Trackmania is really good and there is a Free Edition to play I've been digging. There is some Royal mode where you puzzle/platform your car to the end of levels and compete vs other teams at the same time.

What else is good out there but not some huge time commitment?

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
I've been playing A Monster's Expedition some

It's one of those puzzle games where the rules look super simple (you knock down trees and push the logs around to make bridges) but there's a lot of interesting tricks to the system that you only realize once you get into it.

It's not too hard and also extremely chill, and you can sit down on a shore at any point and your little monster will just relax while the camera zooms out and pleasant music plays

OpenTTD is still free to play like always, but it's also just available on Steam so you don't have to go through any BS to install and play it.

Sorry for ruining your weekend.

Splitgate is reel good; only thing it's missing is a dedicated server option for sustained shenanigans.

Got some world record speedruns so far in September, including a shortlived one in that new game 12 minutes. I dunno if I'll try to get that one back the competition is fierce, but I'll be improving the Sierra King's Quest VI record at least.

There's this new early access game called Farmer's Life which is like some weird mix of Farming Simulator and My Summer Car and I have been enjoying that even if it is super janky

Want to check out the new No Man's Sky patch

This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.


If you're looking for something beautiful and soothing, I'd recommend Find All, Cloud Gardens, and Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery. First is a hidden-object game, second is a landscaping game where you take industrial rubble and cover it with plants, third is a visual novel. All of them are great short games that leave you relaxed and refreshed. Find All is a buck, so what are you waiting for?

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
psychonauts 2 turned out real good

really looking forward to 3 coming out in 2037 or so

Pathfinder - Wrath of the Righteous is really good. I was telling the D&D thread about it this weekend.

Doesnt seem as buggy as the last pathfinder

I bought this last week after seeing this post, and I'm really happy with this game. It's great on my Switch since I can just chill on the couch or whatever. I'll probably try out some of the other Draknek games too.

There was a content update for Dread Templar that came out a few days ago and I've been diving deep into that whenever I get home from work.

Besides that the recent explosion of Quake online games with the remaster has been occupying a lot of time too.

It will be like AOEII, but all the Civs you want to play will be DLC content.

Why: it's good if you like Diablo, they did a great job porting something once thought 'unportable'.

Why Not: it keeps all the original mechanics from years ago which may not be your cup of tea, and the questionable morality of giving Blizzard money.

It's mostly giving Blizzard money that I'm struggling with, knowing that I'll be paying directly to the legal defense of sexpests :-/
