I’m a Pirate Solitaire enjoyer, because I’m a Zachtronics freak lol
Yeah, when it’s
20+ RANK, NO GOLD MINING, NO ENGI NUKE
vs
havin a gay old time
you usually pick the second one if you want a better experience lol
Tbf, though, while I do my best to be noob friendly, I’ve had a moment recently when there were, like, 3 greenbeard scouts in the random group I was playing with that were doing jack. I guess I was in a bad mood that day, so I just host-disbanded that game. Kinda feel bad about that still lol
I really wanted to suggest Nier Replicant, but, seeing as you didn’t like Automata, I guess there’s no point. I enjoyed both, though, since I kind of was in a specific headspace the time I played them. I also took both at face value initially, which has helped
Other than that, may I suggest Beacon Pines? It’s all about the story, so I think you’ll love it. The way you discover different branching paths the story takes is also quite novel.
I also loved FAR: Lone Sails. It’s more of a “show, don’t tell” kinda story
There’s also this itchio game I found once – Under a star called Sun. It’s super short, though
Out of all that I could’ve suggested, Ace Attorney series probably fits the bill the most
EDIT: Also, Lunacid! Finished it recently; what a beautiful experience it has been
EDIT2: Also, Beacon Pines! For the love of all that is holy on this bitch of a planet, please play it
Haven’t played anything these last several days, save a little bit of Cogmind. I don’t really enjoy traditional roguelikes, because there’s usually no real incentive to play them (i.e. story, atmosphere, engaging gameplay etc.), and, honestly, I just suck at them lol. But I do keep coming back to that one, because it’s just so immersive! And, for some reason, I get Blame! vibes from it; I guess it’s because of the whole abandoned facility full of robots thing.
Some other things I’m planning to do:
Tried looking for a full feature list, couldn’t find any. Makes sense, tho, because it would probably be massive.
I’ve tried SoH before, and my favourite features are 60 FPS gameplay and gyro aiming. It also has a bunch of enhancements like time savers (faster test speed, “Better Owl”, time travel using the Song of Time, etc.), alternate assets (= mod support!), bunch of fixes and cut gameplay restoration. If you stream, it also has Crowd Control support. It even has a co-op mode now lol. As for the randomizer stuff, it has an item and check tracker, and a lot of settings for it.
I recommend you just check it out yourself or, alternatively, watch some video on YT that goes more in-depth on the features
I use Firefox’ built-in password manager; anything else is a hassle to use tbh
