cozy environment

Not sure FC and Warframe qualify for that 😉

but Dredge does? :D

But yea, those games probs won't do if cozy stuff is the thing here.

edit: Though, Dave the Diver? Not really fishing with a fishing pole or anything, more like, harpoon gun and diving.

since you brought up stardew and ac, fishing doesn't need to be the main focus/gameplay of the game?

Far Cry 5 has fishing, can't remember if there's different fishing gear really.

Warframe has fishing, but it can take quite some time for a new player to get there. The "openworld" areas on planets have spear fishing you can do for faction rep. etc.

lots of old games on steam, but worth noting that it's on sale over at gog - generally old games tend to work better out-of-the-box from there, but YMMV

maybe megarace 2? https://store.steampowered.com/app/733760/MegaRace_2/ for screnshots etc. It does look quite rusty and gunky in that 90s 3d way

Does seemingly have a car called "Vipper" https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_e7039c00bf6dd7e601ee9dd8681a9516c6c4854a.1920x1080.jpg

edit: oh, the reward doors? https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/733760/ss_743a183a64b993def3bc62e66b59cbe761430d3b.1920x1080.jpg

We heard you like AI

...did you? Did you really?

"Already?" :D

Man this game has been through some dev.hell, I guess. Seems like their kickstarter project promised this would have been out in february... 2013. Oh well, better late than never.

Never really played the OG Space Quest -games, mainly because I just don't enjoy the occasionally brutal late 80's/early 90's Sierra -adventuregame design where games contain a lot of softlocks and instant death traps. I'd assume SpaceVenture has moved on from those practices, though.

Wishlisted. Thanks.

perhaps "G-Police"? I've only briefly played it's demo on pc ~around the same time as Unreal Tournament (99) had a demo. The game was also released on PS1

G-Police is fairly arcade, and iirc missions were fairly time-limited for ... some reason? anyhoo, maybe screenshots might feel familiar? https://www.mobygames.com/game/1543/g-police/screenshots/

not really a ship, but otherwise a "closed ecosystem" in Stray, https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/stray/images/0/04/Sewer_Zurk_Substance.png/revision/latest?cb=20220728192618 , maybe?

edit: some more pics here https://stray.fandom.com/wiki/Fleshy_Walls#Gallery

edit2: not really first person, but topdown adventure/scifihorror: stasis, cayne and stasis: bone totem? IIRC all deal with space-stations being infected by something that merges peopleparts to walls and such

edit3: also, Warframe's infested missions have spaceships infested with "eyes"/dangly things - not really first-person but it fits the timeframe better

kinda shot in the dark, but maybe one of the Merry Gear Solid -games? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/metalgear/images/9/91/Merrygear2.png

edit: I realize you said it was 3d, but... still giving this a go as a guess :P

samesies. Finished it yesterday, absolute banger of a game. The different word order/sentence structures between the languages did my head in a bit, and the last few glyphs I had somehow entirely missed on earlier areas, and when I did finally find them - the backtracking to solve the remaining translations was a bit of back and forth. But man, what a vibe that game was.

I only longingly looked at the screenshots of Sam&Max in some gaming magazine at the time, managed to get the game waaayyy later. But man was it worth the wait :)

You're welcome! Also, there are still some more-or-less indie devs who keep the point&click adventures alive, afaik most, if not all from Wadjet Eye's catalog are great, eg: The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, Strangeland, Primordia.. worth checking out!

point & click adventure games? Some older ones can be aquired for cheap, or even free as some of them have been released as freeware.

some suggestions in no particular order, some are older (like, DOS old, but still good today, imo), some are 2010's or so:

• TellTale Sam & Max -episodic games (3d, cartoony, comedy)
• Monkey Island -series, parts 1-3. (2d, cartoony, comedy, pirates, yarharhar) (Later games in the series are pretty finicky to get running/stay running.)
• Sam & Max: Hit the road (2d, cartoony, comedy)
• The Dig (2d, scifi)
• Full Throttle (has a modernized remaster) (2d, "scifi", biker-theme)
• Flight of the Amazon Queen (freeware) (2d, ~40's vibe, "retro-scifi")
• Beneath a steel sky (freeware) (2d, scifi, comedy, some gore)

Ones that have some keyboard usage, but are mainly mouse driven (or can be mouse driven)

• Grim Fandango (modernised remaster, original doesn't do mouse) (3d, latin-american land of the dead, comedy)
• Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis (some occasional fights where keyboard would be preferred, most of these can be circumvented though) (2d, some comedy, ww2, I mean, it's indiana jones)

The older ones can be played via Scummvm (https://scummvm.org/) - it's basically a simplified launcher/runner just for adventure games.
