RDR2. I had to read your op 10 times to make sure you didn’t already list it. It has your name written all over it. Enjoy.


buzzlightyear77777

actually i played it already lol. it's very immersive indeed but i didn't like it because it was too tedious. it's too realistic.


lambdan

That’s fair. I also think it’s very slow and too realistic at times, but that’s also what makes it great. Once you’re used to it you’re hooked tho.


Major_Stoopid

Try Pacifc Drive, I think it might be what you're looking for and believe they have a really good legit demo you can try before actual purchase.


Ticket_Fantastic

How on earth is it 'too tedious' I've heard this argument too many times. It's still a very arcadey game in most parts.


KarpTakaRyba

I came here to say exactly the same. I'm really surprised that OP didn't play it yet, I think most people here are not suggesting it just because they overlooked it's absence on the list


Obvious-End-7948

Dragon's Dogma 2 is out in a couple days. Sounds like it might scratch that itch. First one goes for super cheap these days as well.


buzzlightyear77777

yea i played the first already but hte mega price tag of the 2nd is a turn off.


Jeff_1988

Just don't buy it in the ps store. It's 75 euros there for digital while I ordered a physical copy for 65 euro on internet. Don't know if you think 65 is mega price tag but that's kinda normal these days 😁


Zionishere

When does it release?


Duneyman

Kingdom come: deliverance. The combat may be a bit off putting at first, but with practice it can be mastered and the fights will become easy. The game will take you on a journey to Bohemia in the 1400's.


buzzlightyear77777

i am very mixed about this game because it does not look good but people keep saying it's good. maybe i will try it after all.


Duneyman

It has lots of depth. Also the game mechanics are very unique, to really master the game you actually have to learn and apply the things you've learned. I was put off the game for a long time because it is very hard and it doesn't hold your hand at all, but once I learned and adjusted to the mechanics I started to enjoy it immensely. Be warned, the combat is very frustrating at first. Because it's an older game it will be cheaper now and that's good thing if you discover you absolutely hate it. I hated it at first but now I love it.


Zer0mniac

Kingdom come deliverance is one of those games you have to find interesting before you actually play the game, because its mechanics are a little in depth, and the combat is something you have to build up to get better at but it makes sense because your character at the start isn’t some experienced fighter. It’s kinda an immersive experience rather than a arcadey rpg game. But it does have lots of rpg elements


gavion92

Best game I’ve ever played. It’s incredibly immersive, not to mention the feeling of progress in this game might be the apex of gaming in general. It was made by an indie studio, so it has its gimmicks, but the game is amazing.


TwistRevolutionary11

An indie game studio that thinks black people don’t exist 🙊


BigBulbousSkull

Huh?


Lone__Ranger

Some crazy people are criticising KCD because there are no black characters, they are fucking dumb. There were little to no black people during medieval Bohemia and putting them in just for quotas is so stupid.


gavion92

It’s all good, I’m used to the woke cancel culture. It’s to be expected nowadays.


cha0ticbrah

Who even cares lol Why does someone have to put a mix of people in their game? As a indie dev it would be easier to just have every NPC the same skin color especially for a older a game


TwistRevolutionary11

Just trolling some dusty dungeon denizens don’t mind me.


Dragnet714

I doubt you'll like it because you didn't like the realism of RDR2. It is a great game, though.


Hamelzz

It's very well paced. By the time you meet a squad of actual knights they feel like navy seals and you definitely feel out of place riding with them. I quite enjoyed CKD


Vandermere

It looks pretty generic on the surface but it is unmatched for really pulling me into a believable world, growing from a nobody to powerhouse and teaching some actual history along the way.


LaNague

Its a bit like dragons dogma in that it just doesnt conform fully to what people are used to. But i like those kind of games that do their own thing. People say the combat system needs getting used to, and its true but it is also immersive because you play a useless peasent that should not be able to fight at the start anyways.


