Palworld. Just need a few more materials to build the thing to unlock more things to collect materials for…
My own- working on an early access release for the first 2027 Steam Nextfest. Designing levels and balancing the movement mechanics has got me playing these levels dozens (sometimes hundreds) of times!
I played Rimworld again last night for the first time in months, and now I just want to get back to it.
I think I’m too stupid for that game. It’s fun, but I can’t get anywhere with it, my colony of like 8 people is just stagnating in a place of barely alive and I can’t figure out how to get more resources because it won’t let me explore new regions more than once and I can’t figure out how to go into a region once, gather resources and get back to my camp without dying of starvation or have everyone in the exploring party suffer a total mental breakdown and go on a murdering spree. I think the concept is awesome and I’m clearly missing so much, it’s just way over my head. Maybe I need to start over from fresh and see if I have better luck.
It does have a steep learning curve, and I do think it is more enjoyable the more you get familiar with the systems. Yeah, sending caravans out can be very risky early on for many reasons.
For a first run, maybe choose a slightly easier difficulty (Community Builder), use the Phoebe Chillax storyteller, and pick a location on the planet that has a year-round growing season. And when choosing your starting colonists, I recommend someone with shooting, someone with construction, and maybe someone with cooking or plants. This way you can be relatively self-sufficient without needing to caravan.
Once you can caravan, I recommend trading/gifting to other factions to build goodwill. This will keep them from attacking you, and once you have a comms station, you can call them in to help with defense in a pinch. Note that some factions are always hostile, though.
When you do get raided, make sure your colonists are always firing from behind cover. When possible, try to gang up on isolated enemies and melee them down to increase the chance they are incapacitated (not killed), so you can capture them. Prisoners can either be slowly converted and recruited, or released for goodwill with their faction (or used for other fucked up stuff).
Good luck!
This week I put another 20 or so hours into Vintage Story. Recently got back from a trip to Ireland and am now recreating the ruins and castles I saw in-game
Just tried vintage story for the first time last week. I have like
1520 hours in 2 or 3 sittings.4-day edit: fucking hell, make that 30 hours in 5-6 sittings. Stay tuned for 6-7
Elite dangerous. It is so vast and there’s so much going on that it doesn’t feel like a game, it’s a second reality. I’ve been playing for months and I still have a bunch of brand new things to try out and master, which are going to be super fun.
I’ve got a big expedition coming up soon too, if I play enough I’ll see another 0.01% of the wonders the galaxy has to offer.
It fulfils my childhood dreams of exploring space, and there’s just so much it’s hard to stop
Just finished Big Walk, which was the most fun and unique co-op experience I’ve ever had. Also just finished onimusha which is like sekiro easy mode. And started the wow forever Beta. Good gaming this month. Also I started another Celeste play thru for reasons I myself do not fully understand.
Satisfactory. I’m a Factorio native, ~1k hours. It’s been really fun to see the drastically different approaches to things, in terms of designing a factory game. Factorio will always be my true love, but every time I play Satisfactory I find myself just oogling the beauty of the game. The sense of scale is overwhelming, the 3d aspect gets rid of a lot of restrictions that I’m accustomed to and makes building a factory feel more like art than I ever thought it could be.
Satisfactory is also a much younger game than Factorio, so I’m excited to see how it matures. I really love the early access update experience.
Rimworld, always Rimworld
Try dwarf fortress if you haven’t yet
It is good advice, thank you. I hardly dare to. Several thousand hours has gone into Rimworld already
Recently had a renewed addiction to binding of isaac. It’s been so fun and hair pullingly frustrating lol
Currently I wanna say Retro Rewind. First time really getting into one of these business management games and I can’t stop thinking of all the ways I wanna improve my store.
Ninigrams on my phone. Nearly finished the hard puzzles and not looking forward to going cold turkey
Ballionnaire
Roguelites are my weakness. This is so dumb and simple. I just enjoy finding synergies that get ge breaking scores.
Even while I’m trying to get to Silksong act 3 right now, I still keep jumping back to Ballionnaire.
You’ve gotta try Peglin if you haven’t.
Thanks. Wishlisted. Video makes it look like it’s exactly my kinda game.
Approximately Up
Once I start, it’s really hard to put down. My only gripe is that you never have enough signal cable. It limits all the cool stuff you could build.
Slay the Spire 2. I’m attempting to beat all ascensions in a row without dying, and my best streak is A8 defect. I am 400 hours in the game.
The problem is I suck at defect. It is a character I find really difficult to play and according to my stats it has killed my runs %45 of the time, which is a lot when you consider there is 5 characters.
