Both are great games, with 1 being a little rough around the edges but still very playable. The gameplay is different enough that it’s worth playing them both imo. Story might be better if you play 1 first, but I played through 2 first, then went back later to play 1 and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

I probably vehemently disagree with some recommendations to play BG 1 and 2 btw, your mileage may vary. It requires very specific builds and knowledge of DnD, or lots of trial and error. You can easily build a well rounded group and find yourself unable to progress because of lacking one very specific thing. If that doesn’t sound to annoying, it might be worth a shot. If nothing else, rolling characters is fun.


I didn’t see these in the list:

Wyldermyth - indie fairly unique story building campaign with turn based tactical combat.

Wastelands 3 - post apocalyptic RPG with good story, choices, and characters. Great tactical turn based combat. Other than the other Larian games this is closest to filling the BG 3 shaped hole.

Halo Master Chief Collection; 1 - 3, Reach, and ODST are amazing co-op. We’ve played through all of them multiple times. 4 is… disappointing.


Wow, that’s one more season that I knew about, assumed it’d never go beyond the first.




For a long time I’ve thought we just need a left hand joystick to pair with mouse. Could still have a thumb hat too. It would probably break my brain trying to mix all the different muscle memory maps though.


Yep, that was a good game too. Different focus, and a fairly linear story. Part of what made Baldur’s Gate 3 so good was of course the amazing characters and character development. Solasta is missing that, but still a very solid and complete DnD game.


Torchlight 2

It’ll run well on just about anything (both hardware and OS) and its co-op multiplayer is quite fun.

Also regularly on sale for 5 or 10 USD.


When the Assassin’s Creed franchise develops a VR game, will the player have to use a VR version of a gamepad? Or will the player finally just be able to play the game?