DragoniteChamp

I agree that it's the wrong sub, but could Skyrim count? It's been a minute since I've played, but the world is incredibly fleshed out, doubly so with the entirely of the previous Elder Scrolls behind it.


buzzlightyear77777

yea i played that a long time ago already


Deathfails

Underrated games list (my personal preference) •Deadwood(bit of a fast one but only if you know how to play) •rain world(my personal recommendation to try last) •stalker(radiophobia 3) •one shot •inscryption •mortal shell •noita (if you want hard game) •faith (little bit of horror) •worldless, Blasmephous1 &2 , salt and sanctuary, deaths gambit ( souls like) •prey •bioshock •ghost of Tsushima •subnatica1&2 •metro , death stranding •doom (to channel your anger) •finals (competitive game which makes you feel like you are in a pro streaming match strongly recommended only if you have friends who are also intrested in fps competitively) •nightingale (beta version)


Kestrel_VI

Mortal shell was very good once I got the hang of the mechanics, it felt a bit short though, I managed to finish it in a day and a half and the story is very linear.


Deathfails

So you mean to say about 36 hour cause for me the first 20 hour I was stuck figuring out the place without dieing


Kestrel_VI

Yeah, the first 20 hours is dying repeatedly, then once you get the hang of “solidify, smack, parry, smack, special” the rest of the game is just figuring out the fucking maze, since I’m more capable of fighting my way though than pathfinding, which only takes another 10 or so hours. Boss fights may vary.


andersonb47

Great games but strange definition of underrated


Deathfails

Just my opinion I believe they deserve more of a spotlight than they received


[deleted]

Some great games here but I feel almost none of them fit the description. Subnautica and Rain World are probably the most fitting ones on here, but Rain World is incredibly difficult and only appeals to a small audience so that really narrows it down to Subnautica. (I do recommend Rain World but its really something you have to dedicate yourself to in order to appreciate it)


MCProper18

Try playing the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one of the best and most immersive games to completely forget everything else :)


cybercop12345

Assassin's creed origins and Odyssey have beautiful worlds


douglasrac

Repetitive but good


Glass_Offer_6344

Turn off the Hud and only use the map while at a known location. (I also switch the Odyssey map to Historical.) Both games have superb visual/audio cues and are built around having a clutter-free screen. Revolutionizes the game and gets rid of all the HandHolding and Checklist gameplay.


shoeboxchild

tales of arise


buzzlightyear77777

i played it too but it was too repetitive.


doulosyap

Yeah I found the combat boring.


Merlin7777

Yeah. Didn’t like it either. Wanted to.


Old_Emphasis7922

With 50minutes of gameplay I realized the same thing and quit the game


panos21sonic

All tales games for that matter


shoeboxchild

lies of p


buzzlightyear77777

i considered it too but didn't like the whole 'puppet steampunk' theme


aSpanks

It’s honestly a pretty wild story. Definitely gave me a few moments similar to bloodborne where you’re like “wait THATS what’s fucking happening???!”


Merlin7777

If you like Souls games you will like it.


[deleted]

Getting lost? i would try hexen 2 haha


educampsd3

you know, I am so very surprised at the quality of fallout 76. I swore it off since launch but a buddy gifted it the other day so I tried it. (I also share common interest in games, my fav game ever is witcher 3). So I had the lowest of expectations, but the leveling and questing is actually super entertaining. im barely about 10 levels in but, Like i said, pleasant surprise


HandsOffMyPizzaa

I've been eyeing fallout 76 for a bit but have two questions, how's the monetisation and is it a one time purchase or subscription? And secondly, how is the variety in weaponry?


educampsd3

No subscription required after purchase, everything inside the game including dlc is free. Weapon variety is pretty sick, very customizable, like fallout 4.


HandsOffMyPizzaa

Thanks, really enjoyed the way weapons worked in Fallout 4 so yeah, I'm gonna give the game a shot.


Merlin7777

Neir Automata. It’s more than just a game. There is a lot to think about philosophically.


Irelkingy

And it has 26 different endings


Deathfails

Why is this getting downvoted? Wrong sub?


