Anon is looking for a new video game

I feel like anon could’ve researched this online ahead of time
- Sometimes, I wanna pretend it is 2005 again, and aak the clerk aboit something. Of course, it won't be at GameStop and more at a local mom & pop shop, and I get most of my games online these days, but yaknow...
It's all just bullet sponges..
- Vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 is like that on higher dificulties and it sucks. Luckily there are mods to fix that.
  
  Skyrim does this too, fortunately mods fix it. I want hard to mean I can die as easily as everyone else.
- Post game of borderlands 3 is stupid in this regard. Normal enemies becomes a question whether full ammo in all weapons deal enough damage combined, given that they are all headshots.
Fake. This guy has never been called “sir”.
- Gay: if the cashier was male, he would've loved the game.
Holy shit I never heard of this before but totally get why I love Valheim. It's actually got some mechanics and not only numbers!!

Edit: clarifying not just mechanics but a mix.
- In a market plagued by generic survival crafting games, valheims devs wondered "what if we were the most generic of all?"
  
  In a quick comparison Valheim vs Terraria. Terraria is numbers not mechanics.
  
  I've challenged myself to kill mobs way before I was supposed to in epic souls-like battle and succeeded. There were even streamers trying to clear the game in "reverse" boss order.
  
  Can't pull that in most games.
- Valheim is absolutely numbers. Every fucking thing you do in that game is determined by your skill level in said thing. Running, attacking, crafting, even sleeping. It's all fucking numbers.
Is it myth of the sword or myth of the gun, tell me retail employee. Tell me!
- I can't stand when retail cash-register workers can't engage with my obscure philosophical analysis of niche media details.
this is just the gym is based or cringe text with GameStop
So which type is balatro
- Largely mechanics, apart from the need to unlock jokers.
  
  Fun for a game so centered around numbers to not actually be numbers
  
  Unlock jokers? It has an "unlock all" button in the collection section, if you don't mind missing out on achievements which I don't. Never understood them.
- Luck.
  
  There are plenty of mechanics, but whether you win is determined more by what cards you see than your actual strategy, at least after a point.
Remnant vs Sekiro
- Better yet: Pokemon vs Titan Souls.
  
  In Pokemon, if you lose, you grind. In Titan Souls, if you lose, you try over and over until you win (or give up).
nah i get it.
Still a hard game though.
