Definitely have to get him Valheim, and they have an Xbox version now. Also, not multiplayer, but Kerbal Space Program is pretty fun. I have only played the PC version though, so can’t speak to the console version.

WetBeardHairs,

Oh I forgot valheim was multiplayer. Thanks. He even played it for a little while so I’ll have to get that one going again

At that age, maybe Among Us or Minecraft?

WetBeardHairs,

Those are already commonly played by him and his friends, so you were right to suggest them.

For a second I confused Among Us with The Last of Us. I thought that was a pretty messed up suggestion for a little kid lol

Moonring has been really fun, and it’s free! Not F2P, just free. The developer made it as a passion project, and it’s easily worth $10, imo. Lots of reading.

It’s akin to an old NES or early 90s PC game with the polish and applied game theory of modern times.

averyminya,

Moonring is made by a dev of Fable right?

Telorand,

Yep, one of the co-creators. Has a website that he hasn’t updated in a year or two that’s geared towards teaching people programming, so seems like a pretty cool guy!

averyminya,

Yeah he’s a good one. Left the studio over his convictions, can’t get much better than that.

Except of course when you follow up with what you mentioned - didn’t know that part. Even more awesome than I thought!

If you’ve not yet played through the Kiseki (The Legend of Heroes: Trails) series, I highly recommend them. They are very story heavy. You’d definitely want to begin with the Trails in the Sky series since every game in the series is connected (and if you want to get the whole picture and experience the greatest impact from the events that happen throughout the series).

I have had that one in my steam wishlist for a while, starting with Trails. Never pulled the trigger. I’ve heard that it is very much a slow burn, but ends up being a favourite for a lot of RPG fans. Accurate?

sudotstar,

I'm a big fan of the series and would consider it to be my favorite JRPG series, not just for the story but because I enjoy the gameplay it offers as well.

It's a fairly "cheap" series to try out and see if you're into it. The entire series is a singular, continuous story, so the recommended place to start is Trails in the Sky First Chapter, which can be picked up fairly cheaply on Steam, especially during Steam sales. It's not as long as future games in the series, and is fairly representative of the pacing and storytelling format that later games will follow (though it is considered one of the slowest-paced games in the series). Basically if you're not a fan of Sky FC, you're not likely to be a fan of the future games in the series either (especially given that the substantial improvements to gameplay over the series' 20 year history likely won't have much appeal to you).

There are also demos available for some of the newer games in the series (e.g. Trails of Cold Steel III), and while I would not recommend actually playing through those games out-of-order, they may serve as a quick/cheap way to see if the format of the games is right for you.

I will say that while the combat of the games is rarely very difficult, and the game provides difficulty modifiers to make it even easier if you'd like, that the combat system is still fairly fleshed out and quite good casually IMO, but if you're really not into doing it even at easy difficulties, one option (PC exclusive) may be to download completed game saves and play through the games on New Game+ and completely trivialize the combat.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I wish my holidays were longer – this one sounds very interesting 🤔

Autumn,
@Autumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’d say that is accurate. It is a slow burn to start, and it took me several tries to actually get into it. Once I did, I ended up plowing through all of the games. :) They are all excellent. The series is really something special. Trails to Azure is actually one of my most favorite games of all time, too.

Started with Rogue trader, can recommend it as a solid CRPG - Act 1 anyway. Apparently in Act 3/4 the gamebreaking bugs start to appear, and I’ve already found a few talents to be rather buggy. Probably should wait a month or two.

Otherwise, a game of Shadow of Forbidden gods is always good to relax while sending the world into shadow.

I mean, love it or hate it, Destiny 2 is literally made to be played by (mostly) 3-person teams. I’ve had a boatload of fun with it over the years.

Some beat them up: tmnt, streets of rage 4

Also since you did not mention playing remotely or not (although there are ways around that: parsec, steam remote play together…) almost any couch coop game: overcooked, moving out, unrailed…

Edit: all of those I cited have a online multiplayer mode I think, for overcooked the AYCE edition contains all of the first edition content but brings online MP amongst other things

I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

And i can say that it is, damn amazing!

It’s the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voice, with words or humming.

The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn’t very punishing. The respawn points aren’t too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

There are some little issues with the game tho. It doesn’t tell that combo rewards more currency from enemies (it’s a timed combo, sho shooting will either increase or refresh the combo, and shooting flying bodies increases the combo up to 2 more times). The ending seems to also be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

But overall these little issues aren’t that bad, and the game is still amazing.

  • Subnautica. Beautiful, frustrating, thalassic. The Freedom mode (no hunger or thirst) is nice. Searching for specific materials is frustrating.
  • WIldfrost. Roguelike deckbuilder set in a frozen wasteland. Cute, but deceptively difficult (especially for a newcomer to the genre). Apparently simpler than most “roguecards”. The art style falls under the category “I can’t believe the main artist doesn’t draw smut”.

A couple older games:

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. A very complex RTS with a pretty steep learning curve and advanced strategy. Awesome game but not casual.

Alien vs predator games are specifically 3 player (marine, alien , predator). Not sure if there is a modern version. Interesting because each of the 3 play differently.

Jumped into Chernobylite the other day, haven’t sunk much time into it, but I’m digging the atmosphere. So far it’s been a decent game to pop into after work and poke around a bit.

Rainbowdragoneyes makes good chiptune music (no fusion). Very underappreciated, it feels like.
