That is not it.
Vasara 2
Railroad Tycoon?
Absolutely!
I find the world view fascinating, with the growing artifical veins of industralization running progressively through it, then outnumbering natural water venues. The historical replay is also wonderful, especially because it has the amazing taste to share the same scale as the world view.
To me, in the modern age, fast forwarded replays of Offworld Trading Company manage to capture some of that pretty unique feeling.
@Nightgaunt You’re up!
Not rushing you (it hasn’t been long). Just tagging your name to make sure you get a notification.
Pillars of Eternity?
At least, I think that’s a pillar. Not so sure about the Eternity part. Might be an archway, though. Hrm.
Dark Souls, because it’s really dark.
Looks like a ionic style pillar, which suggests Athens, so I’ll guess Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
To me it looks like a cartoonish gargoyle, so I guess Epic Mickey 2.
Darkest Dungeon?
It IS a pillar, but not a pillar of eternity!
It IS dark, but there are no souls!
It IS a dungeon, but not the darkest one!
No Athens, no Mickey!
Next!
Rise of the Tomb Raider?
Not a Tomb Raider! All good guesses!
Bards Tale IV?
No bards! But definitely a tale!
The dark souls cutey thing with a mouse? Can’t remember the name, might have been ghost of a tale.
Not Ghost of a Tale, but in a roundabout way you’re getting close!
Ghost of a Tale is primarily a stealth game, not a Souls-like, FYI.
As to the game: Dragon’s Dogma?
No Dragons or Dogma!
