  Songs of Conquest. Had a weird relationship with it at first, almost like I wanted to dislike it, not sure why. I would think “this is so plainly gamified, the map is cartoonish in its resource implementation, the building feels constrictive…”

  That said I’ve kept coming back to it. Something about the high fidelity pixel art, the clarity of its gameplay, the choices it forces, all of it started to really hook me. Even the combat, which first came off to me as insanely swingy, now just feels much more intensely tactical. Sure there are ways to abuse it, but all in all, even the AI is pretty decent (though the autoresolve logic is complete trash).

  With the community mods and honestly solid gameplay even with the base factions, I have to say I really recommend it at least for a try to everyone.

  Somehow ctrl+f failed to find this one, but Path of Exile is probably my drug of choice there. While I raked in 1k hrs with Dota2, I’m not sure I"d recommend it unless you really want to sell your soul to MOBA life. And it’s not quite to 1k yet, but honorable mention must go to Satisfactory as it’s well on its way to being game #3 in the 1k+ list with me.

  Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it’s become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between “chilled out,” familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

  My main suggestion is to set your recipe limits - if you just keep making everything beyond reasonable levels, you run out of materials nonsensically, i.e. “No, I REALLY don’t need 200 brick, thanks, I’d rather have some pottery, just a LITTLE BIT, PLEASE”

  Yeah, I guess I’m gonna dogpile here a bit, but can confirm it’s pretty solid on the deck. I thought I’d hate track-padding, but it’s actually pretty pleasant. Just had to remap a couple things, like wood-cutting & a couple back paddle buttons and it plays surprisingly smoothly. I’ve played on both PC & deck and oddly I’m starting to get to like playing on the deck a little bit better actually

  Define container; reasonably, a room could be defined as a container. A container of what? And furthermore, define empty! Knowing when something’s “empty” has all kinds of applications. That and teleporting, even a few inches could be incredible, especially dependent on how often/quickly you could do it. 3 & 7, hands down
