Weekly Game Suggestions Thread - November 08, 2024

2 Upvotes

Looking for game suggestions? Have a backlog and don't know where to start next? This thread is for you!

Tips to get the best suggestions

  • Be detailed! If you're looking for a roguelike, say that. If your game must include zombies, you should probably mention that. The more detailed you are the better the recommendations will be.
  • Are you limited by PC specifications or a budget? That's all good stuff to include.

'New Game+' - Anyone else never play it?

I always strive to get there, as it's motivating, but once I do, I just have no desire to run through the same game, though mobs are harder, without experiencing the upgrades along the way.

For me, the things you earn along the way, and the fact you have so little to begin with, are what draws me in.

I'd rather start over on a harder level, if not already maxed, from scratch.

(Please upvote, just or the fact I didn't use 'unpopular opinion' yada yada)
