've sunk a lot of time in Mini Metro

[–] AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hotline Miami. Would appreciate recommendations of similiar games.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I played A Short Hike recently, and I was transported. It's a painterly little adventure in which you walk and glide your way through an archipelago, meeting people and solving small puzzles, mostly around platforming. It's amazingly soothing. First game my wife actually enjoys too, and she's not into games at all.

Not technically in their bedrooms but made by students - Narbacular Drop. It was the game that spawned Portal. It’s not a great game, per se, but I’ll never forget the paradigm-shifting moment I had when I realized what was happening.

Valve ended up hiring the entire team to work on Portal.
