So I'm currently trying to broaden my horizons after really liking Deliver Us Mars (Blister, if you're looking for a game with a female protagonist, I'd highly recommend this and Celeste), and want to play more than the basic open-world and strategy games I've been sticking to so far. If anyone here has any suggestions as to what I could play, I'd love to hear them!

What did you like and dislike about Celeste?

I've played A LOT of 2D Platformers (its my favorite gaming genre alongside fighting games) so I could narrow my recommendations much more specifically depending on how you feel about Celeste! :D

(I had a gut recommendation I was going to say...which ironically I was thinking of giving to Blister as a means to open his worldview more...as his statement of "I don't like to make mistakes" gives me the impression he doesn't like to play hard games...but idk how interested he'd actually be. I get the feeling you might take my suggestions more seriously though! Just a feeling though! lol :P)

I liked the dash ability and the many different ways I was forced to use it, along with the story that the game provides. The game also has a great soundtrack and art, which is something that I always appreciate.

Inkulinati was one of the better games I've played this year. Really neat game.
And of course, Rimworld is the best game that currently exists.

I've heard of Rimworld before, and have been meaning to check it out for a while now. From what I've heard, it seems similar to Oxygen Not Included and Dwarf Fortress. From the quick search I did, Inkulinati also seems cool. Thanks for the suggestions!

Jagged Alliance 3 is pretty cool and doesn't get much attention. Turn based strategy squad combat with light RPG elements.

I need to go back to it at some point, sort of got distracted.

@Celinci if you're looking for a game where you just shoot a bunch of violent black people in a third world shithole, this is the game for you. Seriously, they're even dressed up in tribal shit and warpaint at times.

Added bonus, it's a former French colony, so they all got French accents. It's like you're killing the French as well!

 

That sounds interesting. I do like turn-based strategies and RPGs. I might check it out sometime, thanks!
