Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
It’s one of those games I love but haven’t actually finished because I always want to try a new character. Pushing myself to stick with one to the end this time. I got the season pass 2, and there’s a recent DLC that sounds like the local equivalent of Mass Effect 3’s Citadel DLC.
Help, the Factorio expansion has taken hold of me and will not let go!
No cure has been found yet for factorio.
The only cure is to burn out the addiction with more factory.
I’ve found the perfect method to take a break from Factorio is to apply Satisfactory and a dash of Techtonica.
I say break, because there’s no stopping Factorio. I’m afraid it’s chronic.
How is it?
It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you, it’s amazing.
I’d highly recommend beating the base game first if you haven’t already. The complexity really ramps up quite a bit, so if you struggle with the base game, it might be better to hold off. That said, if you’re confident in your problem solving skills and willing to push through some of the tougher bits, you could totally jump right in to Space Age.
I think I’m at around 100 hrs in to SA so far, and maybe (optimistically) half way through, and I’ve loved every bit. Except Gleba, fuck Gleba. :)
Shit man I hardly get trains and I got the half amount in the base game. But I refuse to watch tutorials or read because that just takes away the fun. You sold me, I like to support the devs and having even more fun to sink time into is amazing Tbh I probably never need another game!
I will warn you, it’ll push your requirement for understanding game mechanics, and make you solve problems in new ways from the base game. It’s also not feasibly beatable without at least some understanding of circuits, logistic mechanics, and (space) trains.
That said, good luck, and may your factory grow in perpetuity!
Lets pollute some floating rocks and kill natives haha!
It’s more better lol
Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.
It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.
So far, it’s been really great. I’m still on the first planet, but they’ve added a lot of QoL to improve the experience!
I’ve started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I’m glad that I waited a few years
I played it for a bit about a year after it first came out and thought it was fun but it didn’t grab me. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of sci-fi movies and have an itch to try cyberpunk again. I’m glad to hear it runs well, that gives me hope
Caves of Qud
I cannot recommend it enough
I’ve been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.
Apparently its still in early access until next year. Didn’t even know that until yesterday. So dont hold your breath it will be a bit. I got it as a gift for Christmas forever ago and am just now coming back to it. Dont play the regular mode first, play role playing so you can save your character until you know what you’re doing. You will die.
I recently looped back to rimworld.
I was playing a bunch of frostpunk 2, then a little frostpunk 1, and then bounced between the two of them. But in the end all gaming comes back to rimworld…
This time you’re gonna finish the colony.
i once heard somewhere that rimworld was just supposed to be an example piece of how gamedesign works rather than an actual game. and it had such good game design it grew a huge comunity :D
No source, dont remember where i got that
Hello,
Thanks for this post. Do you think they could be made weekly? The community is probably large enough to discuss things once a week
I’ll try biweekly and see how it goes. If I get a lot of responses I’ll try weekly
Biweekly sounds awesome! I’ll be there for that
Thanks !

Sifu is a fun martial-arts focused game. If you liked the combat of Sleeping Dogs and Batman Arkham, it might be your kind of game. It’s currently on sale for $20: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2138710/Sifu/
I’ve been playing the Ballionaire demo, which is pretty damn fun.
I’m ashamed to say I’ve stepped into the Gacha rabbit hole with Zenless Zone Zero. It’s a fun game, combat feels quite good on PC, characters are likable, and the story is intriguing so far. Though I’m not ashamed to say that I haven’t spent anything on this game, and I’m sticking to free to play, as the value you get out of spending in game just isn’t worth it. There are much better ways to spend money than rolling for a chance to get a character. How much the whales are willing to spend for a character will never cease to amaze me.
I’ve been addicted to WarFrame for months and before that it was Wayfinder but that was pre 1.0 so I’d like to go back into that one when I can peel myself away from WF
Good luck on your Warframe journey! Where are you in the story right now? I dropped it after the railjack came out, and am tempted to go back and see some of the new stuff. I just don’t have that much time and patience for grinding all the resources now, maybe I’ll just see a playthrough or something.
I’ve got the story all caught up. I had dropped out shortly after the new war was released and this time I decided that I wanted to actually understand the game (I usually follow guides because of how many game modes, resources and modding can be done) so I tackled all of the campaign missions back to back and then got my standing at level 4 to max with everyone and that was a DRAG. But I’m glad I did it because I’ve got tons of cool gear to mess with and I’ve been having fun swapping weapons and frames to see which abilities are fun with which gun or melee types. I don’t normally look into meta guides and prefer to just grab a weapon and see what feels fun but it took a while for me to get that way with WF because there are just so many mechanics to get overwhelmed by.
My co worker keeps telling me to get the witcher
I’ve heard it’s very good and I’ve tried every one, but personally could never get into them.
Same, combat and movement felt clumsy
I’ve started playing satisfactory.
That was a mistake…
Judgement, it’s made by the same people who me see the Yakuza, Like a Dragon series. It takes place in the same seeing with the same family philosophy. It’s currently on a70% of sale on stem so I got that and it’s sequel with DLC for like $30.
I came back to Cyberpunk 2077 recently. First time touching the game since the 2.0 update and I have to say I’m a bit mixed on the changes (I actually reinstalled the legacy version to make sure I’m not just misremembering things).
I’ll probably post a longer write up once I’m done with my playthrough (or at least do more testing and comparison between both version) but for now my main takeaway is this: I like the new content and all the technical improvements, gameplay, while better from a design and balance perspective, lost some of the fun for me in the process. It’s still a great title and I enjoy it quite a bit but yeah… I miss some of the old unbalanced jank of a game we had before.
