Haha, thing you like bad.
I also like games 
Have you ever played Tropico?
Topico 6...It's 5 years old 
Stardew Valley just got a big update
El Paso, Elsewhere
max payne shooter with vampires and werewolves, and the noirest, coolest, minimalist story i've seen in years where you're trying to kill your ex girlfriend, Dracula, before she ends the world.
Play Hades
Always an objectively correct recommendation.
This year has had an amazing start with indie titles so far imo. All cheaper than full blown triple A games.
- Palworld : genuinely fresh take on Pokémon
- Enshrouded: well built survival game. Still in early access though, might be much better in a year or so.
- Last Epoch: best arpg in years?
- Helldivers: deserves all the hype and then some.
And then rimworld is getting a new expansion, what more can you wish for?
Pacific Drive was pretty cool.
I finally played Dwarf Fortress Steam edition after buying it at launch and never touching it. It's just as good as Dwarf Fortress has always been, but a little more visual and coherent.
Balatro
chill, fun, numbers go up type of game
you get to build completely normal decks of cards like in the above picture, that has nothing out of the ordinary about it
purchase a pair of pants that get stronger the more you wear them
I second balatro
That sounds really cool, I gotta try it.
You forgot the best part: the game is $15, with no DLC, no live service, and no micro-transactions. It's just a game. Like, literally just a video game. You pay money to the creator (one guy) and in return you get a game you can play that is fun to play. And it does not strain your graphics card. The only downside is how addictive it is.
Honestly the older I get, the less I buy new games. It gets easier to just say "oh yeah that game was fun, let's play it again." I think I've played two new games so far this year and neither of them actually came out in 2024.
Depends on what you like to play but yeah I haven't bothered playing any games that came out this year except Balatro.
Give us something to work with, and I'm sure people could recommend something for you. What genres do you like? What platforms do you play on? If on PC, do you have an above-average PC, etc.? Do you like multiplayer games? Single-player only? Etc
Maybe give us the last 2-3 games you did enjoy.
i pretty much exclusively play minecraft, factorio has racked up numerous hours as of late, GTA V i played through quite a bit, it's a pretty good open world sandbox, and unturned, again another open world sandbox.
Give me a true open world sandbox and i will be content for the rest of my life.
If you don't mind games that release with half their features that get patched in later because their spokesman is a habitual liar, check out Light No Fire. With the current condition of No Man's Sky I have to say I'm actually looking forward to this.
i see why you described it like that, it doesn't exist yet, lol.
I dont mind games that don't have a ton of features, especially if they build a really good open world environment, where you just don't need very many. You can often build your own game on your own time.
It's only march
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door remake in late May if you like story-heavy turn-based rpgs!
I'm waiting for the release of FrostPunk 2.
Aba got released for season 3 of Guilty Gear Strive. It does seem like a lot of cool games and DLC are a little further out.
