looks like you covered a lot of them OP I'd throw in Dragon's Dogma, Kingdom Come, The Last Guardian, Ghost of a Tale, Arx Fatalis, maybe even Death Stranding

You missed Okami. I'd argue it's a bigger adventure than most on that list.
Mass Effect 1 is pretty cozy, the sense of adventure isn’t emulated or even aimed for in the sequels.
William Jenkins
I'd say Mafia 1+2.

The only thing I want out of life is to be able to go back to being 16 and playing Oblivion for the first time again. I have never enjoyed a game as much as Oblivion. It was the first open world western style rpg that I had ever played, it was the single best looking 360 game and it had thousands of hours of content. Every time I try to play it now I get a huge wave of depression knowing that the best year of my life is over and everything from here on until I die is just going to be pure hell.

This is a very sad post

Oops btw, by bigger adventure, I didn't mean longer with more content. I meant the sense of adventure. The journey and it's fun little characters, story, world. When it ends, it's the type of game that leaves you wanting more OR happy/fulfilled that you completed such a gem.

INFRA as a contemporary adventure.
Jose Robinson
Outer Wilds was the last game I beat and it scratched that exact itch.

>Every time I try to play it now I get a huge wave of depression knowing that the best year of my life is over and everything from here on until I die is just going to be pure hell you must be doing some really bad choices with your life

I was a gambling addict, but now I live with my parents. Life is so painful and I honestly am grateful for this virus. I pray every day that I die in the pain of intubation as I deserve.

watching my older brother play it when he brought his 360 over is an extremely nostalgic memory for me. being ignorant of how it all worked gave it this heightened sense of intoxicating mystery n atmosphere. games just arent as absorbing now that i know how it all works. fuck. :( if i stay alive long enough to be an old man maybe ill be able to recapture that feeling with the dementia n all.
i like how they tried to make the first 2 feel more authentic and less videogamey. based game deserves more exposure. need a meme youtuber to review it so the Yas Forumsedditors can fund loiste's future. i remember playing it and getting turned off by the random encounters. think i'll give it another go tho, never really understood why everyone likes mount and blade so much. it was alright to boot up a few times just to experience the large scale battle, but after you've experienced one you've experienced all of them. seems like a mindlessly repetitive game that people forgive the flaws of because nobody else has tried to make something similar
What about story games where your objective is to get from A to B (for mundane reasons even), but it's a journey along the way? No heroic journey to save the world or stop the villain, just a journey with encounters and side tracks.

I want something like that in a medieval fantasy setting. Going on a journey for x reason (pilgrimage, delivering something and so on), but not super special reason. With shenanigans along the way.
Grayson Harris
What exploration lol? It's literally just copy paste planets with nothing on it. You can literally just download the UE4 SDK and have a better time exploring.
>Every time I try to play it now I get a huge wave of depression knowing that the best year of my life is over and everything from here on until I die is just going to be pure hell. You don't know that. You have no idea.
Cameron Robinson
That's a bit rough on ya mate... not much a Yas Forumstard can do but don't be too hard on ye self

Blake Garcia
ive been wanting to try playing Outward. is it worth it?
Aaron Jenkins
Because of the mods, that's why it's popular Base game isn't all that interesting
Charles Turner
is there even a chance that a game one day will match the feels given by even a single film in the LotR trilogy? I just don't think it's possible; closest I think we've got is SotC
