Thief

[Googolplex]

hallenging and rewarding gameplay, no hand-holding, no "points" (well maybe souls count as points idk) nor "quests", it forces player to explore things on one's own (you can't just check the map ), no pausing etc. Kinda more "HC" than most of games. But if story and dialogue is your thing, this game is not for you

Yeah, story and dialogues are my thing. The gameplay looks like some kind of a hack n slay MMORPG where there are stupid boss-enemies to kill. Every monster looks like to be a "killing-object". The HUD ruins the immersion and there are too many magical effects. The hero also does have big fantasy like armors/weapons. Not my thing.
But thanks for the hint.
