I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant (sh.itjust.works)

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

Outward is really good for this. You aren't the chosen one, you aren't special, you're just a person trying to get by and the game really makes sure you know it haha

Seconding this, going into this game with a hero complex will get you dead quickly

This is a game I've been holding off because I don't wanna feel too small and insignificant.

Absolutely. For me it was waay too much old school. No fast travel, unforgiving combat and lack of real map or meaningful ways of navigating the world was a turn off for me.
