Amnesia and The Bunker are amazing, probably the best lovecraftian styled games
I dislike much else

Only two good Lovecraft games were ever created, Dark Corners of the Earth and Quake 1.

Does it have to be directly Lovecraft? If so Forgive me, Father.
If not I liked Blood in the Thames.
Can't beat At the Mountains of Madness
Sinking City 2 is number 1, but I'm also looking forwards to KVLT.

Super early access but what is a available is good, yeah.
Combat is super deadly for you at the start.

I love Quake 1 but the bestiary is its weak spot and is in no way Lovecraftian. The ogres and shamblers are much more body horror than cosmic horror, the knights are inexplicable, and the spawns are literally a joke. Even Shub, the one monster named for Lovecraft's work, is just an unremarkable growth with tendrils.

What Lovecraft should I read if I've mostly only gotten the gist of Lovecraft through videogames and media inspired by lovecraft

The eternal Mormon asspulled these design for the PnP RPG, they're, at best, loosely based on Lovecraft descriptions.

All of it, you nigger. You could read everything in 2 or 3 days but don't do that, just read a story every now and then.

I say this as a Lovecraft fan but he's right. Aside from identicle protagonists they're pretty formulaic if you read them back to back.

Best Lovecraftian game is Darkest Dungeon.

Try to capitalize proper nouns next time if you don't want to be called nigger like the nigger that you are.

Going for big AAA-like games ala Bethesda is foolish. I'd go for some sort of mix between Dark Sun and Ultima Underworld (or any dungeon crawler)
