Ooh I didn't know about the peaceful servers. Might have to revisit that soon :)

Wow... 1987! Shows that fun isn't necessarily about high end gfx :)

Novamdomum, 8 days ago

Ooh that looks really interesting. Feels a bit like a single player Sea of Thieves maybe? Also 50% off right now on Steam... nice.

Novamdomum, 8 days ago

Really appreciate the effort you put in your reply :) Thanks, lots to look at!

Ooh Coral Island sounds interesting... Wishlisted! Thanks :)

Just nabbed Salt 2 and it's so good already and I've only just started! I love how colourful everything is. Also, I made the mistake of going for a wander on the first island too late in the day without realising how DARK night times get. Fumbled my way to the nearest beach and managed to spawn my little raft and just about navigate back to camp. Thanks for the recommendation. I can see this is going to claim many, many hours of my life already 🤣

Wow that's exciting! Huge fan of Bannerlord anyway. Wishlisted and looking forward to June :)

"In a world where every breath you take might just be your last"...... oh dear.

I love to applaud creative ideas but this just looks like a shopping list of cliches.

Yet another post apocalyptic setting "Do you remember the forests?" ✅
Co-op in spacesuits ✅
Same goals as in a million other games "Build, research, survive, scavenge" ✅
Giant mutant bugs ✅
Writing cringe-fest: "Up here, we don't let the past become our prison" ✅

Just doesn't look fun at all. Hard pass.

Played the hell out of DE and I agree! :D

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

Very old and yes I have (when they came out in fact 🤣)

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

Ooh it wasn't but I like the look of that one! the 2D representing a 3D world thing is really interesting.

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

I'd forgotten I already have that one from ages ago. I'll have another look at it thanks :)

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

I could never get on with Minesweeper. I bet it's something to do with my ADHD and Discalculia.

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

played hundreds of hours of both lol

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

Ooh thanks :)

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

That looks amazing! Wishlisted :) I love the mechanic of intentionally blowing yourself out into space to escape an imminently exploding ship and then remote controlling your own ship to then rescue you lol

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

Oh I like that one, it's like a really colourful version of Power to the People.

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

I'm not really into manic shooters but I do enjoy watching other people play them.

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

This one feels a bit more like Risk in space and I never got on with Risk, or in fact any of the Civ series of games, which this also reminds me of a bit. I sort of meant top down in the Desperadoes 3 style but I'm totally open to other ideas :)

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

I enjoy watching people play manic shooters more than playing them myself. I just get overwhelmed really quickly by them.

Novamdomum, 11 days ago

Wow, that looks amazing! and 85% off on Steam... Think I'll grab that right now :)

Novamdomum, 10 days ago (edited 10 days ago)

Thank you so much to everyone who commented with suggestions! Some really surprising ones in there too that I'm very much looking forwards to playing soon. So far thanks to this post I've grabbed Heat Signature as well as Shady Part of Me and I'm replaying Dysmantle. I've also wishlisted Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal and will nab that the minute it goes on sale.

Edit: Ooh and I'm also looking forward to the release of Outworld Station on Tuesday. That looks like a really interesting top down, space station factory automation game :)

Novamdomum, 12 days ago

The last two point and click games I've enjoyed were the Deponia series and the Book of Unwritten Tales. Both really good, challenging and fun :)

Novamdomum, 1 month ago

Like me! :) I've been having lots of fun with it. The AI is so much better and the car handling as well. Didn't realise till last night there's a massive collision like derby tucked away in one of the speedway modes. That was fun. Can't wait for more content to drop.

I quickly read through the article to check if anyone at Ubisoft Montreal or Quebec were being laid off... Assassin's Creed Odyssey was one of the most amazing games I've ever played. Those devs are bloody brilliant. Luckily it seems not.

Novamdomum, 3 months ago

I hung around their Discord for ages and the pace of development seemed glacial. It's not that I don't think it will ever come out but it's definitely going to be a while. Gave up following after a few months. Love the aesthetic though and I really hope this one doesn't fizzle out like other titles in my wish list (Road Diner Simulator, B-17 Squadron, Solarpunk, Kerbal Space Program 2 etc.)

I think the thing that's the most confusing about this is why did they wait??

"The timing is particularly baffling: Nintendo did not strike when the iron was hot and everyone was talking about Palworld and Pokémon, and at this late date, why bother? The greatest heights of Palworld's success were clearly driven by the memetic catchiness of its Pokémon parody, now it's just another survival crafting game with a stable enough core community⁠—see also Valheim or Sons of the Forest. Palword has faded into the background, a brief curiosity overshadowed by 2024's far more enduring megahit, Helldivers 2. Just in time for everyone to have largely forgotten about Palworld and moved on, Nintendo has swooped in to announce: "In case you've forgotten, they're the little guy, and we are huge, awful bullies."

Palworld has reportedly made nearly $500 million now (source - Simon Carless). Even if Nintendo win in some way won't it cost them so much more to take Pocket Pair down now?

I really, really wanted to like this game. I love the look and feel of it so much but I just needed a clearer bit of hand holding to figure out what I was supposed to do. It's so open ended and I could never really tell if I was on the right track. I love the idea of crawling through vents, interrogating people, sneaking about and putting together pieces of evidence but it was just too overwhelming for me. I wish there was a guide that just explained simply how you're supposed to play but I haven't found one yet.

Novamdomum, 6 months ago

Thanks for that. I might give it another go. I have ADHD and I wonder if that also doesn't help because remembering a lot of names and details is hard for me. My short term memory is really only reliable until I see any random shiny thing. I tried using the evidence board to track literally everything I saw but it quickly became way too ovewhelming. I'll give it another go though I think.