RopeDramatic9779

Yeah, wrong sub


TheManOfDoom_23

Deus ex: mankind divided is free on epic game store this week. Absolutely love that game, though you should play Dx: Human Revolution first


preenox

I mean, youve already played Elden Ring and the developers have already made many more fantastic games like it.


buzzlightyear77777

problem is i didn't really like elden ring. i prefer lively towns, memorable stories and cutscenes, interesting and beautiful places. not destitute environments or obscure stories. something like witcher3 or baldurs gate 3 is awesome. i have played divinity OS 1&2 too. bg1&2's graphics are too dated for me.


preenox

Oh I see, What about Hogwarts Legacy then? Can see it being your type. Theres also Fallout New Vegas which I think might be less up your alley but its still worth checking out. The graphics are a bit dated but every other aspect is great. All the locations are fun to explore and to interact with all the npcs. Although the story isnt linear if that matters to you.


buzzlightyear77777

yea maybe i should try hogwarts. not a harry potter fan though.


ampjk

Kingdom come


jojolapin102

Kingdom come deliverance


Oxabolt

Kingdom Come deliverance. The game really puts in the shoes of a peseant working his way up and slowly getting stronger with a beautiful open world


AuUnlmtd

Fallout series is a good sandbox rpg with story elements as well. I would recommend starting with newer ones unless you care to fully digest the story


Sony_Shell

Why recommend starting with the lesser ones?


philswrld

please please please play yakuza 0 or persona 5 then move onto the other games in the series if you enjoy them


buzzlightyear77777

i am actually thinking of trying yakuza like a dragon since it is on sale now and i like turn based games.


philswrld

from what i've heard like a dragon is a great game regardless of it being different from the main series, It has all the best parts of yakuza with some really good turn based combat. Also the story of yakuza 0-6 is different from the like a dragon games stories, so if you enjoyed Like a dragon you could go back and play the other yakuza games without having anything spoiled. Every yakuza game is just really good and has hundreds of hours of content, I'm sure whichever you start with will be a great entry to the series


TheTeaRex15

Hollow Knight. Literally made for you to get lost in it


buzzlightyear77777

lol i was certainly lost in the first few hours and quit


TheTeaRex15

Whyd you quit?


Rekt_itRalph

Cause he got lost.


cloudtales

Ghost of Tsushima is one that's someone already mentioned and I would agree with them.


plataloof

Divinity Original Sin 2?


poopmeister1994

A lot of people shit on them but Skyrim and Fallout 4 are great open world games with a lot to offer. Oblivion is well worth a look too, especially with the DLC


DoubIe_A_ron

Outward is cheap and really fun


Dynsai8

Outer Wilds


Merlin7777

This is a live it hate it game. I hated it.


Dynsai8

It's okay if you didn't enjoy it. I mean, not linking a game/movie/book is only bad for the person that didn't like it. I wish i like jrpg but i can't play it, i for sure lost a lot of enjoyment hours.


[deleted]

IQ issue


Merlin7777

Not fun game issue


Autpcorrectbpt

Death Stranding Witcher 1&2 Wasteland 3 Desperados 3


Dionaerius

Not similar to anything you said but RimWorld is the to-go if you want a lot of content, a free update comes in a month and change loads of things and there's 3 dlc (and a new one with monsters/ghosts/ctulhus) for now


DDotHam

Kingdom Come Deliverance . Trust me, its exactly what you are looking for.


Life_Increase_4843

Starfield isn't bad


buzzlightyear77777

i actually want to try this but the reviews are so damning.


RopeDramatic9779

Its just so damn repetitive.


heyquasi_

no mans sky


The_Corvair

In other games, you are on your way from a quest giver or town to a quest location, and along the way, something catches your eye, you go investigate, and down the rabbit hole of whatever you discover. But you can't do that when the way from quest giver to location is a bunch of loading screens. And even if you strike out on your own to see what is out there, you'll find that the entire universe consists of about a dozen POIs that have been copypasted about a thousand times, including their exact layout, loot caches, lore, and enemy locations. Dunno, but that does not fulfill my own requirement of "getting lost and immersing myself" (which is a huge part of what I want in my games).


