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
I’m on Linux and macOS.
Firewatch
Well-made story-focused, no combat whatsoever. Very few puzzles, almost exclusively about exploring.
What Remains of Edith Finch
More “puzzley”, but lets you discover things at your own pace.
Both look very good, thank you!
