Hello, I guess everyone knows the current state of AAA games in general, so I am looking into other game markets. I have looked into indie games , but while I do like it, I feel the budgetary constraints and dvelopment limitations are a limit to indie games.

Does anyone can suggest good AA games or AAA titles without crap in it? My go to genre is FPS, open world games and story based games in general.

Also, no need to mention popular games, I am looking more for “hidden gems”, if you will. Thanks.

I think these are fairly popular in their circles but I will take every opportunity to recommend sleeping dogs and judgement. Played both fairly recently and the plot is amazing and action is satisfying. Highly recommend putting them on your wishlist so you can pick them up on a sale.

Sleeping Dogs was a lot of fun. Kind of like Grand Theft Auto but more serious and a focus on martial arts.

Helldivers 2 is currently occupying my mind 24/7. Yes there are a few bugs here and there, but the game is just so good they don’t really matter in terms of spoiling the experience. It is a 4 person co-op game and its really fun if you find a group of friends you can play with, or a good group of randoms who communicate. However, you can play solo, you just need to change up your playstyle for certain missions, like go a bit stealthier. Honestly try it, and if you want to try the group aspect of it join the official discord where there are lfg channels you can find people to play with.

Helldivers is legitimately the best game i have played in the past few years. Deep rock galactic is great too and pretty similar. If you like rogue like fps with amazing movement and game feel, crab champions is fantastic. Blasphemous is also a very fun game that is like 75% off

I happened across We Happy Few a long while back in Game Pass. I initially came into it thinking it was going to be a small indie game that would take me a day or two tops, to finish. My god it was far larger than i thought.

I got about halfway through Act 1 before a few other games caught my attention for a while, but this game always stuck in the back of my mind, and i was determined that i would return to finish it at some point.

When i did come back, it was no longer on game pass so i ended up buying the full thing with all of the DLC, and the story just sucked me in for a week! And that was just blowing through the main quests as i was so intrigued i couldn’t bear to do any side quests. I finally did beat it the other day, and started on to the first DLC. It is just as long as the main story!! I’m still having a blast playing it!

I’ve been recommending it to everyone, and to at the very least, put it in their wishlist!
