Super fancy shinny quad AAAA game with photorealistic (2025 edition) graphics that You can talk about on dedicated forums, that maybe 5 other persons in Your area ever heard of.

vs

Common, whatever graphic, cube themed, low poly game with music in midi… that whole school talk about and every yt influencer too.

It’s all about blindly following the fashion. Again.

Finishing up Pentiment probably later today, and it will be nice to have it over and done with. I will appreciate having played it, but I can’t say actually playing it was all that fun. It’s beautiful, it’s well-researched and it has some interesting plots and characters in it but… god damn is it ever slow. Between the laboriously slow and often banal and uninteresting conversations and the lack of fast travel leading to half your playing time being watching your character slowly waddling across Tassing the game feels like an absolute slog to play.

I’ve been breaking up the tedium with https://store.steampowered.com/app/1721060/Mandragora_Whispers_of_the_Witch_Tree/. I’ve had my eye on it as it’s written by Bloodlines-writer Brian Mitsoda, and at 25% off on the summer sale I thought why not.

It’s a Metroidvania Soulslike with a skill tree inspired by Path of Exile, and I’m really liking what I’m seeing so far. The combat has been solid, the build diversity seems great and the bosses have been good. The game is beautiful with a lovely art style and the level design is really good too.

From what I’ve seen so far I recommend checking it out if you like these types of games!

So close! 365 is right around the next 4 corners.

If the Candy Crush is a quality for you, I feel sorry for yourself. Also comparison to a console is flawed.

Honestly, we all had ‘our thing’ growing up that our parents thought was silly or a waste of time. It’s just the circle of gaming life.

Honestly, every time I hear the Fire Temple chanting, I feel like I accidentally joined a cult — but hey, at least the music slaps.

What a great game! That’s a fun temple too.

"Hardspace: Shipbreaker" is now on sale at steam. So far it feels like a mix between relaxing work like "Power Wash Simulator" and the story beats of "Papers, please!". It's been pretty fun so far!

Ashtear,

One of my favorite games of the past few years. Really hoping there’s a follow-up in the same universe.

euAppleHater, do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

Oh sorry sir you are not playing these games on a phone or tablet platform therefore you are not really playing true games, you are only consuming mindless entertainment.

You’re really busy posting on the internet for someone that has 7.000+ games to play with 77% of them in backlog, and a family to spend time with.

That other thread got weird and defensive real fast.

ChapulinColorado,

Tends to go that way when the take is so dumb and disconnected from reality. Might as well have shown dick pics with diamond encrusted micro transaction “rewards”.

atomicpoet,

Great idea for a future thread.

It already supports single player.

It supports 1 or 3 players, which is why not supporting just 2 players was stupid and they are fixing it.

Noita. Got a good deal on the steam sale. Took a while to get over the hump of not knowing what the heck is going on and dying a bunch but getting better at it has been fun

neon_nova,

Seems like it could be fun. I’ll give it a try.

OpenTTD. Trains go vroom.

Had it on my radar for a while, didn’t think I would like it this much. Boy was I wrong, my sleep is as badly scheduled as my trains.

You can play it single player, I played all the souls game single player, but more recently prefer doing bosses with others because I’m not a patient player and from software bosses require patience. Lots of it. Lol.

Did you finish all of them? Or at least play them for an hour? If you’re using steam for 20 years, that’s a game a day.

atomicpoet,

I definitely don’t complete all of them. My goal is to at least play an hour each, but not every game is worth an hour.

The most time I’ve ever spent on a game is around 100 hours.
