I have had playstation for a while, but aside from Petz, Rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims <4 I never had a pc that could handle games.

I was gifted a used custom gaming PC cuz the owner was getting a new one! I have an $80 steam gift card I’d love to spend on multiple pop culture classic games I’ve missed out on and can only enjoy on PC/Xbox… my favorite are 3rd person rpg with exploration as an important element in learning about the lore/story. Some sort of reward for exploring thar isn’t loot.

Games I loved

  • Control

  • Horizon zero dawn

  • Persona 5/royal Those three are S tier life changing, think about forever types

  • Bishop trilogy (2 is best @me bro)

  • P5 strikers

  • Persona 4 golden

  • Final fantasy, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15

  • Catherine Full Body

  • Alan Wake

  • Ni no Kuni2

  • The forgotten city

  • Until dawn

  • A plague tale 1 innocence

  • TLOU1

  • Uncharted 1-3

  • Portal 1 & 2

Meh

  • life is strange 1
  • TLOU2
  • Nier automata (ikr, wtf? )

Did not finish/Gave up for lack of interest

  • Mass effect 1 (and thus none of the sequels)
  • Little nightmares
  • Fallout 4
  • Cyberpunk 2077 and not for glitch reasons
  • Ghostwire

So far the only game I’m sure of is the fable series but I dont even know what version to get? It often gets confusing for older games for a newbie

Computer details: Intel i9, 32gb ram, and Nvidia GeForce rtx 2070

    It really depends on how fun do you find exploration and deduction to be. If you prefer games with more… curated direction, shall we say, then it might end up being more frustrating or boring rather than entertaining.
    If you like to figure things out for yourself and take pleasure in exploring the world and themes of what you play then there’s a good chance OW will click with you.

    There’s a lot of interesting stuff in this game but it’s certainly not for everyone. You’ll need patience, curiosity and some out of the box thinking to get the most out of it.
