I use to be really into these when I was younger. Nowadays I just don鈥檛 have the time they take to fully get involved in them. If you are someone just looking to play one game for months or longer these kinds of games can be great. There is just so much on market these days I find that rather hard to do.
Despite all my years of playing this game as a kid. I rarely talk about or even write about this game. I see it as a former life and I miss the real sense of community that was around the game that I鈥檝e not come across in a gaming sense. At least to the degree, it was in that game.
My journey of starting over as a fresh noob with nothing but a group of friends while I dualbox being the healer and tank.
Guilds of Gods has a heavy focus on gathering resources and crafting with them. This is something I tend to enjoy in a game and Guilds of Gods has an interesting twist in how the player can go about doing so. This is great since the game has 23 different skills that you can level up as you control up to five adventurers that each has their separate skills.
That classic trope of riding along in a wagon I can only hope means I鈥檓 about to embark on quite the adventure. So far I have some mixed feelings about Lost Ark. It is an ARPG that was released back in 2019 that has just arrived in western and other markets.
New World is an MMO by amazon that I'll be playing a fair amount of over the next several months. This section will be updated over time with thoughts I have on the game, guides, and adventur4es i get up to.
As someone who did not grow up playing this game at all, I felt it was finally time to see what all the fuss was about. While quite time-consuming I have enjoyed what little I have done in the game so far. I played it as a f2p and never moved beyond that. The game requires a little more time than I鈥檓 willing to put in these days.
Another game I had plans to go crazy on content creation over. Thanks to what I felt was rather lackluster after playing it for a while I moved onto other games. My main joy for whatever reason for a game like WoW is the gold making. There was so little thrill in that department I have not since looked back to see how that going for the game.
I have always loved the add-on created a community for this game and the developer鈥檚 acceptance of it within reason. So many games out there would instantly ban you for any of those add-ons!
The motto for this expansion might as well been -- been there done that.
While I鈥檓 not a gold farmer I do take joy in farming and acquiring the gold. One of the few reasons I even wanted to play the game again in the first place. It was a big letdown.
I at least had some fun while it lasted in the first couple of weeks farming and selling items on the auction house.
Never been a big fan of these games. Some games in this genre seem to come with almost yearly releases that don鈥檛 always add much from the last one. The two I鈥檝e liked are a bit different from normal. While they can still be somewhat mundane with the tasks at hand sometimes that is the whole point.
Pump gas, fix cars, and try and keep the place clean.
I have such fond memories of playing Dinopark Tycoon as a kid and while this does not quite live up to it. There is still lots of fun to be had like letting the Rex escape and partake in the guests for the evening. There is also the joy of breeding your dinosaurs and messing with their DNA to give them that extra spark in the eye of fear.
A terrifyingly good time ends the world simulator game for those who are not a germaphobe. These kinds of things do creep me out a bit just how easy it is to keep a pathogen non-lethal being accepted in with open border, shipping lanes, and flights. Spreading in the shadows till it鈥檚 time to unleash Armageddon on your simulated word and end it.
Prison Architect is a simulation strategy game where the player manages and builds a prison. You get to manage just about every aspect of sleeping, rehabilitation programs, guard patrol, and so on. Along the way, you are trying to manage the books by keeping costs low but not so low or you end up getting a riot to deal with.
If you are extremely OCD about getting every little splatter spot, wrapper, and bullet this game can sure suck you in. It is one of the stranger games I鈥檝e owned. For whatever reason, it鈥檚 just a relaxing gore-filled good time. With blood splatter, all the walls and messages were written on the floor. There is also something twistedly satisficing about using the incinerator to dispose of the evidence.
I grew up playing physical collective card games like MTG and enjoying the social and environment that comes with them. It鈥檚 great to start seeing a lot more digital in this space.
While several blockchain games are also CCG I鈥檝e placed them under blockchain since they are a bit different and not as straight forward to get started as more traditional games in this space are.
