Tempest Steampage

It’s troubling to recommend certain games because while I had a positive experience, I feel a general audience would look at this game, the UI, the graphics, and decide it’s not for them. However I would recommend giving this game a fair trial. There is very little story, and I’m inclined to say that some quests are designed to piss you off. However the mechanics of fighting are fun. Its worth playing if you’re interested in more pirate videogames.

EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5 Steampage

EDF 5 is the first EDF game I’ve made it all the way to the end on. I bounced out of 4.1 pretty early, but this time I had a crew to play with and it was super enjoyable. Obviously I went Fencer, because Sword and Board looked cool, but unfortunately once we started playing the harder difficulties it stopped being good and started getting really bad. I’m rocking the very meta Blasthole Spear + Shotgun combo which does a ton of work, but at the cost of being kinda boring atm. I have tried out Air Raider at random and it’s super fun to spam airstrikes, but the damage is dependent on having secure flanks and the vehicles are just noooooot gooooood. Definitely recommend EDF 5.

Dyson Sphere Program Steampage

Ever feel like you missed the boat on a game? This was the exact opposite of that imo, I showed up so early there was a speedboat owning couple willing to let me ride with them to their destination. I got the game because it looked like a comfortable optimization game, similar to Mindustry or Factorio. However about a week after owning it, they announced the addition of combat and a hostile faction, so I got to enjoy the game before the evil resistance stuff showed up. You can probably still play the game in the safe way that I did, but I ended up falling out for distraction reasons. Still an easy recommend, lots of fun

Forklift Load Steampage

The best example of a game that’s slightly silly and has something to say. I recommend playing it blind, it only takes 3 hours. The visuals might take some getting used to as there is a ton of bloom. However the story is fun to parse through. There are some localization problems, as the original author isn’t a native English speaker, but it’s still possible to derive the meaning behind the words.

Battlefield 2042 Steampage

I’m a battlefield gamer and 2042’s launch news was extremely sad to hear. I only bought the game in 2023 and it must have been the years of updates but I had a ton of fun! There was some confusion related to if you needed to buy DLC to use certain weapons/gear, but I learned that if you just level up you get access to everything. I’m definitely too old for the normal PvP mode, but since they fill empty lobbies with AI, I tend to still get a few kills in a match.

Borderlands 1 GOTY Enhanced Steampage

Went back to play this more as a history lesson. It was pretty fun! The legendary weapons just swing so wide tho, a gun can either have more damage then weapons 40+ your level, or just end up less dps then a green gun. The biggest source of frustration for me was Moxie’s Underdome which was just a real slog for just 1 passive point. I cleared the game twice on Roland just using assault rifles and had a good time.

Tower Unite Steampage

Now I haven’t played VRchat but I do like social spaces that have minigames in them, and Tower Unite is pretty dope. I found most people congregate around the Casino, but there is still a lot of cool things to do and the community is pretty chill. I mostly enjoyed the Pool Hall/Dance club as well as the Arcade. The minigolf game tho, jesus. Feels like the most unrelenting golf I’ve ever tried. Easy recommend if you’re looking for a social space to just vibe out in.

Guild Wars 2 Steampage

I don't play many MMOs, and my history is just Runescape and alittle Lost Ark when it was fresh, but man, Guild Wars 2 is a fucking awesome MMO. There are a few layers of gameplay that make it super awesome to play, even for just a complete newbie. I think the biggest draw tho is how everything feels populated, even lower level starting zones. The game incentivises players to do all the little quests on the map and also layers fun distractions ontop of that, so you end up constantly going from zone to zone checking cleaning up map markers and just doing random things. They game definitely wants you picking up the DLCs for the various quality of life stuff, as well as joining a guild for the various bonuses there. But if you're a pure solo player there is still a megaton of things to play with and check out. Definitively recommend if you're looking for a long commitment game.

There is more to come! However the end of the year ended up being pretty busy, so I'll add to this list when I get a chance. If this message is gone, then I finished all the reviews!
