I mean… just look at them… 😲 Is this the life that’s supposed to be the goal we should all be striving for? Look at those frozen, plastic faces. The soulless eyes. It’s like they’re just screaming silently inside. HOW IS ANY OF THIS A GOAL?!? This is why money frightens me.
I feel exactly the same as you. I have ADHD so fluff is painful and pointless grind is just depressing. I thought the most obvious way to recommend my favourites would be to go by hours played, so here’s my top four:
My Time At Portia - 594hrs Hardspace Shipbreaker - 498hrs Kingdom Come Deliverance - 370hrs Just Cause 3 - 255hrs
Special mention too for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (164hrs) because that is one well made game in almost every respect. Very little fluff, grind and you’re always in control of how big a challenge you feel like facing. To my mind it makes all the other AC games look clunky and drab.
Also I hate difficulty spikes so much that whenever they happen and just seem to be there so the devs can grind a few more hours of playtime out of you for their analytics, I just reach for WeMod. Big shout out to WeMod in fact :) It’s made so many games I’d abandoned fun again.
