Hey all, I’m on the hunt for games that really suck you into their world, the kind where you look up and suddenly three hours have gone by.

Games I’ve loved and couldn’t put down:

  • Plague Tale
  • Horizon
  • Subnautica
  • Mass Effect
  • Expedition 33
  • Homeworld

Doesn’t matter the gente, as long as it’s got that vibe where you just exist in the atmosphere and forget about everything else.

What are your go-to games when you want to disappear into another world? Bonus appreciation if it’s something underrated or off the beaten path.

Edit: Thank you all. I will definitely keep this thread bookmarked. You all dwarved what I found on Reddit ir any other platform! Well done!

    Sable!

    I started it and never finished. Don’t remember what happened, but I enjoyed it. How long is it? Is it worth it?

    Don’t know the other two. I’ll check them out.

      I don’t remember exactly how long it is. I went for 100% in that game; you can definitely take your time with it.

      Even just getting to the end can take a fair chunk of time, and there are fun secrets to be found. I was enamoured with the world and its characters. Though the part after the tutorial when that song kicks isn’t matched in its high elsewhere, for me.
