I feel like this gem of a game has pretty much been forgotten. Never expected to see someone mention it. Very atmospheric and one of my favorite walking simulator games.

Give Vintage Story a shot. It’s Minecraft as a survival game and much more than that.

Looks beautiful too.

I just can’t get excited for GTA anymore after V, especially with the shark code floodgates being open with that entry.

Even with all of the good parts of V, I just found the game to be really boring and bland. Might have to do with the setting itself as early 2000s are just nowhere near as interesting as the 80s and 90s were.

The humor in SA was over the top but never unfunny. Like a playble mashup of all the best stoner movies from that era.

I have no doubt that VI will look good and probably play good (IV had a much more interesting physics model than V imo) beyond that I expect it to be in the same ballapark as V was.

I’ve seen quite a few mods making it even more immersive. Also seems to be quite playable on the steam deck even with mods.

Thanks for the reply.

How's Minecraft as a singleplayer chill game? Been debating on getting it, just to explore and survive pretty much.

Seems like it can go a long way.

Played it on my switch a few months ago after many years, still holds up beautifully. The radio stations are spot on and, just like you said, the low poly graphics (even on the DE) are so easy on the eyes.

WoW, but with short and longer breaks. It’s a massive time sink, and I simply do not have the time that WoW demands in order to accomplish most of the things.

It can be an enjoyment, can be fun, can also cause you to burnt out so fast.

 

I was looking at getting some roguelikes / lites (already have ToME, CoQ), unfortunately Cataclysm DDA is not on sale.

Krone Hotel at 90% off looks like a decent choice too. Then there’s Jupiter Hell, which I recently stumbled upon and looks great too.

I’d also like to get some of the FF games, though I’ve played VI, VII, IX and a bit of XII, it would be nice to revisit some of the older ones I haven’t played almost since the PSX era.
