Summary

  • In some games like Get In The Car, Loser! and Marvel's Midnight Suns, there are no limits on how much you can carry in your inventory.
  • Disco Elysium and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic also allow you to hoard as many items and equipment as you want with no restrictions.
  • Games like Wylde Flowers and Horizon: Forbidden West have introduced features like stashes and unlimited inventory space to make gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

You've been playing for dozens of hours. It's late. You're tired and you just want to stop thinking while you mow your way through side quests while picking up all the junk you see. But the game has decided to limit how much useless garbage you can pick up, and that just feels like a personal affront right now.

The vast majority of games that include an inventory system also impose restrictions on it, which adds a bit of strategy and ensures you don't lose track of all your precious stuff. But you get enough of that in real life, and sometimes you don't need more in your games. So which ones forego that minor inconvenience?

8 Get In The Car, Loser!

Close

If a game describes its protagonist as a disaster lesbian, you already know you're in for a good time. Get in the Car, Loser! is a road trip RPG that puts college student Sam on an impromptu adventure to save the world all because a cute girl asked her to.

The game gets surprisingly heavy at times, delving into themes of transphobia and depictions of trauma. But luckily, the inventory doesn't add to that stress. You pick which items to put in your battle menu, but other than that, there are no limits to how much you can carry.

7 Disco Elysium

RPG 4.5/5 Released October 15, 2019 Developer(s) ZA/UM Publisher(s) ZA/UM Platform(s) PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Stadia Powered by Expand Collapse

Disco Elysium, the "guess what, you're a communist" simulator, is a one-of-a-kind experience that everyone deserves to enjoy. What starts off as a murder mystery where you play as a dumpster fire detective slowly exposes its layers over time, dice roll by unfortunate dice roll.

This is one of those games where the story and character elements are often far too engaging to focus on anything else. So you'll be happy to know that your inventory of items and equipment never runs out of space. So grab those silly pants and keep things weird.

6 Marvel's Midnight Suns

Marvel's Midnight Suns (dupe)

Tactical RPG Released December 2, 2022 Developer(s) Firaxis Games Publisher(s) 2K Games Platform(s) PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S Powered by Expand Collapse

There are a million reasons why Marvel's Midnight Suns deserves so much more attention than it got. For one, you can go to book club with Blade and Wolverine. There are others, but really, that's all you need.

Aside from the game's engaging and satisfying gameplay during missions, the super comfy and underrated hub in this game also has a fun gameplay loop of exploring and gathering resources between character interactions. Thankfully, there's no limit to your material storage.

5 Boyfriend Dungeon

In Boyfriend Dungeon, you wield shapeshifting people who can turn into weapons. You can also date those weapons (again, they're people). So, naturally, when you date people in a game, you need gifts to give them.

While you can find and buy some gifts, you craft others using recipes and materials you find in any given dungeon (or "dunj"). Don't worry, you can pick up as much of these ingredients as you'd like with no inventory limit. Gifts for a sapient glaive just hit harder when they're homemade.

4 Sable

Sable

Adventure 3.0/5 Released September 23, 2021 Developer(s) Shedworks Publisher(s) Raw Fury Platform(s) PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S Powered by Expand Collapse

Sable seems like it's specifically for people who played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wile but wasn't a fan of all the Legend of Zelda in it. That's not meant to be a dig, as Sable is honestly fantastic, and not everybody has to enjoy Breath of the Wild.

In Sable, you explore, climb, chat up locals, and do all that fun stuff. But the twist is, there's no danger. So all the materials you gather go toward quests, outfits, and achievements. There's not a whole lot to collect, but even so, you never have to worry about managing your inventory size.

RPGs are almost required to have some sort of inventory management, and the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games follow that trend to an extent. Apparently, part of the Jedi code is collecting way too many visors.

On your adventure through the galaxy, you're probably going to want to stockpile as many repair parts and computer spikes as you can. Neither game restricts this, and that extends to the regular inventory. So stock up on more armor and weapons than you'll ever need like a good Jedi hoarder.

2 Horizon: Forbidden West

Horizon Forbidden West

Action RPG Released February 18, 2022 Developer(s) Guerrilla Games Publisher(s) Sony Platform(s) PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 Powered by Expand Collapse

One of the more prominent minor annoyances in the first fantastic Horizon: Zero Dawn was how quickly you filled up Aloy's inventory and had to watch in agony as you rode past countless juicy plants and sticks you couldn't pick up. Hey, you get your kicks however you can in a world without internet.

In the sequel, Horizon: Forbidden West, the developers added the small but incredibly crucial stash to the mix. Now, when you fill up on a stack of, for example, sticks, any more you pick up will automatically go to the stash. Then, you can find the stash in any settlement and use it to refill your stocks when you run out.

1 Wylde Flowers

Wylde Flowers

Life Simulation Farming Released February 18, 2022 Platform(s) Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS Developer Studio Drydock Pty Ltd Publisher Studio Drydock Pty Ltd Powered by Expand Collapse

Cozy farm sim games are probably the most likely of any genre to have a limit to how much you can carry. But Wylde Flowers keeps things interesting not only with the twist that you play as a witch, but also doing away with the restricted inventory. A bag of infinite holding must be easy for witchy folk.

Frankly, it's a simple addition that makes the game all the more cozy. One less thing to worry about, right? So while you're getting to know the townsfolk and growing your crops out in the countryside, you never have to worry about managing what you've got.
