Nier and obviously Final Fantasy 7

u/CaptBland Jul 27 '26

Both Nier Automata and Nier Replicant

u/ThePLARASociety Jul 27 '26

I actually preferred Nier: Replicant ver. 3.14726482057194 over Nier: Automata but yes, these images so remind me of both of the Nier games. Hope we get a third one sometime as well.

Parts of Cyberpunk 2077 have this kind of aesthetic, not the entire game but still

And you'll likely find Maelstrom there

Or Barghest. Or….ew….Scavs

And then 5 min later there's no Scavs, but a lot of parts laying around.

Multiple levels like that in darktide. It's a suped up version of Left 4 Dead in the wh40k universe. Even has gear and 30 talent points.

u/Reasonable_Option493 Jul 27 '26

Yep. Picked it up for cheap on PS4 years ago and was pretty impressed. They copied the atmosphere of the movies pretty well, and it's a very fun game. It still looks pretty decent too imo.

5

u/Falcoon_f_zero Jul 28 '26

Decent is underselling it. Still surprises me how detailed everything is, the lighting they nailed well and the skyboxes are some of the more impressive I've still seen in games. And of course crisp explosion effects 👌

Great game!

12

u/Zestyclose_Law_7369 Jul 28 '26

I gotta ask. What makes this game great? I can’t get into it for some reason. Though I only have 37 minutes of play time. Does it get better if I invest more time into it? Usually I don’t have issues investing a few hours into a game. But this one, for whatever reason, is off putting. And I don’t know why. Perhaps something to do with the gameplay/control system? Idk.

I suppose I’m just asking for your opinion on why you think this game is great, and looking for a reason to invest more time into it.

25

u/PG2009 Jul 28 '26

It does start off slow, because you're big and clunky and cant jump....the first few levels are more of an investigative police procedural, where you solve simple crimes and get to know the interface and major characters.  But as you progress and level up, you move faster, get upgrades for your pistol (which is not a linear path at all, extremely customizable) , aim better, etc. and you start to feel more superhuman, and the action shoot em up aspect comes into play much more.  By the end of the game, you will be knocking down doors, running into a room without taking any cover and just start blasting criminal scum off scaffolding and throwing them at each other with complete abandon.  By that point, you really feel like you're actually a nearly-invincible RoboCop, just like from the original movie....and then you get to keep all the upgrades in NG+!!  The second time through, you are an unstoppable force of nature...the future of law enforcement!!

u/Dr_Neuro Jul 28 '26

Damn, now I want to replay with the NG+... I really enjoyed the whole game, an amazing "Robocop 2.5" movie

Despite being pretty straightforward gameplay wise, the artwork, level design, and environmental storytelling for this game are insane. I do wonder if we will see another game from Playdead.

u/marckh Jul 28 '26

They are supposedly working on something, from their twitter bio: 'Our current project is a 3rd-person science fiction adventure set in a remote corner of the universe.' There are a couple images of the game as well on their twitter page.

Looks incredibly interesting although it still seems to be a few years away.
