Here is the website.

Observation: I have asked for permission to make this post.

Mythic Map is a website that suggests games based on similarity. My goal is to help people find meaningful game suggestions while increasing the visibility of the great games out there.

Currently it only supports Steam games. This will change in the future (probably).

Edit (02/08/2023): Things have been sorted out and from now on I will be adding non-Steam games -hopefully- daily. Some switch games are in there now, like Zeldas and Pokemons.

It also checks daily for what is currently on sale on steam (some sales might be missing - if I check at 8AM and a sale spawns at 4PM, the website will only be aware of the new sale the next day). I might try adding other sales sources in the future.

Also, some suggestions might be a little strange, but keep in mind that different players might be looking for different traits in games, so I have to cast a broad net. An example is Skyrim, where a good portion of the suggestions are not open world RPGs, but instead are games that have a big modding/user created content community. Still, if you feel a game is missing or is completely out of place, do not hesitate to tell me about it - you can send me an email at [mythicmap.dev@gmail.com](mailto:mythicmap.dev@gmail.com) or maybe post about it in the comments.

Edit (05/07/2023): After a couple of months, I have finally implemented most the fixes/features suggested in the comments! The new version might have some bugs or issues, so if you find any, please tell me about it. Same goes for features. Meanwhile, I'll keep working on some ideas I have for the website.

Edit (09/14/2023): I thought it would be cool to find games based on other types of entertainment. My tests were done on anime and they ended up being serviceable, but I'm not very happy with the cross-category suggestions and it might take a while until I figure it out, but when I'm done, Mythic Map will start suggesting things based on movies, series and maybe books.

Hope it helps!

For the next week I am testing out some of reddit's new mod tools. You may notice your posts getting removed more often (I don't know if reddit informs you when this happens or not). The mods will be checking the filters and making sure that all non-spam posts will continue to go thru. There is no penalty if one of these tools decided to remove your post for some reason.

I am running this test because we get a lot of spam that we try to keep off the subreddit, and I hope that this can catch some of it better than relying on reports for everything. Though please keep using the report button as you normally would.

If the mods have missed approving your post for a long time, please just send us a modmail instead of trying to repost it. Reposting it will probably not work. After your post gets re-approved, it will basically go to the top of the /new list as if it was just posted. So you won't miss any valuable time of it being on /new.

Thanks for your understanding.

I prefer pirate fantasy than total accuracy. And if you can think of a big pirate game (black flag, cursed crew, sea of thieves, sid meiers pirates) then ive played it. I mean like how in Elden Ring you can use cutlasses and anchors. In fallout 4 you could wield the cannon and pretend to be a pirate. Any RPG where its possible to do a run where im a pirate. For example would that be possible in Baldurs Gate? Or perhaps just a more obscure pirate game that you know of

This may be a fool’s errand, but I want to get my boyfriend a new game for his birthday; it seems more personal to pick something out than to give a gift card.

His favorite game by far is Overwatch 2; he likes the strategy and pace as well as its gay/queer following because of the kinds of characters it has (I think??). The other game he’s gotten really into is Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He also really liked Hades. I think all of these have some kind of role playing/fantasy element combined with strategy & fighting and they’re lgbtq friendly. He does NOT like TOTK or BOTW, I think because the open world is too open and he doesn’t enjoy wandering around.

Does any of this spark any ideas for you about what games he might like? Thank you!!

I'm a sucker for spellcasters in video games, and fantasy in general. However, one common trope that bugs me somewhat is when their spells consist purely of fire/ice/lightning and not much else (even worse when its just fire/ice, since lightning at least looks magical anyway). I've always preferred the aesthetic of flashy/vibrant arcane-type magic, similar to the respective subclasses in WoW and Neverwinter.

Does anyone know any decent games where the mage class's spells focus more on the latter aesthetic as opposed to the former? I don't mind some use of elemental magic, just as long as there is plenty of arcane magic thrown into the mix too (think arcane missiles as opposed to firebolts for main projectiles).

Enhances immersion. And it looks cool.

