The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.
Got hooked on Factorio back in 2016. Still am.
Friend gifted me this game just a few weeks ago. It gained more prominence in my dreams than i am willing to admit
What are you in bed dreaming for? Don’t you have some iron throughput to upgrade?
Can’t dream if you don’t sleep. Can’t sleep, the factory must grow.
Currently on my 2nd attempt at a Space Exploration run. Part of me wishes I’d just started heroin, it would have been less addictive.
I finished SE not long ago. I like the added complexity of logistics, but I found that SE was a bit too repetitive for my taste, as every new resource requires pretty much the same setup but on a new planet.
I’m more of an angelbob kind of guy.
Factorio is one of the few games that cause the Tetris Effect for me.
I’m still playing Starfield. I’m 120% the targeted audience. It helped me go through depression.
I’m a 45 years old dude, and I started creating a comic with my character in Starfield, by taking screenshots and adding speech bubbles with Figma. I didn’t know I had it in me.
As far as I’m concerned, Starfield is self-care.
That’s deep rock Galactic and star trek for me, whenever I’m bringing those 2 then times are tough.
I really enjoyed that game, despite its faults, and despite the loud folks yelling about how it was the worst game ever. I put around 150 hours into it.
Awesome. I’m way past 500. Not sure, I don’t check much.
Baldur’s Gate 3, four playthroughs back to back, two of em multiplayer. I still play it every now and then when I want to continue my honor run.
Besides that, Rimworld. Nearly 4k hours.
Ah Rimworld. What are other games except brief distractions from more Rimworld?
It’s honestly a neverending stream of new stories. There’s new, quality mods nearly every day.
Ive been playing a lot of read dead redemption lately.
Came here to say this (specifically RDR2). I found the story really slow in the beginning but it got me addicted.
Deep Rock Galactic
Just gotta finish one last assignment…
WE FIGHT FOR ROCK AND STONE!
ROCK AND STONE!
I’ve gotten to the point I just browse the servers list. Help
I am utterly shellshocked by how much I’m enjoying Helldivers 2. It’s been a very long time since I’ve daydreamed about going home to play but I just can’t wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It’s like I’m 10 again
I just want to let people with lower spec hardware know about “Earth defense force 5”. It’s better than hell divers in my opinion. Bigger scale, more aliens, more destruction but lower graphics to compensate.
There’s 6 days left on the EDF Humble Bundle.

I keep seeing so much about it, I really need to give it a shot.
You won’t be disappointed especially if you play with friends or people who communicate
Oh.
Yeah it’s a 4 player multiplayer game. You can drop in with randoms but it’s just not the ideal experience in my mind
I will definitely revisit it as soon as I’ve made three communicative friends!
I just played a quick game before i do some chores now with random people, all American won’t hold it against them but they were good blokes.
Knocked out 2 missions at level 4 cause i just wanted the cruisy experience
I play coop PVE games with random matchmaking, Helldivers 2 is still a lot of fun with random people.
Dragons Dogma 2
- story: garbage
- storytelling: garbage
- performance: garbage
- CAPCOM: garbage
But I tell you what, the world, exploration and gameplay they’ve put together, it’s all A+.
I turned it to Japanese voices so I didn’t have to hear the god awful English voice acting and it’s improved my experience a lot
I hope they add a localization patch so I can change it to something fun like Spanish or German
satisfactory on my 8th full playthrough and the game is not even 1.0 yet
I got so hooked on Factorio for years that after trying Satisfactory for a few hours I had to stop since I had things to do in the next year and a half. One day I hope I’ll have time to give it a real shot.
yeah that is a good idea I have almost 1000 hours in satisfactory and have a real problem of telling myself I will go to bed after I finish this production line then I blink and it’s 4am.
FacCracktorioYou’ll laugh.
Bus simulator: Ultimate
Android game that will toast your phone, but it’s pretty nice. It has a multiplayer too and a 2nd hand market where people bid on used buses. Naturally this means it’s best to attempt to put a bus for auction in specific hours, and bid in others.Some of the longer routes take well over an hour in real world.
One effect on me, which is also true for trains and busses in real life, is that it makes me sleepy pretty quickly.
Low frequency sound of the engine, trees moving past, road lanes quickly zipping past, you’re just staring in front while doing minor adjustments and falling asleep.
I should not drive in real life.As an avid ETS2/ATS player, I totally get you.
I gotta go with Cyberpunk : i waited until very recently to start playing (didn’t have a beefy enough computer before) and man am I hooked. The universe feels complete, and the characters feel real to me : truly a fantastic game
I love this game. I got it at launch and never had a problem, and I’ve played like two complete 100% games already before the dlc, now on my third one.
Played original game about a year after release and loved it. Expansion came out and didn’t get far. Enemies take 80 rounds to kill. All weapons seem like junk. The crafting and “loot” drops are too much maintenance for me to really enjoy.
Probably WoW tbh. I don’t play anymore and don’t recommend it, but WoW with friends/guildies at its peak is unparalleled. You can’t wait to log on and reconnect with everyone.
I totally binged Alan Wake 1 in like 2 days. Then spent a while enveloped by Alan Wake 2! Part 2 really got the AAA treatment. It was funny, spooky, actiony. Lots of stuff to explore, the characters play differently.
I also didn’t realize Control was part of the story, so now I gotta go play that!
I did the opposite and played Control first, so now I have the Alan Wake stuff to play.
Control is great. In my top 5.
No Mans Sky. Off and on for like 4 years now. But I keep coming back with each new update and I get completely hooked again.
Ingress. I was obsessed with it. Couldn’t stop playing.
Same. I rocked that game for a year before Pokemon Go came out. It was insanely addictive. I would walk like 3-5 miles a day and I’d take way too many breaks at work to go hit the portals by my office.
Family trips were awkward. I would make detours and hide the reason but just pointed out there was something awesome they should see.
I also took part in global ops where I met irl with other players to move keys.
When I think about it the real life component of that game is amazing.
I participated in a few anomalies, both as support and an on ground person hitting the objectives. Shit was rad, man. I met a couple cool people and even business contacts through it.
I was trying to think of a PC game until I saw your comment. It’s totally Ingress for me too. I was hooked and my area (Chicago burbs) had a very active player base. The ops and competition were intense! I really enjoyed the real-world tactical shit, closest I’ll ever get to feeling like I was part of a military operation.
I still play it too, but not like before. It’s a great way to kill time and explore new places. I think I’m level 12, almost 13, and I’m lazily working towards more badges. I don’t understand what the red faction is all about and the other new stuff.
