The Binding of Isaac. It is too addictive
I understand that this game is popular and has a significant fanbase. However, I’ve never played it. Could you share the features that drew you into playing this game? I’d like to enjoy it, but simply watching the gameplay didn’t suffice to persuade me.
The random generated dungeons and amount of different items do it for me. The game might have a steep learning curve initially though until you figure out the core mechanics
Cyberpunk. They fixed most of the issues the game had at launch. There’s a dlc coming out soon too that will add a bunch of hours, and with it they are reworking loads of mechanics for free. Can’t recommend it enough.

I did much of the same thing
It turns out building a better pc and playing cyberpunk has the same effect as walking around a city on acid.
Who would’ve thought
There’s so much variation… I do the same, wandering around at night, just looking around.
One time I found myself in some dilapidated area with oil derrigs (the big pumps idk wht they’re called) and it was all foggy, almost monochrome. mud everywhere.
It was so beautiful.
The problems I have with cyberpunk stem more from the story. It’s depressing and has no real happy ending, just an array of at best bittersweet possible endings. Maybe the new DLC will fix that but otherwise it’s a bit too much art imitating life for me.
Ahh I love that part. Feels like a nice change of pace that the best ending (for me) is open ended with a little bit of hope. Don’t want to spoil for anyone else reading which ending I mean, but I like that it doesn’t wrap up in a fully positive way
See I like that one, I just wish it weren’t the happiest option. Bittersweet is great for movies but for the best option in a video game that you pour hours into, it can be a bit of a letdown.

FTL. Theme song triggers ptsd in my wife.
Zombies vs Plants.
Rimworld
RimWorld is a time machine. I start it up and then look at the clock and I’m 5 hours in the future.
I’ve once started a colony right before exams period. It was tough.

Rollercoaster Tycoon / OpenRCT2
Transport Tycoon Deluxe / OpenTTD
While they do now have multiplayer modes thanks to their corresponding open source projects, I still think the spirit of these games is firmly in the single player pc game category. Best of all they’re both free and available on any OS!
Binding of Isaac
+1. Just turned 300hours corner, and I’m not done at all.
Cyberpunk 2077 story
I didn’t care about the hype before it was released, then I waited when I heard about all the bugs and tried it in 1.6. The game is really good when you take it for what it is, rather than what you or others think it should have been.
thats the problem i personally had with it. overpromises and underdeliverances, even after the patches
I bought at the same time as you. Waited it out. for me, it was pretty true to the pen and paper game - which I enjoyed. And I loved the story. 10/10 for me.I rarely stick with games. I’m not much of a gamer. The only games I’ve played through start to finish are Super Mario 64, Neverwinter Nights (PC), CP2077, and Hogwarts Legacy. I tend to play sports or shooters, so it takes a lot for me to stick something out to completion.
The Binding of Isaac. One of the GOATs for me.
Dwarf Fortress is beautiful.
This is my answer. Donated to Toady1 a couple times, then bought it on steam.
Same here, donated to Toady and played for years before moving to masterwork DF, and years there too. Once the keyboard only mode is added to the steam version I’m sure I’ll be playing for years there too!
Rogue Legacy 2
If you enjoy platformers and roguelikes, you’ll like this.

Get the wings mod if you don’t already. Such a game changer.
Is the AI blocks work with wings mod? I’m a more or less vanilla player.
That’s a really good question, I think they should, as the AI just works with what it’s given and if that means less thrusting then it’s probably happier.
It makes long distance vehicles feel a lot better too. It inspired me to make a runway, add the speed mod and then set the max speed to 300m/s.
