Yeah, I usually don’t like the difficulty/depth either if it breaks the immersion and feels artificial/forced. Maybe there are some community mods/official settings to change that?
A lot of games unfortunately tend to increase the “difficulty” by making the tasks more tedious, rather than changing the actual gameplay :/ Stalker seems to fit the bill in terms of your criticism.
I think I’ll give it a try anyway, thanks for the insights!
Mtg.Design hab ich letztens mal benutzt, klappt super.
I didnt play seither of the system shock games, but i would recommend Prey (2017) (Currently on 75% Sale) - SciFi / Alien setting with gorgeous gameplay due to the almost perfectly implemented Immersive Sim (Same genre as the System Shock games) mechanics. Its one of those games, that make you feel smart and creative while playing & also gives you such a high degree of freedom, that almost nothing feels forced - there is always another way! Got be one of my all time favourites, currently preparing for my 4th playthrough.
Should also be able to run on weaker hardware.
Luckily i havent experienced the stuttering issues (Played on PC), but i hope you can get them fixed!
The things that helped me to stay engaged were on the one hand the world/level design (lots of small riddles everywhere, that sometimes involve backtracking & clever Parcour, but also the gorgeous landscape & detailled environments), on the other hand the story and its cute characters! I think giving each area the time it deserved and not rushing through things also helped (Took me around 75 hours to beat the base game).
Maybe Crosscode could fullfill some of your wishes? Though the theme is more on the science fiction side, you can…
- choose between different skill trees & items
- traverse the somewhat open world on multiple paths
- discover hidden quests & locations
- and experience some of the best combat systems i played in the last year.
