Sweet. Thanks, guys! If anything else come to mind, I'll keep stalking the thread. I'd personally really like something like Call of Duty, but I don't know which CoD games offer private match/modes that would be appropriate and wouldn't require me to do postgrad work to figure out how to get one set up.

It's been a really long time but I used to play the original Modern Warfare in private matches and it was pretty easy to manage from in-game, from what I remember. It's also a game that scales down to smaller playercounts surprisingly well, it just turns the whole thing into a competitive stealth game.

Edit: I just bought it and messed around with it. It looks super promising, so thanks for the tip. We'll try to test it out tonight. This might be perfect, at least until I can find the right Call of Duty - CoD4 would be great; that was some exceptional deathmatch, but I'm not confident in my ability to get myself and my guys into a private match together.

I love hard puzzle games, and I'm looking for a new one. I've played all the Zachtronics stuff, all the DROD games, The Witness, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and I don't know where to go next, because the puzzle section on steam is just entirely hentai now.

I'm a lifelong console gamer who recently bought a PC that can actually run stuff. Looking for a few recommendations: 1. Solid single player FPS maybe with RPG elements to help me learn mouse/keyboard, like a Fallout or Bioshock type of thing? 2. I played Wasteland 2 and XCOM 2 on PS4 and liked both especially XCOM - what are some good games like this? I don't know genre names. Preferably on Steam. 3. Any good 2D, sprite style, turn based RPGs (like Final Fantasy 1 or 3/6) available on Steam? 4. I'm a little scared to ask but I'm kind of interested in an MMORPG. I used to play FFXI way back in the day. I'm intimidated by WOW since it has been out forever and I'm new to the genre so I feel like it wouldn't be noob-friendly. The games I play right now most are Dead by Daylight, XCOM2, and Overwatch but I am finding the PVP stuff challenging in Overwatch since my mechanics for mkb are awful.

Looking for a few recommendations: re 2: Invisible Inc, Battle Brothers, All Walls Must Fall, Into the Breach, Mutant Year Zero, Steamworld Heist, etc. If you have a tolerance for older games/bad UI, the original X-COM and X-COM Apocalypse are really good, as is Jagged Alliance 2. If you have a tolerance for anime, Disgaea, Phantom Brave. 3: Operation Abyss: New Toyko Legacy, Starcrawlers? Maybe? Lemme look up classic jrpgs on steam --- Trails in the Sky! You want Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky! 4: Kenshi. It's not an MMO but it feels like a bizarre cross between an old MMORPG, a city-builder and a survival rpg thing. It's really good! e: Oh, and just to check - you've played Portal 1 + 2, right? They're like, perfect PC games.

Turn-based tactical games, you probably will like Battle Brothers, though it's a little different from XCOM2. There's a few XCOM clones that have been made in the past few years if you go hunting, but most are considered inferior to XCOM2. Honestly, there's so much you can mod in XCOM2 that if you wanted to play a game like it, you can probably find an overhaul mod that suits your fancy. 4. FFXIV is both good and beginner friendly. The goon presence in-game is exceptionally helpful if you have any problems, and the game is controller friendly if you wanted to go that route.

Thanks for these recommendations (still open for more, too). I have played the Portal games (I've played most of the bigger name franchises, just on console) I could totally start XCOM 2 all over again with the DLC and mods since I only ever played vanilla to death on console. I'll look at Kenshi and FFXIV and the other stuff too!

Is there anything out there like the old Escape Velocity games? I used to love them but apparently you can't buy them anymore - their payment processor takes payment but the company is shuttered or something so you dont receive a download.

Splicer posted:Belated response that I think you already have the answer to: It's a re-release with it just works (tm) netcode. There's also an option to crossplay with anyone who bought it from GoG (but I can't vouch for how well that works personally). Possibly - I did start a public server by accident and get attacked by an alien for a very brief period while I was trying to sort out how it all worked. I was a marine, and I think he killed me a lot more than I killed him. Edit: also it worked quite well; we were all able to play together, and while the game isn't perfect for our needs, it's still a nice alternative to Murder Miners and CSGO while we continue the quest for a good cozy DM.

looking for a good metroidvania; just played through bloodstained and it ruled, and i'm still in the mood for more. - i have played all the igavanias. they're top notch. - i have also tried several metroids and none of them felt good. something about the basic movement just always feels really floaty and unpleasant to me and i can't get into them, i wish i could. - yes i've played hollow knight. it was fine but had a lot of backtracking. - a few indies too like timespinner and iconoclasts what else should i try?

Lot's of good metroidvania suggestions already so I'll just add Ori and the Blind Forest because it's a very good one. and yes the GBA metroid are the best (Fusion and Zero Mission) e: since Hwurmp added Ori already I will drop 2 more recommendations with tight controls: - The Messenger - Dead Cells Dead Cells has procedural levels and a die and retry mechanic but it is heavily inspired by Igavanias and it feels like one SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Jun 24, 2019 |

Axiom verge's style and atmosphere are extremely good and it's got some real great surprises tucked away in its story both in terms of where the plot goes and also visually, too. The music is also great, and the whole package was all done by a single dude. The upgrades can get really crazy and there's dozens of weapons to find. It's a real good time. Boss fight theme is a banger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL68Sp-4Dqs

The Berzerker posted:I'm a lifelong console gamer who recently bought a PC that can actually run stuff. Looking for a few recommendations: Gonna throw on one more XCOM like and suggest Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus. It does some neat things with the action system. Everyone gets a move and a fire action or two move actions as standard, but you get bonus actions based on certain abilities / collecting “research data” from fallen enemies and the environment. So it adds another layer of strategy where you’re trying to optimize getting as many bonus moves as possible so that you can run your guys halfway across the map in 1 turn or fire your fuckoff huge cannon at max charge. Early versions were reviewed as too easy because the bonus moves made you so OP, but I think they’ve balanced it out better now. And the game just oozes style—very well done art and soundtrack with surprisingly funny characters for what is supposed to be a grimdark setting.

It's a weird hybrid between a shooter, a turn-based strategy game like XCOM, and with some heavy JRPG overtones like with Final Fantasy. VC4 is on sale on steam right now. Steamworld Heist might also scratch that itch for tactical turn-based combat.

Okay, I'm really burning out on Red Dead Redemption 2 and considering moving on to something else. (PS4) Here's what I have: Dark Souls 3 Assassins Creed Odyssey Uncharted 4 God of War Middle Earth: Shadow of War Restart Monster Hunter and actually really get into it this time (I could try playing Monster Hunter side by side with some of the story games, but I tend to suck at having two controller schemes in my head at the same time.)

My turn to ask: I'm playing more of Operation Abyss, and it's giving me an itch. What are the best/newest dungeon crawlers on steam? And I don't mean Grimrock with its real-time combat, I mean good stuff like Operation Abyss and StarCrawlers. Think Shin Megami Tensei 1+2 and/or Wizardry and you know what I want.
