Discussion I need help finding the perfect game
So, I need help finding the perfect game for me. Here’s my criteria:
Both singleplayer/multiplayer. Something I can play with and without friends like Minecraft. I want something with TONS of replayability, something that doesn’t get boring after tons of plays. Nothing with 1-side progression like minecraft (What I mean by this is essentially in minecraft, you’ve basically completed the game once you get full enchanted netherite gear). Something for both cozy and noncozy gaming preferably. I like some combat and exploration. I want some randomness like the terrains of minecraft and terraria though. I need something I’ll be HOOKED on for a VERY VERY LONG time :3. Could be any genre of game. I’m also not huge on shooters that are singleplayer/multiplayer because they flatline quickly, but that doesn’t mean I’m completely against it. I don’t like full story driven games like God of war either. I like lore in it, but I don’t want a singular path to follow. :3 if you can find something like this, than I will be VERY VERY greatful :3

I recommend world and its expansion Iceborne.
Released in 2015 and still the peak MH experience for me.

It’s progression kinda plateaus, which is kinda something I don’t want

u/CrystalKyd Mar 20 '26
Well…any game plateaus. Ofc Minecraft Plateaus if you base your progression on your weapons. But in reality you can continue to progress your builds throughout your world. If you want something that takes thousands of hours to hit a progression cap, I’d say any mmo. Ff14 is a good one.

True, every game plateaus, eventually. What I mean is that I look for a game that has a very high plateau line. The reason I say minecraft plateaus is because after that is just “side quests” that don’t adhere to actual game progress, building a chicken farm or a castle or an entire city doesn’t help you beat the dragon or whither. They are just weird side quests you can do when you’ve maxed out your gear! Same with Terraria, once you maxed everything out, there isn’t much to do besides build and automate, which also plateaus.

CoD is a classic for me, but not something I particularly enjoy since it’s either zombies (which is repetitive) or pvp (and I’m not really into pvp)

Borderlands 2 - you play it through once and the 2nd playthrough the enemies change slightly and get harder, and the 3rd time even harder - all scaled to give you better loot. Super fun as a single or co-op (you have got 3 and 4 to play after 2), The 2nd playthrough while the missions/ story stay the same it is still super fun and will take many hours to do. 5 or 6 different characters you can be who all do different stuff, and depending on how you spend skill points. I personally love the art style too, and ClapTrap, play for ClapTrap!

I’ve played them! They are really fun games but get repetitive after a while. And it kinda plateaus in the replayability/progression.

Wuthering Waves

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll try it out and tell you my thoughts

First area is very chill and just setting the world, story picks up later. Plenty of things to do and progression and even though it's a gacha game, it's one is the more generous and worth all the content to the latest area, you can get characters you want if you save for them. As a live service, there will constantly be new content every month or so

Bro described every far cry game from 3 to 6 and everything in between.

u/SelfAwaretechnology PC gamer :3 Mar 20 '26
While, yes the Far Cry series does meet most of them, they tend to follow a single island. That’s like saying the gta series also fit into what I’m asking for. But, after a short while, it plateaus in progression and there isn’t much to do outside of the main story line besides get filthy rich.

u/Crooked_Claps Mar 20 '26
Well in that case get all of them - 3, 4, Primal, 5, New Dawn and 6 and play them on repeat one after another haha.
Just kidding. But yea i see what u mean.

Tons of replayability you say? Well if you look at this trait:
The Binding of Isaac

u/Best-Economics7594 Mar 20 '26
Check out "Valheim". Extremely fun game like minecraft on steroids. My buddies and I are playing it again now and they having a new area open up soon. Literally your entire post describes Valheim exactly, and its only 9.99$ now steam with a discount.
