Best game in this genre?
>>730526521system shock 2 ss1 is a better game but its not an imsim
SS2
prey was such an experience
>>730526521This and Mooncrash were pretty goodOnly issue is you outscale the enemies way too quickly that they just become trivial to take out
Peripeteia, better than any of the shit mentioned in this thread.
>>730526521Not the best but definitely the most mechanically interesting
>>730527336interesting
>>730526521Unironically Bioshock 2Protector Trials was where it peaked. If you're gonna have a game with complex levels and a billion toys, make me think about how to use everything to get the high score
>>730528504>to get the high scoreretard.
>>730527336what does this image have to do with anything?
Blood West is worth playing
>>730528702For some reason I just can't get into the expansion, quit playing twice now
>>730526521>this genreimmersive sim? tears of the kingdom
>>730527172I doubt even the Peri devs would say that. What it does well it does extremely well, but in its current state it's a very flawed gem.>>730527336Ctrl Alt Ego felt more like a puzzle game than an imsim to me, even though I appreciate the sheer breadth of its mechanics and wiggle room for niggerrigging solutions.
dEUS eX
>>730526725Yeah I've never been so quickly disappointed
>>730526521The genre of doing everything terribly but doing a lot of it?
>>730528549that is exactly what you do in Protector Trialsyou've clearly never played it
>>730528702Why?
>>730529887It's just a cowboy game about hunting monsters. Personally I played it as a stealthy guy stabbing monsters or shooting them with a high powered rifle, but you can use a variety of weapons. It has a zombie/voodoo theme to it
>>730526610SS2 isn't an immersive sim either.
>>730529114>Ctrl Alt Ego felt more like a puzzle game than an imsim to meThats a good thing. Thanks for selling me on it without even realizing it. When "imsims" (fake genre) lose the tightness that comes with puzzle design. They become comically trivial almost "interaction for interactions sake" games.
>>730528702Just got done with my 5th playthrough the other day. Fucking love Blood West.
>>730529887NTA but it's really fun.
>>730528760What would you say turns you off to it? I personally loved it, my only complaint is that it's too short. On my second go with the DLC I found a staff that shoots those blue head spirits at enemies, which was cool. Better yet there's a trinket that upgrades it while equipped, firing the red versions from the demons in act 3, turning the staff into a rocket launcher. Fun stuff.
>>730529362 lmao yeah, imsim is like the buffet of genres. Nothing is cooked quite right but you get to grab everything with your grubby hands anyway. Half the charm.
>>730531071>What would you say turns you off to it?swamps are gay
>>730532171Swamps are cool, though I do wish we got a continuation of the mountain area.
>>730526521That one and original Deus Ex. There's good adjacent games under the 'imsim' umbrella but those two have the most freedom.
>>730526521ss1
Are there any upcoming imsims worth knowing about?
the best imsims are bethesda games.
>>730527336Checked out the Steam page for the game. Looks cool. Never heard of it.
