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!


“Realistic” is used very favorably in this case… I get what you mean: Henry’s story feels plausible enough to suck you in and I don’t mean this as a critique. But it is in no way realistic: Henry starts as a smiths son and is pretty useless at everything but he becomes a proficient fighter in the story and as far as I remember pretty influential. This is extremely unrealistic for his timeline because social mobility in the late middle ages was very much on existent.
To be fair there are some examples from the middle ages where common people achieve great power in times of trouble.
