I don’t have too much time to play because of parental duties but every second I have goes to this game now. Looking forward to the next time I can sit down and play a map, solving the puzzle, gaining some resources for meta progression. It is so good.
This. Haven’t got around to play the other games in the series yet even though I loved the first one.
My kid is 17 months and gets bored when nothing happens with his unplugged controller and goes for whatever else is nearby.
Gotta survive the biters!
Dwarf fortress, Factorio and Transport tycoon deluxe (or open ttd).
As someone who doesn’t have too much time any more because of family it is the total opposite for me. If I would play and die I would just stop. Back in the days I always played hardcore but now I don’t see the point in seeing your time spent just evaporate into northing but memories. I do usually try to get as far as possible without dying so I play as if I would play hardcore but without the deletion stuff if I would die.
With that said I know that it is much more interesting to play hardcore for some people and they can’t see the fun in playing without the extra challenge of never dying.
Game is recommended to 18+ and here we are with 10 year olds killing in the game. Alright.
They usually give a lot of free stuff at the same patch even if you don’t buy the dlc.
You can enjoy it 100% solo. The only place you see others that you never have to interact with is the hub. There is nothing in the game that force you to do anything with others or even suggest that it is multiplayer except some skills that mention allies (but works on yourself too). If that is too much I don’t think the game is for you anyway.
There is Wargroove. And it’s sequel is coming soon (or already released?).
If you want a larger game like Across the Obelisk but less meta progress and more RPG themed I would vouch for Gordian Quest. Haven’t played it too much myself but it is pretty neat. Played more Across the Obelisk because of multiplayer and my friends are into it.
I just stopped buying main stream games for the most part. Indie games is where it is at. Often better gameplay loop and comes at a better price and I would rather see my money going to creative people instead of some greedy CEO.
Live service is a no from me.
This. I come to this type of place to read about games and memes but more than 50% seem to be about politics or irl news. Getting tiresome.
I had to uninstall all other games to play baldurs gate back in the days. Running the game without ever needing to switch CDs. Was worth it.
And even today there are no other games that do PvP as well as DAoC did. I am playing guild wars 2 and that is as close an experience as I have found in any newer mmo.
