Game of the year nomination: Balatro!

Full game is 10 bucks, but so worth it!

tehmics,

Be careful if you value your time

Starrifier,

Best money I’ve ever spent on an app. When you break down how much time I’ve spent playing it, $10 is a steal.

Nothing will ever top the Modern Warfare 2 Infamy trailer.

Imagine it is 2009 and you have no idea what the future of COD looks like, no clue what is going to happen in MW2, and you see this trailer.

The only game I played that was released this year was the eldin ring dlc. Give me a couple years and I can tell you what the GOTY for 2024 was lol

FFVIII or Silent Hill

So Vampire Survivors has been dominating me for a month or two now, I really love it. Any recommendations?

I’d recommend Brotato. It’s the same game style, but with a simplistic map and more complex upgrade system. Also it’s only five bucks

MrScottyTay,

Brotato is free on epic right now

mutilated_sphincter,

Yeah, but screw Epic.

MrScottyTay,

A free game is a free game my dude

Cris16228,

You’re paying with your own data. Ye ye “steam does that too” or “everyone does that” but they have Chinese smoll pp backing them

SplashJackson,

Which data would that be, exactly?

MrScottyTay,

I’m not a fan of tencent it comes exactly but it’s not like the days they’re collecting is precious to me at all. If they think there’s value in a bunch of nonsense that only allows generalisations then I’m fine with that if I get something from it, like free games.

Cris16228,

You are part of the problem though… They’re ruining gaming on PC and you’re helping them by signing up to their site and actively collecting free games, did you know that?

MrScottyTay,

And valve are instead the saviour? I have no allegiances when it comes to platforms. I play all consoles and use all storefronts.

Out of all platforms I’ve had more grievances with steam lately when it comes to customer support and refunds.

Cris16228,

Valve made possible gaming on Linux for example. What about lil Tim? What did he do? Divided gamers on PC because he wanted a share in the PC gaming market

MrScottyTay,

I’m not discrediting valve for all the good they’ve done but they’re not holier then thou. And it’s not like I pick epic over steam. I buy on steam way more due to convenience, but I have to also be smart with money at times and just buy where it’s cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.

Also “dividing” the pc market is not a bad thing. Why would you want one company with a monopoly? They should have competition, it’s how we get good customer focused values in the products and services we use.

Cris16228,

Also “dividing” the pc market is not a bad thing. Why would you want one company with a monopoly? They should have competition, it’s how we get good customer focused values in the products and services we use.

Problem is: Lil Tim doesn’t offer anything good and “free games” are not enough. I wonder how many games you played from the ones you collected. Don’t answer, I don’t care.

and just buy where it’s cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.

You’re still part of the problem. You’re the reason why they can keep doing what they do

MrScottyTay,

If doing what they are doing is occasionally giving us cheaper games and making it so steam has to up their game on sales again then yeah, I’m glad to be part of that problem. You’re welcome.

Cris16228,

Don’t complain when you’ll lose access to your account and they basically tell you to fuck off because for “security reasons” they can’t recover it :)

RmDebArc_5,
@RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works avatar

Actually, the percentage of drm free games on Epic is pretty high, sometimes the same game will be drm free on epic and require drm on steam. Games that do require epics drm though can fuck off (especially since their is no offline mode). List

Cris16228,

Who cares? Fuck Epic

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

Went ahead and snagged it, thanks!

Knuk,

Deep rock galactic survivor is pretty fun

badabim,

Holocure is pretty great

Badland9085,

If you meant another Bullet Heaven, Halls of Torment is pretty good. It’s Bullet Heaven with a giant slather of Diablo gameplay-wise, without the build complexity.

Journey of the Broken Circle! Played this on switch and it deserves more attention.

A short, side scrolling platformer about connection and love.

wildflowertea,

First time I hear about this game!

You got me at connection and love. Definitely playing. Thank you!

Metro

It was released 5 years ago, but it’s still the best game I’ve played this (and every) year lol

squid_slime,

I ruined the game for myself, played the raytraced version which made everything so bright and lost its grittiness, throughout the play through I thought it was normal 😢

30p87,
@30p87@feddit.org avatar

I recently replaced my 1070 with a 7800 XT, and wanted to play the EE, which led to me replaying 2033 and LL first. The little bit I played with the EE version seemed pretty normal to me tbh.

squid_slime,

I’m on Linux so might of been that lol

30p87,
@30p87@feddit.org avatar

I’m on Linux too, with wayland. Maybe something with HDR breaking on the way?

squid_slime,

It was before HDR implementation like 2 years ago, bad drivers perhaps. Also go figure a fellow Linux gamer on Lemmy. What an awesome place.

30p87,
@30p87@feddit.org avatar

Most people here use Linux, but very few actually pull through with playing everything on it.

If something doesn’t run (good), it’s probably shit anyway.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s free to play with no ads but I would encourage you to support the creator (who is also the mod of the lemmy instance) if you can.

It’s a rouge like dungeon crawl. You’re going to die and start over a lot, but totally worth it when you win.

lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Seconded

A_Union_of_Kobolds,

It’s one of the few roguelikes that actually holds pretty close to the core of Rogue, too - completely turn-based, procedurally generated, with an emphasis on what you find rather than level-up abilities. Great game.

I should try the Cleric soon, I’ve just got so many other games rn…

Xbeam,

Cleric isn’t out yet but I’m looking forward to trying it.

I started Alan Wake 2, and man, I forgot how terrifying and fun it is. I'm having a blast. And since the last time I played, they added photo mode! I'm particularly proud of this shot of Mirror Peak. But idk if it's just me, but after having fairly recently played the first Alan Wake, this game feels like there's a lot less enemies? Especially when walking through the woods. Like a couple will pop up here and there, but a lot of the walking from one place to another is just... walking. Maybe I should have bumped the difficulty up to Hard lol. I've also already gotten through two of the Night Springs episodes, since they added them in game, which I thought was pretty cool. I'm really excited to get to the Lake House expansion.

Monument Valley & 2

Some of my top picks:

  • Slice and Dice: Rougelike dice based rpg with lots of replayability
  • Peglin: Rougelike pinballish game
  • Bad North: Real-time strategy game that plays well on the phone
  • Baba is you: Amazing puzzle game

All but slice and dice have pc versions (to my knowledge), but all of them play perfectly on the phone and are easy to play a round or two at a time.

clay_pidgin,

Agreed on Slice and Dice.

Here are a few that stuck in my mind throughout the years:

FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is a fantastic trailer but it’s almost cheating because Answers is such an unbelievable Uematsu banger that it carries it on music alone.

( ゚Д゚)But no one said we can’t cheat!
