A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers? (lemmy.world)

I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind.

Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in?

I see there's a remake of Wizardry 1(?) and remasters of the Etrian Odyssey games in the past couple years. I'm also kind of intrigued by Undernauts, which looks like it might throw a little Shin Megami Tensei flavor in?

It gets better, but that does continue to be a thing. Part of the reason it's so heavy is a bit of a spoiler, so I'll leave it to your discretion:

Tap for spoiler

After some point, you gain the ability to rewind time, and while things are fairly shippable on review, you'll start having informed decisions to make that matter.

That being said, either way the game is somewhat chatty. Even if it gets better, it never completely goes away.

I appreciate that, I'm not dissing the game, but I don't think I have the tolerance. I appreciate you saving me some time.

The game is actually pretty cool, I just have never really liked story "getting in the way" of stuff.

Totally reasonable. Not every game is for everyone, no guilt!
