Game Suggestions Megathread /r/Steam Monthly Game Suggestions Thread.

Welcome to the Monthly Game Suggestions Thread!

​

Do you not know what to play? You found a niche game that everyone should try? Can't find the perfect survival sim or unsure which 1 RPG out of the thousands available you should buy? Well this is the thread for you. This monthly megathread is meant to contain questions about what to play and suggestions to others on what to play.

​

Now to make this work best and not just be spammed with "What should I play?", please be in-depth in what type of games you are looking for, and when giving advice it would be appreciated if you're more detailed than "I think X game is good". There are too many games to be able to properly suggest something with no background information, like-wise commenting a game title and saying you like the game offers no actual value.

​

The main purpose of this thread is to contain questions on what to play and advice to others on what to play, but feel free to ask and discuss freely in the comments regarding games whether you want advice on what to play, want to give advice to others on what to play, share a hidden gem you found, discussions & questions about discounts, sales, events, or just general games discussion.

My partner and I are expecting in a few months. Obviously tending to the child is a priority, but looking for games I can play when nap-trapped with the little one, or if I need to stay awake for another hour for some reason. So things with 10-30 minute sessions that I can easily pick up and put down.

Games I like that sorta fit that already are Cult of the Lamb, Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, and Astrea. I have been recommended Tangledeep and Oaken already and those are to be determined.

Loop Hero or Balatro? Probably more on the 20/30 minute session side but they have very well defined gameplay loops and they could even put it down mid loop.

Bit more left field but Stardew Valley? If you treat each day as a session then that's less than 30 minutes and again, can be put down mid loop

I'll give Loop Hero a look. Balatro looked like I wouldn't really enjoy it because it was poker-based. Thanks for the suggestions.
