What are your games to get into the season for its vibe?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/20175694
I mean games you played / you are going to play.
My list looks like this for example:
- Summer: DAVE THE DIVER
- Autumn: Against the Storm
- Winter: Frostpunk 2
- Spring: Terra Nil
What are yours?

You got five seasons???
Some parts of south Asia actually do use a six season model. You've got the four you're familiar with plus monsoon season between summer and autumn and one other one either at the start or end of winter depending on the specific system
Nah...just play every games every 8 hr
My country only 3 seasons:
You're in the UK? Lol
Nope, from somewhere in asia
I wonder how would that look like. π€
Satisfactory 1.0 just dropped.
Coffe Stain literally does straight up ASMR trailers sometimes.
I don't get seasons where I live. It's just hell year-round.
Hokkaido somewhere?
I would do unspeakable things to be able to get a remote job and live in Sapporo though.
I wish. It's currently 45 where I am, and it's barely past noon.
I don't play games to get in the mood for a season, but I've noticed the last couple of years that I'm likely to play some games a lot more in certain seasons!
I tend to associate stardew valley with winter. I like the decorations the most and the music is very nice. Reminds you of all the work during the other seasons and letβs you breath in and plan for next year.
That's exactly what I meant! Not only "fitting in-game". Nice list.
Against the storm has been on my radar for ages. How is it, and how's the replayability?
It's very good if you like city builders with RTS elements. There's no combat in it at all, it's just you and your villagers against the storm, hence the title. It has a lot of challenge missions and an overall story so the replayability is quite good.
Oh wow, I thought there was combat.
What are the RTS elements if not combat? Is it more "macro" level stuff like resource collection/ building/ tech?
I'll definitely pick it up if that's more what it's about. I love RTS formats, but going back to starcraft style micro is way too much for me nowadays.
I dig city builders regardless though, and the roguelike aspect seems neat.
I wouldn't really call Against the Storm an RTS. It's worker placement game and a short-session city builder. You place down buildings, and assign your people to do specific things. You get modifiers, new buildings, and events as the run goes on. You have to produce specific resources to earn points to win the run. Events work where you have to assign people+resources to it before the generous timer runs out, or you get debuffs. You can plan and do things while time is paused.
Very fun and strategic, but more in a puzzley sense, not an RTS way. DotAge is another game - very similar, but turn based.
Honestly sounds awesome. I've found that I love top down city builders (shout out to timberborn) and I really like the theme and setting of Against the storm. Love me some grim vibes in games. Thanks for the info!
I guess it's not so much RTS. It's like making hard decisions. It's a lot like Frostpunk in that way if you've played that game. There's an element of danger and your villagers can easily die, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions or sacrifices.
Hell yeah, sounds great. I haven't played frostpunk (also on my wishlist), but I can't really go wrong with city builders, and I love the theme. I appreciate the info!
Pillars of Eternity and Factorio
Great ones!
Autumn is always Diablo-season in my family. We'll play a modded Diablo 1 or 2 together. It's tradition!
The sanctity of this latte has been fowled.
spring: mario sunshine
summer: Journey, Witcher 3
fall: Majora's Mask, everything is dying and decaying after a golden age
winter: 1080 snowboarding!
Replace Sunshine with Super Mario Eclipse. It has the original shine sprites, huge quality of life improvements, and an insane amount of new content.
Have Eclipse on my list up next after I finish up Astro Bot. Happy to see it getting good reviews!
never heard of eclipse, thanks
The Long Dark for winter, of course.
Eh, the only "seasons" I play special games for are Halloween (something spooky) and Christmas:
This year, it'll probably be:
Other than that, I don't really games based on the season, but based on time I have available and whatever interests me.
