Dying Light 1 is the best one anyways - DL2 was a big step down and DL:TB was fine, but wasn’t able to really “connect” to DL1 either. DL1 just had everything - great combat, great parcour, creepy nights with an actual INCENTIVE to go out (to kill bolters) - I honestly don’t know why they are unable to replicate that success.
To answer the question - Rimworld and Project Zomboid. As always.
Nice. Last I played, I recently found out colonists’ moods are locked the second their enter a coma. I of course abused this by turning my colonists into unaging sangophages, getting them as happy as possible, having them deathrest permanently, and then giving them a psychic harmonizer.
Eventually I got my hands on a modified sangophage gene with psychic hypersensitivity, and it was smooth sailing from there. My little meat joy batteries would each give my colonists up to like +40 mood in a massive radius around my base.
Good so far. I’m doing a lot of the side quests, but the prologue was good without being unduly difficult, and did force me to think a little creatively.
I recommend trying Automobilista 2! It has decent VR support and decent VR performance compared to most sims, and makes it hard to race elsewhere for me.
You’d still need to keep your eyes locked dead centre of the screen while you move for that. To each their own though. Natural movement and tracking is a game changer
Guild Wars Reforged, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, Trine 5 and Neptunia Game Maker R:Evolution(on the deck). I find it hard focusing on a single game.
It's a purely narrative game, the original version (this is now a remake of a remake in a new engine) was made in RPG Maker but without any RPG elements. Walk around, talk to NPCs, watch the story unfold.
The one big thing it has in common with Undertale is that the less you know going in, the better. If the art style and vibe is enough to get your attention, go ahead and give it a shot, go in blind.
Enshrouded - it’s an action RPG/survival crafter/base builder that’s quite addictive. I’m surprised that it’s not more well known, because it’s incredibly fun. :)
Even though it’s early release, there is a TON of content already. It’s well worth buying now. I’ve got 600+ hours into the game (a lot of which was building sweet bases and had nothing to do with the quests, but yeah…), myself.
Browsed the steam winter sales, was tempted to purchase something, but instead remembered that I have Dishonored 2 and never played it, cause my old PC struggled a little with it. Now I’m playing through the original to refresh my memory for the sequel and I didn’t spend a dime on the sale!
Wtf. Of a physical copy? You got screwed more than most people in the comment section. You’re the only one to get screwed by a physical preorder, that I saw
I can’t specifically remember what games, but this definitely happened to me at toys r us several times. Back in the physical copy days you had to pre-order big releases most of the time and the pre-order was usually held but they often oversold because the distributor didn’t send all the copies they’d ordered.
It was toys r us for me too, I was able to get a copy a week later but there’s no point to preordering if they don’t honor the reservation & when you’re a kid that week feels like forever so it sticks pretty brightly in memory
I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 4. It’s ok, only more of what I expected, nothing incredible like Dread was for me. You can definitely feel how it’s cobbled together after being in development hell.
I finally picked up Dave the Diver on sale, looking forward to digging into that soon.
I adore Nethack; there is so much to discover! Although, most of it is stuff that kills you. My first ascension was with the very reliable human Valkyrie.
Yeah it’s ridiculously deep. Like I said, I played it for 30 years and I still learn new stuff all the time when I read the wiki or watch videos, like “damn! Had no clue, that is pretty smart, what a bizarre mechanism but it’s perfectly logical when you think about it” hahaha!
Hahaha! First run ever that I got a wand of wishing and genuinely have nothing more I need, so I wished for a blessed figurine of an Archon and applied it, and he spawned with Demonbane and just mows down monsters like it’s nobody’s business. :)
Oh wow, you are going to spend a lot of time on the https://nethackwiki.com, there’s also a tutorial on YouTube that goes into the basics. First tip is: dying is fun! Just experiment a lot in the beginning. Start out with a dwarven valkyrie, that’s the easiest class/race to play.
In the beginning you’re just going to learn the controls and get used to visually id monsters and items. I don’t know which version you play, I can recommend one with a visual GUI, I’m an ASCII purist myself, but the interface for vanilla Nethack is just brutal. There are variants like Fiqhack and Dynahack that come with a bunch of QoL improvements like separate windows for message history, inventory, stats et c.
It takes a very long time to learn and master (as evidenced by my 30 year journey), but there is just something to it, it is so well thought out and it has been continuously tweaked over almost 40 years, and sees plenty of people still playing it.
There’s a nethack subreddit that I would recommend checking out when you have questions!
I think 3 was the last one I played too. Amazing game, but they feel like Madden or Dynasty Warriors to me. There just isn’t enough difference between the various entries to make it interesting for me, so I never bought any of the newer ones.
Yup, the launcher is now optional and there’s an offline mode. My biggest annoyance was that, when I launched it the first time, it played an ad for the new DL game featuring the main voice actor.
I wouldn’t be playing it otherwise. They added a Dark Souls-esque invasion mode where you can jump into other people’s games as a zombie, and I HATE that mechanic. I am very much a single player, “jump in when I feel like it” type, and don’t want to have to depend on online play or coop to succeed.
You can just kill everyone in stealth sections so far, and there was no eavesdropping in the missions I’ve done. There are some escort missions, but they give you time and tools to try killing all of the attackers before they even approach
