Fear & hunger will surprise you. It looks like an RPG and it seemingly plays like one, but it's actually an entire different beast. Lots to understand and to uncover, both gameplay-wise and lore-wise. If you decide to give it a shot, be sure that the game it's not unbalanced, it just need to be understood.
If you want something less dark and hard, the Mario & Luigi series for GBA/NDS/3DS is crazy fun. The same applies for the Paper mario series, very original and super fun RPGs that don't really play by the rules
fear and hunger is an immersive sim disguised as an rpg.
the only thing pushing the game further isn't your characters level but your own knowledge and understanding of the game mechanics and your ability to manipulate them to your advantage but this comes with bashing your head to a wall over and over and over again until you find something that works. it is brutal and not for everyone. the themes are also pretty disturbing so proceed with caution.
Thank you for clarifying
