Gaming

Project Zomboid, even though I'm not into zombie lore.

• Isometric perspective graphics, one of my favorite game perspectives
• Open world, open-ended, sandbox play with enough of a game objective to not be boring
• Hardcore survival with deep, often surprising mechanics
• Amazing multiplayer experiences
• Loads of suspense and tension
• Constant development from a small, totally independent team
• Incredible array of community mods

I would love to see other games in the same vein using other scenarios besides zombies, like maybe warzone survival, etc.

Outer Wilds, it has exactly everything I love. I wish I could play it again for the first time, though being unable to do that is one of the reasons I love it

I highly recommend it, it's great, just don't spoil yourself by watching things, even the trailers honestly

Noita right now ⚗️

Trailer

Mission lists (New ones in work, can be downloaded and added from the Game menu)

DiRT Rally 2 was this for me

Celeste

Right now? The remaster of Soul Reaver 1/2. Now i just need someone to do the rest of the series.

En Garde! and Slay the Princess

Both scratch very specific itches for me

The quest for glory series was my favorite in its time. I still replay it every now and then

Siralim Ultimate. It’s like Pokémon but your party is essentially a machine built from passive effect interactions and the gameplay is like Diablo.

Absolute hidden gem.

Monster Hunter in general has me like this

Currently playing Shadow Man Remastered and I'm feeling this way about it. I always wanted to try it as a kid but never had the chance and it's better than I ever expected.

Kerbal space program.

The one game I consistently keep coming back to... For over a decade.

Final fantasy 14

aaaaxy. non-euclidean madness.

Strange Flesh, but in a more literal sense, to a subby bottom bear.

Descenders

Idk why. Well, I do know why: I grew up in an era where Flash games started to do physics-based gameplay, and something about that just made them endlessly replayable and easy to do while focusing on something else like a lecture or whatever.

So many games these days demand your full attention. And that’s great, when you have time for it. But if I just have 45 minutes to derp around while I catch up with friends on Discord, I can’t dive into an epic boss fight that I was prepping for a month ago.

Kingdom Come Deliverance. Low fantasy, no map marker (in hard mode), no superhumans or anything too fancy...

Factorio.

Everything—the gameplay, the music, the art style—feels like I hand selected it. There’s not a single decision the devs made that I wouldn’t have made too.

Thief: The Dark Project.

It's everything I could ever want.

• Excellent story perfectly meshed with the gameplay.
• A strange high-technology medieval world.
• Incredible level design combined with realistic roughly drawn maps, forcing you to take in your surroundings and build your own map.
• Variety of gameplay, ranging from infiltrating a rich baron's mansion to rob them blind, to delving into ancient crypts filled with odd creatures and an alien culture for some adventurous tomb raiding, to some of the most terrifying pants filling survival horror I've yet encountered.

It is, in my opinion, perfection.
