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.

For a story based game DISCO ELYSIUM!!

I have no idea if it’s AA or whatever. Maybe if AA stood for Alcoholics Anonymous. Also there was some corporate greed fuckery so the makers do get a cut on steam or anything, so…

If you’re looking for something a lil more chill, Tchia is a BoTW-esque game that’s everything you like aside from FPS.

Also, if you want to play something older, check out Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. They are AAA, but they were made back when Bethesda actually had soul and vision.

Fun fact: it wasn’t even made by Bethesda. They only published it. It was made by Obsidian Entertainment

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!

Since you mention FPS and open world, you could try some of the Far Cry games. AAA but often fall out of public eye fast. They’re all the same but do what they do pretty well.

Another interesting AA is In Sound Mind. Shooter-puzzler about a psychiatrist trapped in the minds of his patients.
