I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant (sh.itjust.works)

Pretty much, I'm looking for a game where I'm not the hero, I'm not the protagonist, I'm just a pawn in the big picture.

Preferably a game with a big open world too, one that feels real and isn't just a predetermined path for my player.

I also like games where you aren't clearly stronger than all your opponents like you're some sort of God so they actually feel intimidating and there is a fear of dying

All suggestions are welcome

Thanks :>

I get this feeling when playing older god of war games. although you're literally a god, you come across some ginormous enemies or landscapes that make you feel tiny. make sure not to miss the origins collection too

Running with Rifles, Ravenfield, Arma/Operation Flashpoint, Foxhole, This War of Mine, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Intravenous, Rimworld etc are ones I can think of. I hope you find what you're looking for!

Playing through Baldur's Gate 3 at the moment and this feels most appropriate.

Sidenote: love your name

I don't know what the full story of Baldur's Gate 3 is at the moment, and don't tell me if you do, but I'm pretty sure we're heroes, or something special. Most RPGs you're at least a little more special than average, if not much more.

Hmm, don't worry I won't spoil things for you.

Jungle main. Let's go.

Daggerfall Unity fits this almost perfectly. You can become hilariously OP if you want to, but exercising some self-restraint on the custom class and enchantment screens can lead to a very challenging experience.

try Champions of Regnum. Easily 20+v20+v20+ RvR open pvp. You do feel somewhat like a small cog in a big war machine, but with still opportunity to shine if you can perceive it.

you've gotten a lot of replies already - but I'd say in terms of feeling disempowered, fear & hunger or pathologic is great. great way to experience gruelling and cruel worlds.

Dyson sphere and satisfactory. You are just a cog in a very large piece of machinery.
