I did this with Death Stranding a few weeks ago, and was trying to decide whether to continue and not know what was going on or just play from the start. But I ended up finding a playthrough from a streamer I like on Youtube, so I just watched those to get caught up.

You could try the “Steam library filters” site someone created here: www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/

This lets you include or exclude tags, plus a bunch of other filter and sorting options.

Anyone else bounce around from game to game with no clue what to play?

Used to spend most of my days playing live service games that required a huge amount of time, or big AAA titles that are critically acclaimed. For example, Fallout 4/76, Battlefield 2042, rainbow six, World of Warcraft, RuneScape, Skyrim, Destiny 2, OverWatch… Basically any really big game that you would find on the top 20 of...

Try UFO 50, it’s got 50 games to bounce around between.

Love it, would recommend to anybody. It’s got so much variety, I think anyone could find a game or two they love. I’ve got almost 150 hours in it, mostly on Party House and Campanella 2, which I’ve cherried but keep coming back to.

It’s funny that you say there’s no challenge in space combat. I stopped playing after I got stuck on a space battle I couldn’t beat, even after looking for tips online.

Surprised this article didn’t mention Ludonarrative Dissonance, which this seems to be an example of.

Any good games that break the mold

It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing “Return of the Obra Dihn” and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I’m actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don’t coddle the player that...

It’s hard to beat Obra Dinn, but The Witness is another of my favorite puzzle games.

Edit: “hard to beat” meaning it’s a good game, not that it’s difficult (although it is in fact pretty difficult).

This comment is more effort than the person you’re responding to was going to put into the game.

It’s fun to fire up every now and then and check out what’s new. I mostly play indie games, deckbuilders, etc., so I don’t care about graphics so much.

I will say they did monetization right - free to play with absolutely no pay to win elements.

I second his recommendation of Life Where I’m From’s video about Japanese zoning.

I’d also recommend a book I checked out from the library recently, Emergent Tokyo, which goes into a lot of the same subjects and has some great insights.

A couple that I like:

  • 80 Days - it’s not free but I think it’s worth it. It’s a sort of steampunk version of Around the World in 80 Days where you have to plan your routes, and buy and sell things in different cities to make money. The main gameplay is sort of choose-your-own-adventure events that happen during travel and in different cities.
  • Card Thief - I just started playing this recently. It does technically have a microtransaction but it’s more like, they let you play for free if you don’t mind waiting for chests to unlock, or you can buy the game to bypass this. The main gameplay is sneaking through dungeons represented by a 3x3 grid of cards randomly drawn from the deck; collecting treasures and avoiding getting caught.

Tempest? Or the original Star Wars game?

America + Oil = War

I saw it coming but it still made me laugh.

I know this is an old post, but to answer the last question - to become a mod of an abandoned community, you generally need to message an instance administrator (in this case, @tedvdb) and request to be added as a mod.

In Super Mario Bros 2 you use a slot machine to get extra lives at the end of each level - I hope they’ve banned that game too.
