Looking for a single player vehicular combat game, a la Twisted Metal, Interstate 76, Carmageddon that isn't Twisted Metal, Interstate 76 or Carmageddon because I've played them to death! Also, bonus points if it was made in like the last five years. This genre is either dead or is strictly multiplayer. In the interest in reducing redundant suggestions, but also for those who may want to explore the genre, here are similar games I've already played: Road Redemption Mad Max Well poo poo I thought I could come up with more.

how is subnautica a RTS? Is there something later because I got it, picked up some rocks and fish, then stopped because it felt like every other open world crafting survival game except underwater

I got machinarium on a whim and spent the whole afternoon solving it with my girlfriend. It was really cute and fun to tackle as a team. I'm out of the loop on contemporary point and click adventure games, can anyone recommend any more for us to play together? I don't own any consoles but collectively we have PCs, an android tablet and an iPad.

I think the buzzwords for that game is it's like playing a Terry Pratchett book Edna and Harvey if you like Tim Burton Puzzle Agent if you want to not bother picking stuff up and just go from puzzle to puzzle, with fantastic writing

I don't own any consoles but collectively we have PCs, an android tablet and an iPad. Check out the Samorost trilogy, from the same developer. They're each quite a bit shorter than Machinarium but the first two are free online. They also have a couple other point & clicks called Botanicula and CHUCHEL but I've never played those.

Subnautica is a survival horror game, but it does take a bit before it really gets started. But it's an excellent horror survival game, so good that I had to stop playing for awhile because a particular scene made me cry.

Most classic LucasArts have had great remaster (monkey island 1 and 2, day of the tentacle, full throttle) you basically HAVE TO play them if you haven't already. Life is strange was cute and probably fun to play cooperatively too. SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Sep 16, 2018 |

Primordia is the most thematically similar to Machinarium, although maybe a different tone. Sam & Max is also very good, although the first season from Telltale is a little rough. After a point Telltale stopped making puzzle-type adventure games and put all their resources into more dramatic games, but what they made before the shift is mostly good. Evilreaver posted:I need a multiplayer base builder game, a la Factorio. Anything like that? If it's the making big automated machines to get tasks done or collect resources, then maybe you'd like something like the Sky Factory mod for Minecraft? That one is all combining a bunch of different mods so you can create a whole world from a tree on a block of dirt floating in a void. There's other modpacks for if you want similar building experiences but an environment to explore as well, like Galacticraft. Just beware that Minecraft, especially after modders have had their way with it, can be a bit of a resource hog and can make your machine really chug. Alternatively, maybe Astroneer?

Blast of Confetti posted:Off the top of my head: If you like sexism, you'll like Deponia. Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok is free and pretty good. Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! is cheap and cheerful, and very British. If you don't mind going back in time to classic Lucasarts games, The Curse of Monkey Island is modern enough that the interface is good, and it's fully voiced.

Basically the main character of that series is the biggest loving piece of poo poo. The game kinda tries to call him out on his poo poo, punish him for it, teach him a lesson, and what have you, but he may cross a line in there. Other than that, the world is fun and the art's nice, just beware. There's a free demo that you can play to see if you're be okay with it.

Terraria and 7 Days To Die were also huge wins, and allegedly have large patches coming ""soon"" (which is unfortunately where I have my chips atm) Essentially we're looking for 'persistent world with cooperative goal(s)', which means no 'quickie' coop (Left4Dead, Vermintide, Deep Rock Galactic, Overcooked are all excellent games but don't hit the itch) Suppose we'll look into Astroneer then

McFrugal posted:Since you didn't elaborate, it just kinda looks like you're calling Confetti sexist for recommending it. On sexism: rockpapershotgun posted:And then there’s the game’s grotesque representation and attitude toward women. Within the opening moments of the game, one character has already suggested that a female character’s mentally ill behaviour is because she’s on her period. Women are sex objects, lunatics, sluts or only identified as fat. Two women who’ve joined the resistance army are described as “dressing like men”, and laughed at for thinking they can have army titles. One is taking hormones to be acceptable. PMT jokes abound, and the female lead – Goal – improbably falls in love with the revolting main character despite every dreadful thing he’s done and said. On other problematic writing in the game: rockpapershotgun posted:For example. Of the very few black characters in the game, one of them is being forced to be an organ grinder’s monkey. Yes, a monkey. A puzzle (of sorts) at that stage in the game is to first get rid of the organ grinder, and then to find a replacement monkey, so that Monkey – as it persists in calling him – can become the new grinder. The person you’re required to have become his new dancing monkey, by destroying her life until she has nothing left? The other black character. link to the full review here: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/11/wot-i-think-goodbye-deponia Afriscipio fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Sep 17, 2018 |

As SlothfulCobra said, the main character's behaviour does not go unaddressed. The game is still poorly written though. It's a lovely point and click for other reasons as well. The puzzles aren't good, and it's not very funny. The story isnt very good. It just has an alright aesthetic. HerpicleOmnicron5 fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Sep 17, 2018 |

I didn't care for it for some reason I can't articulate, but two friends of mine really enjoyed it. It's janky in the same way that 7 Days to Die is janky so I think you'll like it. Also The Forest and Ark, Ark in particular. Some people bounce off Ark but that game got several hundred hours out of me.

We really enjoyed Ark when we rented our own server and could adjust things like how often we needed to feed the dinosaurs so that we didn't have to have a feeding schedule and wouldn't log in to find all our dinosaurs had starved overnight. It seems like it's designed for much larger groups than four, but having access to addons and server variables helped automate a lot of the tedious poo poo. Having access to the poop multiplier was interesting, too.

Rather, Walker's articles always without failure exaggerate their points and ignore literally anything of merit. It's a bad game for many reasons - but it knows its characters are not good people. It just never actually uses that to make a substantive point. I am not defending Deponia.

Tactics Ogre is really good. Another good PSP tactics game is Jeanne d'Arc, no idea how you'd play it now though, but you should. E: Decided I wanted to play Jeanne d'Arc again so I'd check how much old PSPs cost on ebay and all the listings are these:  Guess the factory that made PSP/Vita cases decided to just keep on making them Gravy Jones fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Sep 18, 2018 |
