Rocket League. Games are quick, you can play one or many in a session. I don’t know if epic has ruined it yet, but last I played the good old core game was still there.

chance + stakes = gambling
chance + nothing = chance

Yeah lol learning poker hands is all it does, which is trivial. The hard part of gambling is learning odds and how to bet. There is a little bit of odds calculation in the game, but it’s incredibly unrealistic with all the modifiers, and they change on each run.

Excuse me. This was one of the greatest RTS and 40k games of all time, and I will accept no other answers.

Death Stranding is one of my favorite games of all time that I will recommend to literally nobody.

Fuck I mixed up my board game doll companies lol

I didn’t even know this was a thing. It would not have been great, and may have been good, but Naughty Dog doesn’t really seem to be in the camp of settling for good

Yeah… that trait isn’t limited to Reddit users

Was always a big fan, but the steam deck has me playing a handful of new indie games every month, and it’s fucking awesome. So many little gems, so many unique ideas, for way less money, way less time invested, way less SERIOUS BUSINESS.

You may not agree, but they are right. We are not most people. They want, and they have, that sweet “lowest common denominator” market, and they will take advantage of that until something else generates more cash. The “lowest common denominator” demand more CoD and whatnot. They don’t care if it’s bad, because them and all their friends will buy it and perhaps even have some fun. The big studios converging on vapid cash grabs instead of creating interesting content is depressing, sure, but hardly surprising in a world where morals and ethics don’t matter, where you can get away with the absolute most heinous, reprehensible acts, and suffer zero consequences.

I don’t really care though. The indie scene is unaffected by this, and has only gotten better every year for as long as it has been around. It’s fucking GLORIOUS already, and it’s not going anywhere because it’s not run by an oligarchy of publicly traded shitfactories.

I’ll be honest, I just look at the steam store page for the game. If the initial impression from the images is good, and it’s a genre I want to play right now, I watch one or two of the videos and read a few top reviews. Then I just go for it. I don’t watch streams or anything. I am usually perusing indie games so it’s at most like $20 on the line, not the end of the world if I hate it, or if it needs a few years of patches to feel worth playing.

It’s gotta suck being the director of the next MGS game knowing that everyone knows you aren’t Kojima.

It’s definitely worth a play, though even the remake does feel a bit dated in the gameplay department. The storytelling more than makes up for that though!

It’s pretty good, definitely nails the aesthetic, has a few “oooooh shit!” moments— super worth the $20 if you like puzzle games. It’s extremely linear, because it has to be when you think about it, so prepare to solve puzzle after puzzle until the game ends, with zero sense of exploration. Given the lack of exploration I don’t know if I would have liked it after more than the 5 or so hours it took to beat. None of this means that the game is BAD, it just might not be what you expect. Still absolutely recommend to those who enjoy puzzles n vibes

TAKE! CONTROL!

Oh fuck yeah loved me some Titan Quest

if
big company
then
because money

zero part of this is good will.

Somehow, Neopets returned

Wish I could play again for the first time, enjoy 🥲

Did you know you can just play and enjoy games because you want to, and because you like them?

Oh man, if solid apps like this can tighten the experience with the polish of their old Reddit clients, this shit is gonna be lit

Bless your heart web apps, but this is needed so badly. Can you imagine the power of this now that the backend is entirely owned by the public?!
