I started playing Minecraft Oct. 2010, and despite what you think, it wasn’t a “grown up game” and a LOT of kids played back then as they do today.
Meanwhile, if you don’t like the state of affairs in gaming, make your own game or help someone make one, but don’t come here with a shitty attitude that nothing meets your expectations. Be the change you want to see.
FICSIT Productivity Packer Deluxe (Satisfactory). It’s a fun little game available at The HUB once it is fully upgraded. You take Tetris-like pieces and arrange them to fit within a square, completing as many squares as you can within the time limit to determine your score.
Then again, the real mini game in Satisfactory is the planning that goes into your factory while you are not playing the game. It’s the game that just keeps on giving.
I’d get Shadow of War, but after the shitshow that was Hogwarts Legacy, WB won’t get a single red cent from me. I still haven’t finished that fucking game because of graphical issues, numerous bugs/glitches I found and reported AND still haven’t been fixed, and a 65% corrupted game save file (that was the icing on the cake). It literally ruined the lore and magic of HP for me.
That being said: Shadow of Mordor was amazing. The Nemesis system is such a beautiful thing, it’s a shame they literally copyrighted it so that other devs (and probably other titles) couldn’t use it. I wish I was making this shit up.
Medieval Dynasty. The best way to describe it is a medieval crafting/survival game that later adds in building and town management. Your goal is to ensure your legacy by getting a wife and producing an heir. Honestly, this game is time consuming but quite relaxing (aside from aggressive animals and the occasional bandits). There’s plenty to do, such as hunting, gathering, fishing, farming, animal husbandry, tree felling, as well as building and decoration, managing villagers’ jobs and statuses, and building your dynasty. What’s more, they are currently in a closed beta testing multiplayer with a new map! Highly recommended!
