      @Seul I just had a coworker recommend The Outer Worlds (1) to me yesterday.  Should I wait for #2 or is it worth playing #1?

      Have you guys tried Valheim?  My brother, my son, and I have been playing it every Saturday.  We decided to try  something new, and I really cannot recommend it enough for whichever game you try next.  We made a pact to not do ANY research on the game.  We go into it completely blind every weekend.

      I'm sure we're doing things wrong, I'm sure we could've finished it a month ago had we looked stuff up online, but I cannot stress enough how much fun we're having not knowing what's right around the corner.  We fought this one boss and it became abundantly clear that we were not going to be able to defeat it.  Our solution in the end was to set up an elaborately defended base near the boss and drag him to us.  I am 99% sure that we overlooked some weapon or material that would have allowed us to defeat him in 10 seconds without jumping through all of those hoops, but those hoops made the victory so much sweeter!

      The idea reminds me of how I used to play games, back before the Internet.  You get stuck, you bang your head against the wall, you walk away.  Days later, hand and mouth equally stuffed with Doritos Cool Ranch, the solution dawns on you.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

        @Paul9221 I played OW 1 last year and enjoyed it! Not the most difficult you'll play but looks the visuals are great

        The devil is in the detail..

          Get OUTER WORLDS and the DLC and you're good for 15-20 hours… Definitely worth it...

            I made to Level 30 Mega shark in that game. You are a monster by this point. It's like in Ninja Gaiden Black when you get the Dark Dragon Blade or Metroid Prime when you get the Varia suit Screw Attack. What a fun game it is. I haven't played a game I enjoy this much since like RDR2.

            This looks ridiculous. Just ordered for Switch!

                100% agree, it's super imaginative and fun. I did not know there were DLCs…somehow I overlooked that.

                  its like watching "Jaws" backwards where it becomes the heartwarming story of a shark giving out limbs to the disabled.

                      I decided not to park here.

                      80€ all in. New controller, SCART cable, and 4 games (Mortal Kombat Complete Ed. not pictured) and 500GB memory.

                          If you have a PC that can handle it. I am very much enjoying early access of Baldur's Gate 3. Fantastic writing, characters, and dialogue. I usually skip over stuff like this but there's so much nuance to what happens in the dialogue you need to pay attention.

                            Did you play the previous two?  Can I just dive into part 3 without having played part 2?  I started part 2 but didn't get very far.  It was NOT easy LOL

                              I spent an obscene amount of Sunday playing Graveyard Keeper on my XBox…it's slow and doesn't hold your hand at all, but if Stardew Valley were about harvesting organs instead of crops, it's be near this game

                                    It's pretty cool. It's a budget title. But pretty intense. I got downed twice so it's not a pushover game. I need to sit closer to the tv so I can read all the text. I need to adjust the gamma and HDR settings for this game because it is pretty dark and difficult to see.

                                          I've never played a BIOSHOCK game before. Decided to change that and buy the Collection box released for PS4.

                                            You're in for a treat! While the controls of the original feel a bit outdated nowadays, the story and atmosphere more than make up for it.  The third is awesome, too.  The second isn't "bad" necessarily, it's just like a B on a report card covered in A's
