Thanks, I’ll add it to the wishlist.

Now I’m looking for a good space game, something like Elite Dangerous maybe, but the reviews spook me a bit. Anyone know if there’s anything better I should be looking at?

frontier? I heard kerbal was pretty fun. I guess i’m looking for something I can fly around, explore, and dog fight a bit. Everspace is supposed to be pretty good. Tried it on PS4 but really need to play with a mouse or maybe even a proper joystick since the fights are twitchy, sort of like Descent in open space.

Been play Battlerstar Galctica Deadlock and it’s great, but turn-based combat, which i love, but looking for something to switch it up a bit.

Been digging around and I’m sad that there aren’t more modern open-world space games to choose from, at least that are actually solid. Seems that Elite Dangerous is probabaly the best choice, but still lacking in a lot of ways. Really a bummer that No Man’s Sky was such a flop.

I’ll probably go with Drox Operative in the end:

Meanwhile, picked up an RPG called Age of Decadence that looks promising.

TIE Fighter, Freespace 2 and Independence War are my holy trinity, haven't seen their like since the 90s. I've given Elite Dangerous three tries so far and just can't get into it.

I played Rebel Galaxy earlier this year, and it was more fun than I was expecting. The open world stuff is pretty light, but the story mode is probably worth the $4 if you haven't played it yet.

Got that one in a previous sale and played it a bit, but need to give it another chance.

Star Traders Frontiers is solid as well, but turn-based combat so it’s light on action.

I’m a-ponderin’ on Steam games myself. I have purchased a few recently that I haven’t gotten into yet, but the sale screen thing is totally distracting me. I went to play a little 'endless sky' last night and ended up chasing through their sale list for an hour and a half.

'Rise to Ruins' might be the one. I spent some time trying to learn how to play 'Dwarf Fortress' earlier this year, but it was frustrating. I’ve been messing with a few simpler DwarfFortress-likes to see if they can help me get a handle on understanding it – Rise to Ruins looks to be one of those.

'Weird Worlds: The Return to infinite space’ might get a buck 24 out of me. 'Space Rogue' appears to be an FTL-like but shorter, which also appeals. (Totally burnt out on FTL. Loved it but spending two hour chunks to get through to a boss ship that beats me handily every! single! time! eventually drove me off.)
'Haque' looks good to me, but maybe I've overdosed on rogue-likes lately.

I feel ya. I’ve definitely spent more time scouting and reading about games than I have playing them lately...but I guess that’s not uncommon for me, for better or worse (and here I am on a video game forum heh).

But yeah, I’m always looking for the elusive holy grail of games that will scratch every itch and have a smoke with me afterwards. It’s a never-ending quest.

ChuSingura46+1 S(There is no sale, the first chapter of about 10 hours is free)

【Lv.99 Doki Doki Literature Club】

※ Because it contains shocking content, I can not recommend it to an ordinary person.

I've been playing a lot of Vermintide 2, it's a lot of fun and gets really challenging.

Rainbow Six Siege is a good game.

Divinity 2 is dope af.

Witcher 3 is one of my favorite games of all time.

For Honor is pretty cool.

Doom is fantastic.

Good list. Been wanting Divinity 2, but still working through 1 (playing it co-op with my wife, but we only play once in a blue moon).
