Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

>>38141

Timberborn. 8.5/10. A very solid resource management, settlement builder & terraforming game. There some small things I think need to be changed for balance a tiny bit more realism, but the game is technical still in alpha and otherwise great.

Currently playing UFO 50. Finished a couple of games already, but I'm definitely not beating all of them. So far it seems like a good compilation, I'll need to play more to see if there are more interesting games than boring.

I'm playing dragon age veilguard and I'll give it a 7/10. Pros: I like this new 3rd person perspective with soulslike gameplay. I think there is less grinding and the level design is pretty intuitive. The voice acting is pretty in point. I like the attention to detail where there are very few useless area, and I like the way previous characters are brought back. Cons: I don't agree with any of the reactionary bullshit criticism like the fact that there are non binary options, which I think are cool. My issue is that the writing feels lazy like a Saturday morning cartoon. Take for example the halfling Hardy your get as a companion. Without spoilers, a major discovery turns out to just be a mission or two of anger management and that's it? Or another companion whose only motivation seems to be to rescue her brother or tinker with a computer. I don't think most characters have a major foil. I'm struggling to finish the game because it feels so predictable.

>>38169
How would you rate DA 1 and 2

I just played SuperTuxKart for the first time since 2011 and 10/10 because someone made an Alunya addon

>>38159
I saw that and it looks cool (also I like furries), but I usually try not to play EA games, I'll try keep waiting.

>>38222
Ah I remember that from years ago!

Anyways, I played HOI4 with the TFR mod, see other thread.

I'm also watching my friend play Silent Hill 2 remake, honestly the game seems pretty boring. Maybe it's faithful to the original but seems pretty lame TBH.

>>38239
Best Silent Hill is 3, the sound design in that game is on another level

total war pharaoh, only got it after the dynasty update so idk how shit it was before but im enjoying it now

Boiling Point: Road To Hell. I would best describe it as a cross between Stalker and Far Cry. Hard to rate objectively, its a janky mess held together with ducktape (quite stable though, havent crashed on me yet), but just as Stalker, ambitious and unique. Takes place in a fictional South American country (or Bolivia, im kind of confused by that), whacky non-serious tone full of racial caricatures, you do missions for various factions (government, guerrillas, mafia, bandits, CIA, indians) to earn money to pay for information to find your daughter.

>>38293
Damn I remember that game. Good times. For some reason the bit I remember most is some guy talking about the noosphere.

Also the voice acting in the sequel is hilarious

I've been playing Norland after being on a Victoria 3 kick for awhile.

I don't like when these roguelikey or whatever you call it kinda games that ask you to make million decisions about how the gameplay should be when you're just starting it. Well there is a tutorial "campaign" if you'd call it, kinda like how they do it in Paradox games. Then when you start game it just shoves like a million options in your face, so I went with "normal" which said it was the way the game was meant to be played, and easy makes the enemy AI not attack you so much. Well on normal they fucking just coming at. So far on my like 4th or 5th time starting over, and I can't really keep enough army to properly defend against bandit attacks, or if I do, then I go broke. On my current playthrough I just accepted vassalization and the king has been sending me adequate armies to defend me. Most of the game is Victoria/factorio economic management and supply chain management type stuff, then they also mix in a lot of sims elements, which feel mostly like a distraction and a chore tbh, but then again I feel the same way about Chivalry, bombarding me with stupid life events when I'm trying to manage some complex war.

I don't really know what the end game is supposed to look like, but from what I see, it seems like you just end up depleting all your resources. The mines, then the trees(each tree resource is a doodad on the map that gets felled like in the Warcraft and they don't look like they grow back.)

I think I've played enough of UFO 50 to write something about it. It's worth buying if you are into simple indie games, because it's pretty likely it will make you try games from the genres you don't normally play. As far as individual games from it go, I would say only Mini & Max feels like something that would be worth spending money on if it was a standalone game.
But it's definitely better than the sum of its parts, I finished 10+ games out of these 50 and I haven't tried all of them, there are about 10 left, maybe I'll go back to it one day.

