What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist? (reddthat.com)

Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn't really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky battles, have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies, or a dystopian horror game set in a Minecraft style world. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar ideas for games or fantasies for possible games?

What's your ideas for games that doesn't really exist, or might not even really be possible to make?

Search and Rescue game. I'm not really a pacifist, I don't have a problem with violence in games. But it would he nice to have an action game that didn't involve slaughtering endless waves of mooks for a change.

There's plenty of adrenaline, skill and gear porn to be had in the genre, so why don't we see more of it?

Not sure if It's what you're looking for, but have you tried Stormworks: Build and Rescue?

I've picked it up at the last steam sale, but not gotten around to playing it yet.

It's not search and rescue as such, but Snowrunner is a cool take on disaster recovery. The action comes from a weird place, too; driving slowly over difficult terrain. You need to react quickly and keep your wits about you all while doing 4mph. Crawling through mud in an eight-wheeled truck while desperately trying not to tip over.

It's an odd mixture of relaxation, sheer frustration, and job satisfaction. Oh and there's plenty of gear porn if you like ridiculously powerful machinery too.
