Urban Rivals. No one is talking about that game anymore. It used to be an amazing browser game. By now it's even on steam, but apparently they cut a lot of the animations so the crowd isn't happy about it. The card artworks are cool and the gameplay (was) fun. I don't know if it's still the same, as live games tend to change game mechanics.
Every other game I play('d) is mentioned at least sometimes (once a week).
Even stuff like Gothic, Golden Sun, Ragnarok Online.
My eyes naturally found Golden Sun in your comment, so I immediately upvoted before I finished reading your thoughts.
Now I’m curious about Urban Rivals and will check it out since I haven’t played browser games since ~2000-2006.
Board game: Sheriff of Nottingham, i just love social deception games.
Video game: BETON BRUTAL, 3D platformer with similar parkour like Minecraft, but more polished. Overall pretty chill to sink some time into.
Jade cocoon 2 for the PS2.
A brilliant mix of tactics and Pokemon. You have a box composed of 8 slots surrounding you, 4 edges of different coolers, and 4 corners that combine 2 colors, you get to pick of 6 monsters to fill those 8 slots, each edge is a different style of move, red is attack, blue is defend, green is heal, yellow is cast, some monsters only have 1 color affiliated with them, some have 3, you select which side/color of box you want to attack your opponent with, if you don't have a monster in the middle of that color they can attach your hit point pool directly.
I rarely see it mentioned, and I think that's a shame, it was very creative for being in a very popular genre
Probably havent player it in ten years but Kirby super star ultra. There is just SO MUCH content. I swear there are like a dozen minigamss and multiple "main games". All on the DS, it's crazy.
Other than that, megaman zero. Great music, tight controls and great story. Its fucking hard of course but super fun.
I never see Cultist Simulator recommended but it's one of my favorites. It really captures the idea of studying the esoteric arts, and has a surprising amount of world building given how simple the presentation is.
Actual recommendations, but bring your friends AND beer:
Super SMASH Tv
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
———————————————
Only if you’re a masochist because you REALLY REALLY like flying through rings then Superman64 is probably the best game there is
Zombies Ate My Neighbors was a masterpiece. It had somewhat similar gameplay, graphics and humor to one of my other favorites that I've never seen mentioned - Herc's Adventures on PSX. Not sure if they were the same studio or something?
Edit: So I looked it up, and yeah, both made by LucasArts within a few years, so likely the same team or at least a lot of crossover.
I really like backgammon but no one ever wants to play with me
Loco roco 1,2,3 on psp. Played the shit out of them when I was a kid
The Incredible Machine! the original Rube Goldberg game. me and my friends played the shit out of it in the 90s. a few years ago i decided to give it a google and i found out that not only were there an expansion i hadn't heard of, there were five other games in the series.
World in Conflict is one I don't see talked about. Squad based military RTS.
Multiplayer on that was so fun. Guessing how the enemy was moving in order to time how you call ordinance on them was my favorite part
I don't know about favorite, but a game I remember playing ball in the Nintendo, super Nintendo days was a game called Another World. Never met another person who has played it except one of it irl friends. Wikipedia claims it's one of the best video games ever made, oddly.
Kind of a platformer, kind of a puzzler, very surreal.
Absolutely loved this Another World (Out of This World in the US)! It looked like nothing else, had cut scenes, even a little load time (not common on a SNES). Early polygon look before Star Fox came out even.
Out of This World! No wonder the name looked weird to me. I had to look it up because it's been so long I forgot the name!
Banana Nababa - like an old 8 bit action platformer, but it's just the bosses
Well that rules out pretty much every video game. So here's my favorite card game instead.
It's called Illimat. It's very strategic but easy to finish a game in under an hour. It's essentially a game of pattern recognition and "harvesting" sets of cards. The goal is to harvest the most points each round.
Fitting into the overall theme of farming, there are four fields to harvest from, and each field is in a different season. Players can change the seasons by playing special cards, and the seasons affect the types of actions that may be performed in each field.
Everyone I've played with has enjoyed this game.
Pioneer
It's open source, and if you're on Linux, it's probably in your repos.
Kinda like a cross between Elite and Kerbal Space Program.
i don't know about "cross" :P it's a bit-for-bit reimplementation of Elite 2. i loved that game as a kid and pioneer is a great version of it.
Majesty.
It's a strategy simulation game, a bit like an RTS, but you can't directly control units.
Instead all units follow general archetypes. Rogues generally won't spontaneously help you but will do most anything for money. Warriors will seek out monsters and lairs that have been discovered. Rangers will explore the map. Units will also do things like buying potions or upgraded equipment based on their class and intelligence.
As the player you choose what buildings to place and can offer rewards for exploring an area or killing something.
There was a sequel, but it's a significantly worse game than the original.
Labyrinth!
Each turn you first move one column or row of the gameboard over by one, then move as far as you like along any unobstructed path as you race against other players to collect magiffins in the ever-changing maze.
It's a game that rewards both creative thinking and sabotage. It helps develop strategy and spatial reasoning. It's simple enough for a kindergartner to learn but engaging enough for adults to enjoy even after dozens of games.
Xcom 2.
A friend recommended it to me because he thought I would like it. It's my favourite game and I have 100% it.
Bounty Bob on the C64 was goood.
Snake. There are many good versions of it, but I'd say my favourite is the one from coolmathgames.com .
Tzolk’in is my favorite game, I think. It is a board game that incorporates time in an interesting way for a worker-placement style game.
Freelancer, very fun space sim that didn't quite seem to get popular enough
Literally any game I like is gonna have me seeking out the Internet community for it. Your question is kinda broken this way.
The boardgame Heat is one of my all time favorites. Thunder Road Vendetta is right up there too, and I am waiting to put them together for an all road race/rage saturday with my boardgame peeps.
My current phone game is ∞ Loop. Just a simple puzzle-type game.
I also like a variety of solitaire card games, but the app I used to like has become quite enshittified, and I haven't found a good replacement.
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. It's the only game in the Carrier Command-like subgenre of RTS that isn't part of the Carrier Command series. Shockingly well written, too, for what it is.
Hammershlagen
Thinking about it, reducing my entire game library to not suggested titles anywhere decreases its size drastically. It easily knocks like 20 games I would list normally.
With that said, Last Command was a nice bullet hell game. Would reccomend
