Hey all, I’m on the hunt for games that really suck you into their world, the kind where you look up and suddenly three hours have gone by.

Games I’ve loved and couldn’t put down:

  • Plague Tale
  • Horizon
  • Subnautica
  • Mass Effect
  • Expedition 33
  • Homeworld

Doesn’t matter the gente, as long as it’s got that vibe where you just exist in the atmosphere and forget about everything else.

What are your go-to games when you want to disappear into another world? Bonus appreciation if it’s something underrated or off the beaten path.

Edit: Thank you all. I will definitely keep this thread bookmarked. You all dwarved what I found on Reddit ir any other platform! Well done!

      I’m on my third playthrough. Mods to add immersion, nothing more

      Turned the hud and mini map off and walk everywhere within the city. For the first time in hundreds of hours, I’m actually learning the city instead of following lines.

      This is by far my favourite playthrough. Maxed out street cred before meeting Panam.

      I heard someone say how amazing it was to turn off all the visual clutter and they were so right.

      What a game!

      Had to look up “preem.”

      Learned something I won’t be able to use much.

        Cyberpunk has a whole layer of simplified English and futuristic slang that just kinda makes sense
