A lot of great games already mentioned here. If you want to try something a little different. Yakuza 0 has a bonkers story that is weird and wonderful, but very Japanese.

Tacoma and Gone Home are great stories and well worth a look.

I also rate the Max Payne series for some pulpy fun story with lots of shooty in between.

Yeah, I was pretty happy about this. Even though I have Outer Worlds on Gamepass, now I can easily play it on the go with my Steam Deck, so not mad about that at all!

Excuse my ignorance but is the app out? Would love some kind of app for iOS so I can use Kbin more comfortably.

Came here to say exactly this. I don’t like Kotaku, and think that the AI is probably doing a better job. But this does not bode well for other publications.

Add me to the waiting list! Excited for this.

I’d like to know this too. I do a lot of XYZ review reddit into google when making purchasing decisions. The black out left me without a solid resource of user opinion!

A friend of mine got me into the game. Honestly, the graphics were a bit of learning curve for me. I play mostly indie games, but even for me, the fidelity was lacking. I think the shooting lacks a bit of punch, but once I got over that after the first few hours, a deeply satisfying, and FUN Battlefield-style game was waiting for me. Well worth supporting the developers anyway, even if it is just to get EA to notice and up their game for the franchise.

One of the most underrated games in Early Access right now. I am not even a big city building fan, but their cadence of updates and novel take on the genre has sparked an understanding of the entire genre for me, and I cannot get enough!

I love Splatoon but like others here have said, I’m a casual player. Work and life is too busy for me to dive too heavy into it. Just love it’s vibe and gameplay ideas though.

I think this is the best solution for these situations. I have a pair of aeroshokz and they do seem to work pretty well.

This is what I was thinking. It just seems.... WEIRD. In the best way possible. It just all feels a little bizarro compared to what we normally see from the series.

Give me a BBQ chicken pizza with some caramelised onions, and some Pineapple, we got a stew going on!

Thanks! Signed up for the beta.

Two years?! How long is the game haha! If it is two years long then I will probably never even get to the DLC haha!

Haha okay, that makes more sense!

While this is true, that steam sale is calling my name! Thanks for the thoughts. Maybe I will hold on it for a while.

I think a crucial component is where I say watching TV passively etc. I use headphones when I am focusing on playing games only.

This looks super cool! Definitely adding it to the wishlist!
