I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant (sh.itjust.works)

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

How has Kenshi not been mentioned

[–] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Kenshi is pretty much the answer unless OP has already played Kenshi so much that they're a god now and they're hoping for the next thing.

Kenshi really is a good fit for OP's ask. You'll feel real small and insignificant when you're being cooked into a stew by cannibals.

Should have also mentioned Mount & Blade, Warband is the old but gold with lots of great mods (Prophecy of Pendor is excellent if you want some low fantasy) but M&B2: Bannerlord is coming along.
