Looking for some games where it feels like you're actually trying to solve something with the clues and secrets you uncover. For example, Disco Elysium actually made me feel like a detective despite how wacky and surreal it could be.

I haven't played LA Noire yet but that's on my list. Anything else I should check out? TIA!

I play pretty much everything. Some of my friends rage quit stuff when Im still 100% calm.

When it comes to BRs specifically, they can be very frustrating. Your winrate is inevitably low, due to there only being "one" winner per match, but me and my friends enjoy both Apex and Hunt: Showdown.

In both cases we started having a lot more fun when we started taking the games much less seriously, and not caring about whether the game told us we won.

In Apex, instead of wins, we'd count squad wipes. We began playing much more aggressively, not caring as much about out gear, and going TOWARDS action instead of away from it. This led to less time "wasted" meaning if we died, we did so fast and early, and so wed get to the next game faster. If we won, we'd score gear off the players we just defeated.

Similarly, in Hunt we'd head towards the first firefight we could hear, and either get kills or get killed. Pretty much always playing free hunters with cheap loadouts we wouldn't care about losing.

And never, ever, even considered caring about or grinding rank.

I play to maximize fun, not progress. I min/max for enjoyment, not stats. It's one of the reasons I have chat entirely disabled in Overwatch, voice and text, because I don't wanna hear it if someone is screaming at me over my pick. I don't care. I here to have a good time.

Ive seen a few recomendations for Obra Dinn, but, more recently, I had a great time with The Case of the Golden Idol . Also, the best Sherlock Holmes game is Crimes and Punishments.