Fallout 76
Hell Let Loose

Played Tunic, fun at first but these puzzles and backtracking just get tedious, here is the dpad button combo you have to input for one of them

Up, Left, Down, Left, Up, Left, Down, Left, Up, Right, Up, Right, Up, Left, Up, Right, Down, Right, Up, Left, Up, Left, Up, Right, Up, Left, Down, Left, Up, Right, Up, Up, Left, Up, Right, Down, Right, Down, Right, Up, Right, Down, Left, Down, Right, Up, Right, Right, Down, Right, Up, Right, Down, Right, Up, Right, Right, Down, Left, Down, Left, Down, Right, Down, Right, Down, Left, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Down, Right, Up, Right, Down, Right, Up, Right, Right, Down, Down, Left, Up, Right, Up, Left, Down, Left, Up, Left, Up, Left, Up, Right, Right, Up, Left, Up

and you are supposed to figure that out from a hand-drawn map taken from the whole manual, where you could easily make a mistake, cmon man

5/10 don't play it unless you like puzzles

>>38420
I thought about playing a furry Sims 4 game with sex mods and so on but there was so many mods I would need to troubleshoot and install and stuff it just didn't seem worth it, I really wish compilation mods were more of a thing where you only need to grab one thing

>>38422
Fair, but I prefer furry all the time so I can live out my dreams of living in a cute furry college town and scoring ass

I've been playing satisfactory. Probably some fallout 76 since there's a new update, but probably not since I'm way too depressed to even move tbh

>>38141
Playing Galacticare, it's sadly been seemingly abandoned by the devs so there's some bugs, but overall fun game, I like the cute aliens and so on, and it has the Tails voice actor playing a cute robot, and has Matt Berry doing his voice from Darkplace as one of the antagonists which makes me laugh. Well anyways it's on Game Pass so you could check it out if you have that. It's a theme hospital (I guess two point hospital now) clone but in space.

8/10

NBA 2K25 is pretty good gameplay wise. First one worth getting on PC in forever since it's "next-gen". Haven't played online yet but even just from traversing the world it seems like the hacking is alot less blatant. In 2K24 you'd see 10 foot tall 20 foot wingspans dudes standing around with names that advertise their discords where you could get the hacks. Unfortunately it's micro-transactions would make F2P games blush. If you're not willing to pay $100+ per build it's a MMO-esque grind before your stats are even halfway decent. I'd give it an 8/10 for being fun and an improvement over its predecessors even tho the devs are greedy cunts. It's the only basketball game around so can't be too picky
Starting to play Teamfight Tactics as well. Fun little auto-chess game set in the League of Legends universe. Was climbing the ranks pretty effortlessly before getting hardstuck in platinum. Not sure what the competition is like, wouldn't surprise me if I just like it because I'm an ex-LOL player and that there are better alternatives available but I'll give it a 7/10

Stardew Valley

normie uni friends told me it made me an egirl :/

About to get back into Manor Lords with the new update. It’s fun and cozy but starts to get a little boring once you get yourself established and are able to stand up to the Baron. It’s really solid but clearly unfinished and lacking content. Idk how people manage to get their towns up to like 500 families because I always get bored before then.

Playing kill knight here and there, pretty fun game. Kinda like a twinstick doom eternal. Most of my playtime so far was spent on the first level which I got the hang of after 3-4 attempts and only played it more and more to get a feel for the game. Attempted the 2nd level recently and there's way more enemies thrown at you that makes me glad I spent all that time on the 1st level because I don't think I'd make it past the 2nd or 3rd section of it otherwise. Wish the hardest difficulty was unlocked from the start but I can settle for the one below it.

This one looks pretty interesting. I've been looking for some twin stick shooters, there is not that many these days it seems. Thanks comrade

I got Darktide a week ago. Its not bad. I played it 2 years ago maybe when I had gamepass on pc and it was not good. Its improved quite a lot. The gameplay is decent. Worth it if you get it on sale for like 10 or something.

