I've been playing Earthtongue which is a little ecosystem simulation sandbox game and I wonder if there are any other games like that. I also liked Cell Lab and Waking Mars a lot. I could give SimLife or SimEarth a try but most reviews claim they really are chore to play so if there's anything better that would be great. Spore is obviously not what I'm looking after.

Caufman posted:What are some unusual roguelikes that I might have missed over the years? I'm not super interested in going down a dungeon, but Liberal Crime Squad or Armoured Commander caught my attention, as well as survival roguelikes like UnReal World, Neo Scavanger and Cataclysm. Caves of Qud is great and is getting better every day

bloodclot posted:This post grew a little unwieldy, but if you can be bothered to suffer through it I'd appreciate some recommendations! That new Planescape game that's coming soon ; Numenera. Or Waking Mars, Limbo or Inside for shorter games. Those two have very neat atmospheres. Other possible recommendations could be Dishonored or Abzu.

bloodclot posted:Thank you for the response! I've played Inside, which was impressive, but it left me feeling underwhelmed by Limbo (I probably should have played it first). I've had my eye on Abzu for some time but I was waiting to see what the general reception was before buying it. I haven't heard of Waking Mars, but the concept of studying an ancient extraterrestrial ecosystem has me intrigued. I think I'll be picking this one up! I really loved Waking Mars. It clicks all the right buttons for me; hard sci-fi, metroidvania, ecosystem sandbox. Abzu on the other hand is more of a contemplative experience about exploring beautiful aquatic landscapes, swimming with manta rays and plesiosaurs and discovering some lore. That's pretty much it. It's short and not challenging, but it's a cool eye-candy, especially on a big screen with a controller.

She like playing co-op games with my brother, and her two current favorite games are Left 4 Dead 2 and Don't Starve Together. She tried Factorio but she doesn't seem to like it as much as Don't Starve. My brother also got her the Borderlands franchise but they haven't gotten around to playing it.

No finishing moves as such, but you won't miss them when you're diving down a flight of stairs in slow-mo, firing akimbo uzis at a gas tank. Also best use of a constipated face in a video game imho

Purple Monkey posted:I haven't read any reviews for Dawn of War 3, what's wrong with it? I liked the first one and Dark Crusade but wasn't keen on changes they made to 2 Judging from the user reviews they removed many of the things that made their early RTS like DoW and CoH original and interesting games (customization, dynamic campaign, destructible cover and morale, sync kills) and increased the annoying ones (too much micro, elite units too powerful) Of course it's all subjective, some will say they tried to make it more of a Starcraft/MOBA mix and those are not bad games at all. Just don't expect a modern DoW 1 SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 11:55 on May 4, 2017 |

Fruits of the sea posted:This is confusing because I liked all of the elements you listed, including the excessive micro and crazy boss units. Then again Dark Crusade is the only rts I've played where I wished I could zoom further out in order to micro properly. It was always a struggle against the UI, and it sounds like the devs couldn't figure out how to improve on it. There are people who like the game and say it's good so maybe it's worth a shot for you

Police Automaton posted:Recommend me something incredibly complicated that will have tons of game mechanics and will break my brain with complexity and detail teetering on the unnecessary. Something in the vein of Dwarf Fortress maybe. Building games like Space Engineers, Minecraft etc. don't really count, else the genre doesn't matter. I also know Cataclysm:DDA and all the paradox games like Crusder Kings II, Stellaris etc.. The other recommendations are already good and I will add the Zachtronics game. Infinifactory and Spacechem don't have tons of mechanics but they can be devilishly complicated. TIS-100 and Shenzen I/O though look so complex they frighten me.

K8.0 posted:1. Fun driving mechanics. Most games are either super arcadey or very strictly simmy. The problem with sim games is that the fun part of racing is driving as hard as possible, but once you cross the edge of control you're done. I'm looking for something where there's play on both sides of that line, and adaptation to be made. sounds like F-Zero GX

Tuxedo Catfish posted:I enjoy Cataclysm: DDA quite a bit, but the developers have long since disappeared up their own asses, leaving the half-finished endgame untouched and in the mean time just adding more and more busy work / maintenance to the process of survival. ("You have to keep your character clean or they won't be happy! You have to eat a balanced diet or you'll get scurvy!" etc.) I have my eyes on The Long Dark but since it's still in development I haven't jumped in yet. Your post made me want to try their sandbox survival mode

basalt posted:I like to indulge in games with small, focused narratives (and optionally, interesting puzzles or environments to explore) while slowly working my way through more traditional games centered around combat and ever-increasing numbers. Unfortunately, while games with hundreds of hours of content are seemingly everywhere, more compact experiences are harder to find. I've been playing a lot of Elder Scrolls Online lately, and have been itching for something with a bolder creative direction to break up the monotony that MMORPGs often entail.

basalt posted:This is second time Waking Mars has been suggested to me in this thread, although last time I decided not to purchase it after some hesitation. What did you like about it? The feeling of exploring and trying to understand an alien ecosystem, playing with it, and eventually becoming part of a larger plot. Though the game is not very long, I enjoyed every minute of it so much that I replayed it twice.

credburn posted:Hey dudes, what's a really good old-school first-person four-person-party turn-based dungeon crawler a la Wizardry, Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, etc. that I can play on my Android? I've already played through Legend of Grimrock and that was pretty swell, but I'm really looking for something specifically turn-based. Also: not free. Microtransactions and the mobile game standards are infuriating to me. I don't want to juggle "energy" or "fuel" or "torch light" or whatever the gently caress, I don't want a ten thousand gold bonus for logging in two days in a row, and I don't want to tell all my friends about my game. I just want to play a game as though it were a game and didn't feel like a scam. I've read a few times that "The Quest" exactly fits your bill and is good (e: not four-person-party though)
