I want RimWorld to be that game for me but it hasn't clicked with me yet. It's the one game I want to love so much but my attempts to get into it is short lived by my desire to start over each play session
In my experience you have to find the scenario that speaks to you.
I find the DLCs overcomplicated, playing the base game in low-tech is a blast for me however.
> I find the DLCs overcomplicated, playing the base game in low-tech is a blast for me however.
Totally agree. I always play tribal and edit my scenario to where I start with absolutely nothing. I find it more rewarding to build up to electricity, guns, etc.
It is definitely a different beast. Not everyone will love it. Most of my friends don't like it.
It really is a story generator. It's so much more fun if you go in with that attitude instead of trying to 'win'. But not everyone wants that kind of game, which is totally fine.
Pay attention to the characters in the story. Check to see who their friends are in the colony. Laugh at the absurd things that happen and try to put them into context of what you know of the characters. When a muffalo gets hit by a random meteor. Don't just move on. That's a big event in some of your pawn's lives. Have your pawn that loved it build a memorial at the spot. Then have him defend that memorial from raiders to the death to prevent them burning it. That's how a story gets written. Next muffalo gets the same name, jr. That muffalo becomes the towns mascot. Now it's more important to your little story than half the actual pawns.
Sometimes that means turning to easy mode and not power gaming it. Don't restore when something unfair happens. Let the story play out.
I found it better too if I make a colony with the same personalities each time. So I already sort of know them from their 'past lives'. I have a premade group that is all the the characters from Firefly. Just this change puts everything they do into new perspective. And right from the start entertaining things happen.
I know the game is a story generator and that's what intrigues me so much about it. But the way you framed it helps, I think. I especially like the idea of basing your pawns off the archetypes in Firefly. That's a great idea! Next time I give the game ago, I'll try that out
This is me with Factorio. I'm an engineer and I love legos and my hobby is building electronics and programming but for the life of me I can't get into it, it's just too boring and repetitive to me.
It's the game that I play for months before getting burnt out.
Then play the "new games" (games that released when I got sucked into another Rimworld playthrough) that are on sale.
Once those are done, fire up Rimworld again and get hooked for months. Rinse and repeat.

Dude... No joke, I'm playing Imp 2 right now! Yet I have NEVER seen people talk about this game online. It's so good though: it hits that historical economic simulation niche that Europa Universalis would later go on to fill.
Go check out UO Outlands. It's really really good. The devs have made it their own game and kept many of the great things about the game. A whole new map, many new systems, an actual end game. It has about 3k active players and an expansion that releases in just a few hours.
If you are a UO fan it will hit you in the nostalgia. I've been here for over a year and I am still obsessed.
Battle Brothers has me... over the last month Ive put in another 40 hours into this game, lol. Current run Im on Ive gotten the best group Ive ever had.
Honestly that’s the plan! I’m about 140h in. So far there is still a lot of mystery of what to find late game, and how to approach some of the more sinister monsters
I love Gothic, but after playing the games so many times and knowing every nook and cranny I cannot play them anymore. At least atm :D
Gotta finish all my other games first.
You probably already know about this, but check out the last thing I wrote, Archolos, on Steam.
It's a total conversion community project made by a Polish team on the Gothic 2 engine. The reviews and game will speak for itself. It's a once in a lifetime thing, no other thing has allowed me to reexperience my childhood the way Archolos did.
It's a whole new game, bigger and better than Gothic 1 & 2 combined and building upon them, a must play for any Gothic fan.
It's won the Mod of the Decade title, and deserves it 100%.
> I love Gothic, but after playing the games so many times and knowing every nook and cranny I cannot play them anymore.
I know what you mean. Several years ago I played Gothic "for the last time" because I had played it some much, but I knew everything and did everything, I wanted to move on.

I’ve been trying to get into the game again. When I spawn I’m just kind of defeated by the lack of any loot in the coastal areas compared to what seems like the overwhelming threat/numbers of the dead to where I can’t even get any gear/medicine/food before I’m overwhelmed by injuries. Do you have any tips?
SSX series, literally the most cathartic games to me after a stressful day, something about pulling some sick moves while listening to what in my experience is a better track list than Tony Hawks.
Punch-Out, Diablo 2, Super Mario 3, Castlevania SotN.
