any indie game you would recommend?

is it soulslike level difficult or normal in difficulty

played it a lot then quit due to feeling bored and exhausted, i feel val is fun to watch professionally but tiring to play

thats something i have been wanting to play, but is the game grindy cuz i dont have that much time and energy to grind rn

I am bored a lot rn, so give me some games to play on my pc. I have already played -
Assassin's Creed 1-4, Batman Arkham series, Gta series (3,VC,SA,4,5), Sleeping dogs, Watch dogs, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Factorio. Recommend me a game which is similar to either of these

i am turning 17 now and i think my uncle gifted me a chess set when i was around 12 so around 2020 so i have been playing since then, during covid i watched a lot of chess content but i think i was hardstuck 1300 till 2023 mid, then i quit chess after a super long loss streak and deleted the account. For 2024 i wanted to challenge myself to get good at something so i started playing chess again with focus and my resolution was to hit 1700, i think i watched levi(gothamchess) for some openings and started playing more and more slowly to analyze my moves and just make sure not to blunder a piece here and there, and slowly i improved. While improving i started watching GM games a bit to learn how to proceed in the middlegame. Then around Feb this year I hit 1930 or something in rapid and a bit higher in bullet.

So, yeah playing slow and playing a lot of games definitely helped me improve. But also, if you cant handle losses like me I think you should restrict yourself to around 2 losses a day then call it off. With time, I believe you will improve.

yeah, i am around 2000 but still the max i can see is still a mate in 5 in the endgame only, in the middle game when you have tons of pieces on the board every single move can have multiple responses which we won't be able to calculate

no but the thing is sometimes the GMs have such complex ideas which we can't perceive or understand even after being given the engine

you are welcome, btw for openings don't memorise them line to line, try getting the idea of how do you want to approach the middlegame i think 1 for white and 1 for black should be enough till 1500

well bots being good depends on whom you play, i think if you want to improve by playing bots go to chess.com's bot menu and go to the bottom and select engine and change the elo to what you want to play cuz the normal bots can be defeated even if you are 300-400 elo lower.

As for bots or players, i think playing against players is better cuz it will give you different challenge in each game, some one can be calculative whereas someone can be attacking, you can experience different opening styles and ideas, but yeah bots will help you release the stress of losing elo so you can freely think and maybe even perform better

is it cause I'm too impatient

maybe, do you play a lot of bullet?
don't spam bullets, play blitz or rapid with increment this ensures that you don't lose on time and get to think and plan out
I think doing puzzles is very important as the higher you go chess becomes a mix of both calculation and pattern recognition

Edit: As for puzzles, I think chess.com free gives you 3 puzzles a day so solve puzzles on lichess if you like, its open source and there is no limit

play more and on slower time control
