Rimworld f.t.w.!
I would murder for a great mobile port of Rimworld.
Mods are what make rimworld great. Since they wouldn’t work on mobile, I don’t think it would have the same appeal as on PC.
You’ve got a good point.
Game must be for DOS with all those green flags
Knowing my luck it would turn out to be a PvP game.
Ghost of yotei
No Man’s Sky and Satisfactory keep me coming back. Cozy and itch scratching without being harassed for the latest microtransaction.
That said, if a game does have microtransactions without jamming them at my eyeholes, and I’m not missing anything without them, also acceptable.
90s games.
Escape from duckov
Just bought this. Really looking forward to diving in
This is me after modding out all the elements of Cyberpunk I hate.
Its weird, but Cyberpunk took such a while to grow on me because the gameplay near the start is super unfun because of how weak your starting weapons are and how spongy the enemies are.
Like if you play on the easier settings, the AI are just brain dead stupid, but at very hard, the enemies at first take forever to kill and its just a boring game of shooting, hiding behind cover and healing, waiting for your heals to recharge behind cover, and repeat.
The game basically only starts to truly be fun in my opinion in Act 2, which is kinda the majority of the game without any spoilers.

I will never meet Hanako at Embers
Atomfall was a bit of fun though. Clearly not a game of the year candidate but fun, no MTXs and the best difficulty settings I’ve ever seen. You get so many options to remove or add things that you find fun or don’t find fun.
Like, I realized I wanted to collect all of the [thing I don’t want to say for spoilers sake] so running out of breathe while running just became annoying because it was never a combat constraint in the first place, so it only served as a minor realism boost. Turned that off pretty quickly.
I just started playing wildmender from my backlog. Probably from a humble bumble.
Totally up my alley. Got my wife a copy and now we’re playing it together.
Sandbox survival with a storyline and quests
I felt this way with Baldur’s Gate 3.
100% I first 🏴☠️my way through bg3, then was like “bruh I genuinely wanna get the achievements this is so good wtf” and ended up buyin*on steam, but even was still so over satisfied that I sprung for the deluxe upgrade
My first thought was “I haven’t experienced this since Final Fantasy XII,” but you’re right.
Edit: wait, it says “story is great,” disregard my FFXII comment 😆
Add “completely free” to the list and you’ve got Enderal.
It says you need to own Skyrim to play it, not sure how that is “free”.
Same way any other free game is free, even when they come with a financial requirement. Every single free game on Steam requires a computer - the game is still free even if the computer isn’t.
If you pay for Skyrim, you pay for Skyrim… you can then get Enderal for free.
It’s a mod. That’s how mods work.
Full pitch in the linked comment.
Speaking of, @StringPotatoTheory@lemmy.world, did you ever get to dive in?
Enderal is absolutely goated. Wish I had finished it but I think other stuff came up or I had a soft lock or something. Either way I’m sure it’s patched and the 40ish hours I put it was 10/10.
Tempted to go back into it again
Either way I’m sure it’s patched
It’s come a long way, but ultimately it’s built using Skyrim’s blocks, so stability is definitely not its strong point.
Advice is to save frequently - not just quicksave, but a hard save that won’t get overridden. Soft locks do happen if just right thing fucks up, like a quest item clipping through the floor.
Also command console is your best friend.

And suddenly you notice you’re back in 1995