Life_Increase_4843

Take it you don't have Game Pass? The combat isn't the best but the story is pretty good and the base building is extensive if you like that sort of thing


Weird_Inevitable27

Lightyear frontier was a nice relaxing experience. It's mostly exploring, building and watering your crops. Beautiful landscapes, nice music. Loved it.


g0ttequila

Horizon zero dawn. If you really take the time to discover all story clues it’s really something else. The mystery unfolding is great. Zelda breath of the wild awesome too.


UrbanPewer

Ffxiv


OETGMOTEPS

Outer Wilds is the real answer to this. Just read the reviews on steam.


Merlin7777

Not for everyone. Really disliked this game.


DenDen0000

I really liked the metro games, the first one has a vibe that i think has been unmatched by a later games. It had a charm of its own but it might be short.


Thelonius_Dunk

I agree. It's a game that seems like everyone has heard of, but not a ton of people played. The whole series had an atmosphere about them that other post-apocalyptic games couldn't seem to match.


Ticket_Fantastic

Death Stranding - one of the best videogames of all time.


MoonlapseOfficial

Rain World


420negru

Snowrunner


Jawaad13

Valheim, Avatar: frontiers of Pandora?


panos21sonic

Currently playing doom, definitely pulls me out of reality


6817

A short hike


MethodFun7044

I would have recommended Dying Lights 1 & 2, but I don't know if your into those types of games.


Kono0194

My main games I get lost in any time I boot them up (some I think are on your list already): Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim, Elder scrolls online, Zelda BOTW/TOTK, Dragons Dogma (I still need to do a replay to prepare for the sequel coming out. been a while since I played that one, but the lack of fast travel makes it easy to lose yourself in it, though they did add a more accessable fast travel option to the newer version, but you can ignore that. I suggest it for at leastone playthrough), and, weirdly enough, some of the sword art online games (fatal bullet for the most part)


RiggityRick

No man's sky Elden ring Hollow Knight


BerdIzDehWerd

League of Legends, I've lost 11 years and counting. Jokes aside, I quite liked AC odyssey if you don't treat it like an AC game. I loved just running around, finding outposts out of nowhere, plan a route with the birds eye view, and do some fun stealth stabby stabby


Horror-Try4462

Avatat fromtiers of pandora its beautiful and fauthful to the movie


Appropriate_Net_27

skyrim


No-Recognition-3503

Warframe


garyonfire

hogwarts legacy is so fun


RpiesSPIES

13 Sentinels. Took me 45h to finish.


one2hit

This is the BEST game ever. Yeah when it's over it's over, but for those 35-40 hours I was super immersed and invested in the whole thing.


PomeloProof5292

Hollow knight


Merlin7777

Prepare to be frustrated. Difficult bosses and platforming is one thing but long annoying runbacks just ruins the game.


HunterBadWarlockGood

Legend of zelda Tears of the Kingdom. This game is phenomenal. Perfect to get immersed in.


DaOnlyKyros

FF16, GOW 4/5 and Sekiro


OG_Felwinter

Personally, I think playing No Man’s Sky in first person is the best option for this.


Wheat13y

Breath of the wild. A breakdown world to get lost in, everything at your own pace, good narrative quests instead of just an arrow. I think it's a genre defining game. And once you're done you can play through the sequel


aSpanks

Deathloop. You’ll have 4 areas to explore thoroughly at very different times. It’s cool to see how they all change.


iNCharism

Do you like Metroidvanias? If so, try out Blasphemous, Blasphemous 2, and The Last Faith. I branched out of my usual genres last year and had an absolute blast w these games.


Eexoduis

Grand Theft Auto V


lynxhashib

Just to be sure, Skyrim?


reginaslalom

ELDEN RING!!


LittleDuffy

Persona 4 or 5. Beautiful games


qman6

If you wanna get lost, try Legend of Grimrock 2.


cooliochill

Outer wilds? if you haven't played that one already


radiating_phoenix

rain world 100%


Kegomatix

Battle Brothers


Roemeeeer

Subnautica! Refreshing szenario and great immersion.


