    No doubt. Retired gamer here: I play so much Valheim, Saints’ Row 3, and Fallouts. No way I’m forking out $70 for some new wannabe, unless you pry the .comfort games from my arthritic fingers.

      Yep, same. I still regularly come back to my point & click adventure games from the 90’s. Such comfort.

        There are also many new point and click games that are amazing. Wadjet Eye really revolutionized the genre IMO.

      If you’re enjoying Valheim, also take a look at Aska. it asks “what if Valheim was also a colony sim”. I’ve got maybe 2 dozen hours in it and have barely scratched the surface.

      Check out Abiotic Factor. Its like Valheim and HalfLife had a baby.

    As long as piracy exists, these games will remain playable
