Regency Solitaire is pretty cool. This thread turned me onto Faerie Solitaire back in the day and Regency Solitaire is that same almost mindless goodness. A good break game when Hexcells breaks your brain.

Yep, I haven't actually opened up a game in steam for a few months (other than Gems of War) because I took the Doom I & II WADs and use them in ZDoom. There is so much content out there for the engine you will never run out. Which probably isn't a good thing for goons in the steam thread

I've been playing the original Roller Coaster Tycoon and good lord, the guests vomit constantly. I think I'll try a park with nothing but shuttle coasters, swinging ships, and drop towers and not hire any handymen and see if I can make the whole park nothing but vomit. Put a do not enter sign in behind the park entrance and create a hell scape of vomit. So I guess I'm saying Roller Coaster Tycoon is still fun!

This is a good one, a good change of pace from banging my head against Nuclear Throne because it's a little closer to Binding of Isaac in the speed. You can make totally overpowered combos like Isaac, too.

Things I bought during the sale: Quake Pack I've only played the original Quake and it's first mission pack so far, and it has already been worth the price. I never got the chance to play this back in the day, but had been playing the poo poo out of Doom 1+2 and custom WADs earlier in 2016. The first is a big leap from Doom. They're obviously old school FPS but the shooting feels great and the level design is top notch. Not sure I can say anything that hasn't been said, but definitely worth a look if you haven't ever played them! The big development here is 3D enemies, the addition of an official jump button, and probably a bunch of level mapping stuff I don't understand. Invisible Inc. I haven't gotten to play this one as much as I would like, but the game overwhelmed me towards the end of my first campaign even though I had it set to the easiest difficulty setting. I played Mark of the Ninja and love roguelikes, so it took me by surprise! This is a turn-based, team tactical espionage game set in a cyberpunk future with randomized missions. Figuring out how to get of the poo poo situation you just put yourself in is fun and there are many different options for developing your characters through augmentations, their skills, and inventory. There is a lot of resource management in the later levels and you have to decide what is worth hacking with your limited power supplies. A tough game that I can see myself playing on and off for an extended period of time. Disgaea Another old game I never had the chance to play back in the day. I had heard this was a serviceable port, and I had also heard it was a bad port. I turned off all the new graphics and this runs well on my integrated graphics card laptop with no noticeable glitches through Episode 5. This "Strategy" JRPG scratches an itch that I didn't know I still had. You can grind away any problem, but I've been having fun keeping my team at a level where the fights are difficult. The geopanel and throwing mechanics are the stars here and give you more possible solutions to a lot of problems than most turn based strategy RPGs.

If anyone else was bashing their heads up against Snakebird, turn on the grid in the options if you haven't. That option really helped me think about the solution I wanted and solve a few of the harder levels. I'm actually thinking I'll be able to beat all of the levels without spoilers now, only have a few cloud levels and what I assume is one final level once they're done.

So I'm getting a new computer, after not having one that can run new games for like 10 years. I've played a bunch of indie games that were able to run on laptops with integrated graphics cards. I have a few games to try out through bundles (and buying DOOM while it was on sale this weekend). Outside of this list, what are the absolute best of the best from the last 5 years or so? CoD: Black Ops III Dark Souls II DOOM Dragon's Dogma Metro 2033 Mirror's Edge Red Faction: Armageddon Shadow Warrior Civ 5 Sonic & All-Stars Racing Total War: WARHAMMER The Witness XCOM 2

Alright, so these are the games recommended so far and looks like an awesome list: Ori and the Blind Forest Prey Dishonored METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE MGS 5 Shadow Warrior 2 Metro Last Night Wolfenstein: TNO Nier Automata Talos Principle Vanquish Bayonetta My first list was games I already own from the Humble Monthly and other random bundles, so no big deal if they aren't the best games.

Phlegmish posted:Agreed on Dragon's Dogma. I actually have Dragon's Dogma from the Humble Monthly, and I'll be getting PoE from it this month. Added Divinity to the wishlist cause I remember lots of people recommending it. I went through and culled out some games from my wishlist that I'll never get to and added in the games goons recommended and my wishlist is still 32 games. That's a little babies list compared to some in this thread but drat, it would take me so long to play through all of them.

I haven't played a modern FPS since CoD: Black Ops on console so DOOM is blowing my loving mind. I can't even handle playing more than 1 level at once it's just too much.

anilEhilated posted:Get Prey afterwards, you'll have your mind blown twice over. I'll eventually get to it, but since I just spent a pretty penny on a new computer, I'm going to let the games come to me cheap. I have a bunch of stuff to catch up on! I assume it'll drop in price somewhat soon, since it seems to have not sold that well and I already got DOOM for 15 bucks.

Phlegmish posted:Which graphics card and processor did you end up getting? I got a Ryzen 1400 and Radeon RX 580. I bought a pre-built from Microcenter cause it has been years since I had a desktop. When I was looking around, an NVIDIA card would probably be better value but I got tired of waiting for the bitcoin market to crash.
