I just want a game with a great story, a gameplay with medium low difficulty that isn't a grindfest and isn't too long ( usually caused by the endless grinding).
you've described like 60% of all popular indie games. are you coming here seeking recommendations? what genre?
Rpg or platformer.
The only way I can access games is by pirating them and I don't pirate indie games unless they already pretty successful and it wouldn't hurt them. Yeah, even that 2.99$ is too much when you live in shitty third world country.
i respect that, homie. Have you spent a lot of time with retro games? I think there might be a lot in that category that fit your wheelhouse, but I don't want to start rattling them off if you don't have an interest there.
For RPG, you could try something like Sea of Stars, Night in the Woods, or Transistor. For platformers, you could try out Celeste (with assist modes), Inside (from the Limbo people), Sonic Mania, A Hat in Time, or Pizza Tower. I could think of some bigger games as well, but not sure what kind of hardware you're working with.
I actually enjoy retro gaming. Earthbound and mother 3 are my favorite games! The professor Layton serie is also great! The thing is, while retro games are a huge source of "free" games, they're often too hard. I also found myself falling in a rabbit hole with an entire generation of retro games that nobody cares about anymore despite being full of great games : flip phone java games" (j2me). I highly recommend trying them if you want to play games on your phone without being thrown a billion ad and microtransactions. Just play the touchscreen variants and your golden. Some good games are : doom RPG 2 and Wolfenstein RPG, literally any game by digital chocolate.
thanks a lot for recommandation, sea of stars and pizza tower look 👌! and yeah my machine isn't capable to run bigger 3d games. Lol.
Check out Spiritfarer. I loved it
I finished that last week, and yeah, it’s wonderful.
Have fun!
Ooh Night in the Woods was good.
Gregg rulz ok
Die Anywhere Else is forever a banger
Knife fight!!!
I loved To The Moon, which fits your requirements, I think. The sequels are fine, but the stories are pretty well standalone, so you could play just the first one and leave it at that. And it’s only £1.70.
Would recommend Chrono Trigger, as the story progresses you get stronger as you progress naturally even though there is an XP system.
Chrono Trigger in fact is a grindfest as beating the game without doing all equipment related sidequests is very hard and for most people - impossible. Additionally I also consider figuring out and searching for stuff in jRPGs as a grind.
Heh? It didn't feel like a grindfest for me at all. I just look around a lot while playing in general, and i recall there being quite a lot of loot available everywhere i walked. Maybe it's because of the way i played it idk
I never played it but you may as well add Firewatch to your list.
Check out Kentucky Route Zero it seems to be what you're looking for, maybe.
I'm hit or miss when it comes to walking sim games but I really enjoyed firewatch
if you liked LIMBO you should definitely play INSIDE
