Hell yeah. I wish the Lemmy community was bigger for osrs.

For the last two years it's been BG3.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Lately, it's been Hell Divers. Used to be Mario Kart.

The Sly Cooper Trilogy. I still have them on PS2

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Alpha Centauri.

I know I’m aging myself, but there has never been anything else like it. The depth, the narrative, the way the gameplay evolves. It’s a masterpiece.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Nice, and I fully agree: The best turn based 4x Civ I have played so far. Music, fractions and the story are all perfect. The factions play quite different and allow for diverse strategies to win. Surprised that there are not more copy-cats that try to pull it off.

  • Street Fighter II in basically any edition. Was my entry point in fighting games and to this day it just feels 'right'
  • Street Fighter III, 3rd Strike (It is that good and to this day one of the highlights)
  • Slay the Spire
  • Contra (NES)
  • Super Mario Brothers (NES) (What an utterly brilliant game)
  • Castlevania 3 (NES)
  • Vampyre Survivors (Ok, maybe just pure dopamine addiction)
  • Sudoku
  • Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster
  • XCOM
  • Open X-COM
  • Olli Olli
  • rogue
  • Tetris
  • Into the breach ... and Quake

Kingdom hearts, any one of them really. But 358/2 days is my favorite

Whenever I’m depressed and have a hard time enjoying a game, I usually go to RDR2 or Coffee Talk.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I'd have to say Dark Souls, honestly any of them. Once you know what you are doing, where you're going, it's easy to just get lost in playing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Shame on me, never finished even Dark Souls 1, but damn I had a lot of fun failing and dying. :-)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

No shame at all, they're very flawed games and the problems they have do drive some people away. The latter half of DS1 is extremely rough, honestly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, for DS1, I totally respect the artistic vision and that they simply created a game against the trends (back then) ... at the same time I made it trough the swamp under the Orc-City w/o the ring which allows immunity to the swamp poison. When I looked up how to get this ring (back to the Asylum) I was just like: WTF, I have a real life, how should I have figured this out by myself? ... this turned me away, although I still have a lot of respect and love for DS1!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

Blighttown is an area that turns away a lot of players haha, the lower portion isn't too bad. The poison water slows you, but if you roll through it you can navigate it pretty fast, and there's a merchant that sells an item that cures poison, that you can find right before you enter the depths. There's no shame whatsoever in looking up help online in dark souls.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

Ds1 just flows so well. I still get happy when a new run gets the black knight halberd

Skyrim

Valheim

USED to be Destiny, but after 10 years, I'm just done with it now

Minecraft is the one I keep coming back to year after year. Throw in a massive automation based mod pack and I'm set for months until the save lags to the point of unplayability.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

To help with lag for me I ran a server on a separate computer with some extra performance mods then played on my PC. It helps a little but still will eventually lag

Squarez Deluxe

It is the best shape-packing game ever in my opinion, or at the top of the podium with the greats. In Extreme Mode I can get lost for hours and hours

A great player needs to have a solid understanding of the core mechanics, because a tremendous amount of creativity necessary. Player needs to conceive and continually rebalance a multi-faceted plan for managing the playfield. By necessity, you'll almost be setting up Rube Goldberg-ian contraptions using the various action blocks, which leads to extremely satisfying moments when you finally get that "one piece" you've been hungering for 30 minutes.

Best of all, the original developer made Squarez Deluxe Freeware! So grab DOSBox and have a crack!

I turn off biters and play on 100x research because it's calming.

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

Oh my god I love these games so much. Even bought a snap on bt controller for my phone specifically to play those on the go

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

Either Pikmin or Tears Of The Kingdom! Both are such good games!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

I guess Overwatch. Im one of those fans.

I think most of all the history of passionate stories drew me in and kept me. But most of all I like these games to challenge me to stay focused on the current game and what I can do and keeping my tilt in check.

Honestly feels like a mental practice to stay chill even in the most frustrating losing streaks.

But to super chillout maybe sims 4 or stardew valley. :)
