I really liked Kingdom Two Crowns even though it was a bit short for a base builder.
BLACKTAIL
It really sucked me in their world
From this year: BG3
From before this year: Dwarf Fortress
Just started this one but Afterimage is becoming a big favorite of mine. A really great Metroidvania game.
Older, but also played Frostpunk. It's a really great twist on a city building game. Highly recommended.
One odd ball I'll throw out is Last Case of Benedict Fox. It's a complete mess of a game, but the exploration and puzzles are a lot of fun. I never realized how much I want a metroidvania where you go around just solving puzzles. If LCBF just dropped all combat and focused on puzzle-solving it would have been a lot better.
Y'all gotta play The Finals. It's so much fuckin fun. I'd honestly been pretty bored with games until recently when it was released
The environmental destruction is what makes this game so amazing. There are so many ways to approach the enemy. The bank it mode is super fast paced and exciting to run in, grab the coins, and run away. Im enjoying creating different builds/classes and finding their effectiveness on the team. My friend group never plays FPS games but we are addicted to this one!
Counterpoint: that game was so boring, it briefly made me play OW2 again just for contrast.
Uh ok. You don't have to like it, dude 😅
Let me know what game you're currently enjoying, so I can shit all over it, if that's your thing
Haha, sorry. That'd be Avatar Frontiers of Pandora so no need, Ubisoft did all the shitting over it already.
I don't know Finals was just weird for me. Granted I played the demo they ran a few months ago, that was way before release, so I don't know what changed since then. But back then it had cool feel with the destruction but everything else felt very weightless and floaty and as a result the core gunplay felt discouraging. If hat makes sense.
But eh, different games for different people.
Crusader Kings III. I‘m scared to turn it on by now cause it always makes days disappear for me.
Replayed RDR2 on the PS5, most fun I've had with a game in a while.
How did you feel it was different from the first time around ? Ive been meaning to pay it a second time but haven't quite took the leap yet.
The first time I felt like I spent most of my time in cutscenes and figuring out what to do. The second time I just plowed through the main story and enjoyed the ride.
It's close between Baldurs Gate 3 and Nioh 2.
BG3 is just that good, but Nioh 2 is one of my all time favorites, and I finally cleared everything in the game, early 2023.
Guild Wars 2
Probably a toss up between Hi-Fi Rush, Doom Eternal, and Guilty Gear Strive. I suck at fighting games, but I love learning all the unique mechanics of the characters.
The one I've sunk the most hours in gotta be Overwatch. The one that sucked me in the quickest is Valheim
Demon Souls. Gadamn it's good...
For me it still has to be grim dawn. I play so many games and I get bored with all of them but grim Dawn has been very consistent. And the idea of a DLC coming out is phenomenal. The latest update also added a shit ton of quality of life changes that just make it even more fun to play.
Sludge Life. Was such a fun little world with a killer art style. Has some really funny moments in it. I saw there were achievements for different endings so I may go back to it at some point to and try for those. Oh and a cool OST to go along with it
Guild wars 2. I’ve loved the new expansion though it is short.
Stacklands.
Mechabellum
Vampire Survivors and its horde of clones
Death Stranding. Art and masterpiece imo
City Skylines 2
Generation zero
