When you’re saying “real world” you mean mobile devices where your actual position dictates your position in the game world, right?
I really like the idea of these. Ingress started out cool, but didn’t hold my interest. I think the actual play loop kinda sucked, but it built up a decent community around the novelty.
This kind of thing really turned me off adventure games. I’m here to have fun, not reverse engineer what some dude thought was the solution to some random problem.
I really like TTRPGs because I can try literally anything and the GM will adjudicate on it. Computer based puzzlers feel very constrained because it always seems like there’s a right answer and I don’t know what it is.
Caltech researchers have found evidence of a giant planet tracing a bizarre, highly elongated orbit in the outer solar system. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at...
Following an assessment by a psychiatrist, however, the judge in the case determined that Kurtaj was unfit to stand trial, and so the jury was asked only to determine if he had actually committed the hacks, but not whether it was done with criminal intent.

I play Fortnite with my kid and some friends. We’ve configured comms so he can only chat with approved friends from RL.
Fortnite has a reputation for getting kids to buy cosmetics, but it isn’t justified. We’ve been playing for a year or so and my guy hasn’t asked to buy anything.
It’s very approachable, so your kid may be able to convince his friends to play too.
It isn’t low-g, you have a jetpack. If you hit the ground at the right angle, you “ski”, building up speed. It’s a CTF game, so cappers try to hit the enemy flag stand at ludicrous speeds and then find a route back to their base.
It’s the first FPS I played that had the notion of a generator. Each base has a generator that powers turrets, sensors, force fields (that might be a mod), and inventory stations.
In theory a team has to work together to take down the enemy’s generator so they can get to the flag stand. In practice nobody gives a shit after the generator is destroyed so most games end up as running battles around the flag carrier.
It’s not a bad series, but the official map builders never seemed to get the balance between base maintenance and flag control right.
I’m pretty sure the generator was part of the stock game, because it powered sensors (which the commander needed), inventory stations, and base turrets. All three of those were part of the base game, IIRC.
The shifter mod added a lot. I think it might have added force fields.
I really liked parts of Ascend, but the game never really came together for me. It felt like they were focused on the high speed esport angle, but I was looking for the base assault/defense plays.
Lords Of The Realm 2 is my gaming equivalent of comfort food. It might not have awards or hype buzzing around it, but it is always the perfect choice for a rainy day when I’m feeling restless. I’ve played and replayed it many times. Currently I own it on Steam....
