For me it's first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they're open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that's stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Stealth games. The last one for me was MGS5, I loved it even with its shaky story line. Hitman is really nice but it feels more like a puzzle game if that makes sense.

I concur. Hitman can be a somewhat true stealth game but the design steers you away from "free form" stealth with its mission stories. I like the idea but the puzzles are too small, few short steps to the goal.

I hope for Metal Gear Delta to succeed, not only because I have a soft spot for MGS3 but also to revive the genre.

Rhythm Games like Guitar Hero, Band Hero and DJ Hero. Those were fun.

Party-based RPGs like Baldur's Gate or Pillars of Eternity. I absolutely love this style of game, but it feels like there are precious few titles to choose from. Anyone know of any hidden gems?

Have you checked out Pathfinder Kingmaker and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous? Those are relatively new.

Things like C&C. If you know current ones, let me know. I didn't really research anymore. Most of what I've seen in the past had some random new spin on it.

Friend of mine just released Terrytorial Disputes. Not exactly C&C, but heavily inspired with a mix of tower defense. It's got a free demo if you want to check it out

Hmm, tbh I'd like something with more refreshed graphics :) But it certainly looks like CNC, even the logo, haha. I'll may still take a look.

I've heard good things about Beyond All Reason, although I haven't had a chance to properly try it myself yet.

[–] EtzBetz@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Screenshots look interesting. I'll may take a look, thanks :)
