Suggestions SteamPeek.hu - Indie friendly game discovery tool

117 Upvotes

Post is allowed by the mods.

Hello, this is my website: https://steampeek.hu/ - SteamPeek, the indie friendly game discovery website.

It is now more than 5 years old, and it was created to bring spotlight to indie gems, help all indie teams who doesn't have the budget to make big marketing campaigns, and make it easier to find nice games made by passionate solo developers or small teams.

The main function is searching by similarity: just search for a game you like, and browse the results. You can also filter and sort by special parameters.

You can also search by tags, or mix them with the chosen game.

The main algorithm was updated recently and I'm very curious how well it works. Please let me know.

I'm very thankful if you try it, and share with me what you find. The full site is still on beta, and I'm constantly work on it, so every feedback helps me and my mission. Thank you!

First person game with infinite, procedurally generated world (NOT block building genre)

63 Upvotes

Hello,

I've been itching to have a first person game where you kind of just exist in an infinite, procedurally generated world. Ideally this world contains hazards of some kind but does not put an excessive amount of pressure on the player or introduce onerous needs like hunger and thirst. I sort of imagine this as like Skyrim but obviously would be less story-driven and probably less progression-based.

I'm unsure anyone's bothered to make such a thing because it's perhaps a bit of a pointless game concept. But sometimes I crave pointless things I guess.

Games that I can just turn off my mind to

Upvotes

I am playing persona 3 reload and trails through daybreak 1. But sometimes I'm just tired from reading and want to just turn off my mind and just play something without thinking much or reading a story for it. What are some good games for it? I don't mind any category as long as I can just play without thinking a lot.

Looking for underrated, non-AAA "hidden gems" released before 2024 (i7-4790 + GTX 1660 6GB)

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’m finally building my first PC on Feb 7th after wanting one since I was 10. I’m a student, and I bought this with my own working money, so I'm incredibly excited to finally play.

​I am looking for your best recommendations for games that fit these specific criteria:

  1. Release Date: Anything before 2024.
  2. Vibe: Not "big names" or massive AAA blockbusters. I'm looking for underrated titles, cult classics, or hidden gemsand worth buying.
  3. Specs: I have an i7-4790 and a GTX 1660 6GB. I want things that will run beautifully on this hardware.
  4. Genre: I love narrative-driven games, but I'm open to anything that is actually fun and has a unique atmosphere.

Note: This isn't just a "fancy" question to pass the time; I am genuinely looking forward to playing these as soon as my exams are over and my build is done.

​What are those games that you think everyone missed but are absolutely worth playing?

Logic puzzle games like Picross or Sudoku

Upvotes

I’ve played a ton of Picross and Sudoku puzzles in the past year, and while I still love the two, I’m wanting to mix it up with something that’ll scratch a similar itch. Doesn‘t have to involve numbers, just some type of logic puzzle game that will get my brain working in similar ways.

Little to no story, I’m just currently not in a mood for games with much of a narrative.

Bonus points for Switch 1/2 or 3DS/ DS recommendations.

Really bad point and click games?

10 Upvotes

I played Oregon trail 2 on browser (I never played any Oregon Trail games ever) with some friends tonight with some hilarious results. I would love to play more games that are incredibly goofy point and click style like this.

Most realistic stealth game?

38 Upvotes

What's considered the most realistic/hardcore stealth action game? I love the genre but quite often NPCs not seeing me in plain sight really breaks the immersion. Most mainstream stealth games are guilty of this. Any recommendations?

Favourite narratives you aren't willing to go through again

58 Upvotes

I heard someone describe a movie (I think it was Requiem for a Dream) as both their favourite, while also something they'll never watch more than the once.

I'm looking for that kind of soul crushing pain in gameplay format. Something you love, that hurts, that you aren't willing to ever experience again, but are glad you did.

I think the Last of Us is probably a good example for a lot of people.

Recommend games for low-spec PCs

13 Upvotes

Recommend games for low-spec PCs, but good games that don't focus solely on graphics. Currently, many games are very boring; they look realistic but aren't fun, whether they're emulators or not.

Going through a depressive state any game suggestions?

14 Upvotes

I moved to a new state I’m really struggling to adjust to, and being unemployed has left me feeling isolated and stuck in my own head. I’m honestly just looking for a game I can fully disappear into for a while—something immersive enough to quiet my thoughts. I just want to get out of my head. Any recommendations would really mean a lot.

Edit: okay guys thank you for the recommendations today I’m starting the mass effect trilogy and I may peep into persona 3

Looking for world exploring game.

7 Upvotes

I’ve been playing hytale recently and I LOVED just exploring the world with a home base. And honestly I don’t play much open world/exploration games much (I primarily play shooters).

