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!

    Prey (2017)

    There were so many moments where I got lost in the environmental details. One of the more memorable ones was finding an office environment where almost everybody is emailing each other about how much they hate a guy because he’s too hardworking and overzealous.

    When you actually find that guy’s desk, it’s obvious that he’s been given no resources to do his job… and that he’s only trying to contribute any way he can. Even worse, he’s got a whiteboard that if you flip it around, you find that it’s got mathematical equations on it, hinting that he might have been a lot smarter than people gave him credit for.

    EDIT:spelling
