I never finished Dying Light 1, it was cool until it turned into the world's worst FPS. second area seemed fine but I was just burned out by then.

dying light seems terrible but I have a slight interest in both seven days to die and project zomboid, and was astonished to see 7DTD had 80k people playing on a random Friday afternoon so it must have something going for it

if you like survival crafting games and have a group of friends to play it with, 7DtD is janky as hell but very fun and there's a ton of mods for it

however there are people that do not like/get survival crafting games, and if you're one of them, this probably won't be the one to win you over to the genre.

ah yeah fair enough I like maybe one in ten - subnautica and the forest were fun but I’m struggling to remember any others I stuck with, and it looks a bit janky for my tastes

This. 7dtd has been around for almost 15 years and still alpha but has a lot of content and fun, but it is still beta-tier m janky

that said it’s most fun with friends over discord, you might get bored playing it solo and yeah if the survival crafting genre isn’t for you, it’s not going to change your mind

if you are playing it solo or ambiguous on the whole survival crafting genre, I would highly recommend Obsidians new Grounded game that came out that’s Honey I Shrubk The Kids themed. it’s free on game pass

The first one is great, the combat of the second one is even better in the combat department but too much game in my opinion

it's fun but very slow and the controls and hit detection suck. hard to recommend it but if you like sims you can take slow and really get into it could be for you.

Zomboid and CDDA are RNG sim hell, Caves of Qud is RNG sim heaven

They're all good but you have to be sort of taken by a fey mood like with ARPGs

Turns out the XCOM formula really shines when you halve the RNG and replace it with everybody moving around the battlefield like greased lightning

I tried that one back when the switch didn't have any games yet and it seemed like a pretty good XCOM if you're into that

7DtD is pretty good, but one of the most recent updates did a bunch of changes just to make the game a pain in the rear end so it may not be as good.

hmm. I like sims well enough but my partner loves zombie media and I suspect she’d dig zomboid’s seemingly meticulous approach to it, might have to check that out

what did they change this time

The Fun Pimps (TM) do this poo poo all of the loving time and have flip-flopped back and forth for like 15 years. it'll either get worked back or people have modded it to be good again.

I have :filez: of every version and have been fine-tuning my steam deck into a Batocera emulation machine over the past month or so.

I've heard Subsistence is the version of 3 that I want, c/d?
