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.

Which games blow your mind, but only if you know nothing about them in advance?

Best examples I can think of are:

  • Outer Wilds
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • The Stanley Parable

What are yours?

warframe used to be. but it's near-impossible now to start & get through even the first major 'holyshit' moment without having it at least partially spoiled before hand.

Nothing will ever match the effect The Second Dream had on me. This Is What You Are still sends shivers down my spine

I've tried to get back into it a few times, but there's just so much new stuff that it's hard to pick it back up

sorry, but online free-to-play disqualifies it for me.

TBF, Warframe was far from a free-to-play tier experience, at least back when I played it. The Second Dream is still my favorite story quest in any game I've ever played

Seconding this. It's really an exception to the rule in every way. Pretty much an exception to every rule really for better or worse, the game barely tries to be liked or to even make itself comprehensible.

You have warframes, the tenno, flying wings that attach to your character in space and in the open worlds, capital ship combat, the necromechs, the hoverboards, fishing, rougelike world, pets, soon also the protoframes with their AK-47s, an insane story involving truly Kojima-esque named characters like The Man In The Wall and maybe gay love(?) and some character choices like the one with the hole for a face, bird, or brutalism.

You don't even have to play it multiplayer either. You can solo just about everything.

Doki is free to play. DotA is online and free to play.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. You see the difference?

Between what?
