What kinds of games would you like to see more of?

I'd like to see a solid multiplayer racing game. Feels like there hasn't been any good ones since Test Drive Unlimited 2.

There is a shocking paucity of potato simulators.

I'd like to see more really well done old school console JRPG/RPG/TRPGs hitting steam. But I want to see good ports that devs put a lot of love and care into.

Dragon Warrior, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Legend of Dragoon, Vagrant Story, Star Ocean, Kingdom Hearts, Persona, Xenogears, XenoSaga, Lunar, Shadow Hearts, Parasite Eve, Grandia, Legend of Legaia, Wild Arms, Breath of Fire, Romancing Saga etc.

I want more early access survival games, more WW2 shooters, and more hastily slapped together battle royale games.

Oh, and more zombies.

Is that too much to ask?!

I miss a lot of games from consoles like Armored Core, Fatal Inertia, Full Auto, Twisted Metal, Rumble Roses, Castlevania (PS1 & PS2), Metroid Prime, Zelda, Haunting Grounds, Fable II (The best)... too bad Forza is not on Steam, it's a great racing game.

Also return games like Dead Space (I know it's impossible) and Independence War (I'd love to see a sequel)

First person perspective dungeon crawlers like Eye of the Beholder, Stonekeep, etc.

Doom clones. The original one.

More 3D car combat games with retro 3D graphics (Twisted Metal 1-4, Rogue Trip, Vigilante 8, etc.)

And more 3D JRPGs with pixel art characters (Grandia 1, Breath of Fire 3-4, Xenogears, etc.). "Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor" is a good recent example in terms of aesthetics (minus the terrible UI) but isn't a jrpg.

strong story-based action games. theres just not enough of them. i dont care if theyre open world, i dont care if theyre linear. i dont care if theyre shooter based or if they're melee combat based, i just want games with fun combat mechanics and deep, rich, emotionally rewarding narratives.

if i had to choose a genre id like to see more of these games... horror. not so much survival horror, just surreal dark evocatively bleak settings... preferably in a sci-fi setting, but anything could be interesting really... oooh.. a viking/medieval horror game perhaps? merging a distant real-world setting, with the supernatural? hellblade is a great example, but id like to see something less metaphorical and more explicitly real world and straight forward in its setting, that could be phenomenal!

but really, ill take anything with a really strong and involved story.

A solid High Fantasy MMORPG for old timers like me. No more spammy dodge dodge 1112 2223 flashy spinny shit 🙄

I want to see more open world games that don't rely on combat to make quests/gathering difficult. I don't like bosses or enemies as a challenge and I'd rather be able to explore and build. I'm real tired of every open world game revolving around me avoiding hostiles.

We also need a good zoo game on Steam. There is a mixed review zoo tycoon and a few knockoff and inferior versions but none are outstanding. I want a really well made zoo tycoon 2-type games with achievements.

Freeform strategy RPGs without a meta-layer time / resource constraint, like the Disgaeas.

I would like to see more Non-Combat games!! or at least games where its not necessary to fight.
and more Story Rich games!!

More open world games where you can both drive and walk+shoot, like GTA. Even better if they'll have building element in them. Building and driving around are two my favourite things to do.

I agree on steampunk style. There is a definite shortage of that. Open world games that don’t suck (and aren’t part of a franchise) are in great shortage too. I’m also into story rich/non combat titles. A dedicated Lego Spider-Man game is something I would pay for in an instant too.

Some kind of crazy genre hybrid, like Guardian Legend, which combined a Vertically-Scrolling Shooter with an overhead Action-Adventure with extremely mild RPG elements. I'd love something like the first Darksiders, but bigger, and with a Final Fantasy 5 class system, where you learn new skills permanently as you battle as a lancer, bard, or whatever.

More pixel graphics! Hey, it's 2019, why not pretend it's 1989 again?

shameless Fantasy romance RPGs

...you mean visual novel dating simulators? ☺

If you mean combat with stat-based progression (which is what "RPG" has come to mean over the years), how would that work in a game without much focus on combat like that?

Strategy. It's what defined PC gaming and will continue to do so.

Pure stealth.

i miss Warlords (amiga500) yes i know there is a lot similar but is rubbish if compared to it in quality , i miss also in dynamic adventures the attack used in Severance blade Of Darkness (all 8 direction attack choosed by player + cut) the only game that i see try to copy it is for honor but i not like for honor because of it native multiplayer-centric genre i want a single player adventure same as severance with storytelling single player campaign + the 8 direction attack, i miss the stealth feel on TenchuZ (yes i know there is mgs,hitman and aragami etc. but they are not same feel) and also i miss games space like elite or elite dangerous,and yes i know there is a lot of space game on steam but all is bad quality the only decent is astroneer,elite dangerous,elite and the bad copy of elite (also named no man's sky that btw miss a real galaxy map).
i miss also games ad monkey islands expecially with pixel graphics, i see a lot in steam of them but they is like a fraud,have beautiful trailers pixel but then when you play it is is very short only 10-30 min finish and there is not much to do,they look + like scam than like a videogame,they miss on quality of gameplay,storytelling and also they are short so yes i miss this too,but i must to say also i'm happy that i see "Thimbleweed Park" is on the stores i wish soon i can buy it.

I dont know if we lack those, but I love story rich games that are visually stunning, too.
Im not much for pixel games and side scrollers. I prefer first or third person games..
Now and then several come around, but at times I wish more of those would exist

SWAT 4 or Command and Conquer Generals
