I really really enjoyed the gameplay loop in Half Life 2 where you have a vehicle and traverse the map in a linear way. You travel, stop, solve puzzles, fight and again travel (and get upgrades along the way).
You kind of form a relationship with your vehicle. It was such a great feeling. It feels like a journey and was oddly satisfying and scratched this specific itch.
Any game suggestions that can trigger a similar feeling? Bonus if there’s some survival stuff thrown in like hunger, fuel, vehicle maintenance etc. :)
EDIT: Just to add, I get a similar feeling when I play FTL. You have a ship that you continue improving, and you are going from point A to B with adventures along the way.
Far Lone Sails
But i get attached to vehicles in all games. Lol
Halo, GTA, Saints Row, etc
I second FLS, it’s an unforgettable experience
This looks pretty interesting! First time I’m hearing about this game. I’ve just wishlisted it and will probably try it out soon. Thanks!
Also Far: Changing Tides came out recently as well. It’s the sequel to Far: Lone Sails. You’d like both of these, I think.
