Oh boy. Firstly Pathfinder: WotR was awesome. Lately I've been on cozy/sim kicks for some reason. Lots of EA games too. I've played most of Travellers Rest (decent, EA), Sun Haven (awesome, complete), Roots of Pacha (cool/different, complete). Waiting on some updates for The Ranchers (kickstarter - EA soon). Also played some tech tests for Palia (Cozy MMO? NDA active!) For strategy/4x games, I put some time into Spellforce, Against the Storm, Age of Wonder 4, and fired up Thea 2 again. All solid games. When I want to suck at games I hit Noble Fates, Dwarf Fortress, Necesse. If I want to be a rock star I fire up Vampire Survivors, or the EA for Starship Troopers. However, the other day I picked up Diablo 4, all seventy fucking dollars of it, because some friends from across the country were digging it, and now I'm level 30+ already because games are addicting.
The struggle though - Startfield and Baldur's Gate 3 coming out within like a week of each other (or a day if you preorder). Fortunately at least Starfield is going to be on Xbox PC Game Pass, so I won't have to shell out for it until it's on sale and I want to play through it again with a whole new set of untagged achievements on steam. Like I did when I completed Skyrim, and got the special edition as a separate install for a fresh set of cheevos. Ugh.
Great time to be a gamer, but not enough time to be a gamer. :)
EA... games? As in Electronic Arts? I thought their games sucked?
Also, heard good things about Spellforce and Age of Wonder 4, though I'm not really an RTS fan and I don't know if I want to start playing RTSes again (it's been over a decade since I did, admittedly).
Early Access
Oooohhhh
My bad.
EA as in early access, sorry for invoking electronic arts. AOW4 and Spellforce aren't RTS.. they're more 4x, with turn based combat. Check out some videos on them and you'll see how they play.
haha fair enough
