That looks amazing! Wishlisted :) I love the mechanic of intentionally blowing yourself out into space to escape an imminently exploding ship and then remote controlling your own ship to then rescue you lol

Backpack Battles! Fantastic little inventory management game with a load of replay value.

Contentedness,

Huh! I’ve never come across the genre, I feel this is a good opportunity to try some new things so I appreciate the suggestion. Will look into it!

Oh I forgot to mention this part. They have a free demo on Steam with ~1/3 of the playable content. That alone is great. The full game is reasonably priced too and they’re still rolling out content updates frequently

Oh I like that one, it's like a really colourful version of Power to the People.

I'm not really into manic shooters but I do enjoy watching other people play them.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 as a racing game 👀

You can play osrs with just mouse, though keyboard shortcuts are handy/mandatory for late game - you won’t be there though before the hand heals 😅

Minesweeper

badcommandorfilename,

Solitaire - classic top down perspective.

Come to think of it, so was that Space Pinball game too.

played hundreds of hours of both lol

I could never get on with Minesweeper. I bet it's something to do with my ADHD and Discalculia.

It’s such an overcrowded genre isn’t it?

Well it’s not really a genre, just a mode of perspective.

Disco Elysium ditched combat for an everything-is-dialogue-approach and it is really really good.

Played the hell out of DE and I agree! :D

If you’re a grand strategy fan: Crusader Kings 3. You could spend hundreds of hours in that game, and it’s mainly designed to be played with only a mouse.

Contentedness,

Oh I remember looking into this a while back but it seemed kind of daunting. Perhaps now’s the time to take the plunge! Appreciate the suggestion!

simple,

It’s definitely a bit difficult to get into, but I’d recommend doing the tutorial and going with the flow rather than trying to understand everything. You’ll slowly start to realize what’s going on.

Skua,

I'd also add that CK3 is a step above most Paradox games in terms of beginner-friendliness. Everything has a tooltip defining what it does, and most of the game-specific words in that tooltip have tooltips of their own. It's not like the older games and their "lol keep the wiki open and good fucking luck" approach to explaining themselves

Nibodhika,

CK can be daunting, I recommend you choose which time period you like best and go with that game, e.g. if you like sci-fi go with Stellaris, if you like WWII go with Hearts of Iron 4, etc. liking the time period where the game is set can make a huge difference in you willingness to learn it. For example if you don’t like medieval it might be daunting to track lineages and hereditary traits and how the ownership of land works (I once lost an entire kingdom because of it on CK2), but if you like WWII maybe seeing historical facts reflected on mechanics or learning military tactics is more interesting to you. All of those games are very different from one another, but they’re also very alike, starting with one that’s just the right one can help you pass the steep learning curve.

Not sure how old you are, have you played the first and second GTA?

Very old and yes I have (when they came out in fact 🤣)

Maybe this is not what you are looking for but I like Creeper World 3!

@Novamdomum@fedia.io avatar

Ooh it wasn't but I like the look of that one! the 2D representing a 3D world thing is really interesting.

MajesticElevator, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

There is no game: wrong dimension

There might be some keyboard moments iirc but they’re not intense and you can let the mouse go iirc

Contentedness,

Intriguing! I’ll definitely look into it, thanks!

Lembot_0001, do games w Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?

Try Dismantle. You can dismantle buildings there(it isn’t the goal, just a rather unique part of gameplay). It even has some plot. And looks nice.

I'd forgotten I already have that one from ages ago. I'll have another look at it thanks :)
