    Disco Elysium for a 10er. Really, if you’re someone who has even the most passing interest in CRPGs, story-centric games or strong character dialogue, you owe it to yourself to play this. It’s beyond fantastic.

      I’m not going to link directly to any pirated content as I don’t want to break the c rules, but iirc the creators of Disco Elysium literally asked people to pirate the game instead of buying it, as none of the sale currently goes to them, seeing as they were (according to them) unfairly ousted and had lots of money kept from them.

      There’s a good summary here: https://www.pcgamer.com/disco-elysium-studio-declares-resolution-of-legal-battle-while-two-of-its-ousted-founders-insist-the-fight-continues-they-will-not-silence-us/

      Disco Elysium is simply just a must have game for any gamer. Even if you don’t normally like the genre, you will like Disco Elysium. The only way you could dislike Disco Elysium, is if you hate incredible writing.

        I got bored of it. I don’t remember laughing at any jokes a single time, and I never felt like the stat build I started out with (one of the game’s presets) ever let me do anything fun.

          Yeah I think saying it’s a must have for any gamer is a bit too much, no game is for literally everyone. Disco Elysium’s humor doesn’t strike me as overly humorous anyway, it’s not really a comedic game, more of a dry chuckle now and then.

          And the fun is really just reading/hearing any of the dialogue or descriptions, it is very well written. You get a lot of different choices depending on the “build” stuff, but it’s really mostly all well written and should be enjoyable if you’re into the style at all

    Looking at the best sellers list and I own the first 8 games… None of which I’ve finished…

      Own 8/10 - assuming you count Phantom Liberty different from CP; finished 7/10 (likewise PL), mostly before this decade. Some of them before 2010. I wonder if I can still find my Baldur’s Gate CDs…

      I’m old.

    Looking through the best seller list I saw spore and man I really wish someone would give that game another go. It was fun, but had issues obviously like the overselling of features.

    Like a Dragon is on GOG without Denuvo, nice. I hadn’t realized that before, I’m definitely gonna pick that up.

    Oh wow… they have The Saboteur for $5. I didn’t know it was available on the PC. I loved that game, warts and all. IIRC it was the first game I ever worked to get 100% achievements on.

      It is very charming and enjoyable but there’s little to do in the endgame, and it kinda starts to get tedious even in midgame tbh. Everything else is pretty much perfect though, good performance, UI, modding support, lots of freedom and creativity when it comes to designing settlements… Just don’t expect it to be too complex or demanding at any point.

      I love Timberborn. I haven’t played the two games you’ve mentioned, so I can’t commemt on how they compare, but it is a great game.

      There’s some lets-plays on youtube that’ll give you a better feel for it than the trailers.
