I am having a little fever with Ultima Underworld/King's Field dungeon crawling, so I guess I am pulling the trigger on Monomyth and Lunacid xD

I've got a substantial existing backlog of owned games and am trying not to just jump on more things until I've worked through some of that.

Some things that I'd buy anyway:

  • If Kenshi 2 comes out anytime soon. My expectation is that that's years out.

  • If something like Caves of Qud comes out. I already have some roguelikes to play.

  • Additional good DLC for some games that I have been playing, like Starfield. The Rimworld DLC has been worthwhile.

  • If something like Steel Division 2 with Wargame: Red Dragon's modern setting came out. Steel Division 2 has reasonable game AI and good quality-of-life features, but I personally enjoy the newer setting of Wargame: Red Dragon. WARNO isn't that

it's much too fast-paced for me and has less unit variety, feels to me like mostly just directing a constant flood of units. Less of the intricate deck-building that characterized the earlier two titles.

  • If Fallout 5 came out anytime soon, which I am very confident will not happen.

EDIT: If someone successfully comes out with some game that can be plugged into a local LLM backend

it'll probably be a game in a new genre, simple ruleset run by the game with its own logic that an LLM is smart enough to reasonably play and generate text description for

I'd be interested in giving that a shot. There are some developers experimenting with that sort of thing, but I don't think that we're really there technically. Might not be possible to do this effectively with current LLMs.
