I am on the exact same boat as you. 9yo daughter keeps asking to download a bunch of crap with in app purchases or ads. The problem is that there’s so much crap for mobile. I almost never play anything on my phone, but her at her age and the current times of short attention span being bored for longer than a second seems.like a taboo, she needs to have stuff on her phone, even though we have a Switch at home with loads of good quality games.
I agree there’s a lot of crap, and it takes some time and conversation. Lots of tips in this topic as well. Eg Play Pass looks pretty cool so far, and I’m going to look at F Droid and installing an emulator.
I’m also explaining to her why I reject some apps. She seems to understand it better and better.
I’m also going to look at using Tasker to set it to airplane mode on all apps except Play Store and Chrome.
I had a list of some flash games I used to obsess over, but I can’t find it right now. I’ll throw Sonny 2 as my recommendation, I beat that game many times and I still come back to it every now and then. It’s a top-tier RPG.
I would also recommend Gemcraft and Bloons TD, but they have premium sequels now that are way better than the web games.
I remember a time when I would finish an AC game in like one weekend, but after black flags the series just became boring. Seems like open world slop is what ubisoft is going for.
Same. Unless I hear otherwise I’ll probably skip this one as, like you, I enjoyed the recent direction of the last 3 installments more than previous ones.
I like factory or management games, even ones where it is expected you will fail, like Dwarf Fortress, because it’s not about winning or getting a high score. It’s about going in with an idea and setting it through to fruition. I like seeing things I spent a bunch of time on as a large concrete thing I can go back and look at again, and actually have it provide meaningful value in a direct way instead of just incrementing some number in the engine somewhere.
I still play some roguelites that are like that, but there is something nice about sandbox games where progress isn’t directly quantifiable.
I finished the story in TOTK on Sunday, and I just started Baldur’s Gate 3. But I’m starting to wonder if I should pause BG3 for a minute and play through something a little smaller rather than going from one huge game to another.
I’m just amazed that prey 2006 is still hilariously cheap on those gray Market sites, cuz that’s the only way to get it now
One day I’ll give the game with the same name an actual shot, because I’m sure it’s good on its own merits, but it will always be a reminder that Prey 2. The REAL Prey 2 was stolen from us
I still need to play it, been meaning to go a playthrough on my Steam Deck but every time I hear about Prey someone is always saying it’s a great game.
I really want to play single-player versions, or at least on my own private server, games like Travian or Ikariam. Basically resource management strategies but without the insane need to be 24/7 online in anticipation of an enemy attack.
Edit: Also a single player tab targetting open world rpg.
