Looking for a game to tide me over until Starfield...

I've played all the Bethesda RPGs, played Witcher 3/2, played all the Mass Effect games, played RD2, played all the darksouls and elden ring, didnt like Sekiro

Finished the Deus Ex games, both shadow of mordor/war

Finished Prey, and dishonored 1, didnt like dishonored 2 for some reason Finished the Batman arkham games

Finished Far cry games up to 5, didnt like 5 or 6

Played Diablo 4 recently which was fun but got bored of it at lvl 55

Tried Horizon ZD, didnt like it

Looking for either an RPG I can get lost in, or a game with polished systems/gameplay-loop that I can dig into

Anyone have any suggestions for an RPG turn-based strategy game?

I have recently found a lot of joy playing turn based strategy. So far played DOS2, Xcom 2 and Wastelands 3.

I loved all of them and looking for something similar but there seems to be few and far between.

I already know about Baldur’s Gate 3 but I am waiting for the full release.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns I also know about but not interested simply because it’s Marvel. Between all the shows, moves and games I’m a bit exhausted of it.

Any other suggestions? I loved the idea of building my own character, class etc.

EDIT: no anime art styles games.

Looking for games my boyfriend and I can play together, co-op or multiplayer. We're looking to find new games in genres we've played or explore some new genres we haven't played as much. We mostly use Steam or Epic Games, but also have Blizzard and EA accounts as well.

Looking for co-op or multiplayer games my boyfriend and I can play together.

We've played games like Overwatch, Dying Light, A Way Out, It Takes Two, Unravel Two, and various other games. We've enjoyed puzzle games, mystery games, action games, shooters and the like, but we'd like to branch out as well.

We played but didn't enjoy CS:GO, Valorant, Paladins, Splitgate, and Fortnite. Super competitive games usually don't work out for us.

Willing to buy cheaper games.

We both have PCs.

WSIB for my wife if she loves Life's Strange, Detroit Become Human, etc?

Hey, sub! How you doing? A little help here. (FYI, I'm on PS4).

Me and my wife really like games like Life's Strange, Detroit Become Human, Beyond Two Souls, and the likes.

We've played all Life's Strange games (the first and the second games are our favorite story-wise); Detroit Become Human (maybe the best Quantic Dreams game IMO), Beyond Two Souls (her indisputable favorite), Heavy Rain...

Especially ones that have multiple choices that change the outcome of the story.

We've never played Until Dawn and similar games because she's not that into that particular horror genre. Do you think it's worth the shot or they aren't exactly the genre I'm describing?

What other games do you know in this genre?

WSIB for a cozy, relaxing game about cleaning/repairing/building or doing simple tasks

I just want to play a game similar in vibes to Powerwash sim, House flipper, etc.

I have played: Terraria, Minecraft, Powerwash sim, House flipper, PC building sim, an hour of Stardew, No Man's Sky (wasnt too keen of it), Dwarf Fortress, and cities: skylines

I am NOT looking for a survival game ala minecraft or terraria. I would like mechanics like money management and/or resource management.

[WSIB] Looking for a Third-Person, RPG or RPG/MMO game like Elden Ring, New World etc. to sink hours into.

Hey, been looking for a game like Elden Ring or New World that is in Third-Person mode.

I really like Elden Ring gameplay but couldn't get into it as I find it too hard. I thought New World is the game for me, but it really lacks alot of things like mounts, endgame. Looking for something else. I'd prefer it to be a multiplayer game, but singleplayer games are okay too.

Games I've played:

God Of War.

Guild Wars 2. (got bored of the same old abilities.)

Darksiders series.

Monsterhunter series. (didn't enjoy the anime style.)

Genshin Impact (loved the gameplay, couldn't get into the anime style.)

Neverwinter.

Devil May Cry 5.

SIB The Witcher 3 if I liked GOW 2018 and Ghost of Tsushima but found hzd boring

I'm just finishing up GOW 2018 and I'm really enjoying it. The combat and characters are the most enjoyable aspects of the game for me and I'm looking for a similar experience. I played Horizon Zero Dawn too, but found most of the game to be boring and repetitive, especially the "go there and get this thing" type quests. Would The Witcher 3 be a good pick for me?

Here are some of the games that I've enjoyed:

Ghost of Tsushima
God of War 2018
Subnautica and Subnutica BZ
Hollow Knight
Outer Wilds
Stray
