Does Terraria count? If so, Terraria.

DdCno1,

I have owned this game for ages, I think I bought it shortly after its release, but despite having a clear memory of playing it, it was so long ago that Steam doesn’t even tell me when I last launched it.

Perhaps I should give it another go.

You should! The beginning may be a bit slow, but before long you’ll be building sweet bases or exploring the underground or doing whatever you like, really. It also has a ridiculous amount of content with even more to come next year, apparently. Also, no hunger/thirst mechanics! Like yourself, I don’t like 'em. Terraria has HP and MP, that’s it.

l0st_scr1b3,

I bought Terraria a few months ago while I was buying some other games on sale and it’s legit all I’ve been playing. I absolutely love this game for the depth of he crafting system and the cosmic horror themed bosses and setting. Really just the whole thing is so well crafted.

Valheim.

Great and fun combat, mod support, multiplayer, good building mechanics, doesn’t feel frustrating to play.

aksdb,

I can second that. Valheim has a very neat balance between exploring, fighting and building. If you don’t progress to quick, even your base is relatively safe. Although I now have turned off raids completely. So my base is always safe and if I want action, I can venture out into the world. I like that.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Raids are fun but the need of moats is kinda annoying. I’d rather have more difficult raids but without raids destroying my BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS GOD DAMMIT.

Hmm I wonder if there is a mod to make moat building easier. Or just nuke troll raids, that exists I’m sure.

Do you include walls in "moats"?

AnonStoleMyPants,

Not really. Walls get destroyed easily, you still need a moat to keep trolls away.

@HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social avatar

I've only ever used walls, honestly, just a palisade a decent distance off from anything I like, with places to arch from.

agegamon,

Earthen walls are also effective at keeping our trolls, though obviously then you have an earthen wall to stare at so it may not be what you want…

DdCno1,

I should have mentioned this game. Definitely a great title and the building, while a bit clunky, is a lot of fun.

Cuttlersan,

And don’t forget you can play the whole thing in VR with the VHVR mod! I’ve played 330+ hours over 3 runs with my friends in VR, beating the Queen while panicking into repeated freefalls into pit (thank you feather cloak) was an insane experience (Yag too TBF; out of our 3 person group everybody died at least once, and several times the lone survivor was stuck doing laps with hordes of Fulings and a few berserkers and shamans in the parade until the others sprinted back from their beds.) Blessings to corpse run lmao

noyesster,

Valheim is the only survival crafting game that I play to relax. Just log in, listen to the music and the ambient sounds and just chill. Idk why, but the rain and weather effects really relax me

Project Zomboid! I love the building your base aspect and you can definitely turn a lot of things off if you don’t like them.

obywatelle, do zapytajszmer w Czeskie piwa - brak kaucji za butelki
@obywatelle@szmer.info avatar

Większość sprzedaży na świecie należy obecnie do jednego koncernu piwnego z USA - AnnheiserBush Inbev (firma powstała z fuzji dwóch megakorp). To firma kontrolująca ponad ponad połowę rynku, mająca marki typu Bud, niemieckie Leffe, niektóre czeskie też (jest tego masa). Drugim takim podmiotem do 2016 był SABMiller, do którego należała masa znanych nam marek. Ale po tym, jak SABMiller też został wykupiony przez AB InBev, sprzedano jego europejskie marki właśnie Asahi.

Do Asahi należy cała Kompania Piwowarska (Tyskie, Lech, Pilsner Urquell itp), a także Grolsch, Peroni i takie tam. Więc tutaj mamy powiedzmy że rozdrobnienie. Ale ono wynikało tylko z tego, że SABMiller musiał się pozbyć tych marek, żeby zachować odpowiednią RENTOWNOŚĆ potrzebną dla fuzji z gigantem.

Drugim największym światowym koncernem jest teraz Heineken Group, do którego należy w Polsce cala Grupa Żywiec. Heineken kupił sporo starych europejskich browarów “z tradycjami” (chorwacka Karlovačka Pivovara, Royal Brewery z Manchesteru, Browar Ateński czy Browar Zamkowy w Cieszynie) którym pozwalała kiedyś warzyć pod swoimi markami i etykietami, często nawet z użyciem klasycznych receptur, albo przynajmniej w nawiązaniu do nich. Kiedyś, bo na przykładzie browaru w Cieszynie widać, że to był klasyczny heritage washing, jeśli można wymyślić takie określenie. Grupa Żywiec importuje również na krajowy rynek piwa czeskie i niemieckie. Jakiś czas temu kupili też browar w Namysłowie i Braniewie (też znane regionalne marki piwa niepasteryzowanego, obecnie praktycznie wycofane i zastąpione eurolagerem).

Większość segmentu taniego lagera w Polsce obsługuje (poza KP) Carlsberg Group Polska, spółka-córka duńskiego Carlsberga. Do nich należą Bosman, Harnaś, Kasztelan, Okocim, Piast, Karmi, Sommersby i nie tylko. Do duńskiego Carslberga należy też np. browar w Żatecu w Czechach i piwo Żateckie. Mają mocno rozwinięty segment piw smakowych, od nich pochodzi np. słynne Garage (warzone w browarze Baltika w Petersburgu od 2014 - no comment xD).

Prey

It has a good storyline. It’s not horror focused, and ennemies won’t suprise as much as in resident evil or doom. They’re mostly there to add difficulty or be part to the mission. Recycling makes the low amount of munitions/inventory tolerable.

DdCno1,

Huh, I never saw the Prey reboot as a survival game. I thought it was more of an immersive sim, but then again, genre definitions can be quite fluid and a game can belong to multiple genres.

