It's not so much a sandbox, but more of a 4X grand strategy game. Conquer the universe, or at least help some other faction to do so. And stop the Xenon from assimilating everything. It's like a cross between Elite Dangerous and Stellaris.

I play at most 2-3 games at the same time. 1 story game that requires concentration (currently "Pentiment"), one game I play online with friends (currently "Return to Moria") and one simple game when I don't want to think too much (currently nothing, I just finished "Vampire Survivors")
I'm also a dad with a full time job. As for how I pick my games, if I do the same thing too long I get bored and don't finish the game. And I like finishing games. So I don't do two horror games back-to-back, or two survival games, or two FPS, etc. I like to switch up. Before "Pentiment" my focus games were "SOMA", "Astroneer", "Conarium", "Green Hell", "The Talos Principle" and "Prey". So, quite varied I think.
It's really fun. But at some point you have enough resources that the game changes from an immersive space sim to a grand strategy game, and you spend most if your time in the map and menu screens.
Ahhh, X4, the greatest space game that nobody ever seems to talk about. I really like it because the economy and supply lines and factories actually work. But it can be a bit janky.
Evoland (and Evoland 2) are actually really fun games with a lot of humor. I highly recommend them if you got the chance.
Yes, Bruno is great! The only downside is that everytime I start it, I have that damn Disney song stuck in my head 😆
Good luck with that! Source: I'm Dutch...
Is it just me or are loops videos not loaded for other people too? (Firefox on Android)
Ohhh, great list. I'd love to try "Hollow Knight" or "Kelvin and the Infamous Machine"
I'd love to put my hat in the ring for either "Full Throttle Remastered" or "Grim Fandango". Thank you!
Does it weigh 80 pounds or cost 80 pounds? Because if it's the former, it may make for a nice anvil 😄
Not really. I didn't play with any mods.