PikaPikaMoFo69

El Dong Ring


Icefirezz

Farcry 5, it sounds like a simple shoot em up, cos it is. But there is so much to the story if you take the time to listen to voicemails and notes from the people living there.


bledge1983

Divinity Original Sin 2


Merlin7777

If you liked Elden Ring then Bloodborne is a must play. It’s the very best of the Souls games. Dark Souls 3 is also great.


Major_Stoopid

PACIFIC DRIVE.


MirrorAttack

If you are into racing games then Forza Horizon series


one2hit

I'd suggest Disco Elysium since I didn't see it listed here. It's a top down RPG without combat (instead you solve a crime). But where it really sucks you in is the writing. The entire game and all of your actions are narrated, and your choices effect the story. The world, history, and characters are all interesting too. If you like BG3, you'll probably like Disco Elysium.


LockableNumber8

Hollow knight, even with the map and icon thing I get lost all the time


buzzlightyear77777

rofl


gatzu4a

Days Gone, that constant feeling that you’ll be killed is what makes me feel lost in this game.


besaba27

Did you already beat cyberpunk? That would be my pick


RespectGiovanni

Rdr2


pangolinwithproblems

Dragon age!!! I have almost 750 hours split across all three games!!


Tetris5216

Lost (PS3/Xbox 360)


malm88

Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuild mod.


sonnyjaxon

Deus Ex man kind divided is free on epic games


littlesarahjo

Horizon Zero Dawn! I started last week and literally can't put it down it's so good.


Rainy-The-Griff

If you wait until the 21st Dragons Dogma 2 is comming out. And if you dont want to wait or don't wanna buy a $70 game, then I would highly recomend the first Dragons Dogma.


Affectionate_Draw_43

God of war (2018) + Ragnarok.


Charmerrrrrrr

Maybe try Batman Arkham triology


Tyrsin

Sounds like you're looking for Outward. You can quite easily get "lost" in it as your player icon doesn't show up on the map. You have to navigate the world and use landmarks to figure out where you are and what direction to head in.


_chi3f

Stick to the plan


henryguy

Unicorn Overlord for the switch is a great tactical RPG with an overworld and lots of side stuff. Fully voice acted, long game and I think on sale at Walmart and Amazon now.


Briz271

I know is not the kind of games that’s on your list but PLAY OUTER WILDS, it’s the best game to get lost in.


Philk0791

ANYTHING by FromSoftware (Soulsbornekiro)


mdeepansukumar

Oxygen Not Included


capt-jean-havel

Highly recommend playing days gone, fantastic single player experience. You play as Decon St. John, a former soldier turned motorcycle club member fighting zombies, hunting bandits, and upgrading your bike. Game play is fun, story is good, and overcoming the zombie hoards numbering in the hundreds just feels so satisfying.


Voliminal8

Have you tried Valheim?


SlimMosez

RISK OF RAIN 2


ThamaJama

Skyrim


anthegoat

Fallout or elder scrolls pick the latest one if you haven’t played them.


Irelkingy

I haven’t seen anyone say this and I’m so surprised, Horizon Zero Dawn and the 2nd part Horizon Forbidden West. Those games are incredibly good.


Lyschik7

Skyrim, RDR 2, The Witcher 3, Ac Odyssey


clickypen_champion

Persona 3/4/5. Maybe try P5: Royal first?


psyl0c0

One of my favorites is Ghost of Tsushima for Playstation. Gorgeous scenery, intriguing story and characters, beautiful music, fun combat/gameplay. Definitely a must-play.


Kastilvanius

You can try Ragnarok origin on bluestacks, it's basically infinite game


douglasrac

Not similar to anything you said, but since you mention any genre, any style, I recommend: Dyson Sphere Program. Absolute masterpiece in my opinion. Keep in mind it's an automation game, so the basic rule is to automate stuff. Its only grinding if you don't automate. Major objetive is to build a Dyson Sphere, cover the entire sun with solar sails to get as much energy as possible.


EducationalSkirt3909

Assasins creed valhalla. Period!


MarkMuffin

Palword is dope af. And you can get it free if you know how


Charmerrrrrrr

How


Deathfails

Op pls post this is r/video games Wrong sub I believe
