Steam awards never fail to be baffling.
That's great, thanks a lot!
I second AoE4, I started playing this year and made it to conqueror recently, it does a great job at teaching you mechanics in a very intuitive way.
Probably Remnant 2 although Hi-Fi Rush is close behind.
Bungie can fuck everything up without Bobby's help tbh.
I feel like Bethesda really missed the mark on what makes their games special.
You can see the improvement in quest design and writing with questlines like the crimson fleet but it's missing the glue holding everything together, the fantastic open world map that's always there and Starfield does not have.
I think mods are eventually going to make Starfield into another timeless classic but they've never felt necessary before, Skyrim took everyone by storm as soon as it came out.
Isn't the comment I answered to doing the same though? Based entirely on whether it is positive or negative and the play time, they reached the conclusion that it was sunk cost fallacy.
My point was that user reviews are a mixed bag and people will leave negative reviews on games they enjoyed for whatever reason but I guess it didn't come across very well.
I mean, we see this kind of review all the time. It's generally people that run out of things to do and start complaining that the game doesn't have infinite content.
Good to see Remnant doing so well, it's by far one of the best games this year.
The thing about live service is that it's also a money-vacuum, they need to be making loads of money to keep themselves going.
Starfield probably hasn't lived up to anyone's expectations but people are acting like it's not a solid game still.
You guys don't want another 3rd person action/adventure game with hack and slash combat? They even have pretty graphics (as far as consoles are concerned)!
Dishonored 1 and 2.
I'll sign up for Returnal.
A few months ago I ran into the demo for an indie game called Laika: Aged through Blood. It came out around a month ago and it's an extremely solid indie game, I'd suggest anyone who likes metroidvanias a shot if you don't mind them being unforgiving as hell.
I think I understand what you mean, I only played Splatoon 2 so I don't have much to add, I don't think there is much of a population left sadly.
Kong and TWD not being on the list kind of shows the problem with Metacritic overall, a lot of people have reviewed those games but there is no numerical score so it's not here.
Can you elaborate a bit? I played Splatoon 2 until Nintendo started charging for the online but, as far as I know, Splatoon 3 only has a free battlepass.
Am I missing anything?
I haven't seen Splatoon being recommended here, it's a ton of fun and has no microtransactions. You can but your kid a Switch for cheap nowadays.
