Oh yes, those are a lot of fun! It does add a lot to the game. Just a warning, I’ve found them to be a bit buggy at times, so I would recommend doing a save before taking one. They may have fixed it since I took one though.

That’ll bring you quite a few hours of enjoyment I’m sure! I’ve got a lot of hours into both of those games.
You can pay to get things done more quickly, but you don’t have to pay to win. It just takes more time. From what I hear from players of the game, there’s no actual gameplay advantages locked behind a paywall, only cosmetic items. They obviously want you to pay to proceed faster, but it doesn’t appear to be like some games that make free players use lower tier weapons and items. You can earn all gameplay items through grinding it out and never need to spend any money.
Just a heads up for anyone intrigued by the discussions, there’s a 5 game Deus Ex bundle on Steam that’s on sale for less than $10 right now!
You’ve got a nice variety of games to try there! Trombone Champ was pretty huge for a while there, but I had pretty much forgotten about it. Maybe I’ll grab it just for the laughs.
I never got into Fallout either, although I only ever tried 4. I did have someone mention that I should try the earlier games as apparently the tone of them is different. It’s sometimes hard to overcome first impressions though! It’s great that the show gave you the boost to get hooked!
It’s something I’ve looked at before, and while it looks like it could be a fun game, I don’t have that much time to spend grinding! It definitely appears to be one of the more fair f2p games out there though.
I didn’t realize that, thanks for the info!
I do enjoy that type of game by spells, so I might have to get it the next time I’m in the mood for that! It does look interesting.
No one here could ever have a backlog, right? ;-)
I used to play Terraria years ago, but it’s been a while! Satisfactory looks pretty interesting, but I’ve never played it.
My partner and I both have hundreds of hours in it, so that could be possible! Try not to have super high expectations for it before you start though, I wouldn’t want you to miss out on a fun game because fans hyped it beyond what it is.
That being said, both of us are pretty big fans of the game. We drove quite a distance to go to one of the Stardew Valley concerts, and it was really great. I’m not someone that likes crowds, but all the fans there were very friendly and it made for a great time.
Thanks for the recommendation! It’s not necessarily something that would jump out at me, but it seems people really like it.
I’m sure we will! I saw a list being created, so I’m sure there will be a few. I did give a warning about the infamous Steam backlog, but I don’t want to ruin the fun of a new device! So we’ll see what happens.
Not sure what platforms you have available, but it’s 30% off on the Steam summer sale!

I’m somewhat the same. Really no interest in Dark Souls/Elden Ring or any of that, but Sekiro did catch my attention before. The difficulty is a turn off though. I often play games on hard difficulty, but I prefer it to be a choice, and to be able to turn it down if it’s too difficult.
It’s sometimes fun to go back and buy those games you found years ago! When I was pretty young I couldn’t afford games and computers, so I would fix old broken computers and play mostly game demos. I got many more hours out of that than those designers probably ever imagined! Since then I’ve gone back and bought a lot of those games, and it definitely reminds me of some good times.
Sure, you’re welcome! Mac gaming sounds like it can be rough. I game exclusively on Linux, so I’m somewhat limited, but compatibility is really good anymore. Is there a compatibility layer like Proton that you can use for Mac? It’s not something I pay a lot of attention to, but I don’t remember seeing a huge number of games on Steam for the platform.
I’m keeping an eye on it as well, but I’m waiting for a major price drop/bigger sale. Divinity Original Sin 2 didn’t really click with me, and BG3 reminds me of it a little too much. Fantasy isn’t really my favorite setting, so it may just not be the game for me.
Yeah, it can be frustrating in times like that.
