PC Gamers! What do you enjoy?

I find it so hard to find new games that I enjoy! And more importantly, ones where I can drop and pick up as needed. I work full time, have a 2 hour commute and with kids' activities and birthday parties on weekends I really only get to spend a few hours on an occasional Sunday gaming.

Currently I'm playing My Time at Sandrock on early access. It's working very well for me because I don't get to play too often, so the new content release every month or so is great for me!

I loved:

  • it takes two
  • disco elysium
  • witcher 3 (couldn't get into 2)
  • stardew valley
  • WoW (back in the day)
  • The Wolf Among Us
  • A Night in the Woods

I also liked Dragon Age Origins and RDR2, but I stopped having time to play for a while and now I feel it's been too long to pick up and I won't remember them.

I also still like the Sims for exactly the same reasons I did when I was 14 😂 but one or two weekends bingeing it and I don't want to play it again for a year! (We don't own any consoles apart from the switch and I played Animal Crossing for a bit but found it too rigid an environment for my availability.)

Ooo watching this post having just spent 4 hours playing Civilisation 6 🙈
My go to games currently are sims, far cry, skyrim, red dead redemption and two point hospital. I had a very unhealthy obsession with theme hospital when I was a teen and two point hospital is such a good updated version!

Theme hospital was a classic,

@Hawkins003 Well done Hawkins, impressive response, I never knew CoD could be of use like that but you taught me something new tonight. Thanking you 🙂

Your welcome, it's basically Jason Bourne style training , but the game reinforces those skills

@DinosaurOfFire Skyrim is beautiful but most of them want to fight. People say the mods help with making the game even better, never tried tho

@Hawkins003 How does one apply this to RL? 😋 I suppose CoD is mostly guys tho

Situational awareness, have escape routes planned, know the cities your in, study various reports on the cities about different aspects, know the locations of all major tourist areas, keep up-to date with local news about what's going on in x areas, never presume your always safe in an area, always scan for potential risk checkpoints,

Game wise, I do enjoy learning the tactics and skills, gives you some good military training.

@Hawkins003 How is Call of Duty? Does it keep you up?

It's excellent on the mode called dmz, as they have added computer controlled bots, which are very good, I prefer sniping I play for around an hr here and there it's a mix really.

I love the Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim is beautiful and can be popped into for 10 minutes or 2 hours depending on how long you've got.

The Civilization games are fab but addictive!

Also Spiritfarer is fab, cosy, about death and dying but is a management type game, again you can play for hours or minutes. Calico is nice and peaceful and a similar sort of vibe.

I also enjoy minecraft! Creating things, mining, exploring, fighting pixilated monsters. Its good fun and can be done collaboratively too.

Kentucky Route Zero? Might work

A Night in the Woods was lovely. I loved all the characters. Ouch when Mae's laptop got infected with unsavory websites 😤

I know this is an old post but bumping as I’m in the same boat. Considering resubscribing to WoW for a bit.
