Navarian, do gaming w How much 5e do you have to know to enjoy Balders Gate 3?

There is a considerable amount of depth to the game, but it’s not insurmountable for anyone. You’ll have no problem going through the game if you read through tool tips and help pop-ups as they arise. DnD knowledge needed is none at all or negligible at best.

If you do end up playing, I hope you enjoy!

In my opinion, It helps to know the rock bottom basics (like why is this d20 being rolled all the time and what the stats are) but it’s certainly not a necessity.

As somebody with no knowledge of 5e but some knowledge of 3.5e, it’s been pretty user-friendly. The game goes out of its way to make mechanics pretty easy to grasp. Tooltips can be brought up to and you can go further with any highlighted words in the spell/ability tooltip, so you can look up what “Prone” is when you’re look at the “Trip Attack” tooltip, as an example.

The only knock I have so far is that it doesn’t outline class progression at all, especially since the game apparently does deviate from tabletop rules at times, but that’s more of a QoL thing than anything else.

Taako_Tuesday, do games w What is your gaming "comfort food" and why?

Minecraft. I go through phases of not playing it, but once or twice a year I’ll start up a new world and just mindlessly build and mine while listening to a podcast or an audiobook, and will play every night for several weeks. I’ve started so many minecraft worlds over the years that I really don’t need to think about what to do next

If you have experience with RPGs that’s all you need, the game will walk you thru it as others have said, I’ve never played d&d and having a good time

Finished my first playthrough of valheim this week as a duo team. Yagulath and the Queen boss were pretty crazy. I’m hoping the Ashlands comes out soon, not really sure what to do with the game until then.

HidingCat,

Man, I liked a lot of what Valheim offered, I just couldn't sink the hours into it. Felt like doing work after work.

unce,

Yeah it does feel a bit grindy at times for all the iron and coal, but taking it slow can be fun if you don’t have much time for it. I really liked building and trying out all the different weapons.

They put a lot of time into making sure the game would be accessible and fun for new players. Give it a go and I’d wager you’ll have a blast

BartsBigBugBag, do gaming w Worth to replay Ghost Of Tsushima? (PS5)

Crank the difficulty and play as a samurai instead of a ninja. Just straight rush every enemy you see. You’ll still probably have problems trying to complete all the assorted landmarks on the map, but the combat is way more fun when you and everyone around you die in 1-2 hits and you’re constantly swapping stances to stay alive.

Honestly, I wouldn’t do a replay, if I were you. I would just get the expansion pack and play that. If you’re really itching for a replay, you can do New Game Plus and at least earn New cosmetics instead of unlocking the same ones again.

Citizen Sleeper - fantastic narrative driven sci fi game that plays a bit like a worker placement board game

my husband and I are playing Diablo 4 still. we made our third each character a few days ago and are enjoying the seasonal content. my best friend and I are currently doing her first playthrough of all the kingdom hearts games. it was my first time beating KH1 myself. i finally made it to a world in kingdom hearts 2 after the endless Roxas prologue. we only get a couple hours every weekend, but it’s been really fun. and in between on my own I’m playing pikmin 4.

NGU Idle is the greatest idle game to ever exist. It simply cannot be beaten. It’s free on Steam.

The first time I played I did it with full color and English dub, and it was good, but it kind of suffers from the “Pick the cat turds out of the sandbox” issue that almost every single one of these games do, where eventually you’re just going from POI to POI on the undiscovered portions of the map and everything gets kind of samey after a while.

I don’t know if playing in Kurosawa mode would be a fresh enough experience to hold me through a second playthrough.

forgeddit, do gaming w What incremental games do you enjoy?

I’ve tried almost all popular incremental games. Some I might have forgotten, but most are not listed because I lost interest.

Sorry in advance for lack of links, on mobile ATM. If there is interest I can add them.

Note: Most web games work on mobile, but some require an S-Pen or so for hovering upgrade tooltips before buying.

Favorites, beaten (web):

  • Matter dimensions (my all time favorite)
  • Godtree incremental (quite short)
  • Idle Formulas
  • Succubox (too much clicking but was similar to universal paperclips)
  • Smaller demo games, like summer jam games or from www.incrementaldb.com

Favorites, beaten (Android):

  • Upload Simulator (nice pacing)

Still playing (web)

  • Incremental Mass Rewritten (active development)
  • Antimatter dimensions (inspiration for many others, mobile app missing last layer)
  • Fundamental (slow cycle; upgrades -> offline -> warp offline time)

Current Android games:

  • Ctrl C (repeat old chapters for multipliers)
  • Grimoire
  • Myriad + Myriad DE (definite edition is slower, but in development)
  • Upload Simulator 2 (don’t like the pacing compared to 1st)
  • SPACEPLAN (trying out. nice, apparently new, visuals)

Also occasionally playing steam versions of Increlution or Cookie Clicker, and waiting for Orb of Creation v0.6.0.

LoamImprovement,

Currently 100+ days into Fundamental, it is shockingly deep despite being so simple.

Currently playing ‘Brotato’ on the Switch! Super fun quick game,.

Each round you have to survive and then spend money on weapons/items to survive the next round until Round 20 (unless you do endless).

You unlock difficulties (by surviving the rounds) and characters with different perks/attributes.
