I was just looking at Valve’s publishing history. Their catalog is super small, only releasing games every few years. Aperture desk job was amazing (even if very short and sweet). I don’t have VR but Half Life:Alyx was also very well received. Recent evidence suggests there will be a HL3 sometime in the near future.

Do I wish Valve would invest more of the unfathomable amount of money they’re making into producing excellent games? Absolutely.

Am I going to hold it against them if some of the games they make are money-printing machines? Not really.

Here are some favourites of my daughter:

• Minetest, a completely free and open source Minecraft clone
• Picsart, a drawing app. I couldn’t find any free app that is similar in features.
• the camera app, to make short videos, even cool stop motion videos, or pictures to paint on with Picsart
• Signal, to share her art with the family. Although I don’t think it will run on a tablet.
• Toca Boca World, a cute little game where you can decorate houses and play with figures
• GCompris, a compilation of learning games, although she seems to have grown out of them in third grade

If you have a PC great games for her besides Minecraft are Spider-Man, Goat Simulator, Life is Strange: True Colors (we play that together) and GTA 5 (seriously, give her a 100% save. the interactivity in that game is through the roof)

This is the most useful answer and yet not the top answer or the answer that OP needs 🙄

I’d like to add Unpacking to the list, my girlfriend found it amazing, I am unsure if a school girl will find it fun too though.

without having read any comments i bet 99% of them are people telling you that you shouldnt give your daughter girly games even if it is she who wants them.

The laws of captialism entropy:

Any organization that sees success will attract profit-driven leadership, and will become such over time. The soul from the original founders will be watered down, dampened, or ejected.

A profit-driven organization will over time become more and more profit-seeking, never less. Once this reaches a certain threshold, we start to use phrases like “enshittification”. Valve hasn’t gone shit yet imho, but their soul and passion doesn’t seem to lie in games anymore.

The next excellent product comes from new, growing organizations or small teams that may grow into such.

It is best to just treat it as any other law of nature and so we move on from Blizzard, Google, EA, Valve, Epic Games, Unity, etc and go swim in the wonderful vibrant indie scene.

This is just a reminder that Gabe Newell is just another billionaire and he collects yachts, he’s not your friend!

I should have been more clear; I don’t like gender stereotypes and I am not pushing her towards anything. I’d be perfectly happy for her to play any game she likes, as long as it has no adds or micro transactions.

I literally typed the description she gave me of the game she wants.

Just let her pick games she likes. Why does it have to be a “girly” game

I just do not want games with adds or micro transactions.

My first though was “Hell yea, another Pillars of Eternity game” then I remembered that Deadfire has been out for a long time and Avowed was announced a while ago.

It’s a good time period for action rpgs. This and monster hunter wilds are looking like a ton of fun.

Grim Dawn has a new expansion coming next year too.

strongarm, 10 miesięcy temu

I honestly thought the dev team had gone to an end on Grim Dawn, but they’ve kept it going with patches and content.

There is a !horizon community but unfortunately there just isn’t the interest to build an active community here (on Lemmy) for specific games at the moment. !games seems to be a good place for it at the moment but feel free to cross-post.

Isnt Icefrog one of the lead devs? I guess he likes this style of game. How many Total Wars, 4x and CoDs were released while Valve made one more Dota-like. Valve has some cool people working, vut O don’t see a Suda51, a Raphael, Swery or Co, who has the focus to develope such a single player experience. If the flat structure with ‘at will’ project focus is still a thing, than sp games have probably a problem getting devs.

Geth, 10 miesięcy temu

Since they are probably working on other stuff as well could this mean that Icefrog is the only lead who can take a project to completion reliably within Valve’s organizational structure?

I’d like them to do an RPG, something completely off the wall, like the TF2 crew playing D&D.

I’m not saying everything in the world has been done, but “what, like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?”

Carighan, 10 miesięcy temu

Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Which, importantly, is already a game based upon a DLC for a previous Borderlands game!

Don’t they supposedly have a couple other games in the works, too? What are the chances they’re working on three new MOBAs?

Geth, 10 miesięcy temu

Inject this hopium into my veins.

They could just be one moba, one hero shooter and one last man standing, all online and all competitive.

what was the story point you’re thinking of? the suspense is killing me lol

Warning, incoming rant. Spoiler tags not working

Itss regarding the

spoilernow sentient subordinate functions, and more importantly, how Aloy treated them.

In Zero Dawn

spoilerDemitri, the one incharge of plant life, scattered metal flowers about in the first game, with bits of poetry his creator loved. He also had flowers growing around Elizabeth Sobeck’s body in the ending cutscene. Then theres CYAN and her whole saga in Frozen Wilds. Aloy really seemed to get along with her.

And yet, in the first half of Forbidden Quest

spoilerAloy has no qualms about killing the subfunctiond and restoring them to base code for the new Gaia. Minerva was damn scared, hiding in the Base the whole time, all the while sending an encrypted signal saying ‘Here I am’. Aether (weather control) didnt do anything wrong at all, just kept trying to do his duty, even as the errors kept mounting and the storms increasing.

Thats as far as I managed to get before shutting the game down. Will prob uninstall too. Even if the game has well established that Aloy is getting desperate to restore

::: spoiler spoiler GAIA ::: , this seems way out of character.

The first game story was terrible and so is the second. This is some trivial shit to quit over but to each their own.
