“Remake!”
“Reboot!”
“Remaster!!”
“Enhanced graphics!!!”
It’s the year 2024 and no original ideas are coming from the AAA videogames producers, but lots of those coming from indie developers and publishers instead.
I believe you know where you should throw your money.

@innkeeper@gamerstavern.online It’s so predictable-game publishers, movie studios, and other media outlets always take the ‘bankable’ path, guaranteeing their return. Yet they fail every single time as new ideas are left wayside.
I’m all for leveraging better means to enhance long loved games and stories, but not at the expense of innovative and new ideas.
@innkeeper@gamerstavern.online In indie games, you also typically get a lot more games for your money.
Any great RPGs in the indie scene? Or are those beasts just too big to handle for small teams (reminds me that I did like the knights of pen and paper)?
@Valmond@lemmy.world I never played it personally but I heard great things about Disco Elysium
I’m really enjoying Sea of Stars. It’s probably not the high-poly open world action RPG you had in mind though.
@Valmond @innkeeper
I’ve got a few suggestions:
Classic round-based RPGs?
Doom&Destiny, Undertale, Chained Echoes
Isometric?
ATOM RPG, UnderRail
Idle?
Incremental Epic Heroes, Your Chronicle, Soda Dungeons
Action?
Palworld, Enshrouded
Farming?
Roots of Pacha, Sun Haven, Little Known Galaxy
Give me some more details, and I might have something. I play quite a lot of different RPGs.
Hey thank you ! That’s a big list already!
Doom&Destiny and Chained Echoes looks nice already, gotta check them out :-)
@Valmond Doom&Destiny and Doom&Destiny Advanced are my favourites. I just don’t know how well the jokes and puns translates into english.
@Valmond @innkeeper Currently enjoying exploring the weird world in Dread Delusion, though it’s light on RPG mechanics. Reminiscent of the excellent exploration and nostalgic feeling of Lunacid. In my opinion the best ARPG currently out is Grim Dawn, if you like more RPG depth with your carnage. Lots of great indie RPGs.
