Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? (lemmy.zip)

Stolen from myself 6 months ago at https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.zip/post/35616522

I know I remember seeing some people talk about how nice some of the environments in Hitman were, and that they'd just walk around as a tourist from time to time, treating it like a walking simulator/virtual tourism thing instead of the stealth assassination game it is. Curious about other things like that, where you play a game totally differently than it was meant to be played.

That way of playing Stellaris sounds really cool! It makes me want to install Stellaris again

    Don't do it. It's a turned base game that artificially stretches itself into an RTS in order to fool you into thinking there's more complexity than there is. Each playthrough should take 30% of the time that it does because the devs are aware they've created a spreadsheet game and are trying to hide that fact.
