Hello everyone!
I'm creating this discussion to ask You for help...
TLDR: I need games that are unique, different and simply good and interesting. I will appreciate any suggestions.

My sister often asks me to find her some interesting, good games so she could play from time to time.
Some games she really liked are (in random order):

  • Life is Strange
  • Shelter / Shelter 2
  • GTA games
  • Mafia 2
  • The Magic Circle
  • Worm.is
  • The I of the Dragon
  • One Finger Death Punch
  • The Sims games
  • Dino Island
  • Zoo Tycoon games
  • Flatout: Ultimate Carnage
  • Mount & Blade games
  • Antichamber
  • Horse riding games which I don't remember names of
  • Mirror's Edge
  • Viscera Cleanup Detail games
  • Beat Hazard
  • GUN
  • Shadow of the Collossus (PS2)
  • Deer Hunter
  • Art of Magic

Some games/genres she didn't like (in random order):

  • Point&Click games
  • Platform games
  • Sidescrollers
  • Top-down games
  • FPS games
  • Portal games
  • Stardew Valley (she didn't like graphics...)
  • basically every game without animals/pets and/or uniqe gameplay/elements/features

The problem is that I have no idea what else I could suggest her since she dislikes most of the games I thought she might like.

It's not like she wouldn't play platform game or something. It would just need to be something different. For example: Super Mario Bros X (in which You can play both in the same time).
Basically, I'm looking for some games that are unique, different than most of the games. Every game she liked had something different, unique. That's what I'm looking for. Also, my sister loves animals and since there aren't many "animal/pet" based games, I consider them as unique as well :P

Every suggestion is appreciated!

I actually wanted to get Barbie Horse something for her but then gave up since she's too old for barbies :D Not sure if she would play a Barbie game just for a horseriding.
Heard good things about Bioshock Infinite, that's right... So bad it has DLCs which are so expensive...
I've never tried Contrast, is it any good? Will need to check it.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

the game without the dlcs is good enough to merit a buy, and if u like it and want the dlc u can get them after.
Contrast is pretty cool platformer. i personally enjoy the artstyle.
Also u could try the sims 3 maybe + pets dlc if she wants a horse, its definitely a much more ''mature game'' than barbie.

A Story About My Uncle is a good one. It's kind of platformer but lots of stuff to interact with around.

Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist - free, short, funny.
Puzzle Quest 1 & 2 - good old match3 with RPG flavour.
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes - something similiar to above.
Small World 2 - tabletop game, good for some quick games before work or school.
Talisman - also board game with RPG features.

Those games aren't what she would like to play I'm afraid. She isn't into match 3 games. She also isn't into RPG games that much.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions anyway! :)

Since she enjoyed GTA games, she could also enjoy Bully.
Since she enjoyed Mirror's Edge, she could also enjoy Remember Me.
If she's into melancholic exploration, she might take a liking to Gone Home.
If she's more likely to try a game with a pet in it then have her try Valiant Hearts.

I think she tried Audiosurf but didn't like it that much because it wasn't as good as Beat Hazard.
Will try with Papers Please and Good and Evil. Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Not really... Perhaps I've described what she lieks and dislikes in a wrong way? Not sure.
She actuallyt old me yesterday that she likes every type of game and it just has to be GOOD or has to have something unique.

Dragon Age: Inquisition - Although, it's not on steam. I recommend it.
Civilization V - If she can handle long strategy games.

She used to play HEroes 3 with me back then but I don't think she would like Civ V.
What's different in Dragon Age: Inquisition than in other cRPG games? Is it better than, let's say, Skyrim? You know, Skyrim has 1st/3rd person perspective and has horses and other mounts which could encourage my sister to play it. Sadly, she didn't want to even touch the game when I recommended it to her.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

DA:I, different in Skyrim, since it is newer and more like witcher than Skyrim. A lot off cut scenes, rich story. You have different mounts (horses, rams, etc.). You have party of 4 people always, your own character and 3 other npcs, where you can switch between them for different actions and you level up, gear up each character. That's what I find about it unique. Also your choices matter, since sometimes you choose not to kill some enemy and few your party members may approve your action or disapprove and it can lead to potentionally character leaving your place forever or opening new ways of information about them. I enjoy it quite a bit myself right now (24 hours played already). Though I have about 80+ hours on Skyrim. :P

Comment has been collapsed.

I've tried Darksiders (the first one only) personally and I can't say it was interesting. It was decent but the only thing w basically do in that game it to slay enemies :P It was amazing but after few 30-minutes sessions I became boring and never came back to this game. I also don't think my sister would like this game.
Or am I missing someething and the game keeps getting better the further I am in it?
Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

If she just doesn't like 2D platformers and not, in general, the concept of jumping in games, then Contrast and Lifeless Planet are two excellent games with very different and unique atmosphere.
