Looking for a rec: story oriented RPG with minimal focus on combat (lemmy.ca)

Preferably in the high fantasy or sci fi genre.

I enjoy playing games like Chronotrigger, Tales of Symphonia, Witcher 3 (easiest difficulty), Mass Effect (in Story mode), Outer Worlds (in Story mode), etc.

Basically, story first, mechanics second. What's your fav?

Abzu (undersea exploration, relatively chill, but I never completed it)

@troyunrau@lemmy.ca Abzu isn't an RPG, but I'd still second this recommendation, as it's very chill to play, has zero combat, and has a lovely story to it. Would also recommend Spirit of the North for the same reason. No dialogue in either, though - the story is very much in the visuals, music, and atmosphere rather than words.

Fair. I did stray from the "rpg" theme on... Most of my responses.

Will look up Spirit of the North though! It sounds right up my alley

Oh yes, if you liked Abzu, you'll very likely like Spirit of the North too. :)
