Obra Dinn is excellent. Red faction guerilla if you haven't already played it before and like breaking buildings. Remove Deus Ex maybe if you don't really like that kind of game, they haven't given it a proper ending yet still so it will disappoint even if it's solid up to that but you could just play Prey instead.

You can probably remove The Red Strings Club. The premise is interesting but goes absolutely nowhere, and the ending is literally the opening cutscene lol

Hi thread, I've moved from being angry to being creative and chill. Occupy White Walls is making me extremely happy, and now I want to build more things. I want a game that contains: - first or third person POV - building mechanics. place walls, place floors, build a little den or base of your own. Think 3D sims Build-a-house and you're in the right area. - isn't too obtrusive with the rest of the gameplay / has a creative mode - Is pretty to look at What's good?

Hi thread! I'm looking for some strategy games with specific mechanics. Old or complicated is fine, but Dominions and Dwarf Fortress are the limit of my ability to handle poo poo UI and grognardiness. Turn Based City Builder TBS (non-tactics game) with an action point or pips mechanic Games where the nation/group/organization becomes different because of your choices and changes dramatically during your playthrough. The best example I can come up with, and it's not great, is Majesty. The choice of non-human changes the character of your city - gnomes spamming hovels and creating a slum, dwarves making fortifications - and the choice of temples creates a different overall theme. A bad example would be Civilization, where you can focus on different things, build different buildings, and take different techs at different times, but the character of the group you're playing as doesn't change, only your immediate capabilities.

Looking for a good game for my wife. She has very particular tastes, so I wonder if any of you might be able to recommend something. She is looking for a game that is preferably on the Nintendo Switch. Her favorite games are ones that have a bit of a task management aspect to them. Games she has really enjoyed: Stardew Valley, Cook Serve Delicious 1 & 2, Katamari Damacy, Dragon Quest Builders, 2 Point Hospital, Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons. Her favorite games tend to be ones where you build/decorate (Stardew Valley, Dragon Quest Builders, Animal Crossing) or ones where you have to manage a bunch of tasks (Cook Serve Delicious, 2 Point Hospital). She also likes games where exploration is heavily featured (Zelda Breath of the Wild, Skyrim, Dragon Quest Builders again). She's not so much into games that are a heavy story focus or a heavy combat focus. She's not into open-ended things like Minecraft because she wants tasks and goal to keep her motivated to keep playing. I can't really find anything to fit that description on the Switch. Any ideas?

Yoku Island Express. It's a metroidvania with traditional mechanics replaced with pinball gameplay, it's cute and good, and fairly linear.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Creativerse? It's kinda like vanilla Minecraft, but better, and free. After a while of playing this I found the default inventory to be frustratingly small due to all the trash that you constantly pick up. Of course, of course, there's a microtransaction to get a bigger inventory. Aside from that, the crafting table mechanics are a bit odd compared to minecraft, and mining ore involves placing down a block which takes some time to extract it. I think you're intended to make multiple ore extractors but by that time I'd decided to stop playing. It's probably okay to play without spending money if you're good with inventory management.

I'm also interested in the experience of playing as a ruler with limited attention, rather than an omnipotent god of the faction.

Gonna re-recommend SteamWorld Heist, with I guess the caveat that difficulties above Experienced might be too hard? As is I have had missions go bad, but my first attempt this run on the Queen went well, and that was with using all my lowest level crew-members (besides Piper cause she's the captain). Also the gripe about the ricochet's uselessness got me to experiment with'em, and I've managed some nifty trick shots with scoped weapons.

I started out taking out the reinforcements as they showed up, but once the second Big Guy arrived he was in a very inconvenient spot for me so I decided may as well ignore him and just kill the Queen and lesser reinforcements.

I'm looking for a game that leans heavily on the "Build a base to survive the elements and/or against hostile forces." Don't Starve is probably my primary example, but I've sunk hundreds and hundreds of hours into it, and I'm looking for something that has a bit more "base building" in that mix. I've already tried ARK, but the dinosaurs theme didn't really grab me, and it runs like trash. I've also tried games like Terraria/Starbound, but I'm looking for a little more gameplay around the base building being necessary for survival aspect. I tried Rimworld as well, but it just felt to punishingly arbitrary and random for my liking. One person recommended The Forest, which looks like ARK but weird flesh monsters instead of dinos, but that game doesn't seem to have a lot of survival aspects to it (I don't actually know, just guessing).

User0015 posted:I'm looking for a game that leans heavily on the "Build a base to survive the elements and/or against hostile forces." 7 Days to Die is basically a voxel builder with in depth crafting and scavenging, set in a post zombie apocalypse. Zombies roam during the day and go loving ballistic at night, so base building is a critical part of the game (be it a fort in the woods, or fortifying an existing structure in a town). That said, it is janky af so be warned.

Yeah, that's the trouble. It seems like that game, ARK and The Forest all have some level of jank in them. Of the three, I'd probably pick ARK but I have none of the DLC so I don't know if I can play on any private goon servers. I think they all run new maps or such.

Of the three, ARK has the most survival aspects, and lets you train dinos/pets, 7 Days has the most character advancement and base-building options (by magnitudes!) and allows vehicles and electric base appliances, (with optional procgen random maps) The Forest has the most guided experience with handmade survival-horror cave delving, rather than ARK's open unguided world and 7Day's utterly open landscape ARK and 7 Days are tied for general jank imo, with The Forest having less single-player and more multi-player jank than the others.

7d2d has also spent 5 years in early access at this point as the decidedly amateur devs thrash around wildly. That said, they have consistently improved over that period, which is something no AAA studio can really say over the same timeframe.

If you liked Don't Starve a lot, but now want a game like that, but with more basebuilding, you might want to check out another game by Klei, Oxygen Not Included. It gets into more elaborate construction like with plumbing, electricity, and clone management.

It's just a distraction while I look for other games, and a lot of suggestions were games I've been looking at.

Alright, let's say I'm thinking ponying up the dough for a recent AAA title. What would you recommend. AC: Odyssey Marvel's Spider-Man Xenoblade Saga 2. Additional Information: I love open world games that let me forget the main plot for 40 hours, hate climbing puzzles and am neutral to anime tiddy and gacha mechanics.

I loved the gently caress out of Spider-man (but I'm a huge loving mark for Spider-man to begin with). Odyssey seemed like a game that should have been 30-40 hours that was stretched out to 80-100 hours.

I loved Odyssey this year, having never really been into an AC game before. I even explained why here! The game kind of expects that you'll go do sidequests and set the main story aside for a bit, but the central plot wasn't too terrible either, as far as these games go.
