No Mans Sky at launch but man… What a comeback for them!

Nintendo being Nintendo

Ha ha… Take my updoot 👏

Yes, but the breakdown of the FiST acronym was very clumsily thrown together based around that concept.

FiST: Forged in Shadow Torch

Hells yes!

Greed. The answer is greed.

Ya but what about the AAAA games?

Oh yeah, my bad. Did that completely on autopilot!

I had a great time with it (mostly) but I don’t want to play it again… If that makes any sense? Ha ha.

I hate other souls like games but managed my way through Elden Ring because of this and what /u/ampersandrew said about going away and coming back after exploring and leveling a bit more.

Not sure exactly how much this fits the bill for you but Kena: Bridge of Spirits may be what you’re looking for. I personally describe it as a Pixar game with Souls-ish combat.

Yeah I tried this with Genshin but she’s still as grating ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bloody Paimon. (Genshin Impact)

Wow, thought I’d be in the majority with this but Baldur’s Gate 3.

Followed closely by HiFi Rush and Sea of Stars.

Huh, alright. Colour me interested.

What a ding bat
