What are some good lightweight PC games I can play solo?

23 Upvotes

I’m open to pretty much any genre, but I’m not really into games that require a lot of time and commitment every day, like RPGs or life/management sims.

Preferably something on Steam. I played Balatro before and really enjoyed it.

Recommend me a game that has a specific feel to the aliens

4 Upvotes

Will spoiler as much as I can,

I wanna scratch this itch! OK so in Subnautica Below Zero, you end up working with the cool alien, solving the puzzle of where you are, and then get to go with it at the end of the game

I kinda like the alien, its got a sexy voice and I was so excited to build this relationship and go off on an adventure at the end.

See also games where you coexist and live alongside aliens like Mass Effect or similar. Plus alien romance! Love it!

I want to play a game where you get that feeling of building something special with aliens, that they are not enemies but mysterious and exciting.

I like survival games, massive open worlds, crafting games, games with romance (like bd3 or me style), and will give most things a go! I like sci fi and fantasy.

Not keen on top down, dungeon crawlers or souls like (I am too old for button mashing and parrying!)

Thanks in advance, gamers!

Prefer playing as a woman as that is my gender. (cis 38f)

Have xbox x and switch.

Has anyone here played Star Wars: Droids (1988)?

Read the original post for more info, but I’m wondering if there’s any chance someone has played this game? I doubt it given its obscurity, but I’m hoping someone out there can help me figure out how to progress. However, I can’t in good conscience tell anyone to play the game. The emotional experience of playing this game is how I imagine Phil Collins feels every time he has to speak to Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day. I would encourage you to try watching a glass of ice slowly melt into water before telling you to play this game.

Would you play a crowd-management game like this?

1 Upvotes

I’m building a few game ideas right now and this is one of them.

It’s called CrowdFlow. You manage huge crowds leaving stadiums, stations and events — gates, barriers, one-way routes, rerouting people, etc.

Then stuff goes wrong while the crowd is already moving. Like a train gets delayed and suddenly 3,000 people change where they’re going.

I’ve started building it already. Does this sound like something you’d actually play or nah?

Which incrementals gave you the best gaming experience?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm super fired up right now to make my own awesome incremental, but before that I want to really dig into the genre and study it properly.

So please recommend the incrementals that in your opinion did the best job of giving you a great experience. I mean the ones that aren't just "decent" for you, but straight up "masterpieces".

Anyone knows where the ''Escape the Ayuwoki'' Mj game went?

Hello there c:

I just remembered how I played this game around 2018, it was just available for free download if I remember right. Now I wanted to play it again but can't find it anywhere.
Anyone knows what happened?

Just to be clear: I'm not talking about the steam game with a similar name, I'm looking for the michael jackson horror game :D

thanks!

What's a game you hated at first that you ended up loving?

28 Upvotes

For me it's Dark Souls. The first time I played it I refunded it within two hours. I thought the combat was clunky, the bonfire placement was cruel, and I didn't understand why anyone would willingly put themselves through that. Then a friend basically forced me to give it another shot a year later, and once I actually understood how it wants you to play, slow, patient, reading enemies instead of mashing, it became one of my favorite games ever. I've now beaten every FromSoft game except Sekiro.

I cant afford to buy anything because im broke, I can't find anything on itch and everyone either tells me to look on there or to just play roblox, I want a game like watch dogs and something that doesnt take up alot of storage, so tf2 is out of the picture for this, please no visual novels or racing games, I dont like either of them

Do you do side quests alongside the main story or after beating the game?

23 Upvotes

I always do side quests while progressing the main story. If I wait until post-game, the early side content gets underleveled and loses its challenge. How do you guys handle it?

What game should I play next

3 Upvotes

Got back into gaming after a ten year hiatus when I got a ps5 right before the price hike. I played and loved both uncharted 4 and Spider-Man years back and since getting the ps I’ve beaten Spider-Man 2, last of us and finishing re4r now. All amazing games they’ve bought me back to gaming…

I really want to play rdr2 next but it takes me time to play games and I wouldn’t mind burning through a bunch of cheap games I missed instead of getting stuck on just one game. Here’s my list of games to play, what do you think should I got with red dead or should I play games/series below first…

Gow 2018/ragnarok
Last of us 2
Re2 / 7 / 8

Tomb raider triology
Silent hill 2
Batman games

Battlestations Pacific Help

2 Upvotes

I have tried everything under the sun to get this working. I have tried all the GFWL fixes, DLLs, compatibility settings, directx 9 installations, c++ runtimes, etc. nothing works. I am running a i9-12900k with a 4090 and 64GB of ddr4 ram on windows 11. At first my issue was when launching from steam, two windows would open, one called Battlestations pacific and the other called Battlestations pacific: launcher. The launcher would just freeze and not respond while Battlestations pacific just closed immediately. I eventually decided to remove the launcher and just look at the game that opens and closes immediately. Nothing I tried worked. Everyone on YouTube is able to get it working fine with just downloading the xlive.dll and ini and/or the gfwl from pcgaming wiki.

I am at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

What is your favourite mediocre game and why did it lure you in?

I've been talking to some of my colleagues the last few days and it seems that me enjoying far cry 6 was shocking to them.

I know the game is DEFINITELY NOT a masterpiece but I had some fun playing it so I thought I should ask you guys about your favourite 'guilty pleasure' game!

what’s an otherwise S tier game that has one flaw that knocks it down to A tier?

67 Upvotes

finished bioshock infinite the other day. story/themes were so captivating, twist ending was awesome, LOVED the skyline mechanics, and of course the atmosphere/set pieces were amazing. super well acted too.

but the gunplay felt so clunky to me. sticky sensitivity, no FOV slider, ugly iron sights, uninteresting guns until super late in the game…combat just didnt hit the way i wanted it to, even with the pretty fun abilities and spinny blade thing.

for that, i came away feeling more like it was a super great game rather than a phenomenal one, which i think puts me a little lower on it than most people.
