Stardew valley. Sea of stars. Kingdom come 2. The anno series. Metaphor re fantazio. The Case of the golden idol. Baldur’s Gate 1 &2 enhanced. Planescape torment. Against the storm. Star wars Galactic battlegrounds (it’s basically start wars age of empires 2, same engine). Civilization 5 or 6 (I prefer 5 but plenty of people prefer 6, and seems like no one prefers 7). Command and conquer (except 4). Crusader Kings. Europa universalis.
Thanks! Most I already know, I’ll check the rest. Man, do I miss generals zero hour. If only it had a working multi-player, preferably Lan. I’m a China infantry general master. Even with all the fixes people made I constantly get a “game has detected a mismatch”.
This thread is actually huge, so apologies if this has already been recommended, but take a look at Against the Storm. It’s an indie city-builder with a bit of a rogue-like spin. You can usually get it on fairly deep sales, and the rogue-like elements combined with some meta-progression gives it a real play length, even though a single city-building session is a ~45-60 minute experience.
I’m a slut for La Belle Epoque so even though I’m not necessarily in the market for a JRPG at the moment I might just cave anyway with scores like this.
I’m almost done with Blue Prince too, so it’s fortuitous timing.
Thanks, will check them out! Railway empire 2 doesn’t look like something I’d like but I have 2 hours to try before refund and if you say it’s good, I’ll go check it out :)
With Railway it’s the typical anticipation of strategy games that gets you. Just one more expansion of your network, one more resource to connect to a town, one more logistical puzzle to solve. It’s way more intricate (in a good way) than just managing the budget and I’ve sunk hours and hours into some of those missions to figure them out.
I’m so happy to see your daughter stealing your Steam Deck (even if you’re not!) and enjoying some fun games. Have you tried Cassette Beasts? She might enjoy that, it’s my fav of the Pokemon clones!
Fan-made big box with a Civvie quote on the back… that’s the dream as an aspiring boomer shooter dev!
I’ve been playing Nine Sols on Steam Deck this week… getting my arse kicked and it’s making me kinda sad. I used to love difficult reflex challenge games like the From Software games, etc. But last year I was destroyed by a mystery virus and it did something to my brain. I’ve been feeling a lot better for the last few months and thought maybe I’ve finally recovered enough to play some hard games so I grabbed Nine Sols and yeah, I’m not quite there. But it seems like a really cool game! Urgh!
I’ve also been playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault which I grabbed in the GOG sale. Playing through on hard has been a blast (except the snipers, fuck those guys), and the early 2000s aesthetics are really nice… didn’t realise how much I missed this style as I usually go for 90s games when I’m feeling retro.
Yeah, I’ve been replaying Golden Sun for the last week (finishing up achievements for RetroAchievements) and there are really frequent fights in the game, two steps and a fight, two steps and another fight, and the npcs are fine, and even seem to be traveling around without any problems, when I can’t even walk three damn centimeters without an encounter… it’s pissing me off.
