The Return of the Obra Dinn is one of my favourite games. It's an indie game but quite well known so I'm not sure if it counts as a hidden gem.

I really liked The Case of the Golden Idol too, and its DLC.

You can see I like detective games haha..

I was playing it in xbox. I think I may already have it on Steam from some sale or something but I just prefer to sit on the sofa as I work behind the screen all day already.

RDR2 has the best open-world in my opinion in that the world really feels alive. Skyrim is probably second best.

I'm playing it at the moment. Today I smacked a poacher to death with my mace. Great game.

I started playing it on Game Pass but got stuck and then it got taken off of Game Pass. I like detective games though so I'll try to finish it at some point.

Yeah, the sad fact is that no one has even come close to creating a Skyrim-like. The Witcher 3 had imitators like the recent Assassins Creed games etc. but there is still nothing quite like The Elder Scrolls.

It makes it harder. I doubt most people are that determined.

Even Microsoft wasn't happy with Redfall - I don't think it was like they decided to release it in that state because of Game Pass, it seems the whole project was a greed-driven disaster that started prior to the Microsoft acquisition.

Hahaha, GTA San Andreas had that right? You could get super fat and then you had to go to the gym, you could even have a heart attack if you did nothing, that was pretty hilarious.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has the stuff where if your clothes are dirty or ragged people will comment on it and treat you differently, and that's like an AA studio, so hopefully they can manage it.

I mean the future Story Pack expansion that is mentioned in the Deluxe Edition. Given they are already selling it, it doesn't seem so speculative.

The Bethesda bugs are usually amusing and loveable though.

I just hope it keeps the morality system of the original games and the freedom you had (like you could just go and rob and murder people etc.) that really made the original Fable stand out over other RPGs at the time as few franchises gave you such freedom (The Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex etc.)
