Games with manual saves
Manual saving gives you more control before branching decisions, difficult encounters and story lockouts. This list is especially useful if you prefer keeping a clean fallback save instead of relying entirely on checkpoints or autosaves.
The presence of manual saving does not guarantee unlimited slots or permission to save in every location. Open the full guide to pair the save information with that game’s missables and point-of-no-return status.
