How is Monster Train? I usually don't go for card games, but I played a lot of Slay the Spire.

I second Oxygen Not Included, but skip the DLC

[–] simple@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Monster train is lovely. I actually prefer it to Slay the Spire, but it is a little bit more complex. I would highly recommend not playing with the DLC at the start because that makes things a lot more complicated. If you do end up buying the DLC, there's an option to turn it off. Only when you've mastered the game should you turn it on.

Anything INDY that looks fun. I refuse to buy anything 'AAA' branded because none of them deserve money or my attention anymore.

Hard to say without knowing what genres you play, but you can't go wrong with rimworld or hollow knight.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry, that wasn't a question but a statement. I will only play Indy games. I have blacklisted anything from the AAA studios because of pure corporate greed.

Played both those games and enjoyed them.

There is Amazing Cultivation Simulator which is similar to rimworld but set in a wuxia setting, sseth did a review of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJxM3POU92w.

Loop hero was last years craze if you missed that, pizza tower and tinykin are also popular.

[–] Dups@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I can't argue with that.

Looking hard at Pegglin, Griftlands and maybe Remnant.

[–] Dups@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Pegglin looks good. I was at my friend's house and he was playing it.

Bought myself sekiro. Already played it once using a friend's account but very excited to go through it again. Easily top 3 fromsoft game for me

[–] Dragonmind@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Protodroid Delta, Rusted Moss, Roboquest, The Last Tinker.

Been feeling like going for the nostalgia platformed stuff lately!

[–] Corr@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been eyeing rusted moss. Looks really neat. Have you played it yet?

[–] Dragonmind@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right off the bat I can tell you it's like Metroid and Celeste had a baby with a grappling hook system. It also has controller support! Story just drops you in the middle of things which is... An odd choice but I guess it's a piecing together kind of thing. Charming music as well.

[–] Corr@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Okay, that's great. It looks really nice lol. I've got a few games to check out before I get to this one but it's on my wishlist for sure and it'll be something I get soon (hopefully)
