SC3000 was the last city builder game that could hold my attention and didn’t feel like it was constantly rushing me with no time to enjoy what I’d built. I’m sure getting older played a part in that too.
As much as I love SimCity 4, there’s something about the look and feel of 3000 that makes it slightly more iconic for me (both are fantastic though). Maxis really knocked it out of the park with most of the series.
I’ve heard that Shadows is one of the better Assassin’s Creeds, but 100%-ing it still sounds like hell. There’s just too much to do in Ubisoft openworlds.
They’ve trimmed it down a lot thankfully. The 1000s of chests and Animus fragments are gone luckily, so it’s mostly just side quests and a few small collectibles. I’m still debating whether to count de-fogging the map as part of 100% though. I at the very least want to do 100% of Steam Achievements if I decide to move on
Robocop: rogue city You have a slowmo skill in the tree right from very early game and you’re Robocop so you’re a rather slow walking tank. Great game all around.
This was also my first intro to city sims. The sound was a blast, the graphics fresh. Then SimCity 4 came out followed by Simtropolis and a thriving culture of modders and cityplanners in arms it was great.
I played a lot of Simcity 2000 (it was the first game I played), so for me the visual, size and quality of life upgrades in Simcity 3000 were always impressive.
It’s a lot of fun. I haven’t played it single player but i think having more friends makes it a lot more fun. Though, i saw a video of someone playing with like 15 people and that sounds like hell lol
Played Splatoon 3. The different modes are really fun, except for Turf War which kinda sucks. It’s the first time I’m trying to learn how to play a team game and I’m confused on how to improve, but I’m having fun with it.
For some reason tho Nintendo thought it was a good idea to do two day events (“Splatfests”) periodically which lock you out of any mode beside Turf War for their entire duration, so I went looking for other competitive games:
I went back to Guilty Gear Strive after dropping it for more than a year, but after playing it for a few hours, I still don’t like how sluggish the game feels and I’m not too happy with the modern design trends in fighting games (or in general the curent state of them). The biggest issue that stops me from playing tho is the terrible online experience which still hasn’t been fixed after 4 years.
I played chivalry 1 a lot back then until people became so good that it didn’t feel organic anymore to me and there wasn’t really any kind of matchmaking… I really miss the early days of it. How is chivalry 2 doing?
Unfortunately, I feel it’s heading in the same direction. Torn banner released a final update in 2024 and basically dropped the development in order to work on other games. The skill ceiling is super high, and most players are very very good. Every now and then there’s a sale or the game goes free and there is an influx of new players. In any case, I still enjoy it a lot 😁
Just saw a video on Blue Prince earlier. Would totally love to play it but I saw someone play through the demo enough to where I feel spoiled enough to not wanna play it because I know I’d probably just cheat. Probably a game I’d pick up in a few years, after I’ve forgotten it, similar to Baba Is You, which I’ve been stumped on certain levels of recently.
Otherwise I’ve mostly been absolutely addicted to Pokemon Rejuvenation because of debug mode making the game a lot more fun. Absolutely would not recommend it if you don’t like long pokemon games or edgier stories in your pokemon.
Same thing with Feudal Tactics on my phone/laptop. Very simple game. You have a map made up of coloured tiles. Six different colours. Two or more of the same make a city/kingdom(?). Get resources by having/taking over more connected tiles, buy/upgrade people, conquer land, defeat everyone else.
You should still play Blue Prince. I sincerely doubt you can be spoiled enough by the demo to not make the game worthwhile. There is so much in this game to find and figure out.
samesies. Finished it yesterday, absolute banger of a game. The different word order/sentence structures between the languages did my head in a bit, and the last few glyphs I had somehow entirely missed on earlier areas, and when I did finally find them - the backtracking to solve the remaining translations was a bit of back and forth. But man, what a vibe that game was.
