Pokemon pinball for the GBA anyone?

Love me some Far Cry games

It's the only time I'll ever get an Ubisoft game, and usually I'll pick them up on deep sales

But for whatever reason they just scratch a particular itch

I hated the ending of 5, but it was otherwise alright

6 was whatever, but overall not as bad as the reviews made it out to be imo

Sometimes I want to blow things up and get headshots. So I’ll see if there’s a Call of Duty on sale and just play the single player. It’s rare though, and at the moment my blowing things up itch is being scratched by Space Marine.

I've been playing the android version of Bit Heroes. It's terrible for multiple reasons but I've been playing it because the game can be played semi-passively, meaning that I can multitask while playing it. In fact, I'm actually playing it right now while I'm typing this comment.

Recently it's been Chaos Zero Nightmare on my phone. Yeah, it's a gacha. Yeah it has some absolutely ridiculous gooneriffic character designs that makes me roll my eyes. Yeah it's poorly translated and the story is garbage.

But you know what? The actual roguelike deckbuilder game mode is actually a ton of fun. The characters are well balanced enough that I've never felt like I was behind on power even with comparably "bad" pulls from the gacha. The game has been generous enough anyway that I have a lot of pulls saved up too. And the mutability and variety in the roguelike mode is just amazing. Tons of combos, tons of variations of every card and tons of opportunities to make niche builds work just because you happened to get one specific rare upgrade variation on one specific card while also stumbling upon one specific neutral card to add to your deck and stuff like that.

And all for the price of free? I can't complain.

For me is Dragon Ball Dokkan Battle. Its a Gachal so it has its share of nasty monetization strategies and dark patrerns but since its PvE only, its not as agregious as other titles focused on PvP.

Dragon Ball was the first anime I warched so the Nostalgia factor is very high. I really enjoy the Character attack animations and the team building.

Polarity

You're essentially just trying to make less mistakes then your opponent but the semi-hovering magnets have an awesome table presence

Links Awakening, it’s just been a favorite of mine since I was a kid.

Heroes of Might and Magic III, although I don't think the game is bad.
What's bad is that there's really nothing new to it and yet from time to time I sink lots of hours into a new campaign.
It's a kind of time machine bringing me back to more innocent times...
For the same reasons I need to beat some computer opponents in Broodwar on Big Game Hunters every once in a while.

Hentai games are my guilty pleasures in that regard

I've wasted so many hours looking at tiny circles go up in Game Dev Tycoon

Lego Tower. It’s a silly game with almost nothing to do. And I put more hours into it than anything else

It’s interesting to see what people genuinely consider to be bad, or maybe they just missed that word? 😅

For me, it would have to be Under The Skin; a solid 6/10 game, in a world where 7/10 is considered average!

Skyrim. Load up some new mods, play a completely different character. The magic of Bethesda’s old games is that they leave the player free to imagine what they are. The upside of having the PC have no personality is that you get to project whatever personality you like onto them. Don’t initiate the main quest, don’t bother with dragons, play pretty much the entire game as if it is your own sandbox. It’s grand.

Pocket Pool.

Not to be confused with pocket billiards.

all those Artifex Mundi hidden object games :D

They're essentially reskins of the same simplistic gameplay and weak stories for like 15 years, but sometimes I still get in the mood for one :D

I love the better ones' environmental art, but I'd be wary to pick up ones made in the last few years bc I'm pretty sure they started to use AI as soon as it became available, due to the conveyor belt nature of the genre.

EDIT: Ok apparently I was wrong, and they just altogether stopped releasing their games on PC since the pandemic O.o
