I like games like Elden Ring and Fallout but I end up not playing them because I can't figure out where to go next. What are some games like that but really easy to figure out how to get from point A to point B? I also hate games where I can fall, I want games where I can't fall off.

I don't remember, do you have a switch? Mario Odyssey for example I believe will show you arrows on the ground or something of where to go next, and if you fall you lose some life points that regenerate if you just wait it out. Something like Breath of the Wild allows you to get lost but it also kind of trains you to try to use landmarks and there's not really a set order to do things in so I think that's fine.

The original Dead Space had a button to show you where to go if you got lost, I"m not sure if the remake has it but I'd guess so.

I found Odyssey too hard Even with the extra help turned on. I think you can fall on that one. BOTW I died too quickly. And kept falling.

Forgot to mention, would prefer PC.

You can fall, but as I mentioned it's not instant death, and you can regenerate health. But if you don't want any jumping at all yeah Mario isn't for you, I get it.

GatorDeb

The problem is eventually you have to get through the area, and I can't jump that well. I have NO coordination.

I'm assuming you mean open world stuff which usually by design will let you wander off to your heart's content (and are sometimes punishingly hard), but like I said before games like Dead Space and Bioshock have an objective pointer (but the difficulty is still there). Otherwise have you tried visual novels or more straighforward rpgs?

Or maybe (and I'm not being facetious) one of the Lego games?

GatorDeb

I found Bioshock too hard And I got stuck in one of the Lego adventure levels where the lego started sinking down as you crossed it.

Sigh. I'm not joing about any of this.

I think the word you're looking for is linear, or at least a strong tip mode. I disliked a lot of open world games for a similar reason, I'd get lost, give up and go elsewhere.

Devil May Cry and Bayonetta come to mind, or the 2.5d Mario games. Cave Story+ is a great one as well.

Decker

DMC and Bayonetta are pretty hard games. Doubt Deb would enjoy them much.

Dan

Limbo and Inside.
Both have their challenges, but it's just puzzle solving. Impossible to get lost.

OldBoy

if I can play and beat them, anyone could.

GatorDeb

I use Cheat Happens which gives you unlimited ammo, hp, etc for petty much every game out there. I can't play Elden Ring WITH cheats so hard doesn't matter.

Keep the recommendations coming, I'll check them out!

The maps are rng I believe so they’re huge but you’re not really looking for anything you’re just running.

Luigi's Mansion 3. I know you said PC but it's a pretty linear game where you can't really get lost. Also not very difficult. No jumping or platforming.