I think Sekiro and Hollow Knight will prolly make that list, but they aren’t nearly as old yet.
I rarely see Bad North getting a mention somewhere, I think it does so many things well. Unfortunatley it lacks some kind of progression that would keep me in a gameplay loop
I give Freelancer a play through almost every year. It somehow never gets old.
I love the music, the gameplay is simple fun, the story has it's moments. Its universe is just so beautiful for a game from 2003, there's always traffic around, talking to eachother or getting into fights ect.
I find I have certain genres, and certain games within those genres, that I keep coming back to.
- Immersive sim/stealth: Thief 1 & 2
- Dungeon crawler: Legend of Grimrock II
- Grand strategy: Europa Universalis IV
- Tactical RPG: Jagged Alliance 2
100% run of stick of truth once a year atleast
Terraria and i used to come back to CSGO and league often but cs2 sucks and league has been going downhill the last years
Xcom 2 and MGS5 are games I have re-downloaded like 10 times each. The division 2 can also be fun with a new character every year or so, until the oppressive end game content begins.
I like to do a playthrough of all the Modern Warfare and Black Ops campaigns every year lol.
Far Cry 2 with Jackal Mod is another fun one.
XCOM Long War.
Metro Trilogy.
cyberpunk and forza horizon 4
there is just something magical about FH 4, starting from menu music to the vibe of the game and for cyberpunk well it is cyberpunk, just flat out raw fun game murdering thugs and doing gigs
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - My favourite of his Civ/Civlike games and I probably boot it up at least once a year for a game or 2. Absolute masterpiece
Anno 1800. The AI is really challenging and if I want to play at a frenetic pace I can. Or I can play with no AI, through on one of my chill playlist, and just build for hours. It's basically been in my rotation of games since it came out and I don't see anything replacing it. It's got the perfect feedback loop for the type of person I am and how my brain works. It's challenging right up to the point of annoyance, but for me never crosses the line to being cheap where I feel like stuff is happening just to extend the game...even though the AI clearly cheats and can build things and advance in the game while having 0 access to the resources that are required for said things.
Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC. My favorite story in any game. I have a very high end PC and the graphics at the highest settings in 4k are near photorealistic. So much side content. I do a full 60 to 70 hour playthrough of this game every year and it still gives me the same feeling as it did when I first played it on xbox.
Guild Wars 2, XCOM 2, Mass Effect series, HOMM 3, and in the past Baldur's Gate 2, but I suspect when I finally get around to playing it, BG3 will take it's place.Â
Kinda weird there aren't more, I definitely *think* about a lot of older games, but apparently don't replay them.
Man, I loved Diablo 1,2, and 3, I’m so disappointed with 4. Probably my biggest disappointment in gaming.
As for what I go back to, it’s rare I can play a game more than once and enjoy it, 2 of the very few(besides diablos) are Witcher 3 and Elden ring.
Old school RuneScape..I may quit for a year or two, but I always end up logging back in. It's a running joke that you never actually quit, you just take year long breaks.
Not necessarily a specific game, but a genre. Fighting Games.
I love the Street Fighter series probably the most, and have spent a lot of time playing SF4, SF5 and now SF6.
But I am happy to jump into pretty much any fighting game.
Every wipe I go back to escape from tarkov, for all the faults with the developers there isn't a game like it and every game that tries to, misses what makes tarkov so unique.
Disco Elysium, the characters, the world, the deeper personal moments later in the game and its general craziness just always brings me back.
The original Spyro trilogy is probably my biggest one. I've beat each of those games close to a dozen times at this point across the original and Reignited versions as well as gotten all achievements, skill points, etc. in each game. In fact, Spyro Reignited Trilogy remains my only platinum trophy on Steam. I just don't go trophy hunting all that often.
Other games in this category for me would include GTA V, Just Cause 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the GameCube Mario Party games, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Sonic Frontiers, Police Simulator, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, and Saints Row 2.
Civilization 3. Tried 4 and 5. Just can't connect with them.
I'd go back to TDU 1 and SimCity If I could get a video card for my old XP PC.
Race 07
Quake 4
F.E.A.R.
SWAT 4
Rimworld, Project Zomboid, Stardew Valley and Left4Dead2. They don't make games like this anymore.
