FTL. Theme song triggers ptsd in my wife.
Dwarf Fortress is beautiful.
This is my answer. Donated to Toady1 a couple times, then bought it on steam.
Same here, donated to Toady and played for years before moving to masterwork DF, and years there too. Once the keyboard only mode is added to the steam version I’m sure I’ll be playing for years there too!
Rogue Legacy 2
If you enjoy platformers and roguelikes, you’ll like this.
The Binding of Isaac. One of the GOATs for me.

+1. Just turned 300hours corner, and I’m not done at all.

Rimworld
RimWorld is a time machine. I start it up and then look at the clock and I’m 5 hours in the future.
I’ve once started a colony right before exams period. It was tough.
Zombies vs Plants.
Vampire Survivors on the steam deck.
Cyberpunk. They fixed most of the issues the game had at launch. There’s a dlc coming out soon too that will add a bunch of hours, and with it they are reworking loads of mechanics for free. Can’t recommend it enough.
Cyberpunk for me as well. When it first came out, I played it on a GTX970 and enjoyed every moment of it. Low settings, low frames. Ugly as fuck, but still high tech, still low life. Even with all its issues, it was the first game in years where I completed the story. And then did it again.
I recently upgraded my video card along with a 4K monitor and tried replaying the story, but haven’t made much progress because I usually just walk around and look at all the pretty. Yesterday I spent well over an hour in one of the clubs looking at NPCs, walls, and tables. 10 minutes of it was staring at blinking lights on circuit boards inside a floor panel.
I did much of the same thing
It turns out building a better pc and playing cyberpunk has the same effect as walking around a city on acid.
Who would’ve thought
There’s so much variation… I do the same, wandering around at night, just looking around.
One time I found myself in some dilapidated area with oil derrigs (the big pumps idk wht they’re called) and it was all foggy, almost monochrome. mud everywhere.
It was so beautiful.
The problems I have with cyberpunk stem more from the story. It’s depressing and has no real happy ending, just an array of at best bittersweet possible endings. Maybe the new DLC will fix that but otherwise it’s a bit too much art imitating life for me.
Ahh I love that part. Feels like a nice change of pace that the best ending (for me) is open ended with a little bit of hope. Don’t want to spoil for anyone else reading which ending I mean, but I like that it doesn’t wrap up in a fully positive way
See I like that one, I just wish it weren’t the happiest option. Bittersweet is great for movies but for the best option in a video game that you pour hours into, it can be a bit of a letdown.

Space Engineers with my 1.5k hrs of played.
Get the wings mod if you don’t already. Such a game changer.
Is the AI blocks work with wings mod? I’m a more or less vanilla player.
That’s a really good question, I think they should, as the AI just works with what it’s given and if that means less thrusting then it’s probably happier.
It makes long distance vehicles feel a lot better too. It inspired me to make a runway, add the speed mod and then set the max speed to 300m/s.
Good ol’ Skyrim. The possibilities to break the game are nigh endless.
You know there is a skyrim mods community here on lemmy? Come break the game with us!
The most recent, Dave the diver!!
I put over 30 hours into this game and ended up not recommending it on steam.
Weird progression in that game. The sushi segments just turned into me cleaning dishes and grating wasabi…and I thought the entire sea people quest was bland… Also, Nexon is a pretty crap company but that’s not so much a comment about the game. Another comment about the game is the forced fetishizing of shark murder. It made me deliver a shark head to a customer on a plate and watch them cry from happiness while they ate it. STOP MURDERING SHARKS???
The Binding of Isaac. It is too addictive
I understand that this game is popular and has a significant fanbase. However, I’ve never played it. Could you share the features that drew you into playing this game? I’d like to enjoy it, but simply watching the gameplay didn’t suffice to persuade me.
The random generated dungeons and amount of different items do it for me. The game might have a steep learning curve initially though until you figure out the core mechanics