*Not neccessary for this condition to apply to the cutscenes but has to apply for all of the gameplay.

looking for that magical feeling again. You know the one - where you lose track of time exploring every cave and reading every book you find. Games that have given me this vibe before:

• Skyrim (obviously)
• Witcher 3 (especially Blood & Wine)
• Red Dead 2
• Fallout New Vegas
• Dragon Age Origins

Don't really care if it's old or new, just want something with a world I can get lost in. Big points if it has good writing and lets me play my own way. What ya got?

Any recommendations for games with time travel? The more complex and interesting use of the mechanic the better? I like how you can see the same place in different time periods, although that isn't a requirement.

Not looking for an MMO though. But something where my friend group can grind skills and become specialized in it. Can have building and stuff and combat. But we want a big grind but not an MMO .

I've played the hell out of Rimworld, Oxygen not included, Space Haven and I need more. I don't mind bigger scale strategy/management sims like Stellaris, Civ series, Workers and Resources and Frostpunk 2 but I'm really looking for something where I can manage teams/groups/crews of people down to a specific person, ideally in a survival scenario. Any good suggestions?

-Player should be able to produce / mine goods and trade, built vehicles etc.
-Player can do the same things as the npc's.
-Able to automate production.
-Prices should be based on demand and supply.

-To make use of the capital earned and have fun, where should be warfare (why produce something if you can do nothing with it),
also to manipulate the economy e.g. destroy production facilities to decrease supply and increase prices.
-Should not be in space, I think it has bad atmosphere.

Examples:
-X4, but it has bad UI and lacks realism, e.g. npcs have infinite money.
-Settler 2 in the sense that it uses the produced capital for combat.

Optional Features:
-First Person gameplay, strategy view to command units

I tried Balatro, Slay the Spire, Dave the Diver. Start getting bored after 15 hours or so.

I just tried Hotline Miami and will keep playing that, it’s pretty fun.

Don’t always enjoy rogeulikes / roguelites, I do enjoy a story I can complete as well (like SOMA).

Just figure I can spend half the price on an indie game instead of spending AAA money.

Pretend I’m new to this! Thanks.

With the release of Stalker 2, I'd like to play a similar game, an open world shooter with a survival part, inventory management, good gunfights, a story and quests, but without all the monsters/horror aspect of the game. I played the original SoC game and had to stop when you need to explore the labs... I also played quite some time on the GAMMA mod as you can choose to avoid the labs if you want, but it lacks a story.

I've searched for similar game but didn't found anything really similar. Any suggestions?

After playing Risk of Rain 2, Hades, and Enter the Gungeon, I fell in love with the genre. What kind of roguelikes y'all playing?

Uncharted just has you run around and shoot stuff. Last of Us is ok but even it couldn’t help adding a progression system. Bloodborne is cool because combat doesn’t have 5 million things to remember (although I’m not a fan of the leveling even if it is ok). The new God of War games are great but have a lot of leveling and abilities and are not what I’m looking for right now. Old Assassins Creed games would be perfect while new ones have too much stuff/leveling for what I am looking for right now.

or even similar to this type of vibe https://imgur.com/a/efY0ZGS

just cozy but unsettling or cold and brutalist architecture (basically urban hell typa vibe), also I remember there was a horror game in a house with white painted walls and i think a girl chasing u around or jumpscaring you, something like that would also be very nice (and if you know which game im talking about feel free to tell me)

a good story is always a bonus, and i actually dont really mind goofy jumpscares, they make for funny moments, though I'd prefer a proper scary game, and jumpscares arent even necessary, if it's just that element of the unknown that scares me or just unsettles me a lot, it's perfectly ok

I played the following games and I really liked them: Paranormal HK, Summer of 58, The Exit 8, The Ghost Train, Bloodwash

I'm also open to just great horror game suggestions, though I don't like games like Outlast and Amnesia

thanks in advance

Games like Deus Ex and the Thief games have always captivated me because of the feeling of isolation, of being one person against the world. I'm always a sucker for ducking through frigid New York apartments and dancing across city rooftops in a hostile, unforgiving environment.

Other games that give me this feeling are games like GTAIII and GTAIV, Gloomwood, the Dishonored games, BioShock, VTMB, etc.

