Hey HN - I am looking for new games to play. A bit sick of the classic Fifa and God of War console games. Yet I cannot find anything that really interests me on mobile or web or pushes me to at least try it out.<p>This led me thinking that how does anyone discover new games today. Any recommendations ?
As a general rule, I say “eschew the new” and go for the classics.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/all/filtered" rel="nofollow">https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/...</a><p>Here are some excellent game critics:<p>[3] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@NakeyJakey">https://www.youtube.com/@NakeyJakey</a><p>[4] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@videogamedunkey">https://www.youtube.com/@videogamedunkey</a><p>Some random recommendations off the top of my head:<p>• Monument Valley : a short puzzle game about optical illusions<p>• Breath of the Wild : open-world Zelda with fun physics<p>• Untitled Goose Game : wreak havoc on a small town as a goose<p>• Hollow Knight : difficult but reward metroidvania game with lots of secrets<p>• FTL : spaceship management<p>• Hyper Light Drift : incredibly beautiful Zelda-like game<p>• Portal : puzzle game with portals<p>• Undertale : moral bullet-hell with humor<p>I’ve also heard great things about Noita, Rain World, Disco Elysium, Bioshock, Elden Ring, ChronoTrigger, Mother 3, Braid, and Dwarf Fortress<p>Email me at hello@taylor.town if you need more specific suggestions!
