The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.
Dirt Rally 2.0 with Force feedback wheel and pedals.
Ugh, I just can’t get enough of it. Who needs crack when you have sim racing?
Palworld! Couldn’t stop playing it with my friends, it was such a blast! I say “was”, because we quickly all got to level 50 and now we’re waiting for a big update that’ll make the game fresh again!
There are sequels too!
Yeah I think Finding Paradise is the second one. I haven’t played that, but played Imposter Factory and it was really good!
I think there are two answers to this.
The most recent game I was completely captivated by and just obsessed with was Subnautica. I was deep into it in 2022.
The most recent one I spent a long time playing is Satisfactory, I started my most recent run in mid-December and completed it a week or two ago. Satisfactory didn’t quite grab me the way Subnautica did in terms of loving this world, but I get into it. I had a goal of 100% full clearing it including buying all the trophies before it was out of early access, so I did.
Spellcaster University.
It’s not the most complex game, but you’re given control to build your own set of universities, trying to accomplish the goals given to you. You have a limited amount of time before the Great Evil comes and you have to start over.
Each location has its pros and cons, different graduation classes can give benefits that persist through the run, and all the building is done through picking one of 3 cards themed around what they focus on(Gold for general improvement and random magic things, Mana of particular types for rooms/items focused on that school of magic).
I think I got this game through a Humble Bundle, but never gave it a shot. Might have to check it out!
It definitely hits that “Simple on the outside, addictive on the inside” itch. Even playing on Marathon, a School goes by fairly quickly, so you get in that “just one more” mentality.
Returnal. I went hard for a few weeks working those biomes.
I am currently going down the rabbit hole of sim racing. It’s dangerous, and I’m trying my best not to drop tons of money into it.
I almost went down that rabbit hole after watching the Netflix F1 show haha. Never watched a race before that.
Path of Exile.
Still am, but used to be too. Eagerly anticipating poe2 release.
Deep Rock Galactic
Just gotta finish one last assignment…
I’ve gotten to the point I just browse the servers list. Help
WE FIGHT FOR ROCK AND STONE!
Probably WoW tbh. I don’t play anymore and don’t recommend it, but WoW with friends/guildies at its peak is unparalleled. You can’t wait to log on and reconnect with everyone.
RDR2
How is it so far?
I started playing RDR2 in 2022 but I felt it to be so cumbersome. Running around on horse doing shit that doesn’t matter.
Maybe I am not recollecting it correctly. Just wanted to know more about it from you.
It took a while to get going, but eventually the story worked well to pull me in. I was hooked on the character development and the plot.
The world is so vivid and beautiful too. Lots of things to look for, hunt, explore, etc. I really liked it.
I also had my character grow a big mustache. My wife won’t let me do that so I lived vicariously through the game for that too.
Haha. Superb. Will give it a shot again.
You spelled current wrong.
Right now it’s brawlhalla, free smash clone on steam.
“Just one more game”
Runescape/Old school runescape
Been playing since 2009. Sure I’ve taken breaks, sometimes multiple years, but I always return.
The old saying is true, “You never quit runescape, you just take breaks”
I guess Dark Cloud 2 (aka Dark Chronicles) again, because I’m playing it again and I’m hooked.