File: 1739622452567.jpg (522.87 KB, 1600x900, Spellforce-3_4.jpg)

I have been playing SpellForce 3. Also briefly tried its expansion, Soul Harvest. Havent finished either though. Really pity there arent more RTS/RPG hybrids out there. SpellForce 3 gets fun during the strategy sections, balancing issues aside, but most of the play time is spend as a very shallow party-based RPG. There are almost no decisions to be made, and handful you can make have no impact on anything, not much in terms of buildcrafting either, plus constant tedious and unchallenging dungeoncrawling. Still, I would recommend anyone to try it, it is unique enough that it might strike your fancy.

Playing Dragon Age Origins for the first time and it's been fun, I'm glad I'm getting around to it after buying it over a decade ago.

cs1.6 for ever and ever
only game for a red

File: 1740283130303.webp (974.05 KB, 1920x1080, pirate yakuza a2.webp)

I just got the new rrg Pirate Yakuza
Very good so far. I got 6 hours so far and Im in chapter 2, just roaming around. Combat is fun and I have a lot to unlock still

Picked up Project Zomboid last week on sale and holy shit I’m hooked. I could never get into other survival sandbox games like Day Z or STALKER Anomaly, but this one has the perfect blend of realism and fun to make it really addicting. It’s complex enough that it requires decent thought and careful planning, but simple enough to be intuitive. I also love the wide range of customization options in sandbox mode, it let’s you simulate different scenarios and creates a ton of replay value. This is going to be one of those games I constantly return to. 9/10

>>40218
Check out the workshop if you havent already. There are so many good mods

Finally playing Baldur's Gate. It's bretty gud
Bounced off of it a few times since buying it in the summer due to being intimidated by the tutorial/UX but got hooked pretty quick after finally committing to a play through
The game is hard (core rules), I'm bashing my head against the wall with much save scumming and aborted playthroughs but I've finally made it to the game's namesake.
Played on mute so I can't comment on music/VA but the writing is nice and I dig the artstyle. The quests are just O.K. but the overall story is interesting enough so far

Based

>>40491
Mandatory save-scumming is one of those things that I am really glad modern game design decided to (mostly) abandon.
The farthest I got in Baldurs Gate was the first town. I wanted to roleplay an evil character, at that point I was yet to actually commit any evil acts, but just being mean to people in conversations was enough to tank my alignment low enough to warrant high-level paladin death squad send after me.

Playing reverse 1999
I got John Titors new outfit from the current event so thats pretty nice
I like this critter

I tried peripeteia, completed the demo then tried 2 hrs of the game before refund. It's absolutely terrible, why do people love it so much in the reviews? The only thing I really liked was the silenced mosin and inventory system.
A fully-funded patreon and $25 early access split between two devs. Seriously good job on selling an aesthetic, get that bag.

>>40562
>gacha shit
>John Titor
Wtf? IS that supposed to be John Titor? I can't understand Jap shit at all. Cargo cult country.

>>40567
Its actually Chinese
Also she is not like the john titor but just based on him or something.
She uses her ibm pc to hit enemys too

>>40573
Gatcha can barely even be called a game.
If you want to gamble, go gamble, if you want to grind, go grind for something that will leave you with a real reward.

Same difference. I mean it's kinda funny that they would give an obscure American internet meme "the anime treatment" but just why? What do they have a loli version of longcat too? After loli Jack The Ripper and loli maid HMS Belfast personification, nothing would surprise me. The Asian mind works in mysterious ways. They'd probably find a way to turn a cockroach, or a pile of shit, or a traffic cone, into a loli.

Asians have that ability where they're so much of a pedophile it gives them unlimited creativityto draw bizarre porn

What the actual fuck?

