It's more focused around actual ships, but it's also possible to build pretty elaborate flying vehicles. Still actively developed. Echoing this. From the Depths is great and is more interesting thanks to being on the sea rather than space, but as mentioned flying machines are possible, as well as space craft for orbital strikes. It's got such depth that you can design the very ammunition that each of your weapons systems fire, or the specific shape and size of your cannons, lasers or missiles. Engine customisation, programmable fleet AI that can be either the simplest possible (Auto-fire weapons, follow leader) that needs to be connected to all of the relevant systems, submarines that are a joy to construct, it's a fantastic building game.

Hey goons, I'm looking for a new game to play and I'm wondering if you could give me some suggestions based on the games I've loved this year and games i didn't love. Games i've played this year that i loved Wolfenstein TNO - I'm a sucker for good stories, but I haven't played a straight FPS game since the mid 2000s, so it was an interesting return to form Assassins Creed Syndicate - I loved AC back in the AC2 days, hadn't played any since. I'm generally not a fan of open world games, and I can't exactly figure out why I finished this one, but I enjoyed playing the story missions and conquering London Watchdogs 2 - I live in San Francisco and I'm surrounded by tech nerds 24x7, so this game was just enough fanservice to get me. Plus they nailed the douchy CEO antagonist perfectly. And pretty much everything open-world about it was ignorable. Rise of the Tomb Raider - This was a completely unexpected, perfect sequel that I didn't know I wanted to Batman: Arkham Asylum. I'm a fan of metroid vanias and they nailed the "you just got something new, and now your old options are brand new again" feeling that you get from them. Path of Exile - ARPS really do it for me. 600+ hours and counting. Dead Cells - I'm a fan of the "slow meta progression roguelite" genre, and i love fast 2d plaforming and combat, so this was a no-brainer for me Sleeping Dogs - This is my favorite open world game of all time. Again, I don't really dig open world games but I will 100% this game every year until they remove it from my steam catalogue. Ori and The Blind Forest - I'm a huge fan of metroidvanias and dear god is this game gorgeous and fun to control Doki Doki Literature Club loving anime dating sims, but give me some of that good old 4th wall breaking poo poo anyday. Games I've played this year that I didn't like Darksiders 2 - I heard super good things and it was on sale for like $4, but man did i bounce hard off this game. I had no reason to care about the characters or story and the mechanics did nothing interesting. Tomb Raider 2013 - I loving LOVED rise, so I bought this one during the steam sale and was disappointing that it was an uncharted-like instead of an arkham-like (i knew going into it that it was an uncharted-like, but i never really played uncharted so I have now discovered that they are not my jam) Bayonetta - I loving loved Metal Gear Rising, so I wanted to check this one out, but I just couldn't enjoy the cheesyness in the same way I enjoyed MGRs. I'll probably give it a second shot and see if i can get past the beefcake. Prey - I loving love looking glass sims, but this one didn't do it for me. Got bored halfway through. I played it shortly after Deus Ex: MD and so maybe I was just bored of the genre. Grim Dawn - After dumping 600 hours into POE i couldn't get over how ugly and boring this one was. Shovel Knight - the nostalgia wasn't enough for me, and otherwise I didn't really like it. Owl Boy - again, highly praised but it just didn't work for me. The core gameplay loop was just boring. The only game I finished in the "didn't like" category was Tomb Raider, so I would be open to going back and giving any of them a fairer shake if they are goon recommended. Anyone have any other ideas? VVV thanks for the reminder, I'm about halfway through Hollow Knight. Not really grabbing me, but I'll probably binge it one night.

That list is all over the place. I think it would help if you described more specifically what you didn't like about the games in the dislike list. Since you enjoy slow meta progression roguelites I would like to suggest Monolith. It's a NES nostalgia game but actually fun to play. Like you I kinda bounced off Shovel Knight, even though I feel like I should enjoy it on paper. Monolith hits all the right buttons for me though.

I'll check out Monolith and I went back and edited my list to be a little bit more descriptive about why I didn't like things. I always have a hard time with game recommendations, because even though I liked a game, it doesn't mean that I will like another game in a similar genre with similar mechanics. Divinity Original Sin and Nier:Automata are on my shortlist, but i hear Nier has a lovely PC port.

Nier's port is fine, and I say this as someone who's a lot pickier about this stuff than most people. I also thought the game itself was just okay, and never finished it because the gameplay takes a nosedive the first time you switch protagonists. I heard it picks up again later though and I'll probably get back to it eventually.

