Suggest some beautiful games. Genre doesn’t matter. 3d or 2d no big deal. Hyper Light Drifter, Satisfactory, Cliff Empire, etc.

Mostly I’m talking about moments in the game where you can just stand there and look at the world and not be bored.

Thankssss.

    Monster Hunter World is five years old and holds up great.

    • bask in the sun halfway up the Ancient Forest with a Tobi-Kadachi (giant white electric flying squirrelsnake; chill until you hit it)

    • climb up to the top of the Coral Highlands cat colony and watch the sky jellyfish float by in the sunset

    • share a hot spring with snow monkeys in the Hoarfrost Reach

    They did a great job of making the maps feel like a living system that goes on while you’re not there. (Sadly, this is much less true of the newest MH game, Rise, where the maps are full of traversal puzzles but the wildlife pretty much all exists only to attack you.)
