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.
Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. Even the main campaign is basically just the sandbox.
Ultrakill. Sometimes guys will talk to you, but its rare (only before bossfights), can mostly be ignored, and can be skipped after listening to it the first time.
Ready or Not is basically just a swat game with no story or dialogue that matters to gameplay.
Or a building or strategy game. Something like Cities: Skylines would maybe be good if you like that sort of genre.
Elden Ring is apparently good. And the dark souls games as a whole. Almost no story
Dredge. I think there’s a bit of a story but really you’re just going out fishing.
