Almost entirely PC only. I have a bunch of retro consoles but rarely use them.
Things that are a bit outside of your usual zone but are my personal chill favorites and might be enjoyable to look into (they're all on Steam): RimWorld, Banished, Above Snakes, Factorio, Age of Wonders, Pillars of Eternity
Satisfactory is enjoyable, but I missed the same challenge that I had in Factorio. The complexity and fight against the biters is quite something. Still, Satisfactory is very.. satisfactory to move around in and great with friends as well. More chill I think.
Yea for some reason everyone making games like that always sucks at multiplayer. The Civilization series are also terrible at it.
At 1600 hours I'm just a beginner, but this game is so great.
I finished Above Snakes in 18.5 hours and very much enjoyed it. I'd say the game is a 7.5/10. They clearly ran out of time and/or budget, but they had good sales, so some content patches have been promised - and they already did multiple quick bugfix releases.
Now it's back to Rust, as usual.
Oh no I clicked the link
I'm 99% sure this is pushed because of Apple's upcoming XR HMD. NMS is great in VR and having it as a launch title is a pretty good showcase.
RimWorld. Easy to play, hard to master. Also Rust
