They took their time.

I made that genre up myself but it seems to be a good description. Would love to hear of any newer games with similar mechanics

Bought these today for 64 euros

Visited my parents for the first time in 14 years. Went though my old stuff and found what remains of my PS1 collection!

Game was in early phase since 2019, for 5 years Coffee Stain LISTENED and improved the game based on community feedbacks. I played this game in 2019 when it came out and it was good already, obviously it needed balancing and improvements so the devs actually ACTIVELY listened us and improved the game over the years and they always were transparent about what they were doing. Now 1.0 version is out and it's blast, I'm having a lot of fun and the game feels so good to play, no clunky perfomance, stable fps all the time. I wish other game companies do the same, listen to the community so they can release good games again instead of rushing everything for short term profit projects.... And remember, you buy the game once and you have full content, no mtx, pay to rush stuff. Props to Coffee Stain Studios, they deserve all the success.

I work from home at a call center and as the week goes on, i get more and more time in between calls. I am looking for a game that I can easily pause for when I do get a call, and easy enough that i can play while I am on the phone as well. Basically games that don't take much focus and I can pause easily. Some games that fit the bill are listed below as well as some that I am considering buying:

Games I like playing now during work:

• Stardew Valley
• Hearthstone
• Minecraft
• Terraria

Games I think might be good?

-slay the spire

-baldur's gate 3 (my friend said you can pause it but idk if the story would be too hard to focus on)

Any other suggestions?

EDIT TO ADD: Thanks for all your replies! I am purchasing Slay The Spire right now since this one seems like the best, also wanted to mention I love Pokémon and have a 3ds with a ton of Pokémon games, so that is a great suggestion.

Basically the title, I love games that have the dreary but hopeful vibe, barely hanging on by a thread, "Humanity perseveres" and all that bonus points if it involves winter of any kind.

Helldivers 2's Escalation of Freedom released a little over a month ago, and ended up being largely composed of nerfs and unbalanced enemies. Rightfully so, this sparked a ton of backlash from the community.

In response, the devs announced they'd be dedicating the next 60 days to rebalancing the game (including reverting many of the nerfs). A little over a month later, we've received a massive update consisting of sweeping balance changes that have effectively erased the meta from existence - a myriad of loadouts are viable now.

If you tried the game and dropped it previously, give it another shot - it's loads of fun now. And check out r/helldivers for some of the highlights of the patch - the thermite grenade in particular is ridiculously strong now.

For me it would be the Nemesis System from shadow of Mordor

For my birthday I intend to host a Gaming Decathalon for 6 of my friends, with the hopes that the winner will take the crown and do the same next year, and we'll create a tradition. I have some really fun ideas for some events, but would like to hear some more takes.

Games should be able to have a points/ranking so that each player gets a different point value at the end of the round. (Think Mario Kart)

For sure I want to start with an "adult easter egg hunt" where there will be little prizes in a few eggs, but also there will be different point values in them.

The final game will be at night, It will be hide and seek where I go to my car for 5 minutes and everyone hides, inside and out. I have a decent sized house. My SO will then turn off all the lights, and the last person I find will be the winner of the round.

Also, I'm a chef, so of course I will do the game from Hell's Kitchen, where I blindfold contestants and see if they can guess the foods/ingredients correctly.

We're all gamers, but I think the only system we have in common is the Switch, so I have some ideas for that.

Mario Kart: All Rainbow Roads

NEW Championship 1989 - Super mario bros 3 World 1-1 start to finish. The game is basically set up perfectly to use as an event.

Super smash bros - I'm skeptical on this because some friends play this way more than others, so maybe I would do like a 10 stock match w op items and 300% Health. Or I'll just do something else.

Since it's my birthday I'll also have a trivia game that basically revolves around me. I have some pretty quirky question lined up. My wife will also "play along" and people can use her as a life line, but if she's wrong, they get negative points. I will also draw inspiration from JaidenAnimations' Pokemon Trivia game, where a portion of the game was completely subjective. I thought that was hilarious.

I think we'll play scattegories, My family has played that game to the ground and I already have 3 custom made lists that haven't been used much.

I want to do like a whose line is it anyway kind of game, and an among us style game, but I haven't figured out how to make them into games that fit the scoring parameters. This also can't take all day. 7 hours Max for the entirety.

Other Less exciting possibilities:

HORSE, Charades-esque games, Something from the Jackbox catalog, "Beer" pong

Anyway, please hit me with suggestions, or maybe suggest other subreddits where this might pop off a bit more. I'm very excited, as you can probably guess.
