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!


Games that are 100% pure vibes that are extremely easy to get lost in:
Yume Nikki
B3313 (Super Mario 64 ROM hack)
myhouse.pk3 (DOOM II mod)
Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3 (including the remake of 2)
Also if you like Expedition 33, Chrono Trigger and Terranigma are both must-plays.
You lost all credibility by including the remake of SH2 in your post.
I happen to really like it, other than the IMO worse voice acting and the needless excessive padding. Other than that, I think the vibes are on point.
Not to mention it’s also much more accessible to people more accustomed to modern games.
