Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action.

Do you know any games where there’s no story (or very minimal/skippable one), and the game mechanics alone carry the game?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. There are some that I’ve never heard of and look very interesting. Will definitely pick some of them up.

    Risk of Rain 2 is probably my favorite rouge like, easily recommended if you like FPS games

    ULTRAKILL is a really fun movement shooter with minimal story except between chapters I guess, but there’s also an infinite wave mode that is a great time killer

      100% Risk of Rain 2. I’ve dumped so many hours into doing silly runs in that game, just because I feel like it - not even attempting to unlock anything or make specific progress. The game is fantastic.