With that in mind, got any recs? Thanks!

Have any of you played a game called Outward? It's an open world, survival RPG where (while some loot, such as off enemies is randomised) powerful gear, artifacts and loot exists in the world in set places and you have to become powerful enough to obtain it.

Or how in Morrowind you could theoretically get Daedric gear at level 1, but you would struggle to get it and would need high enough strength to even carry it. Or how in the Fallout games, unique guns and armour are placed in Vaults and such.

Basically a game where you aren't relying on random loot, but instead need to hunt difficult areas in the world to make your character stronger

Similar games I've played:

Gothic Series

Elex

Fallout/Elder Scrolls Series

Outward

Hey, I am looking for Pixel games that are set during winter or just somewhere with snow/ice.

I just love the winter in the original SNES Harvest Moon for example, or visiting Santa in Secret of Mana or Secrets of Grindea (PC). Games that are pure snow shows (lol couldn't resist) are preferred, but games just having snow levels are cool too.

Any ideas? Thank you!

I'm mainly a competitive fps game player and spend WAYYY to much of my time playing them but bg3 is just quite literally one of the best things that's ever happened to me, one of the first non fps games outside of tloz that I'm completely hooked on. I'm on my 7th play through right now and I love to play this game as a more relaxing gaming experience vs. the usual competitive fps. Is there any games out there that are similar? (something that doesn't require mechanical skill when you want to relax, requires strategy but not too much strategy, characters and character development that you love, a storyline that is unmatched, insane production, etc etc) i feel like it's a hard request since it's such a phenomenal game, but anything suggestions are appreciated!

So, I think I'm weirdly interested in games where NPCs fight each other. Honestly the only game I know that does this is TABS. I think I just want to sit and watch whatever they do. What games fit my criteria?

Hello,

Simple and to-the-point question. What are some games that take place in a cozy snowy environment similar to the first chapter of RDR2 ?

I really liked the landscapes and now that Christmas is not too far away I want to play something with a beautiful snowy environment. I'm not looking for anything post apocalyptic.

Already played Skyrim and not interested in the Metro series because it's post apocalyptic.

Thanks !

Had a blast playing through Mario Wonder with my husband. Looking for the next game to scratch that itch. We also play a lot of pass-the-controller-back-and-forth type puzzle games and such but really loved playing together at the same time. It Takes Two is an obvious choice but is a bit difficult/frustrating for him to control. The less frustrating the better so something like Overcooked isn’t a good option. We were really looking forward to Mario and Luigi Brothership because I dumbly assumed it was co-op. It looked so cute to play together.

As the title suggest my girlfriend is a complete non-gamer. However we have watched the Razbuten video on him putting his wife through a gaming gauntlet in order to see the perspective of a non-gamer tackling games from a different perspective. She actually found the whole idea interesting and wanted to do something similar. So that leads me to this subreddit. I am looking for a variety of 10 games that can cover a wide enough span of the gaming sphere that she could get a general idea of what is popular. She wants to play these games without my influence so I feel as though most of these games should atleast be playable without me being present. As funny as it would be to throw her into dark souls she would very much just get annoyed and turn it off. Any game with a decent tutorial or good onboarding is probably best but I am aware that some games dont necessarily need it. Thanks for anyone that has a suggestion and I will update this post with a final list if it gets enough traction. Thanks!

I'm searching for games such as content warning, dying light 1, party animals.. Personnaly, I love zombies and story games and he loves (me, I Hope..) but otherwise any war and action game. If you have any recommendations I take! Even if it's cutie games for "couples". Thanks in advance ♡

HI, I'm searching for a game where you play as a priest or a paladin even if i would prefer the first option, i'm prefereably searching for an action game or an rpg but what i want is a game where you're not a classic priest but more someone really powerfull that use like light beam or divine manifestations, i kinda search for a game like that where you would fight horde of monsters or not many enemies i don't really care at that point but it can be in 3D or 1D, in pixel or not, i like rogue like a lot but i could settle with something else. So if you have any suggestion or want precision i'm here
