Slither.io is definitely my most played browsergame. It gets way more fun with a mod that lets you zoom out a little, as the bigger you get the worse the experience normally gets…

@fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.net avatar

there must be a small number of players that torrented it then bought it after they played and things like that

curiosityLynx,

I’ve got an unhealthy amount of hours and money (games, DLC) invested in various Paradox games because I once pirated EU3 on a whim.

My Steam Library now contains CK2 with most gameplay DLC, CK3 with most gameplay DLC, EU4 with all gameplay and content DLC, Stellaris with most gameplay/content DLC, HoI4 with most gameplay DLC, Sengoku, and other Paradox games that aren’t grand strategy like Magicka 1&2.

And both my hours in CK2 and EU4 are in the 4 digit realm, though admittedly that includes times where I played in bed, fell asleep and the respective game kept running.

Frostpunk. Get it and take a break on life. Factorio the game is a permanent one.

CrabAndBroom,

Frostpunk is my “try really hard to not implement fascism and inevitably implement fascism anyway” simulator.

Riftbreaker has a much more “hands on” action approach rather than being an RTS but you might like it, it’s a good game.

Im also waiting for Diplomacy is not an option to leave early access, seems like a promising title although it’s kinda simple.

Would you say Age of Darkness is worth buying now or should I wait until it’s completed? It looked interesting but reviews are mixed when it comes to bugs, technical performance and content overall.

Tried both of these, while fun they aren’t quite what I’m looking for. Riftbreaker is definitely on a higher level then DINAO.

I would say go for it, AFAIK the game is mostly complete (IIRC only big things left are the last 3rd of the campaign and faction-specific models for buildings, possibly multiplayer) and while the bugs can be pretty bad they aren’t very common, usually get fixed quickly, and tend to only occur after major updates. Nothing I would consider inappropriate for an EA game at it’s stage in development.

Usually, I find ports of PC Games best. I don’t know if they are suited for 9 year olds, but broken sword, baba is you or papers please are really good on mobile devices. Point and click in general is a very portable genre for mobiles.

AceFuzzLord, do games w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

I remember spending a lot of time playing browser games from Nitrome.

Mutiny, that cave runner game, Dirk Valentine, Ice Breaker, Bad Ice, etcetera.

I also played a lot of the Bloons series. Hell, when I found out about BTD5 flash, I thought it was some fake fan made game that would give me a virus.

JonTheKnight, do games w Assassin's Creed Mirage Review Thread | (76/100 OpenCritic)

I was wondering how a DLC turned full-release would turn out for them. I haven’t played an AC game since Black Flag, but I was hoping this might have gotten me interested again, especially with them returning to the classic style of the originals. Nothing I’ve seen from reviews or video gameplay feels compelling to me about it.

TropicalMustafa, do games w Assassin's Creed Mirage Review Thread | (76/100 OpenCritic)

Do I need to play any other before? I’ve stopped on AC2 because I didn’t like the direction the games were taking.

obbelusk,

If you thought the games went in the wrong direction after 2 I wouldn’t think this game would be a good fit from what I’ve read. The story has become very complicated during the 16 years since the first one. Might be worth watching a recap on Valhalla to understand who Basim is. It’s probably fine to jump in without it though.

@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

As I said in your last post, excessive self-promotion is against the rules (rule 3). What made me remove it isn’t the content, but rather the lack of content. It was kinda just a link to your new community. 😅

For the this one you took the time and effort to make an elaborate post, opening it up to discussion. That’s better imo.

Some other mods may argue that the last paragraph asking to check your profile may be a self-promotion in disguise (so rule 3, again), so maybe remove that. Other than that it looks good to me.

Thank you for explaining it to me in detail. The mention of my profile was only to give reassurance that I was going to be actively building a community and not just making one and doing nothing. But I can see it from your perspective now. I will remove the mention from the post.

JTStrikesBack, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

I think this really is just a personal preference deal. I WANT games with scores and grades. Come on, game, tell me that I’m horrible and that I need to do better! Maybe I’m into the punishment, I don’t know. Played too much Bop It! as a kid and got used to the guy screaming when I messed up.

This is why I play so many arcade style games, and so many rhythm games. This is why communities for speedrunning, rhythm games, and high scores still exist - otherwise I would think I’m completely alone in this 😂

@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

Doesn’t Hitman have a grading system too? Going for Silent Assassin is half the fun no?

learningduck,

Yes, and I have no problem with it at all. I guess, because instead of presenting grades in ABC, it uses ranking that’s less judgemental instead, which is also different based on play style also.

Games that I keep retrying to achieve a better grade or even add an extra challenge myself are Splinter Cells and Metal gear solid.

Did you know you can get RSS feeds for any Lemmy community? I’ve only bothered setting up one (https://feddit.uk/feeds/c/freegames.xml?sort=Active), but hey, it is gaming content!

Recently beat Lies of P.

I am a huge souls fan, and Elden Ring is probably my favorite game of all time.

I was expecting Lies of P to be a competent souls knockoff, but it’s so much more than that.

It has some issues, sure. But I really think the game is superb. I am beyond excited to see what they do next in the genre. They got so many things right.

atrielienz, do games w Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left?

I get a lot of my gaming news from Spawnwave on YouTube. But I dunno. In depth reviews are hard.
