Game Recommendations & Identification
1 Year of Service
Here's a few recommendations, focused mostly on lesser-known/indie stuff:
Horizon's Gate (
Brotato (
Boneraiser Minions (
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (): Another good game that doesn't require a lot of focus. Best played with others, plenty fun alone.
Disco Elysium (): RPG with a HEAVY focus on story/dialogue. Don't bother unless you enjoy reading, but if you do, know that what's there is outstanding. Among the best of its kind, but again, story-centric with no real "combat" of the traditional kind. Think they had some controversy regarding the developers being screwed over somehow but I haven't followed that story too closely.
Akane (): May look the same as Brotato/Boneraiser but much, much harder. (Mostly) one-hit-kill-and-be-killed, no room to fuck up, Cyberpunk setting, you're just one badass with a sword and a gun in a fight to the death.
Age of Wonders 4 (): Great 4X strategy game with a heavy emphasis on turn-based combat and crazy replay value. If making a race of undead frog-people that ride eagles and are led by a lightning dragon sounds fun to you, check it out.
Pillars of Eternity 2 (): CRPG with real-time-with-pause combat, my favorite of its kind. Story-focused, and while it certainly helps I don't think playing the first is necessary. Fantastic combat, great graphics, great story, sail around and level up your weapons, bind a few to your soul, including a talking sword (that you find in a death pit near a giant bug) before reuniting it with its owner, and after that maybe look for a ghost ship before fighting a couple gods, or maybe their avatars.

): Watch the trailer. If you don't vibe with it just skip this one, as it's easy for people to be turned off by the graphics, but the song sold me on first watch. Turn-based pixel graphics RPG, big world to explore via sailing, has a "jobs" based class system ala Final Fantasy Tactics and a lot of interactivity (think laying down a simple plank bridge, or using magic to "grow" a vine to climb). Great game that has a few dedicated modders that have added depth and breadth to it. A tip: bind the "Look" action to an extra mouse button or something easy to access, you should be using it a lot.Brotato (

): One of the better "Vampire Survivors/bullet-heaven" games out. Great if you just want to zone out or listen to some music/an audiobook/a podcast. It'll soon have an update to include co-op and some DLC, so that's nice.Boneraiser Minions (

): Same as above, a great bullet-heaven game, lots to unlock, including different ways to play.Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons (): Another good game that doesn't require a lot of focus. Best played with others, plenty fun alone.

Lessons in Love. At least half of that time is spent in confusion, but that's part of the game.

Many new games today will start very good but then it just disappoint you or get abandoned so better not get to hype about it.

I think for me it is WVM. I used to replay that game a lot, it's one of the very few games I have played all the way through more than once. At one point the dev told me I might know more about his game than he did. I know the updates are slow, but it is still one of my favorites.

Never went back to the xxx games I passed once. Too low quality. But I have returned to Heroes of Might and Magic III many times in a quarter of a century.

A Mother and Wife. A game comparable to Japan birthrate.
