PoE1 was very good, 2 in theory should have been better but ended up feeling a bit soulless imo, they streamlined away all the janky DnD stuff but didn't really add anything back. The added turn based mode had so much potential but the initiative implementation sucks.

what's the janky DnD stuff you liked?

MGSV back on deep discount, I bought this on a whim in 2019 and I got a lot of fun out of it. Yes the story is a broken truncated mess and it has auteur weirdness slathered all over it but the core gameplay is really well done.

I like having loads of classes and weird spells with massively varying degrees of usefulness. It's fun coming up with your own way to approach the game - I think for this reason I prefer Kingmaker over both of them.

Talos Principle was around 5 dollars on gog (think it still is). Would recommend. Just started playing for the first time and it’s a nice change.

senua was cool. the perception puzzles were extremely on point for the theme of the game. not too long either which is for the best

7.50 on gog currently, well worth it for that price

i'm sure the first gen will be ludicrous but i expect a reasonable pricing within the next five years or so. people assumed the first ipad would be insanelt priced, too, and it...wasn't.

poe2 was a ton of fun and i quite liked the story, but they added turn-based after i did my playthrough and i'm struggling to justify a second run

even with the mod it's bad because lots of abilities/skills/weapons are garbage in turn based so balance is off

I had a dream where I was pacman in some sort of first person FPS and I had to fight the ghosts hand to hand using a dance dance revolution style move pattern to beat them up.

I remember thinking 'this would actually be a really good game' but the power pills were actual irl drugs so it would probably get banned

try more narrative games or something that is otherwise a changeup. maybe something simple but difficult like hotlines miami
