In general anything with crafting and/or excessive loot. I find it very boring and especially when a game is advertised as “survival” when in reality it is just a crafting game with no real threat.

Subnautica is almost an outlier to the rule but the ocean triggers a phobia so I can’t play it. The Long Dark is probably the best example of a survival game with crafting that I do really like.

It looks good but could do with more speed!

Some games that have stuck with me over the years. Not quite masterpieces but in my opinion are great games that don’t get enough recognition.

• Devil Dice, puzzle game for the PS1.
• Hotel Dusk Room 215, adventure game for the Nintendo DS.
• Red Steel & Red Steel 2, Wii games that used the motion controls. RS2 was especially fun and absolutely nailed the controls with the motion+ upgrade.

I had some good times with FH2 and I’ve just seen it is still getting updates over on MODDB. It still looks amazing.

I haven’t played the first game for a long long time so I might be off on that one but RS2 was everything the Wii was supposed to be.

It will be because of the “First Run” deal that Epic offers, so you’ll get to play in 6 months. I don’t blame the studio for doing it though but it’s not ideal for some.

I tend to agree.

Every storefront is DRM, some better than others, and people shouldn’t get so tied to a specific one. PC gaming is so open and getting angry at this is pointless.

The game has changed a lot but also you might have too.

Football Manager 2024

I wouldn’t even call myself a football fan but the management part if very fun. Currently in the 6th tier and working on promotion.

Circuit Superstars

I bought the Switch Version so I can just pick up and play whenever and so far it is very good. It’s a nice mix of arcade racing with some realistic parts like pit stops and tyre wear. Hopefully online racing is still populated so I can give that a go.

I can’t think of any memorable “hacking” type ones as they all just become a chore by the end. Fable II has some wood chopping, pie making and lute playing that wasn’t so bad if you can get a high multiplier going.

As for actual “games within a game” then Shenmue series has many gambling and arcade machines. Roll it On Top, Lucky Hit, Darts and then Arterburner, Space Barrier, Outrun and Hang On.

I think if console is your way of gaming then upgrading to a PS4 or XBSX is alright.

Personally I only bought an XSS because it was relatively cheap last year (plus Gamepass with the £1 upgrade offer) but I’m done with future consoles now. PC gaming doesn’t have to expensive so that’s the way forward for myself.

TWOM is so good. What you say about things going bad fast is very true and the repercussions of something minor are real.

Squad

I play for a few hours most nights but I will say that the devs come across as so inept it is equally fun & frustrating. When the teamwork just naturally works there is nothing that can beat it but the amount of bugs and performance issues majorly let it done.

I remember playing the demo and being disappointed it was just a puzzle game, albeit a good looking one.

I didn’t buy them this year but

• Software Inc, management game
• Ostriv, 18th century city building game
• Off-road Mania, 4x4 trials game

There are issues with every platform so all anyone can do is make their own decisions.

GOG Galaxy let’s you combine most of your game library in to one but it has it’s issues. GOG, Epic and Microsoft Store all work great but the other clients aren’t officially supported.

Yeah I was a bit vague with that comment. I guess whenever this topic comes up it, at least to me, feels like most of the comments are I’ll informed.

This is to be expected and don’t let it turn you off using Galaxy. Once set up you can automatically launch (and close) the game and client from here without seeing the other apps.

It does work with Steam, Ubisoft etc but the login will expire every week and need reconnecting.

Nobody should be surprised and everyone who bought this shit should honestly be thankful they are getting their money back.

I wouldn’t read too much in to review scores and critics.

Squad, it’s an even split between gameplay/socialising but it’s good fun either way.

F1 Manager 2023, my interest in the real sport has completely disappeared over the last few years but I like management games and it’s doing a decent job.

Jusant, recently added to gamepass and so far I’m really enjoying everything about it. The gameplay, art style, lore and mystery are all excellent.

Titanfall 2, decided to replay the campaign but the spider bomb machine things trigger my phobia so taking a break with the games mentioned above. Such an amazing game even with my issues!

B0NK3RS, 8 miesięcy temu

All good choices but I say go back and finish God of War first.

B0NK3RS, 9 miesięcy temu

Jusant is top of my list.

I remember Quantum Break being really good but then getting quite difficult late on. Also it would have been great to play it with an S/X update.

Now that Spiritfarer is back on Gamepass I want to give it a second go.

Yeah it’s been great building up a GWG library, especially the 360 games, but you’re right that most of the time it’s been underwhelming. For me this change is good.

My wife plays The Sims games so I have a passing interest and it’s already heavy on DLC so I can almost guarantee how insane 5 will be!
