It used to be an old CCG called Alteil, probably have 1k+ hours on that. After playing bg3 this week, defs bg3, but I do have a habit of wafting around a bunch of crpgs.
Slay The Spire
Spelunky 2.
Minecraft. It’s so dang cozy to me.
For me it’s either FFXIV or Armello ATM.
Lifetime? RuneScape (oldschool, none of the rs3 stuff)
Within the last 5 or so years? Insurgency (mainly Sandstorm) Hits the perfect blend of realistic shooter with fast paced action. I also exclusively play coop where you’re on a team with other real people and you’re playing against a team of bots. Nice and easy-going. You aren’t getting all pissed off and mad at someone on the other team and the modded servers are really fun
Currently, 7 Days to Die, though I don’t like where it’s heading.
It’s varied over the years and included Total Annihilation, Wow, Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld among others.
The Long Dark
Counter Strike: Source
Deus Ex:Human Revolution. I know every part of that game and still find some fun paths/solutions I didn’t know about, comforting with a bit of variety every time!
KSP, for sure
Advance wars and anno 1404
Sea of Thieves with my SO lately, previously Earth Defense Force with her as well.
Yeah it’s Europe 1400: the guild for me too. Love that game and can’t get behind the second or third game. I loved to play it over lan with my friends.
1400 is a masterpiece. It’s a shame that the sequels went for this 3D sims styled gameplay. I don’t want to control the whole family. I want to control one member of the family.
It has so much atmosphere to it, I don’t think any other game has truly replicated it so far. Haven’t tried the third yet but I heard bad things.
The third works but that’s it. It was a buggy mess when it got into early access but the second developer that took it over did good work.
You are right. The atmosphere and that you did not have to micro manage so much stuff made it into a really great and relaxing game.
I loved to play it over lan with my friends.
Or as a true Guild player describes it: “keeping save game backups and doing regular checks to figure out if the game state is still in sync”. “The Guild” was the reason I got a “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature” T-Shirt for LAN parties.
And don’t get me wrong: I am saying the game is SO GOOD it was totally worth all that trouble. I wish so hard for someone to release/leak the source code some time so someone with enough pain tolerance can try to rework the network stack. Or maybe a remaster of that game. It has a so much better feeling than its successors.
I would buy four copies if they would make a remaster/remake with the possibility to play over the internet. Damn… gonna install it again and I will start looking at creating a vpn server.
In my experience the sync issues get much worse over VPN. The implementation seems to be extremely timing sensitive.
Oh and over the internet you don’t have the chance to quickly look over to your pals monitors to notice that their current court hearing scene looks different from yours (at which point you can alt+f4 and look for the last good savegame).
thats a shame… Then i will have to play solo.
The Binding of Isaac
Or Slay the Spire, if I want a turn based game.
You should check out Across the Obelisk, it’s a beefed up version of StS and I really think it’s heavily overlooked
It’s on my steam wishlist, now. Thank you for the recommendation.
