Seriously, it would be great for mobile. I played the OG ones using a GBA emulator but I want more Advanced Wars
NFL/Fantasy Football! That's what will draw me back to reddit right now
Last update December 2021 makes me sad. I hope he has more updates soon!
Pulsar is the game that I feel like was so close to being a great game but they gave up on it before it got there. Working together to run the ship is awesome but the world is SOOO empty. Like at least add mod support so folks can help or something. I want to love the game but that always stops me.
Fantasy football is a big one for me too
Mount and Blade Warband! Base game is just ok, but mods like Diplomacy make it way better. Then you look at Prophecy of Pendor or Perisno and you've got basically an entirely new game with the same engine and it's awesome. I have hundreds of hours of Mount and Blade, and probably only like 25 of them are vanilla.
There is a pretty decent scripted tabletop simulator for Kingdom Death. Me and a couple buddies player five or six session and we were able to pick up and play pretty quickly.
I was super in to Dominions 3 back in the day, played it online a ton, won a few big games. It's got a brutal learning curve though. Late game when the turns were on a 96 hour timer and that still felt too short..
That's awesome! I have a 6 year old I'm trying to build up to playing better games. That type of game definitely is better with friends/kids. Just the time savings from gathering resources makes a big difference, plus being able to share the epic moments.
The Guild 2 and 3. They are so janky and absurd. Half the mechanics barely work, the dialogue is ridiculous, but the game just has charm. It's got just enough economy mechanics to keep my math brain engaged while mostly playing it like The Sims.
I know the whole "Open world survival craft" genre is super overdone, and has way too many games now, but Valheim is honestly awesome. The fun scales with more people, me and my friends (3-4 usually) have been having a blast.
Hey, thanks for sharing this! This was a really cool article and is definitely good news
