I liked ksp2

If you’re saying that you liked the (unfinished, abandoned, poorly-rated) Kerbal Space Program 2, you might play the original, which is better-regarded.

On the “factory” side, maybe some colony simulators? Someone else mentioned https://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/RimWorld/. That’s got a bit of DLC, but I think that even the base game has pretty good value for money. https://store.steampowered.com/app/457140/Oxygen_Not_Included/ is another colony sim that focuses more on the building/automation/physics side; I think that you’ll get a lot of hours out of that.

Dwarf Fortress is another colony sim, has a freely-available classic version or a commercial graphical build on Steam. Steep learning curve, but lots of mechanics to explore.

I like https://cataclysmdda.org/, though it has a pretty punishing learning curve. Open-world roguelike. It touches on both the RPG (well, not much by way of plot, but in terms of building a character) and the factory (build buildings, faction camps with NPCs, and vehicles) side. You aren’t going to run out of gameplay complexity to explore any time soon on that. Open source and freely-available, though there’s also a commercial build on Steam.

I have not played https://store.steampowered.com/app/2135150/Elin/, the successor to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elona_%28video_game%29, but it might be worth a look too if you are looking for a game with both a sandbox aspect and RPG aspect.

Wups, that was a typo. I liked ksp1, 2 was a massive disappointment and shitshow and they scammed me out of my 40 euros.

Oblivion remaster looks pretty good. Have you played through that game before?

anamethatisnt,

Original is on GOG for 1/10th of the price too, tons of great mods to improve both graphics and gameplay.
www.nexusmods.com/games/oblivion/mods?sort=downlo…
A must have for me is the All Plus 5 mod so I don’t feel forced to power game my starting skills.

LMDNW,

Nooo! Don’t do that. The initial leveling is my favorite part of every RPG. It really gets my dopamine receptors running.

anamethatisnt,

It only changes it so that you get your +5 choices if you have even one skill up in the category.
Without it the best way to play is to choose your main skills as Minor Skills and skills that are easy to avoid leveling up (and preferably easy to level up when you want to) as Major Skills to always get 3x +5 every level up.
With it you can let your character have major skills that you actively use during gameplay without gimping yourself.

I played all elder scroll games (except online) and fallout games but Bethesda lost me. They scammed me with fallout 76 (I have the special edition with power armor helmet) and their games after Skyrim just flatline imo. Fallout 4 got fixed somewhat, but that’s it. They won’t get my money anymore. Screw Todd Howard.

You might enjoy Sid Meier’s Civilization games. I’m partial to Civ 6, but they’re pretty much all in the same vein of management games.

Played them, we’re fun but don’t feel like playing them anymore.

I don’t see Bioware titles on the list. Dragon Age series for fantasy, Mass Effect for sci fi. Since BG3 is on the list, I wanted to mention in case you haven’t gotten to them yet.

I’ll second Dragon Age since it’s less action oriented than Mass Effect (which is great but OP seems more interested in strategy/management than shooting)

Mass Effect has a “tactical pause” feature though, but it feels less Baldur-like :)

@LordWiggle@lemmy.world avatar

I loved dragon age games and mass effect 1. Even 2, but 3 was shit.

Hmm, how about mindustry (its open source and free outside of steam)? It’s like factorio with tower defense. Note: after playing for few hours you might get access to many more stuff in game which might feel overwhelming

Nice thanks, will try!

Expedition 33 is a turn based rpg with some slight action elements. Just came out to glowing reviews and might be worth checking out.

Story might not be to your liking though.

Those are some impressive scores, sucks that I don’t own anything I could play it on. Hopefully there’s a Switch 2 port in the future, since I’ll likely get one once a new Xenoblade game is on the horizon.

I’m not big on hardware, is a Switch 2 stronger than the weak Xbox version?

Cool to see an indie game from a new studio getting so much praise.

This game popped up on my radar a few months back. Definitely gonna check it out.

And if they changed it too much you’d complain and say “it’s too different” you people just loooooove complaining

Check out Elin.

Basebuilding/dungeon crawling/pixel art/roguelike. Kinda like ADOM meets stardew, but weirder and more Japanese. Weirder how? Here’s the wiki entry on the chaos shape race, which you can play as.

VERY in depth systems in the game. Mutations, crafting, prayer, it’s a deep game.

Thank you! I know you’ve been told plenty of times by others, but it should always be said: I greatly enjoy these and appreciate the time you put into them!

As for what I’ve been playing: Pacific Drive released an update for ‘Endlesd Expeditions’. It wasn’t exactly what I was hoping, but I actually ended up greatly enjoying it. I believe the additional Story for it may be bugged as I’ve done close to 15 runs with no voice likes from Francis, but been a blast anyway.

I also tried the play test for a game called Little Rocket Lab. If you’re a fan of Stardew Valley and factory type games I highly recommend giving it a go!

As of today, this is the highest rated game of 2025. Really impressive ratings, I hope I can find some free time to play it later.

Aviassembly.

Its fun in the way that building airplanes in KSP is fun. The game is small, and the physics are simple, but for $10 its a good value.

I’m the opposite. I hate fighting Mr. Freeze in Arkham City, especially on harder difficulties when you have to use every kind of takedown on him. I just find it annoying trying to get him in the perfect position for some of them like the glide or line launcher takedowns.

But I do get why people would like that.

I loved the Cold, Cold Heart DLC for Origins though.

I do not hear enough love for Cold Cold Heart. It’s an awesome retelling of Freeze’s Origin story, and for me only really topped by his BtAS version