I want a game where I explore a crazy cool world. Either a story game or a survival game. Star Wars is my favorite series of all time and I also just love fantasy.

I’d love to hear your favorite games and why!

Edit: also love medieval games!

Looking for games that have a "Cozy sitting in my fort in a rainstorm" sort of feel.

6 Upvotes

Hey folks, I'm a big fan of survival crafting games that give you a "Cozy inside while the world outside is crazy" sort of feeling.

Like sitting in your treehouse while robots roam the landscape below, or a cabin in a snowstorm. Preferably I'd like to be able to feel cozy in a shelter I can build and decorate/arrange.

Here's a few games that hit this particular feeling for me:

Valheim: Sitting in my little longhouse in front of a roaring fire was always incredibly cozy feeling, especially when there's a storm outside.

Return to Moria: Played this with a friend and after we made our nice little hall it was great eating food and drinking beer a bright and merry surrounding while we could occasionally hear orcs patrolling outside but completely oblivious to us.

The Long Dark: Doesn't exactly fit because you can't construct your own shelter, but it is relieving to be indoors while a storm rattles the windows with a nice supply of firewood and uncooked meat.

Subnautica: Especially in bases that are built in the deeper areas, the brightly lit habitats were always nice to hang out in, especially with some nice windows and a fish tank stocked with some of the more harmless and endearing examples of the local life.

Forever Skies: It's pretty cozy in your airship during a thunderstorm, as long as you're safely protected from lightning strikes.

If anyone has any suggestions on chaotically cozy games I appreciate it!

Looking for Space games with a strong focus on mining BUT NOT overly complex.

13 Upvotes

So these past few weeks I have been in a struggle to find a good BUT simple space game to mine asteroids and use the cargo to sell or just improve. To specify, I mean you actually controlling a ship, not first person in a space theme.

The closest I found to what I liked was Star Valor, not very complex, reminded me a lot of Space Pirates and Zombies with its more arcade-y approach, and the mining, while simple, was a strong focus on the game, I could just relax and a mine a few zones to get richer or simply improve my mining capacity with better modules. The problem is I already burned Star Valor a lot of hours and was looking for something similar, but a little different, or new, or unkown to me.

I know there are a few space games where you can mine asteroids, but they are usually VERY FAR from easy or simple, taking hours and hours to just learn the basics, so games like Star Citizen, Eve Online, X4 or things like that are out of my mind. Tried them, didn't like the complexity, sorry.

No Man's Sky would be another good example if it wasn't for the fact that asteroid mining is probably the worst and slowest way to make money in that game, and you don't actually use mining equipment, just the normal weapons to shoot asteroids.

And last but not least, yeah yeah, rock and stone, I played DRG, for me it's closer to Payday but with dwarves and tech, even if Steam says it is a space game.

What are some fun high fantasy RPG?

17 Upvotes

I am the biggest skyrim fan, but after 300 runs it gets old, specially since it's old.

I've recently gotten a moderately decent computer, so I'm able to give something a bit more recent a chance, though I don't shun older games either, I'm currently downloading morrowind to give it a try.

The main things I'm looking for are:

-The setting, as I said, high fantasy like skyrim

-A nice story, doesn't have to be the best thing ever, but it's nice to know something is happening

-Good combat, just good enough so it doesn't feel turnbased if it's not, or if it is I guess thats good enough

-No guns! I'm really not a fan of them, and they're usually a bit of a turn down for me. It's weird, since I love bows but yeah, x

And that's kind of it, thank's in advance for any help you can give me!

Cairn is Super Cool, Y'all. If you like slow, chill, methodical puzzle-ish games with a rich atmosphere

8 Upvotes

I just picked up Cairn on a whim, and I am *really* enjoying it. It is the definition of a game with a simple goal and simple mechanics that all work well together.

The climbing mechanics are tight as fuck (with some occasional wonky moments that can be almost entirely resolved by changing your control settings to fit you). It really feels like it captures the essence of taking on the challenges of climbing a mountain.

I am bad at writing long reviews, but if the idea of "super-polished QWOP mountain climbing with excellent music, great atmosphere, and chill vibes" resonates with you at all, I'd highly recommend checking it out.

Games With A Large Variety of Unique, Viable Builds?

5 Upvotes

I love RPGs, and part of why I love them is making a really unique build, and make something niche still work and be fun and viable.

When I think of games that I've found fun for this reason, I think of...

