These are my favorite games. Final Fantasy 8 Alan Wake/Alan Wake 2 Control Max Payne Resident Evil 4 (OG) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Crazy Taxi SMT3: Nocturne Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Hyper Fighting Dead Space (and remake) Ghost of Tsushima Yakuza Kiwami 2
If you like SMT afterwards, go backwards and give SMT3 Nocturne a chance and see if you can tough through that. V is designed more like Nocturne. 1,2, 4 and Strange Journey are designed like dungeon crawlers with FPV battles, so if you can tough Nocturne and like it, give the og style games a try.
i think i’d like to pick up metaphor after i finish smt3 and sh2, game seems pretty inchresting and i liked persona 3
