@Donjuanme Yeah, you're not wrong. The trick is, "games these days", which I enjoy a fair amount of, but I'm also interested in games from across time, so older titles as well.
Those are a little iffier to play given some lack the settings or options, and sometimes also any cheats. Do you happen to know of any sites/resources advising how to use emulators to sorta do that for older titles?
Alternatively may need to review which old titles I have that have cheats for that kinda thing...
If you go back far enough you don't need to do settings or options, they used to be called 'cheats' and they were hidden behind a series of button inputs (or sometimes a cheat menu)
If I'm properly interpreting your statement you aren't very inclined to use a steam account?
Would you say you're into first person/third person puzzle games? Or do you like your games to have action in the gameplay?
Right, as I mention though, from what I recall they didn't always have cheats, or necessarily the sort I might want like removing random battles for the games with them.
I use Steam, but I also go for games outside of Steam, which is what my message was indicating. I'm into first/third-person puzzle games, for sure.
Not much of a fan of Bethesda's style of RPGs (given you asked in another comment). They're too buggy/unstable in my experience, but also plainly RPGs.
I believe most of the "remastered"final fantasy games can have random encounters turned off, as well as cheats to eliminate the grinding, I really like ff8 myself,
Check out submautica, Syberia, disco Elysium, and return of the obra dinn they're each dripping with well designed world's.