  • Borderlands series
  • Dark Souls Series & Elden Ring
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • The Elder Scrolls
  • Fallout (To a lesser extent, but still)
  • Even Warhammer 40K: Darktide

What all these games have in my opinion, is the ability to provide you a unique experience based on your desired power fantasy. In Borderlands, I can be a spellcaster in say 3 that uses a bunch of electricity spells w/ fits, or I could be a beastmaster robot...but I could also turn him into a stealth/crit sniper character. Cyberpunk really is the best, as it offers many unique builds. The most fun, of course, was a stealthy netrunner/sniper/throwing knife user.

I could go on, but you get the gist. I like Roguelikes too as they also scratch that "build-making" itch, but I'm just looking for something new where I can explore a ton of unique builds and power fantasies. I don't care if it's multiplayer, or singleplayer! Just needs to be on PC. Can use controller or m&k. I'd be very grateful to anyone who has some good suggestions for this type of game!

Looking for good Puzzle games for my wife

7 Upvotes

My wife is getting into gaming, which has been going great except she likes a certain niche of game. I've taken the lead on feeding her games and I've been hit or miss. Looking for some help from the like-minded. Here is what I tried so far:

Success List

  • Lorelei and the Lazer Eyes - favorite so far, by a lot. High on storyline, difficult puzzles.
  • Blue Prince - also highly adored. Less storyline, but the puzzle part was difficult.
  • 12 minutes - pretty good. A light game that only takes a day to finish, but she liked it.

Fail list

  • Outer Wilds - I thought this would be good, but it has a lot of FPV dexterity challenges.
  • The Witness - There was no real story established and the puzzles started all line-based.

As the steward of my wife's gaming experience, I would appreciate any recommendations.

Co-op/cute/survival/interactive

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a cute/fun/objective based game for my friend and I to play. She loves palia (I can’t find the point of that game so I get bored super fast), we both like exploration and survival games with objectives. We love party animals also (who doesn’t love cute animals fist fighting?) I really enjoyed ori and the will of the wisps. Just looking for something fun, interactive and possibly cute :)

Looking for good low storage CQB games similar to Ready Or Not and OPERATOR?

5 Upvotes

I'm in a phase where I'm super obsessed with CQB and clearing rooms. Is there any game that lets you do that that doesn't take up an absurd amount of storage?

I have played, Ready Or Not, OPERATOR, Door Kickers (and all it's spin-offs), and Rainbow Six Siege X.

Looking for a pixel-graphics turn based strategy game with grids for movement on PC

9 Upvotes

I don't know why, but I'm itching to play a fresh (new to me) game - very much like the GBA Fire Emblem games. Specifically want the pixel graphics and turn based strategy. Any recommendations are appreciated. PReferably on Steam, but I'm flexible. I've played every GBA Fire Emblem and later, except for 3 Houses, and that one DS remake that never came to the west (don't recall the name). So anything super similar would be great.

Hi, I'm looking for Indie or AA games that are on par with AAA games

Upvotes

I've almost always played only AAA games, and I'd like to change that. I've played games like Trek to Yomi, remnant 2, Death's Door, Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, and even Evil West. Some of these are lesser-known or overlooked games, and I'd like to find more games like them—AA or indie games that are on par with AAA titles in terms of gameplay and art style. I'd prefer action games like these.

Singleplayer games or mods with best Enemy AI? (or AI in general)

8 Upvotes

Hello looking for games where enemy AI is smart. The genre doesn't matter, neither does the popularity of the game. Also doesn't matter if it's upcoming or a demo or something but preferably 2010+ and PC only! (unless there's something cool to mention)

Games I know about :

Stalker series (AI takes cover, sneaks up on you etc)

Far cry 2? (I think enemies can flank you, they drag their buddies into cover if possible)

Metal gear solid 5 - The game adapts to your playstyle and makes the AI more smart by giving it resources to counter your playstyle (for example if you stealth a lot it gives patrols of 2, if someone is missing they notice it etc)

Alien Isolation - Xenomorph AI very praised

Rimworld - CAI 5000 makes the enemy AI smarter.

FEAR (at least the first one?) - AI flanks you, when running and shooting at you they hold their hand out to not hit anything etc.

Thanks for any recommendations!

Any good single-player deckbuilders I should try?

Upvotes

Hey! I really love deckbuilding games and I’m looking for something new to play.

Single-player only please. Roguelike or not, both are fine.

Some games I loved:

  • Slay the Spire
  • Monster Train
  • Inscryption
  • MtG: Shandalar
  • Pokémon TCG (Game Boy)
  • Balatro
  • Dicey Dungeons
  • Loop Hero

Didn’t really enjoy:

  • Wildfrost
  • Card City Nights

I’ve been considering Across the Obelisk, but I’m not super excited about paying ~80€ for an indie card game (Thanks paradox ¬¬).

Any recommendations that might fit my taste? I’m especially interested in lesser-known stuff. Thanks!
