Othercide sounds like the polar opposite of Troubleshooter.

Do you have the link for that? I checked like the first half dozen pages and didn't see it.

I didn’t see it either and it didn’t turn up in search, but someone posted about it in another thread recently, so here you go: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3655873&perpage=40&noseen=1

Yeah, I guess it was Early Access or something. Weird.

The game is fun enough. I haven’t played a ton, but I’ve enjoyed fiddling in the world. The main quest line isn’t much to speak of.

Back in the NES days you couldn't make games long with more content (except for RPGs), so the best way to increase the playtime of what you had was to increase the difficulty.

Tell that to Elite!

A friend of mine wrote the original Rogue, and IIRC his take on it is “I made a fun game with lots of replayability due to random generation, and if someone else made a fun game and wants to reference mine that’s super”.

World of Haiku

100% positive based on 4 reviews. I'm always skeptical of games that claim to be anything but entertaining (and even that's a bit of a stretch sometimes), but who knows?

Me too! Asked some security friends for their take, I’m curious what they’ll think.

E: I see that you did too!

And generally I skip bigger games but I'll just mention that Age of Wonders 4 came out to seemingly positive acclaim.

Multiplayer is suffering from a crushed server (it’s 2023, learn 2 cloud), so if that’s your jam then maybe wait a week or two.

One of the games suggested character builds is "man with big stick and no friends", so I (perhaps naively) assumed that such a thing would be a viably entertaining way to play it.

Yeah from the RPG thread it sounds like that would be viable and entertaining after you’ve mastered the game.

Someone said that it was a chud game and I don’t doubt it, but I read over the store page and really I would have no idea from that description. Is there some dog-whistling phrase there that I’m not picking up?

The Tarkovsky 1979 Stalker movie is pretty good (100% fresh on RT!) but it is not a typical sci-fi movie at all.

Has no one posted this one? It seems pretty cool but it is kind of getting mixed reviews due to early access bugs, but the bad reviews still seem mixed on it. It uses real world maps so you can set your base at your real life neighborhood if you want. I don't own it yet so I can't comment more on it.

There’s a free demo/“prologue” for 8 days that offers 6 cities. It’s probably more polished than the game in general, but could be a way to see what it’s like:
