I’m a non-gamer looking for recommendations please. I saw the Quake II refresh and it makes me want to explore/roam some 3D environments again. But I’m really not into the intensity of any of the shooting games.
Tomb Raider was fun but I found combat hard to control.
Half-Life had great environments but too much shooting for me.
Portal was great fun but I eventually found it repetitive.
Beyond a Steel Sky is one of my favorites although the pace of exploration is a bit slower than others.
I’m tempted to give a game like Myst a try but the puzzles sound a bit too involved for me. Basically something without much stress or excessive friction against exploration of the environment. Thanks
If you're looking for story, the Life is Strange games are always good.
There are 4 of them, and the order of release is:
Life is Strange
Life is Strange: Before the Storm
Life is Strange 2
Life is Strange: True Colors
You can play them in order or pick any ones that you want, with the exception of Before the Storm, which should be played after the original game.
I've never seen anything like this before, great suggestion, thanks!