For those who played Gwent as the mini-game in the Witcher 3 you are in luck, they made a full card game out of it. It鈥檚 a bit different than most with two lanes for combat. Along with leaders having their skills that decks are made around. The best part is it鈥檚 free to play unless you want to buy some card packs and other stuff. They are always adding new content with quite a few systems that make logging in daily a fun way to keep coming back for more.
Legends of Runeterra is a DCCG that is f2p currently in open beta. They have some interesting game mechanics to try and pull off what players in card games have always wanted. Meanwhile, trying to create a fairer way for people to buy the cards they want; instead of, buying booster packs with random hopes of gambling to get the cards they want.
MTG itself is quite an older and more established game card game with Arena being an online version of it. I check out many of the features from playing to how a player can acquire digital cards. The game is quite deep and I鈥檝e only scratched the surface of it. I may consider writing more content about this game in the future. It has a lot of amazing prospects for that.
I start by taking a look at the basics of the game. I played for a couple of days but wanted to give my honest thoughts on it before diving deeper into a longer period.
I round up my content by sharing my experience of being a free to play player over a long period. I had quite a blast and it renewed my enjoyment of a childhood classic for me.
I use to be really into collecting physical cards for games like Magic The Gathering and Pok茅mon. Those were the good old days without much care in the world.
A collective card game based around the lore and world of Elder Scrolls. I wished they had gone further with this one I think it could have been bigger than it was. Still, quite a fun game to play with a two-lane system and some other stuff that makes it stand out in this genre. While you can start playing for free you need to earn or buy all the DLC and other content in the game. The DLC themselves have a bit of a lore flare to them while they tell a narrative as you play through different matches and earn new cards.
There is nothing like plotting the perfect plan and defeating one's foe. Even better if you are forced to adapt and change to any incoming challenges. I don鈥檛 play these games as much as I鈥檇 like to.
If you know about the red disk than you know.
This game was inspired by Wargames and the graphics sure give you that vibe. Sometimes keeping things simple allows a game staying powering and aging from a game mechanics standpoint. Not a very hard game to learn and it鈥檚 decently fast to play a game as well. All in all, I would use nukes again!
While in the modern day of gaming a title like this is considered long dead and forgotten it鈥檚 still playable for the most part. Along with bringing some nostalgia and fun to an afternoon!
I often wonder how games like these hold up after a significate amount of time has passed. This game was for a while a big fun factor in my life.
Mindustry is a tower defense game where the player gathers resources, builds up his industry, and defends off waves of attacking robots. In the process, the player decides at certain wave intervals if they wish to escape with what they have stocked piled or keep going.
It has been quite a long time since I鈥檝e played a RollerCoaster Tycoon title. This is a bit of an older game from 2004 that has been remastered and hence the complete edition in its name.
Many times I explored different kinds of content presentation and process. This one I wanted to look into the free game they have for a limited time over on humblebundle. Where I would play the game for 5-10 hours and then write a first impression review while still having enough time left over for people to find my review and get the game themselves. It was exhausting and I never attempted to do it again since it was something like a 72-hour offer.
A cyberpunk style game where you control character and use them to get into facilities to overthrow the corrupt system. I take a look at the different characters you get to control, the map, missions, gear, and other stuff.
A couple of my childhood years were spent playing this game. I go back in the past for a blast of nostalgia. I relived playing the campaign, dominating with carriers, and remembering my favorite maps. The best thing is the older version is now free to play as well since they want people to buy the remastered version. This is nice not having to buy the game yet again I鈥檝e scratched the CD a couple of times over the years. The Korean servers are still packed as if time never moved forward!
The Escapists is a game about escaping out of a series of prisons. You could be an outstanding remodel inmate that never misses an attendance roll call or someone who does not play by any of the rules that are endlessly getting put into the hole. Either way sooner or late you have hatched a grand escape and only time will tell if you are successful.
Uplink a classic with many wishing there was a sequel that never happened. This was a fun one to go down nostalgia lane again and replay. You don鈥檛 need a lot of time or even a powerful computer to just jump in and have Hollywood type hacking simulator fun in this game.
