Stardew if you want a comfy game to play Timberborn for colony sim

Timberborn I played, was nice but don’t feel like playing that anymore.

Stardew I’ve heard great stories about, but doesn’t look like something for me. But I’ll for sure check it out!

snugglesthefalse,

Yeah similar here, I could never get into stardew and I played timberborn a while ago but haven’t felt like picking it up again since

Railway Empire 2 hard to put down once you get going.

Wasteland 3 is awesome and akin to DOS2 and BG3!

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 :)

Glitterkoe,

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.

Hmm, how about mindustry (its open source and free outside of steam)? It’s like factorio with tower defense. Note: after playing for few hours you might get access to many more stuff in game which might feel overwhelming

Nice thanks, will try!

Have you considered Rimworld or 4x games? Stellaris, in particular, might be up your alley.

idyllic_optimism,

+1 to RimWorld suggestion.

bassomitron,

++++1 for Rimworld. The first time I really committed to learning to play that game, I lost almost 100 hours in ~3 weeks (which is a ton for me, since I have kids and a job… I lost a lot of sleep). The best part of Rimworld, is if there’s a vanilla mechanic you don’t like or wish was fleshed out more, there’s a 98% chance someone has made a mod for it.

But yeah, it isn’t for the faint of heart. It definitely has a learning curve and it isn’t super easy to just pick up and play for small amounts here and there. It’s a game that you really need at least 1-2 hours per session.

I’d recommend watching a quick start tutorial video before you start playing, as that’ll also give you an idea on whether or not you’ll like it.

pennomi,

I almost religiously play games without modding, but Rimworld is the major exception - it is simply too good to ignore.

snugglesthefalse,

It’s fairly playable without mods these days, I’d recommend new players at least try that to find out what they’d want to tweak before diving in. But yeah at 3k+ hours on steam it’s definitely one of the games that’s given a bunch for me. Very moddable but I’d suggest trying to keep your list light (not that that really stops me), use rimpy for mod management and grab the performance mods like rocketman and performance fish.

Stellaris, in particular, might be up your alley.

I like Stellaris quite a bit, but I should note that OP mentioned how he didn’t like spending money on DLC. Stellaris follows the typical Paradox approach of creating a lot of DLC to expand and extend the game and its gameplay as long as people are interested in buying it, and winding up with a large game that’ll cost you a lot if you want all the DLC. It may be worthwhile, but if one wants to get all the DLC, it’s gonna add a fair bit to the price.

(checks Steam)

The base game is $40. Buying every available piece of DLC (and it looks like they’re still coming out with more stuff) is another $429.

That being said, I’ve also got a lot of hours of gameplay out of Stellaris, so that does bring the cost-per-hour down quite a lot. But it depends on how much someone is going to play the thing.

LordWiggle,
@LordWiggle@lemmy.world avatar

I played Stellaris, also HOI4 but those games were hard to learn, even harder to master.

I’ll go check Rimworld, thanks!

The Mr. Freeze fight certainly turns the tables. Shame I don't play the Arkham games to be prey!

Have you read “Red Team Blues” by Cory Doctorow? And if so, how did you feel it captured Red Team work?

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I’d add a variant on this:

Games where you spend hours unlocking death traps in tombs that haven’t been opened in 500 to 1,000 years only to find the mercenary opposition has already beaten you inside.

Looking at you Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, etc.

As always thanks for the post.

I buy and play games from all the storefronts so it’s nice that you post a variety of stuff and not just default to Steam like everyone else seems to. I also don’t follow the news closely anymore so the variety of topics you give is perfect too.

Regarding the website idea; Lemmy needs high quality posts so please keep doing what your doing :)

Just wanted to say I’m loving these posts, thanks for writing them

You’re so very kind to say so :)

I feel very lucky that someone enjoys these, because there’s a definite ‘cozy’ feeling when I sit down to type them up!!!

Great post. The personal touch reminded me of the articles on Rock Paper Shotgun.

Great post.

Here’s the Dreadmoor AMA on r/pcgaming on Reddit. It’s a disaster.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Ohhhhh thanks! I wondered where I’d seen it, it must have been there (I rarely visit reddit now!)

Kinda sad, it makes me feel for the people who try hard to create some buzz and it just collapses like that :(

egrets,
@egrets@lemmy.world avatar

Likewise, I avoid Reddit as much as I can; I found the AMA with a web search.

Sad for sure, but the person running the AMA is comically tone-deaf and unprepared.

Great news round up.

Playing through New Vegas again. I bought the oblivion remake but unfortunately it doesn’t feel great on the deck so I’ll finish Vegas and get around to oblivion this weekend

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I’m scared to admit I haven’t ever played New Vegas!

I’ve spent a terrifying amount of time in 4, and even the first two on PC, but…New Vegas is one of my ‘one day’ games!

Tieas,

I actually really love four, the story isn’t as good but the gameplay in the world is still incredible. New Vegas is talk to your story but because how old it is the gameplay doesn’t hold up quite as well. Still definitely worth experiencing.

Thanks for the news!

Since I am in holidays, away from my gaming computer, I’ve only played Bloons TD6 and a bit of Vampire Survivors…

On the other hand, my daughter took my new Steam Deck and played:

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

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!

wizzim,

:⁠-⁠)

Well she is having fun now, but soon it’ll be my turn enjoying the life, tinkering the Steam Deck to configure the emulators. Bliss!

Thanks for the Cassette Beasts recommendation. It was already on my wishlist but I’ll bump it up.

Nice post!

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.

Shame about Nightdive not getting permission to do Goldeneye. They’ve done great work in the past, and a remaster of Goldeneye would have been awesome to see.

Don’t be nervous, I love your posts, and I’m sure others do to 🙌.

peculiar_goat,

Yeah Goldeneye has a legit good campaign… would love to play it on PC with some modern convenience. The Perfect Dark decomp/port project is fantastic so maybe there’s hope for a Goldeneye port too regardless of what Nintendo says!

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Add to this you’d have to (maybe?) factor in what Amazon would say, because they now own the James Bond I.P.?

Its tricky, but its a shame we never got a ‘pure’ Nightdive version!
