      I understand that this game is popular and has a significant fanbase. However, I’ve never played it. Could you share the features that drew you into playing this game? I’d like to enjoy it, but simply watching the gameplay didn’t suffice to persuade me.

        The random generated dungeons and amount of different items do it for me. The game might have a steep learning curve initially though until you figure out the core mechanics

      I didn’t care about the hype before it was released, then I waited when I heard about all the bugs and tried it in 1.6. The game is really good when you take it for what it is, rather than what you or others think it should have been.

        I bought at the same time as you. Waited it out. for me, it was pretty true to the pen and paper game - which I enjoyed. And I loved the story. 10/10 for me.I rarely stick with games. I’m not much of a gamer. The only games I’ve played through start to finish are Super Mario 64, Neverwinter Nights (PC), CP2077, and Hogwarts Legacy. I tend to play sports or shooters, so it takes a lot for me to stick something out to completion.

    Rollercoaster Tycoon / OpenRCT2

    Transport Tycoon Deluxe / OpenTTD

    While they do now have multiplayer modes thanks to their corresponding open source projects, I still think the spirit of these games is firmly in the single player pc game category. Best of all they’re both free and available on any OS!

    Cyberpunk. They fixed most of the issues the game had at launch. There’s a dlc coming out soon too that will add a bunch of hours, and with it they are reworking loads of mechanics for free. Can’t recommend it enough.

      The problems I have with cyberpunk stem more from the story. It’s depressing and has no real happy ending, just an array of at best bittersweet possible endings. Maybe the new DLC will fix that but otherwise it’s a bit too much art imitating life for me.

        Ahh I love that part. Feels like a nice change of pace that the best ending (for me) is open ended with a little bit of hope. Don’t want to spoil for anyone else reading which ending I mean, but I like that it doesn’t wrap up in a fully positive way

          See I like that one, I just wish it weren’t the happiest option. Bittersweet is great for movies but for the best option in a video game that you pour hours into, it can be a bit of a letdown.

          There’s so much variation… I do the same, wandering around at night, just looking around.

          One time I found myself in some dilapidated area with oil derrigs (the big pumps idk wht they’re called) and it was all foggy, almost monochrome. mud everywhere.

          It was so beautiful.

    Rogue Legacy 2

    If you enjoy platformers and roguelikes, you’ll like this.

        Same here, donated to Toady and played for years before moving to masterwork DF, and years there too. Once the keyboard only mode is added to the steam version I’m sure I’ll be playing for years there too!

      I tried a couple of times but I can’t seem to progress anywhere past Joppa. I think I’ve seen red rock once. Anyway, I Either die or I get lost or somehow lose interest in it. Would be really cool if someone could tell me how to actually play the game, what to do when and how and what the overall goal/story is

        I’ve always had a soft spot for Caves of Qud, I love exploring in games and it never disappoints :)
        Just don’t go to Red Rock straight away, it’s way too tough to do that one. Talk to the inventor guy (Argive I think?) and do some quests for him.
        Also, there’s no shame in playing the easier Roleplay or Wanderer modes. It’s all about having fun in the end!

        Talk to the zealot in Joppa, get the quest to go to the Stilt, then kill the zealot (you won’t get in trouble for it), take his book, then raid the three chests in the enclosed rooms (shut the door behind you first!)

        That’ll give you some stuff to trade.

        Then go up to the Stilt - it’s a long trek but you get like four levels worth of experiencre from that quest just for showing up!
