I’m a non-gamer looking for recommendations please. I saw the Quake II refresh and it makes me want to explore/roam some 3D environments again. But I’m really not into the intensity of any of the shooting games.
Tomb Raider was fun but I found combat hard to control.
Half-Life had great environments but too much shooting for me.
Portal was great fun but I eventually found it repetitive.
Beyond a Steel Sky is one of my favorites although the pace of exploration is a bit slower than others.
I’m tempted to give a game like Myst a try but the puzzles sound a bit too involved for me. Basically something without much stress or excessive friction against exploration of the environment. Thanks
Check out Sable!
It’s a great exploration game, there’s some puzzle and platforming and stealth bits but no combat, just roaming around on your motorcycle exploring interesting environments and talking to the people you meet, it’s really fun and I love the art style and music
My favourite so far, thank you so much! It doesn’t have a release for my system natively, but looks like it works on macOS using Parallels.
