Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action.
Do you know any games where there’s no story (or very minimal/skippable one), and the game mechanics alone carry the game?
EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. There are some that I’ve never heard of and look very interesting. Will definitely pick some of them up.
Rogue Legacy was going to be my suggestion. Such an easy (as in no stories/puzzles to keep track of) game to pick up and play. It’s something that was lost a bit on the second game. But it looks like you’ve played it.
Dungeon Encounters is a pure turn-based RPG with almost no story.
Theatrhythm is a fun music game.
Sound Shapes is a platformer.
Immortal Redneck is a FPS rogue-like.
That’s just what’s in my games list that might be what you’re looking for.
