I have played Ruiner . Back when it released.... I liked it quite a bit (nice atmoshere and gameplay) not sure If I remember it being thaaaat special though ? Like I enjoyed the story etc. or what I remember.
What did you like about it OP ?
I would be interested. Not 100% sure if I can commit yet -but I am certainly very curious. I have only finished 2 small games against the AI so far. I would still rank myself as complete beginner.
Edit 2 - Scratch that. I wanna play Dom6 regardless of player numbers if you are interested.
haha. cheezburger
Out of the games that released in 2024 I recommend all 4 of these
Dominions 6 probably my GOTY could become an top 5 game of alltime for me
Caves of Qud - 17 years in the making. Traditional roguelike in a science-fantasy world
Balatro -card game that is pure bliss
1000xRESIST (kinda lib politics but otherwise amazing story or so I heard) havent played it much yet -so no spoilers please
EDIT. I can write a bit more if there is interest
WHO LET THE OWLS OUT ? HOOT HOOT HOOT
I wanna improve my cardio. Work out more regular- I slacked off last year. I wanna improve my muscle strength. God willing im on a road to become fucking huge
I hope to get into another romantic relationship
I wanna try and learn 3-4 really complex and deep games like Shadow Empires, Dominons 6 etc
Seriously thinking about going vegan
Plus I wanna attempt and read a book a month (which might seem super low for some of you but I just got back into reading books a couple of years ago)
Nah. I have absolute trust in my amazing leadership abilites. Im certain I would lead the revolution into a glorious future. I was part of the student council before... it cant be that hard right ?
The AAA gaming sphere is fucked and likely wont become healthy again under the current system. I agree that the overall direction and trend is really fucking bad.
BUUUUT
WITH that said. Do I care? Not really. Some of the finest gaming in the entire industry is found in the indie gaming sphere. Just take some of my personal faves of 2024
Dominions 6 a massive 4X/wargame
Caves of Qud a traditional roguelike in an open world with great world-building 15 years in the making
Balatro an excellent card game
These are just some games I myself like. These are 3 games that released this year 2024. Every one of them would be deserving of a 9 or even 10/10. On top of that, these are games you could spend hundreds of hours in if you enjoyed them.
Indie games are better than ever. There are more than ever. We are kinda living in a golden age in that respect. Not even sure if it will stay that way... but even if it won’t, the amount of high-quality stuff coming out will keep me occupied for years to come.
You can say the AAA game industry is broken and I agree, but in exchange, one also has to look at the indie scene and realize we are getting about 10-20 or more awesome indie games a year.
In short- I would rather spend my time enjoying indies and talking about them then lamenting the death of the AAA game.
I wanted to say a Playstation 5 but then I remembered it has no games to play
What are you gonna do about it? Go tell the mods. They will only ban a poster
