What kinds of games might you recommend with deep worldbuilding and interaction that aren’t RPGs?
I like worldbuilding and stories, and I like when they’re mixed with the interactivity of games, so RPGs seem like they should be a natural fit. Problem is, I dislike the stat-heavy, grindy progression of many RPGs.
I enjoy point & click adventures and visual novels but they’re often more limited in their interactions. What kinds of game might I be missing combining the two?
The Outcast games (not to be confused with Outlast) have great world building, putting the kind of detail into the alien world that you’d expect from a really thorough high fantasy novel. The first game is a bit clunky even in its remake form, but the sequel “A New Beginning” is basically a modern action game.
You don’t really need to play the first to play the second. The main character starts with amnesia so everything gets explained to you again.