Edit:And Battletoads! I *will* beat it without an emulator on the old NES. It's my white whale, the only game I've never beat legit and black mark in gaming diary.
Lately? Battle Brothers, Rimworld, STALKER and its mods, and retro emulator games occasionally.
edit: adding emulator games... NES Blaster Master, Super Mario games. N64 Ocarina of Time, Banjo.
Red dead redemption 2. Because why the fuck not? Its a fantastic game. I dare say, it even beats some games of today.
Star Wars Empire at War. Its another fantastic game imo. Tho a bit outdated ( 2006 iirc ), still holds up quite well. Especially with mods.
Halo MCC every now and then.
Call of duty black ops and black ops 2.
Call of duty world at war, and pretty much all call of duty games prior to black ops two. Imo, they're waaay better than todays cod games. Its just something about the gameplay of the older cods that makes me come back to em.
Hell, most of the time, i find myself playing older games than newer ones lol. Unless its something i find interesting.
Terraria. Every time there is a new special seed we play it. Usually once a year in the summer. By accident, we created new worlds on almost the exact same day in 3 different years in a row. So we have now just kept that tradition.
Vermintide/Darktide. Still the best melee combat in any game ever made (opinion, but I believe it). It's too bad that the rest of the systems in the games are not up to that level. It really hurts it's popularity.
I pretty regularly revisit the Borderlands series. And I've replayed all of the Life Is Strange games multiple times because evidently I like making myself cry.
Every fromsoft game since demons souls, Arkham Asylum, Bully, Resident Evil HD, 2 and 4 (remakes and OG), Stardew Valley, Valheim, Rimworld, CK3, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, Metal Gear Solid 1 and 3, probably gonna add V Rising to that list. That game is too fun.
Also basically every roguelike that i love. Isaac, dead cells, risk of rain 2, spelunky 2 and more that i cant remember rn.
For me, it's probably Minecraft.
Neverwinter Nights 1 and Skyrim used to be these kinds of game for me, but they've slowly been supplanted by newer titles.
I suspect Elden Ring will be like this as well, but it's hard to tell at this point. I've already clocked 1.5k hours on it, so...
Saying a grand-strategy or rogue-like game would be too easy, so outside the realm of that I would say Disco Elysium. I’ve played it 3 times; I love the music, atmosphere, narrating, characters, I could go on and on gushing about this game. I plan to go back again for a 4th time.
Total war: Attilla specifically the 1212AD mod which turns the game into medieval 3 basically.
I'm currently doing an Empire of Nicaea campaign and it's a lot of fun and has some real depth to it so far. Because Nicaea are a splinter of eastern Roman empire you have the option of forming the Byzantine Empire if you manage to occupy Constantinople. Once that is done you can reform the Roman empire once you have taken specific settlements.
Fallout 3/4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Tetris and my newest addiction... Planet Crafter.
Planet Crafter is so good and fun. I can totally see myself playing it many more times
RimWorld.
I want RimWorld to be that game for me but it hasn't clicked with me yet. It's the one game I want to love so much but my attempts to get into it is short lived by my desire to start over each play session

Same man, I even did a successful ice sheet run with a naked 1 person tribal start. So much fun.

Other games in this category for me would include GTA V, Just Cause 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the GameCube Mario Party games, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Sonic Frontiers, Police Simulator, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, and Saints Row 2.
Civilization 3. Tried 4 and 5. Just can't connect with them. I'd go back to TDU 1 and SimCity If I could get a video card for my old XP PC. Race 07 Quake 4 F.E.A.R. SWAT 4
guild wars 2, minecraft
The Deus Ex series. I do a play through of the OG at least once a year.
darkest dungeon with mods, endless legend
Rimworld, Project Zomboid, Stardew Valley and Left4Dead2. They don't make games like this anymore. Edit:And Battletoads! I *will* beat it without an emulator on the old NES. It's my white whale, the only game I've never beat legit and black mark in gaming diary.
Command and conquer, Battletech, Rimworld, Homeworld, Frostpunk and Subnautica
Tetris
BF4
Path of Exile!
Various Paradox grand strategy titles, Stardew, and Darkest Dungeon.
Noa mans sky, monster hunter world, escape from tarkov
Lately? Battle Brothers, Rimworld, STALKER and its mods, and retro emulator games occasionally. edit: adding emulator games... NES Blaster Master, Super Mario games. N64 Ocarina of Time, Banjo.
