Hello everyone
I recently upgraded my PC and I’m excited to explore new games that can take advantage of my improved hardware. Previously, my old PC was limited, and I had to be selective about the games I played. I also have a Steam Deck, but I’m looking for offline single-player experiences on my PC.
I’m looking for games that offer an unforgettable experience and high replay value. I enjoy open-world games that give me the freedom to explore, similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I know it’s not a PC game, but it gives you an idea of my playstyle.
Here are some games I’ve enjoyed in the past:
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - My favorite game, I love the freedom to explore without being bound to quests.
• Far Cry 3 - Great open-world experience that didn’t get boring.
• NieR: Automata - Engaging story, but it got a bit repetitive.
• Scarlet Nexus - Great story, high replay value, and a beautiful world, although it can be repetitive.
• ULTRAKILL - Challenging and high replay value.
• Portal 2 - High replay value.
• Portal 1 - Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it.
• Subnautica - Absolutely loved it.
• The Witcher 3 - Didn’t enjoy it, but I’m giving it another try soon.
• Doom Eternal - Liked it.
• Horizon Zero Dawn - It’s an average game, with a mid-story and a beautiful world.
For me, a good story is often the top priority, but I also enjoy games like Breath of the Wild where I can relax and play without thinking too hard.
If you’re curious about my specs, here they are:
New PC:
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
• RAM: 64GB DDR5 Memory
Old PC: • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 4GB
• CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz
• RAM: 4GB DDR3 Memory
I’d appreciate any game recommendations that fit my preferences.
Edit: Thanks already for the recommendations, I might also add, that I love the Halo games. Except the newer ones.

Ghost of Tsushima, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk
Ghost of Tsushima is amazing! I’m not usually the biggest open world fan, but that one really worked for me
i should play valhalla
Honestly I thought Valhalla was pretty meh…
It’s not a bad game, I just didn’t find it interesting enough to keep me engaged.I agree, but it was worth playing though
It would be a massive shame to not throw Fallout: New Vegas a nod.
Factorio
And then after you get wore out on factorio, you can try factorio mods. Between the two it should hold you over for forever.
It ain’t called Cracktorio for nuthin’!
None of the one suggested.

Cruelty squad, balatro, broforce, yakuza games, ghostwire tokyo, gta 4, deep rock galactic, risk of rain 2, binding of issac are some of my personal reccomendations
I always have to recommend Vampire: The Masquerade, Bloodlines. Cheesy AF game from the early 'aughts, but it holds a special place in my heart and is a fantastic RPG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAIR9faz9pM
Dishonored is pretty good, although not truly an open world, there are side quests and areas to discover in each mission
i would recommend titanfall 2, its a masterpiece
Probably some stigma associated with it but Genshin Impact is kind of in the vein of Breath of the Wild with the open world exploration and puzzle solving. Tons of story arcs, and they are pretty dang good. While it’s not offline, it’s not multiplayer unless you want it to be.
Open World, meaningful (and hard choices), excellent writing. It’s the best game I’ve played in recent years. It can also run on a potatoe, but that shouldn’t be a problem for you. :)
Satisfactory made me late for work the first week I played it
Can say with almost certainty that you’d love Planet Crafter. Think subnautica except you’re terraforming a planet. Overwhelmingly positive reviews and I could not put it down
If you want something where you can just unwind & chill, look into the Slime Rancher games.
I liked spiderman and death stranding is also pretty nice although it’s big and kinda slow
Just Cause 3 is great fun.
I recently picked up Metro Exodus and it’s been a great experience.
God of War is OK,looks nice but felt a bit constrained and formulaic.