Have you tried Axiom Verge? Also I find the new AC really enjoyable even though I never bothered with the other ones before (besides a bit of Black Flag). There's something with this kind of unusual settings that I really like (like Far Cry Primal too)

I've been playing Metal Gear Solid V on PS4 recently and really like most of it including the (mental) storyline, basebuilding, researching, resource finding, general structure of the game. Its very nearly perfect but for me its just a little too stealth-orientated. Is there anything like it that relies a little less on stealth? At the same time I don't want to be charging around like Master Chief.

So I'm looking for something else to get into since I'm just doing the occasional MMO thing with the girlfriend and I have a ... well.. ungodly amount of items. So if anyone has any good suggestions for what I haven't played yet, I'm very curious to hear them. Here's the list

Malek posted:So I'm looking for something else to get into since I'm just doing the occasional MMO thing with the girlfriend and I have a ... well.. ungodly amount of items. Dear god, man. This nearly crashed my browser. Okay, looking at games you never played, these are my recommendations. I really like puzzle games and metroidvanias so I might be a bit biased towards those. TOP PICKS Undertale (seriously play this drat game) Portal (how have you not played this) Planescape: Torment (maybe you played this already, before it got on steam?) Ori and the Blind Forest Stephen's Sausage Roll (warning: very difficult) Hollow Knight FLY'N (warning: gets difficult near the end) SpaceChem (at the bottom only because some people didn't like the boss battles. I liked them!) GREAT GAMES in alphabetical order Antichamber Aquaria Axiom Verge Braid Closure Environmental Station Alpha Escape Goat 2 Infinifactory Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet Slime Rancher Snakebird (warning: very difficult, shorter than Stephen's Sausage Roll but more likely to stump you) The Bridge The Swapper Thomas Was Alone VVVVVV GOOD GAMES or great games you might not like maybe, or games I haven't played but hear are really good Arx Fatalis Bioshock Divide by Sheep Hexcells Hyper Light Drifter La-Mulana NiGHTS Nihilumbra Papers, Please Shovel Knight SUPERHOT The Misadventures of P.B.

Rayman Legends is another one that was a joy to play but it's a pure platformer.

Puyo Puyo Tetris looks really fun, especially the combined modes - Tetris is very relaxing to play for me but sometimes you want some variation and all. However I don't own a single console and also am a cheapskate. Are there any similar games on PC, even if it's not strictly Tetris + Puyo style? If this was 10 years ago at the height of the flash games era I'd probably already know a dozen free ones but I ain't running poo poo on Flash in the year 2017 and also I haven't kept up with those kinds of sites at all anyway so wouldn't know where to look.

One key bug of note is that you can't make new stockpiles, and you can delete the original one. Yeah, that has the effect you'd imagine.

Don't let that put you off the game in the future though, it's utterly charming and has the foundations for something truly great. It just uh, suffers greatly at present. For a general recommendation if anyone's looking for a good trading game with no combat: Interstellar Trading Company has been eating my hours as of late. It's a wonderful game with all the stats that you could ever want, and so many lovely graphs. Great sense of progress as well, as Humanity colonises more and more worlds and develops FTL travel, and you play as the private sector enjoying the perks of that technological movement. It's like my dream of playing as a corporation within the brilliant Aurora 4X.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Transport company, Offworld is a little too fast IMHO, but it's very good too. That was my experience with Offworld. Basically, the more like a spreadsheet the game is the better I like it. I just want to chill out, work toward upgrades and new research paths, and watch my bank balances grow while crushing my opponents beneath the might of my economic empire (why yes I do enjoy incremental games why do you ask?!?). Offworld felt like "Oh you weren't already clicking on that? Sucks to be you", and I want my game to be more like a spreadsheet than an RTS. But then even the gameplay itself felt kind of shallow to me. Like you had to produce everything all the time and create artificial shortages to make a profit, but the only purpose of manufacturing anything was to sell it. I was pretty disappointed with it, but I also didn't play very long so maybe I didn't get far enough (looks like ~3 hours of gameplay logged). Interstellar Transport Company is on my wishlist. Should I bump it up in purchase priority?

I'm looking for a game with a bunch of skills to grind. Having those skills do something useful is a bonus. It can be an MMO or single player, an MMO with a Goon presence is some more bonus points. Most of the MMOs I've looked into are dead or dying so there is that. Similar games that I've played. Wurm Online Eve Online Project Gorgon Runescape Haven & Heart UnReal World
