Hey all, I’m on the hunt for games that really suck you into their world, the kind where you look up and suddenly three hours have gone by.
Games I’ve loved and couldn’t put down:
- Plague Tale
- Horizon
- Subnautica
- Mass Effect
- Expedition 33
- Homeworld
Doesn’t matter the gente, as long as it’s got that vibe where you just exist in the atmosphere and forget about everything else.
What are your go-to games when you want to disappear into another world? Bonus appreciation if it’s something underrated or off the beaten path.
Edit: Thank you all. I will definitely keep this thread bookmarked. You all dwarved what I found on Reddit ir any other platform! Well done!


Little Nightmares 1 and 2. It’s a linear, but compelling stylized horror experience. I’d recommend at least watching a playthrough if you can’t handle chase sequences yourself.
Chants of Sennaar. A great translation game where you puzzle out what symbols mean based on context clues.
Bugsnax. A game about tense interpersonal relationships set in on an island where common foods are bug shaped, and eating the bugs make you food shaped.
