Hello everyone

I recently upgraded my PC and I'm excited to explore new games that can take advantage of my improved hardware. Previously, my old PC was limited, and I had to be selective about the games I played. I also have a Steam Deck, but I'm looking for offline single-player experiences on my PC.

I'm looking for games that offer an unforgettable experience and high replay value. I enjoy open-world games that give me the freedom to explore, similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I know it's not a PC game, but it gives you an idea of my playstyle.

Here are some games I've enjoyed in the past:

ā€¢ The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - My favorite game, I love the freedom to explore without being bound to quests.

ā€¢ Far Cry 3 - Great open-world experience that didn't get boring.

ā€¢ NieR: Automata - Engaging story, but it got a bit repetitive.

ā€¢ Scarlet Nexus - Great story, high replay value, and a beautiful world, although it can be repetitive.

ā€¢ ULTRAKILL - Challenging and high replay value.

ā€¢ Portal 2 - High replay value.

ā€¢ Portal 1 - Enjoyed it, but didn't love it.

ā€¢ Subnautica - Absolutely loved it.

ā€¢ The Witcher 3 - Didn't enjoy it, but I'm giving it another try soon.

ā€¢ Doom Eternal - Liked it.

ā€¢ Horizon Zero Dawn - It's an average game, with a mid-story and a beautiful world.

For me, a good story is often the top priority, but I also enjoy games like Breath of the Wild where I can relax and play without thinking too hard.

If you're curious about my specs, here they are:

New PC:

ā€¢ CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core

ā€¢ GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

ā€¢ RAM: 64GB DDR5 Memory

Old PC: ā€¢ GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB

ā€¢ CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz

ā€¢ RAM: 4GB DDR3 Memory

I'd appreciate any game recommendations that fit my preferences.

Edit: Thanks already for the recommendations, I might also add, that I love the Halo games. Except the newer ones.

Ghost of Tsushima is amazing! Iā€™m not usually the biggest open world fan, but that one really worked for me
