Hello Ladies, Gentlemen, Chads and Mrks, I finished playing Total war Atilla Legendary challenge and started scouring the internet for games that challenging and Addictive, but all I found on the internet is well trash, which got me an Idea for this thread. This is a thread for anyone out there that has also suffered the same thing as I did, trying to find a game to play after finishing a really interesting one and decides to find other games that is similar but you just can't find one. So you kept searching and then you lost all hopes and decided to give up and you shut yourself away from humanity never to see daylight again. But don't worry I am here to save you as usual.
The purpose of this thread is simple, we try and list the best games for each and every genres out there, be it PC, Consoles or Mobiles.
The listing will be based on:

I will try to find links to download or buy the games picked in the thread and update the OP with it.

Anyway, I will go first.
For the Strategy games out there, I will like to propose that Total war Atilla be put on the list (It should be chess but well who plays it anymore).
This is coming from someone who plays lots of strategy games, Anyone who has a strategy game that has a multiplayer, can feel free to challenge me, I will take you on, as long as it is battle based and controlling of soldiers.

The reason why I picked Total war Atilla out of the the total war games I have played and believe me I have played a lot.
It is the most comprehensive, sure it may not have the best graphics, but it is quite challenging, here is an intro video and also a gameplay video below

1. The intro (Watch till the end)




2. Here is an example of battle game play, The stamp is at the time the battle began (1:42)




3. An interface video of the world map and the likes


I should also add that since it is based on a true life stories, in some cases no matter the choice you make, if you are a faction that was at war with each other during that time period, the diplomatic relations between you will fail no matter your choice, which is a downside to the game.

Also anyone who wants tips on the game feel free to ask here or in DM.

Nice I will add it to the list
 
I really wanna put forward Sekiro as my personal number 1 action-adventure. It might be expected, given it won GOTY, but I thought the gameplay and swordplay were divine. To a point where it's my benchmark for good swordplay in other games, the fluidity of the animations and enemy diversity keeps combat fresh and fast-paced. A lot of Soulslike fans dislike the one character with little build variety, but for me, Sekiro was never going to be a true RPG like its predecessors, and I think the advances made in its combat were worth the trade-off and set it apart from other Fromsoftware Soulsborne games. Its streamlined deflect-attack based combat is incredibly satisfying and the sound design only magnifies this further.

The story is a short and simple one that plays by Fromsoft conventional themes of stagnation, filth, and cycles, but also includes a personal element for our protagonist Wolf, that tells a tale of loyalty and willingness to end a cycle of stagnation with a samurai backdrop. The various areas have incredibly well-designed aesthetics that push the boundaries of what the setting allows. The music is top-notch and IMO just as good as the various stellar soundtracks in other Fromsoft games, and it achieves this by staying relatively within the bounds of being Japanese. The fact that such awesome bangers like Owl (Father), Divine Dragon, Fountainhead Palace, and The Gentle Blade still manage to make an impression on me speaks loads of how good I think the music is.

The challenge pretty much speaks for itself, and the fact that the likes of Demon of Hatred, Isshin, and Owl remain infamous for many players while also remaining mostly respected by veterans tells you something about the boss difficulty. Areas are fairly challenging, even for people who've played the game for some time, and it keeps you on your toes even if you are lazy.
Dishonored is a close second for me personally. The gameplay is divine, and the various abilities given to you makes the game incredibly unique and fun to experiment with. The worldbuilding is fascinating, and its commentary on politics and social classes are shockingly profound for a video game of its time. The worldbuilding is amazing, and the detail of the environments and the NPC conversations makes everything feel alive. It's a fun challenge that requires creativity and skill to pull off many different maneuvers that the mind can think of.

ULTRAKILL AND I WILL NOT ELABORATE ANY FURTHER
Click to expand...
I WILL!!

ULTRAKILL is a fast-paced first person shooter with the aesthetics of a retro shooter like Quake, the crazy movement options of Titanfall, and a story that's basically a REALLY good re-telling of Divine Comedy (Those stories written by the Dante guy where he visits Hell and other places). It sports an unique soundtrack whose tracks sound completely different from one another while still fitting the theme of the level you're in, and features a cast of enemies who all interact with the player in different ways. You're given different options on how to play through a level, whether it'd be taking out entire groups of enemies with the Marksman revolver, a gun that let's you fire out a coin that you can then shoot and make it ricochet and land onto the weakpoint of an enemy, take out a large opponent with many types of explosives, or beat the current hardest boss of the game by ******* parrying his attacks with your robo-fists.

This game has it all and has completely ruined my enjoyment of video games. So anyways I'm nominating it for Action.

Noted both, I will find a link to download and buy them later and update the OP
 
Genshin impact & Honkai impact 3rd are two great games from Mihoyo
Having played both and experiencing how it gets you glued to your screen, I personally prefer Honkai impact to Genshin impact.
You should see how we argue Honkai impact Vs PGR in Anime family even when they know Honkai is peak
Not only is Honkai harder than Genshin but it also has this fast-paced fighting style.
Punishing Gray Raven is also as good as both and just as face-paced as Honkai

Here's a little Honkai gameplay..

Definitely Yakuza 0 for Action Adventure. Kamurocho and Sotenbori are vibrant and always fun to run around, and when combat kicks in, it almost always seamlessly blends in to where you're currently standing in the cities. The minigames are also addicting, consisting of Disco, Karaoke, Pocket Circuit, Cabaret Club Battle, and more. The story is also impeccable, very emotional and easy to get into. The music is also a banger. I don't have much else to say.

So in which order are you proposing it?
 
I would put Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Trilogy somewhere in the middle or the bottom of the top 5 in Action-Adventure.

As once explained, nothing tops the level of narrative writing the Ezio trilogy did. It was a fundamental departure from the stoic setting of AC1 into a more vibrant and thriving environment of Renaissance Italy all the way to Ottoman Turkey, and to detail one man's life from birth to death in such vivid detail is a feat rarely many people can pull off with such grace, a young womanizer hardened by tragedy and battle to become a man of incredible wisdom and experience, such a story is hardly repeated, let alone made from a character's birth to their death, and it shows in Ubisoft's refusal to further develop and build up new protagonists and to just keep jumping from one new setting to another which explains their current mediocrity. The old gameplay was also great in its own way that it promoted player agency above all else, that it didn't hold your hand too much and allowed you to choose where you wanted to go, and the combat was also pretty decent, but we both know it's the parkour and free-running that catches everyone's attention. And the hoods. And beating up the Pope in fisticuffs.

There's also the topic of how insanely detailed the historical cities in these games were to a T, ignoring some of the few anachronism, impressing most historians out there too.

possibly one of the greatest gems I've seen for a mobile game, the best aspect of Guardian Tales is its story (especially post world 9) the gameplay is fun, and I think within what it is (a gacha) it's pretty kind to anyone and more so now that they're giving away one of the best characters just for completing the story.

this is just an excuse for more people to play it lol.
