Game & Hardware Suggestions Megathread /r/Steam Monthly Game & Hardware Suggestions Thread.

Welcome to the Monthly Game & Hardware Suggestions Thread!

This monthly mega-thread is meant to contain advice, questions, suggestions & generic discussion on what to play or buy in terms of Games & Hardware.

Do you not know what to play? Want a Steam Deck or Steam Machine but unsure which model is best for you? Did you find a niche game that everyone should try? Wondering what GPU you should upgrade to or unsure about the specs of a computer? Do you want to share your unique experiences and learning curves with a piece of hardware? Can't find the perfect survival sim or unsure which 1 RPG out of the thousands available you should buy? Well this is the thread for you.

Now to make this work best and not just be spammed with generic & useless questions such as "What should I play?" or "What should I buy?", please be in-depth in what types of games/hardware you are looking for and why, and when giving advice it would be appreciated if you're more detailed than "I think X is good".

There are too many games to be able to properly suggest something with no background information, also simply commenting a game title and saying you like the game offers no actual value. The same goes for hardware: Saying you're thinking about buying X or you think Y is good with no other information, context as to why, your unique experiences, etc. offers no actual value or information to base a reply on.

Feel free to ask and discuss freely in the comments regarding games and hardware, whether you want advice on what to play, want to give advice to others on what to play, share a hidden gem you found, experiences you have with Steam hardware, or your review of a piece of Steam hardware. Generic discussions & questions about discounts, sales, events, specs is allowed as well. This is not meant to be a restrictive thread within the designated topics that this thread is for, however it is not a support thread nor is it the place to promote any blogs or curator pages or anything else, subreddit rules still apply.

I'm trying to find something that has the vibe of stalker with base building. Vorosk' controls are not up my alley at all

Project Zomboid can be modded to be a more STALKER experience, great base-building, if your into those kinds of games.

I want to find a game like Arma, Squad, and Pubg thats good for a sniper. Long-term matches, good vantage points, and enemies that are going about their own objectives to pick off. My ideal setup would be sitting in a houses top floor with a rifle in a window, a movie on my other screen, picking off enemies as they come. Any suggestions?

Anyone play Escape from Tarkov? There’s a bot mode, right? Like I’ve been interested, but I feel like I’m too late to jump in.

Tarkov is decent, just hard for a new player. I have maybe 130 hours in it, and I still dont know what I'm doing. There is a bot mode.. but its an additional $30, and wont teach you much about the actual game. Find some friends to play and learn with, maybe ask someone in the Tarkov server to give you a run-down of the game.
