Apparently quite a few people play Cataclysm DDA on android.

Catpurple,

I love CDDA and played it loads on desktop, but I could never get into the Android version. The touchscreen controls are painful, but of course they kind of can’t be anything but painful. I think most people play with Bluetooth keyboards, but I figure that if I have to use a Bluetooth keyboard, I might as well just be playing it at my desktop. Still have CDDA installed on my phone anyway though.

Kintarian,

Thanks, I’ll look that up.

Cave Story+.

You are Quote, an amnesiac robot. The world appear to have gone to shit and you don’t know why.

It’s a 2D sidescroller, which if I told myself, I would find immediately boring, but the animation, controls and story combined as just so good. It’s so good.

Mango,

This game is decently famous. Also it’s amazing. What’s the + about?

Krauerking,

Ahhh back when Nicalis ruled the world of indie games

Dungeon Keeper

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9f86e936-7bc5-4e8e-ae88-7d390e967876.png

It’s a dungeon management game from '97. You are an evil Keeper and control a dungeon where you need to build rooms and train your creatures to attack (or defend from) the good guys.

Nowadays people play KeeperFX which is the opensource remake.

Pizza Tower is a love letter to the Wario Land series, and from my experience, is a drug trip and a half for the sheer absurdity of the game. If you do pick this up, I recomend going in blind :3

Ketram, do games w What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?

A bit of an obscurer one, but I would love another Black & White, based on Black & White 2. It’s a god game where you control a giant bipedal creature, control a city (or several) and battle against other gods through architecture and combat. You can train your creature to do things you prefer and expand your influence however you like.

It had a good/evil morality system, is completely winnable by being a pacifist, and has a really cute style of humor.

No other God game has quite scratched that itch and it’s still fun to this day almost 20 years later.

MoonlightFox,

Those games were great!

And it’s the perfect fit for a VR game as well. The top down towering from the heavens over your domain would make the island feel like a table top game… And you could give your pet proper scritches.

Chex quest. I got this game in a cereal box back in 1996. It defined my childhood.

Now they have an HD version on steam.

Jazz Jackrabbit. Poor fella’s been abandoned for over 2 decades now. Really fun platformer, a 3rd game was in early works, but Epic ditched it to focus entirely on Unreal

Star Wars Jedi Knight series. As is, there’s Dark Forces (Star Wars Doom), Jedi Knight (Star Wars Quake 2), Jedi Outcast (awesome) and Jedi Academy (good, but JO is overall more polished). Thank fuck the years of EA-exclusive Star Wars games is over. There are several other SW game series that deserve to make a return (Republic Commando, X-Wing/Tie-Fighter, KotOR), but my first vote would go for Jedi Knight

Mindustry

An open-source factorio like game. You can play it on PC or your phone, and it has a self hostable server that is relatively easy to setup.

Edit: I’m really glad to see this game is pretty well known!

sparr,

Worth noting that this game was written as part of a game jam and was already amazing even just a few days into development. itch.io/jam/gdl---metal-monstrosity-jam/…/140169

A lot of people will disagree, but I loved Star Fox Adventures. It was easily my favorite Star Fox game.

3D Rayman games, the only one I played was Rayman 2, so that’s all I can go off of.

BIONICLE, the game to the movie was a bit janky, but so much fun!

Pokémon Rumble: I remember only liking the first one (didn’t play the second), and really disliking Rumble U. There’s a mobile game now apparently, but…no thanks.

A very obscure one: Onslaught, from the Wii Shop. A first person sci-fi shooter with Wii motion controls, playing on an alien planet with giant bug creatures. Quite reminiscent of Helldivers or Starship Troopers.

Asura’s Wrath: I think a remake would be nice, not sure if there’s much space for a sequel, the ending fit quite nicely.

Xenoblade Chronicles X: I’m gonna count this as its own franchise separate from the other Xenoblade games, and a remaster, remake or sequel would be amazing.

Bonus: Borderlands 2 had a good setup for a sequel, an incredible villain and such great characters. I’d love to see where they’d take their stories, like Maya & Krieg. Should be about time for Borderlands 3, I’m sure it’d be great! (FUCK WHYYYYY)

iamthewalrus,

Haven’t played it, but wasn’t there a Borderlands 3 a few years ago?

Miphera,

Yeah, that last one was sarcastic. They kinda fucked up the story, writing and characters. Villains were ass, writing for most beloved characters was basically a character assassination, Maya & Krieg never even met again, just everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.

Gameplay was great, but I hated everything else so much that I uninstalled after 5h (with close to a thousand hours spread across the rest of the franchise).

iamthewalrus,

Ah, shame. Is it still worth a shot for someone who’s coming in fresh? I haven’t played any of the games in this series but to enjoy a good shooter.

Miphera,

There’s so much content, even if you don’t play BL3, you’ll have a lot of fun! BL1 and BL2 have a GOTY edition with all the DLC (from memory, between 4 and 6 story DLCs per game, BL2 also has 2 additional characters and a sort of max lvl / extra difficulty mode), and are super cheap at this point. Do wait for a sale if possible, BL1 GOTY Enhanced is frequently 67% off ($10), and BL2 GOTY 80% off ($9)

There’s also The Pre-Sequel, which came out after BL2 and plays between BL1 and BL2. Gameplay is like BL2 with some additions, but it’s not as good as BL2. Still worth playing imo, but the community is split on it. If you play it, even though it plays between BL1 and BL2, it’s intended to be played after BL2.

A lot of the more interesting things regarding character builds & weapons happens in NG+ and NG++, you can spend ages just replaying it and farming bosses & chests in the endgame, and the coop is also really nice (but not at all required). I definitely recommend starting with the first one, and if you do, I think Lilith has by far the most interesting gameplay. In BL2, I think almost every character has fun gameplay, just Axton feels a bit boring to me personally.

NFL 2K. NFL 2K5 was so good and scared EA so much, it led to the EA/NFL exclusivity deal and the death of the entire football game genre for the last few decades now.

Bunch of great suggestions already so I’ll add these:

Sid Meier’s pirates!

Majesty

Gothic (it’s actually getting remake, but if the intro they’ve showed is anything to go by, it’s gonna be a disappointment. We’ll see…)

MajorHavoc,

Agreed. The lack of a modern remake of Sid Meijer’s Pirates is tragic.

ryathal,

Majesty really needs another game. Simulation is pretty popular now and the second one was so disappointing.
