Steam Winter Sale, still undecided. If you could force me to buy one of these games, which one would it be: Yakuza 0, Kingdom Come Deliverance or Mass Effect Legendary Edition. (I've never played any Mass Effect or Yakuza.)

Yakuza 0 was my first (and so far only) Yakuza and I didn't feel like I was missing anything plot wise. The combat didn't click with me at all, which is a shame, since it's mostly about the combat. Prepare for incredibly long cutscenes and whiplash between the ultra-serious dramatic main plot and zany side quests. Kingdom Come was an interesting take on the hack and slash dark fantasy RPG. I really liked the combat here, you definitely become better at it by learning the system rather than just grinding your stats to be higher and even if you're a hot poo poo knight in full armour you can still get ganked by a couple of guys with pitchforks if they surround you. Stealth combat didn't click for me at all, but stealth is almost never mandatory to begin with. The realism can be a bit grating sometimes and get in the way of fun, but not often. I haven't played Legendary Edition, but I've played all the original Mass Effects. It was fun and I'm told that all the rough parts of ME1 were improved in the upgrade, so it should be a fun space romp. Can't go wrong with any of the three, it all depends on what you like.

Mass Effect was a drat fine game with a decent cultural impact, and if you care about that whole sort of dialogue trees and making choices in the narrative, you probably owe it to yourself to give it a try. It was some of Bioware's finest work and I don't think the studio was essentially dismantled afterwards. Also the gunplay of ME2 might be my favorite shooting ever. You can either get really tactical or you can zoom around punching and shooting.

I'll add to the chorus for Yakuza 0. Never played another Yakuza game before it. Took a bit to understand the combat and get into the game's weirdness; the story is super-serial men crying super-serial tears and punching their way through all the melodrama, but the gameplay and sidequests are all the silliest poo poo (in a good way). The game has so much content. I also just love the way it looks; the wet streets and neon nights are just rad as hell. For 5 bux, an absolute no brainer.

Yakuza Zero is very good, especially during the half of the game when you play as Majima. I couldn't get into any other Yakuza games because I find Kiryu to be extremely boring but Zero is fantastic.

You get billions of yen in yakuza 0, healing items cost like a 100. That's how the combat works.

Yakuza 0 has pacing issues and for whatever reason the hardest part of the game is the tutorial (so once you're in the game proper there's almost 0 challenge left in the combat as you had to more or less master it just to get to that point) so I think it is being overhyped That being said yeah it's a great game you should get yakuza 0

Hey folks! Before the steam sale ends I'm looking to get into another RTS but with first person aspects/option. One of my favourite games of all time was the 1998 remake of Battle-zone which had a basic, but fun amount of base building, defence, resource harvesting and combat. I sunk tons of hours into it and its sequel. I also enjoy Antaeus Rising/Carrier Commander. I got pretty deep into Elite Dangerous and still mean to get back into it. My ideal game would be something that isn't crazy deep and I can pick up and play an instant action single player game vs CPU opponents for 30-90 minutes with a definitive beginning and end. Homeworld skirmish matches used to be something I would enjoy. Not space related but to this day also play Rise of Nations skirmish matches which last about an hour at least a couple times a week (I realize these are not really first person perspectives but just to give an idea of the types of games I like). Recommendations that might be up my alley?

It's an RTS with no base building and limited units so no gigantic murderblobs or long drawn out matches that take forever (in the skirmish mode, you also pick one role from armour/infantry/artillery/air which keeps things fairly simple) but it's all about the explosions and calling in progressively bigger airstrikes and tactical support. Edit: actually, WiC might have been taken off sale on steam, poo poo sorry

I want a coffee break game. Each session is 5-10 minutes, easy in/out. I'm hoping for tactical turn-based stuff, or card games, or something fiddly - no reflex based games! I already have Vampire Survivors (and that's a 20-30 minute game anyways) Is there anything like that? Especially anything new?

There's zero time pressure or real-time gameplay. I play a run throughout the day at work, when I have a few minutes to myself here and there.

One of my favourite things to do with World in Conflict was to identify a unit that had survived an entire match, and then watch a replay from its perspective. I bought the game legitimately when it came out, so I don't feel bad about torrenting it now. (Funny story - Zellers had a sale where you buy one new release, and get any other new release for $5. WiC was $70, so I bought some terrible flight sim from Slovakia for $20 and World in Conflict for $5.)

Anyone looking for a Rogue-lite FPS with crafting might consider Void Bastards Your prison ship AI unlocks prisoners to find resources for it to escape the system. You board each vessel, with certain ones likely to have certain resources and enemies, and work your way through the system to complete different objectives. If you die, your backpack detatches and returns to the vessel to be given to a new person. (No affiliation with channel) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIBjdEoj8jk

In Subnautica, I love piloting a submarine and also leaving the pilot's seat to walk around the ship and even put out fires. Are there any other games with more of that? I played Space Engineers years ago, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

There's a few strategy games where you command your guys to do it, like FTL, Bomber Crew, or Space Crew (which is the Bomber Crew guys' take on FTL), but those are much less direct or personal. A lot of co-op-focused games have that sort of experience like We Need To Go Deeper or Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time or even Totally Human Basketball. There's also a couple MMOs with a similar thing like Puzzle Pirates or Sea of Thieves. Far: Lone Sails (and its recent sequel, Far: Changing Tides) are sidescrolling single-player versions on the concept, where you're taking these sailcraft across the endless wastelands, and managing speed and engines. They might feel a bit simplistic though. Spiritfarer is a very chill version of the concept with a story and no real danger of your boat being damaged or sunk, but you do actually plot a course with that one. And on a very superficial level, there's things like AC4 or Outer Wilds or even Knights of the Old Republic. And on an early-access game that I haven't played level, there's Starstruck Vagabond, a game with the premise of recreating some of the appeal of Stardew Valley but with a spaceship hauling cargo that you have to manage.

Space trading where you don't "fly" the ship as much as pilot it like a submarine and play with underwater-like stealth. And you get handsy with the various ship stations when things go wrong.
