    If you are the simmy type or like space, Elite Dangerous is insanely good, but has a learning curve up front. It’s the only game I’ve put over 1,100 hours in and still haven’t explored everything.

    Subnautica is another game I can highly recommend.

    If you wanna play games with friends (Elite is also MP), The Forest is a great game to bond over.

    Black mesa is another banger.

    The entire Creeper World series is on sale- Creeper World 1 and 2 are $2.49, Creeper World 3 is $4.94, and Creeper World 4 is $9.99. Personally, I don’t like Creeper World 2 so I would suggest any of them but that one. CW2 is side on and I’m not a fan. CW1 and 3 are top down, and CW4 is properly 3D.

    The first couple of Creeper World games used to be flash games you could play in browser, but after the age of Java games they ported them to Steam and kept making more and better games.

    The basic concept is that it’s a cross between a very simplified RTS and a tower defense game, with the added curveball that the enemy is just a liquid that won’t stop showing up everywhere.

    No Man’s Sky is down to $23.99. I remember the launch was poor but they kept working on it and improving it. I picked it up a couple years ago on Xbox and have enjoyed it

    Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

      It’s not really my jam

      I watched someone’s entire playthrough of it on YouTube, which I find to be a decent middle ground. In fact, someone else I know doesn’t even game any more and just watches playthroughs; better to see an expert do it with insightful or fun commentary than to get frustrated from not knowing what to do, etc. when we have such limited time in our lives anyway. Maybe that’s why I generally prioritize roguelites nowadays; if I’m gonna play something, I wanna ensure it’s a unique challenge that possibly not even the devs have ever exactly seen, and not simply be treated like a rat in a fixed maze to figure out precisely or struggle otherwise when other people have done it.

      Anyway, I digress; Infested Planet is $1.94 USD for another recommendation, and it’s awesome. The trailer undersells it if anything.

      Going to vouch for this game. I’ve been really enjoying it.

      Best experienced without spoilers. Don’t even look up the creatures if you can resist.

      You are not a hero, you’re are a small animal in a living ecosystem.

        I bought it a couple of months ago and oh boy this game is amazing. The story is really well written. I am not much of a first person shooter guy but this game is definitely worth it. The story is great, the atmosphere is amazing, it is a really well made game and especially now with the overall international state of affairs and the rise of AI, its depressively dystopian story feels even more relatable and even the fighting is fun and versatile.
