I will always recommend Into The Breach to everyone. Perfect mechanics, easy to jump in and out of, satisfying aesthetics, balanced difficulty

Linktank,

Loved FTL, hated ITB.

Cavemanfreak,

I’m in the same boat. FTL is where it’s at (for me).

daddy32,

Same. Losing felt quite arbitrary and random to me.

MajorHavoc,

Yeah. The Breach is fantastic. Ready to pick up and set down. Utterly fantastic tactical gameplay. Cool tech, interesting progression options.

All that said, it’s not my go-to cozy game, because it’s atmosphere is too well done.

They only thing about “The Breach” is that it’s so dang well done that I can’t take a turn not seriously. It regularly makes me make movie heroism level of decisions. Do I make the safe play, or try to save everyone? Am I willing to sacrifice my pilot for this win?

The vibe is fantastic, but decidedly not cozy.

Valmond,

Isn’t that quite the hard game though?

I like TLOZ:BotW a lot. But I need to say that it is my favorite game so it could not be that relaxing for others. Forager is also a great casual game. I cab also genuinely recommend these:

  • Shapez.io
  • World Box
  • Spaceflight Simulator
  • Good Pizza Great Pizza
  • Surviving Mars
  • Before We leave (At one point it becomes very buggy and the save is basically useless)
daddy32,

You can’t expect people to understand the acronym of a game you are just introducing :) Google tells me you mean “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”.

It’s possible that I’m also hoping that the sequel won’t take a decade to release if they’re able to reuse most of Night City from the fist game.

Ciri is such a great character in the books. I hope they can get a lot of that personality into her in the game, too.

It seems like it from the trailer, but I’m nervous about the voice actress, she does sound different than 3… But I’m willing to give her a fair chance

@Bahnd@lemmy.world avatar

From the trailer, its clear that its ~15-20 year time skip, she is able to drink witcher potions so she passed the trial of grasses, and clearly has much more control of her powers.

The trial of grasses point is where im concerned, yes she would have plot armor for a procedure that has a notriously low survival rate, plus the school of the wolf (Geralt, Vesimier and co.) destroied their old records after the events of the first game so that noone could produce more witchers.

The video game is based on the Cyberpunk Tabletop/pen and paper RPG. Think like D&D but in the world of cyberpunk, hacking instead of spells, etc. I’m not an expert (still trying to get a real life game together tbh) but I don’t think any of the TTRPG games have focused much outside of night city. You can of course put your game anywhere, but the premade stuff is all in and around night city.

Maltese_Liquor,

Yeah, I know what it’s based on, and I think you’re probably right that most of the setting in the original tabletop game takes place in Night City, but I don’t know if that means that CDPR will follow that lead or not you know? Obviously I hope they do but currently no one outside of that company has any idea what the plan is as far as I know so all I can do is hope.

I’d be very disappointed if they don’t. But I have faith that they will stay close to the source and remain in Night City for at least the main storyline.

Honestly I kind of hope there will be DLCs with completely different characters and smaller stories to play, though I kinda doubt that’ll happen. Would be interesting though.

Cyberpunk 2020 RPG had a vast number of supplements for taking your game outside of NC, including one which covered the first Martian colony

capt_wolf, do games w Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

Voices of the Void has been my go to time waster for a couple years now. Dev is a little weird, but the game is amazingly well done and gets somewhat regular updates that expand the story and add new content. You are essentially a scientist sent to work at a SETI-like site in Switzerland. Your job is to maintain the site and search for signals in space, analyze them, and then ship them out to your colleagues, for which you get paid to buy supplies and other things. As you play, random events occur, some funny, some scary. There’s tons of items to buy and decorate your base with. Lots of locations to discover. Sooooooo many secrets to find. I’m constantly impressed by all the work they’ve done with a very small team.

My only complaint is having to reset my save when an update comes out. It’s generally worth it, as there’s usually new events that you’ll miss otherwise, but having to redecorate the base and lose collectables you’ve spent hours on is a bummer… That and I hate the new drive storage rack. I wish they’d bring back then old one as an additional storage item.

Also, the whole damn game is free.

mariusafa,

I aprove this message.

I wouldn’t mind a different city, or multiple cities.

Its only woke when it doesn’t succeed.
To name two of way too many examples:
Baldurs gatev woke until it was a hit.
Dustborn, still woke cause it flopped.
The grifters have never been more obvious than now.

I was gonna make a joke about how it’s not gonna come out until 2077 but I couldn’t make it work.

Dreyns, do gaming w The Cyberpunk sequel should stay in Night City

There’s ton of supplement on the original game for europe, moscou there’s so many possibilities, the cyberpunk world is very interesting even outside of nightcity, i embrace that take as an OG cp2020 game master.

I’m going to give a possibly controversial opinion. But my favorite casual game to play is Rogue Legacy.

If you accept that you know you’ll die a lot, it’s a lot less stressful. Outside of that, it’s extremely player friendly. It’s not too complicated. There’s progression. You have runs that end and give you a place to stop. You can turn it off anytime without needing to worry too much about losing progress. It has platforming.

HubertManne,

This is how I learned to like shadowbane and elden ring. Death is just a mechanic.

MajorHavoc,

I love Rogue Legacy as a casual game. In the early game, it’s decidedly not cozy, due to missing mechanics and how common unwinnable rooms are.

Rogue Legacy 2 fixes these issues, and adds a ton of difficulty sliders, and can be tuned to be fantasticly cozy,

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I kind of love the early game. If I see a particularly difficult room, usually it’s a treasure room and you can back out or take the challenge. The two real objectives are get gold or kill a boss.

RL2 feels a lot bigger and more dependent on longer marathon runs and more strategic builds. For me it’s still a lot of fun, but not nearly the same cozy feel. Plus there are other challenges that seem mandatory for progression. Having said that, I have not touched the difficulty sliders.

Sounds kinda like the registrar’s fault?

!deleted6348 avatar

I’ll say both. Registrar was shit for just giving in and taking it down on what was essentially a “please take this down” note. Funko was shit for requesting it in the first place

lemba, do games w Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

Sounds like you’re ready for the wonderful universe of TBS games (Turn Based Strategy). There a soo many sub genres but you can filter the steam shop for turn-based and read reviews and recommendations. Some personal highlights:

  • Civilization (5 and 6)
  • Heroes of Might and Magic (get HoMM 3 on GOG!)
  • Old World
  • Battle Brothers
  • Dorfromantik
  • Magic: The Gathering Arena
  • RimWorld (with pause)
  • Cities Skylines 2 (not rly TBS but you can pause)
  • For The King
  • Total War: Warhammer III (I do auto battles)
  • Wartales
  • The Last Spell
  • Stoneshard
  • Age of Wonders 4
  • Mechabellum (semi TBS)
daddy32,

Is Rimworld chill though? It’s been sitting on my waitlist for a while, but I’m still a bit…afraid. Doesn’t each colony ultimately go to shit?

veni_vedi_veni,

There is an end goal apparently. But in my 40+ hrs played, never been able to build a spaceship. So I’m practice, yea that’s about right.

I found the game really boring personally. But its a cool game.

zaphodb2002,

Things can get rough but I play mostly to have thriving communities with social drama. Deaths happen but that’s part of the challenge. Turn down the difficulty and play it like The Sims, it’s surprisingly chill.

Hugin,

It can be. Lower difficulty and phoebe chillax as the storyteller. I highly recommend modding the game. Both the common QOL mods and tweaks to what you don’t like.