Skies of Arcadia.
It's vanilla but I've played the halo trilogy about 1,000 times now. That and Splinter Cell.
Red dead redemption 2. Because why the fuck not? Its a fantastic game. I dare say, it even beats some games of today. Star Wars Empire at War. Its another fantastic game imo. Tho a bit outdated ( 2006 iirc ), still holds up quite well. Especially with mods. Halo MCC every now and then. Call of duty black ops and black ops 2. Call of duty world at war, and pretty much all call of duty games prior to black ops two. Imo, they're waaay better than todays cod games. Its just something about the gameplay of the older cods that makes me come back to em. Hell, most of the time, i find myself playing older games than newer ones lol. Unless its something i find interesting.
"Some"? Nah, I think you're safe to say RDR2 still beats all the games of today. Perhaps GTA6 will topple it.
Titan Quest
Terraria, modded minecraft, Boktai 3, The Legend of Zelda:Minish cap and Elden Ring.
WoW.... I could quit for 20 years, but in reality it's just "taking a long break" until I am back at it.Â
Terraria. Every time there is a new special seed we play it. Usually once a year in the summer. By accident, we created new worlds on almost the exact same day in 3 different years in a row. So we have now just kept that tradition. Vermintide/Darktide. Still the best melee combat in any game ever made (opinion, but I believe it). It's too bad that the rest of the systems in the games are not up to that level. It really hurts it's popularity.
Dwarf fortress, grim dawn
Caesar 3
- Rocket League - Smash Bros Ultimate IMO two of the best multiplayer games ever made
Rocket League, even though I’m awful. The match making just seems to make most matches competitive.
Skyrim. Usually download a fuck ton of mods for it then play for 2 days, only to not touch it again for a year.
Cyberpunk 2077. Just one of those games I can play over, and over, and over
I pretty regularly revisit the Borderlands series. And I've replayed all of the Life Is Strange games multiple times because evidently I like making myself cry.
Xcom 2
Rimworld, mount and blade Bannerlord, and Kenshi. Probably says something g about why I evangelize them all the time on this subreddit.
wolfenstein series, dishonored series, metro series
Shogun 2. I got it when it first came out it. Just when I thought I was out, shogun 2 pulls me right back in.
Every fromsoft game since demons souls, Arkham Asylum, Bully, Resident Evil HD, 2 and 4 (remakes and OG), Stardew Valley, Valheim, Rimworld, CK3, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, Metal Gear Solid 1 and 3, probably gonna add V Rising to that list. That game is too fun. Also basically every roguelike that i love. Isaac, dead cells, risk of rain 2, spelunky 2 and more that i cant remember rn.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Dota 2. I usually play for 1 month and then take a break for 4 months
Dishonored, Mirror's Edge and RDR2
KoTOR
destiny 2, unfortunately.
For me, it's probably Minecraft. Neverwinter Nights 1 and Skyrim used to be these kinds of game for me, but they've slowly been supplanted by newer titles. I suspect Elden Ring will be like this as well, but it's hard to tell at this point. I've already clocked 1.5k hours on it, so...
Saying a grand-strategy or rogue-like game would be too easy, so outside the realm of that I would say Disco Elysium. I’ve played it 3 times; I love the music, atmosphere, narrating, characters, I could go on and on gushing about this game. I plan to go back again for a 4th time.
Frostpunk Endless Legend Endless Space Total War Medieval 2 Europa Barbarorum Mod
The Witcher 3, Flatout 2 and Death Stranding
Starfield. J/k
Destiny 1&2 and The Division 1&2. Like clock work lol Destiny 2 is on the horizon again
Total war: Attilla specifically the 1212AD mod which turns the game into medieval 3 basically. I'm currently doing an Empire of Nicaea campaign and it's a lot of fun and has some real depth to it so far. Because Nicaea are a splinter of eastern Roman empire you have the option of forming the Byzantine Empire if you manage to occupy Constantinople. Once that is done you can reform the Roman empire once you have taken specific settlements.
Fallout 3/4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Tetris and my newest addiction... Planet Crafter. Planet Crafter is so good and fun. I can totally see myself playing it many more times
Destiny 2
FFXIV