Hirom,

That may be stretching the definition of the survival genre a bit, but the game does have some survival characteristics.

Anyway that’s the closest thing to a survival game that I enjoyed playing.

I can’t actually think of anything off the top of my head. After I stopped buying AAA titles from the obvious scummy companies, pretty much everything has been at least as good as expected.

jettrscga, (edited ) do games w What were the best and worst games you played in 2023?

Best:

  • Baldur’s Gate 3
  • Against the Storm
  • Dave the Diver
  • Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew - I usually hate tactical strategy games, but this one’s good. The quicksave/reload feature makes it pretty fun to experiment and goof around.
  • Dead Cells (I’m behind)
  • Grounded
  • Tears of the Kingdom

Mediocre

  • Dredge - It was a unique experience, but I never really understood the fear/consequences despite fully finishing it.
  • Armored Core 6 - The balance in this series always ruins them, even though I try to love them every time. Being forced into a specific build takes the fun out of customization.

I guess I avoided the worst games this year!

BeaverDonut, do games w What were the best and worst games you played in 2023?

I played a bunch of the new releases and some older indies.

Best (in no particular order)

  1. Tears of the kingdom - Game was very good. I can’t imagine going back and playing breath if the wild after this, it improves on pretty much all the gameplay in that game.
  2. Armored Core 6 - This was very fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I played through it 4 times to get all the endings (i messed up a choice when trying to get the third ending and had to play through a fourth time).
  3. Starfield - This was really fun for awhile when it originally released. It has some issues, but I really like it.
  4. Factorio - I got super into this during this summer. It’s the best factory game.
  5. Sanabi - Indie released last month. It’s incredibly fun with a touching story. It’s an action platformer where you swing around the levels with a chain arm.
  6. Omori - As a game this is just alright, but it has probably the saddest plot of any game I’ve played.
  7. Signalis - Survival horror indie game that’s like resident evil crossed with dead space, complete with cool eldritch horror vibes.
  8. Library of Ruina - Intense deckbuilding game with an interesting setting. There are a lot of strategies to build decks around that are super viable.
  9. Cassette Beasts - Fantastic indie Pokemon type game that is miles better than anything gamefreak has pushed out lately. Has interesting battle mechanics, a great soundtrack, and a cool throwback art style.

Worst

  1. Shadow of war - couldn’t get into it. I played the first one when it released, but I just couldn’t get into this one.
  2. Spelunky - I got this one in a bundle a long time ago and decided to boot it up. I couldn’t really get into it and only did a few runs.
  3. Spyro Trilogy - I don’t know why I finished the first two. I don’t think Spyro’s gameplay has aged super well.
  4. Outward - I want to get into this, but the game is frustratingly difficult. I feel like if I play it some more I’ll get it and it’ll be fun, but I don’t like playing to get to that point.
GissaMittJobb,

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Spelunky! I guess it takes a special kind of masochist to enjoy it, but Spelunky 1 and 2 are two of my all-time favorite games, having put several hundred hours into both.

The difficulty makes the wins feel extremely satisfying to me.

    The Division 2. Also has raids. Just prepare for some bullet sponge.

    Poopfeast420, (edited ) do gaming w How many stinkers did you play this year?

    I played a few games that were just really mediocre.

    • Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor was a super boring ARPG and I couldn’t put in more than a few hours. The levels were super short and just corridors.
    • Pathfinder: Kingmaker started out ok, but was just far too long, terribly paced, and the last third was a complete slog. This was probably the one I’d call a “stinker” the most.
    • Crisis Core Remake (FF7 spin off) had a boring story and lame characters. The bulk of the “content” were 300 side missions that were usually less than five minutes long in one of like six stages. I picked it up after I enjoyed the FF7 Remake far more than I thought, but this game adds nothing to the overall story. To be fair to the game though, I did complete all 300 side stories, because from time to time I like a mindless grind.
    • I’m continuing my four-year-old save of Octopath Traveler, where I got a third or so in. I dunno if it’s the Steam Deck, but there’s just tons of aliasing, shifting sprites and flickering, it just looks bad, and the detailed enemy sprites were the only thing I really liked about the game in the first place. Combat is also a slog at times, so I don’t know if I have it in me to finish the game.
    Ashtear, do games w What were the best and worst games you played in 2023?

    Baldur’s Gate 3 was the best I played this year. There might be recency bias, but I genuinely think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. Persona 5 Royal isn’t super far behind, was also great.

    Worst game I finished was Starfield. Did not see that coming. Worst overall was Vambrace: Cold Soul. Incredibly gorgeous game with a complete disaster of a core gameplay loop.

    I thought the forest was quite fun. Idk what it was about it. I want to try sons of the forest. Haven’t loved the others I tried though

    DdCno1,

    I like how they call the peaceful mode without enemies “Vegan Mode”. That’s the kind of humor I can get behind.

    dutchkimble, do games w What were the best and worst games you played in 2023?

    Best: Just Cause 4

    Worst: Returnal

    jettrscga,

    What did you not like about Returnal? I haven’t looked into it much beyond the trailer, but was considering trying it out.

    dutchkimble,

    After some plays it got frustrating when you’re going along fine but a massive monster spawns right next to you and kills you with one hit before you have time to react

    Rule 1: don’t dig straight down.

    Rule 2: the first night must always be hiding in a dirt hole.

    CubitOom,

    I like to build a dirt structure with an open block window pointing to the sun so I know when it’s safe to come out. Assuming I can’t find sheep.

    Making a tree house is nice too.
