Gaming

Games like whatever tf Jet Set Radio Future is

Also collect-a-thon platformers like back in the day, I still really enjoy those.

RPGs in the style of the Ultima games, specifically ones that use a keyword-based conversion system. Aside from the Ultima series itself, the only other examples I know of that use a system like this are Cythera - a 1990s Macintosh shareware game that was very similar to Ultima 6 and 7 - and The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind.

Tower Defense Games

Linear First Person Puzzle Games

The Settlers games have not been Settlers games after the fourth one. Except of course the remake, but that also was a very long time ago.

As an RTS player who only ever plays for the story and does not care about multiplayer at all, new RTS games with a decent story and gameplay are kind of thin on the ground these days.

I can't even play C&C RA2 anymore because I can't get it to run on my PC. Tried several guides, but it refuses to run properly.

Things like C&C. If you know current ones, let me know. I didn't really research anymore. Most of what I've seen in the past had some random new spin on it.

I love this thread, so many people are recommending games to each other. Nice to see.

My answer is games like Skyrim where it's a sandbox but you can pick up different quests. I know there's a proper name for them but it escapes me.

I know there's GTA which is a similar type but I want a more twee fantasy vibe

Music games that are based around a story, like Parappa the Rapper/Um Jammer Lammy, Gitaroo Man 🎵💖
