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!

And you decided to stop playing because of that one event. Definitely not the game at fault here.

I do believe I said it definitely isn't the games fault for not telling me about a mechanic that would have me shot at and killed. We've already established that it's absolutely my fault for not knowing something I wasn't taught in-game before it happened. The game is without flaws. Perfect. 10 out of 10. Impossible for someone to have a bad time in without it being their own fault.