Steam spring sale is here, are you buying anything? I am getting Tactics Ogre Reborn, as the pirate sites which I trust dont have the patches.

https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper_(Assassin)
>The Legendary Serial Killer (伝説の連続殺人鬼, Densetsu no Shiriaru Kirā?). Although there are numerous theories about who Jack the Ripper could have been, she is one interpretation of the series of gory murders in 19th Century England. Her true nature is that of a collection of wraiths born from the aborted children of prostitutes in Whitechapel, London. Because she is a collection of wraiths and not a single entity, piercing her heart will not lead to her immediate death, but the spillage of said wraiths.[1][6]

>>40593
My backlog is huge so I know I shouldn't but I'm looking. Anno 1800, ATOM RPG series, PoE series, Imperator: Rome, Elite Dangerous, Half Life 2, Tyranny and The Long Drive are definite maybes.

File: 1741923013711.jpg (51.74 KB, 540x716, 20241128_174658.jpg)

>>40593
Not buying anything I'm broke as shit and payday ain't till next Friday

>>40608
I have ultimately made a decision to also not buy it. I found a release lacking only the very latest patch, which has only one stability fix. Download speed is 100kbs though, so it is going to take me two days. Looking at steam store and seeing new indie games going for 14€ made me feel bad about about giving twice as much to Square Enix.

>>40601
I can vouch for PoE, the most fun combat I had experienced in cRPG, along with wide variety of options for buildcrafting, together both games will take you 100+ hours to finish. Tyranny is shorter, designed around player doing multiple playthroughts to see all the routes, and HL2 can be finished over a weekend.

>communist party
heh

>>40593
Nah, I got myself Monster Hunter Wilds and I got a ton of unplayed games as it is.

>>38141
The Sims Medieval

>>40619
there is the last release on cs.rin.ru,along with all the patches with sfv installers,if you already have the game
>>40659
one of the guys in my steam family preordered the deluxe ultra premium meme edition so I'm just abusing Greenluma for that one lol,took like 4-5 days until the REFramework finally worked.

File: 1742104805932.png (202.85 KB, 616x463, ClipboardImage.png)

>>40619
Just so we're clear, you're talking about Path of Exile and not Pillars of Eternity, right? I was talking about the former and I suspect you are too but during my continued search I've come across the latter and now I'm not so sure. Pillars might be more up my alley tbh
>>40593
I've settled on these three so far

>>40601
Atom RPG is great if you like Fallout 1/2. Trudograd is even better, though it is a shorter experience.

>>40664
"I don't usually leave a review but in this case…
I have 267 hours of play time while i have waited and waited for an update
that will never come (it gets easier once you accept that).
This game is dead. No seriously. There's been no updates in almost 2 years to the game other
than a beta branch that showcases…Nothing??
This has become nothing more than a blatant crash grab How I wish steam would allow for
refunds once this happens.
From a quick google.

Owner estimates

Gamalytic: Estimates around 1.28 million owners
SteamSpy: Estimates around 1.38 million owners
VG Insights: Estimates around 1.60 million owners
PlayTracker: Estimates around 1.74 million owners
The Long Drive made an estimate $30,294,414.15 in gross revenue since its release. Out of this, the developer had an estimated net revenue of $8,936,852.17.
There is No reason for lack of updates at this point… other than its abandoned."

>>40664
I was talking about Pillars of Eternity.

>>40667
I saw that but thought that even if it's abandoned what little it had to offer was appealing. That said I've played for an hour so far and very well may refund. I was prepared for it to be barebones and can look past the almost obnoxiously janky controls but the driving itself it pretty unsatisfying.
>>40669
Thanks for the clarification, my fault for using the abbreviation.
>>40666
>Atom RPG is great if you like Fallout 1/2
Ya that what I keep hearing. Some folks rip on the writing but it's translated from Russian so I'll cut it some slack.

>>40670
I played both in Russian and I can tell you that the writing in the first game is pretty amateur. Too many jokes and references. They tightened it up in the sequel, while keeping the tone (a mix of lighthearted and dark stuff). So yeah, must be even worse in English but not in an annoying way if you know what to expect.
