Open world games, need recommendations

sleepybisexual@beehaw.org to Gaming@beehaw.org – 51 points –

Its been a while since I played botw and totk, I want to get into similar open world games with good combat systems, any recommendations?

As for platforms, I need games that aren't too intensive, my PCs are kinda weak and my consoles are a switch and an emulator that does up to GameCube/ps2

This question proves how stupid I am lol

My somewhat controversial suggestion is outward. Low graphical intensity PC game, very open world, and some incredibly unique and polarizing design choices. If your favorite part of breath of the wild was world exploration and korok finding, you may love it! If you like quality of life features though, maybe not.

Things like, you have a world map but no "you are here" marker so need to place yourself with landmarks. You need to drop your backpack to fight effectively and remember where you dropped it, the magic system is based on insomnia with the longer since you slept the more mana you have until you push it too far and just collapse. Really really weird game that I still think about all the time years later.

What platforms is it on?

It a fairly low intensity PC game, steam has it, gog does too I think

Oh, so only PC releases?

Outward is on consoles as well, though PC is its primary platform.

:c

Was hoping it was on switch :3

Why are modern consoles locked down PCs with optical drives lol

As I said, it's on consoles too — including Switch. It's just that it's a secondary platform for it — meaning it may be a lesser experience than on the platform it was ported from.
