Hey all, I’m on the hunt for games that really suck you into their world, the kind where you look up and suddenly three hours have gone by.

Games I’ve loved and couldn't put down:

  • Plague Tale
  • Horizon
  • Subnautica
  • Mass Effect
  • Expedition 33
  • Homeworld

Doesn’t matter the gente, as long as it’s got that vibe where you just exist in the atmosphere and forget about everything else.

What are your go-to games when you want to disappear into another world? Bonus appreciation if it’s something underrated or off the beaten path.

Edit: Thank you all. I will definitely keep this thread bookmarked. You all dwarved what I found on Reddit ir any other platform! Well done!

I just finished Kingdom come Deliverance, and I plan on starting the sequel tomorrow. I really connected with my Henry.

    Ohoho, if you enjoyed the first game the second will be a treat. I recently started replaying the first and was surprised at how janky the mechanics snd progression felt compared to the sequel. Enjoy!

    Thanks, but that plan sort of fell apart.

    I downloaded #2 from Gamepass, and after firing a handful of bolts from what looked a lot like the walls of Talmburg, my game crashed.

    So I tried again, and it crashed again.

    I have a theory that there was a defect in the first batch of Series Xs that causes most 3D First person games to crash. I've had the issue with many games but off the top of my head I remember having major issues with Starfield, Borderlands 4, The medieval Doom, Avowed, and now KCD2.

    So, I started playing Black Jacket instead. Seems alright so far. I'd recommend checking it out if you're a fan of Slay the spire, Inscryption, or Balatro.
