JAG tipped me off to the first game in this series a while back, and I've been waiting for the second game for a while now because it has psionics added. It;s Knights of the Chalice 2. It's based on 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons rules, you create a party of 6, and then its turn-based combat as you explore the map and story.It's 2D graphics, so never going to compete there with modern games, but worth it with its old school D&D feel.
It's a bit pricey right now at $45, but certainly worth a look at when the price goes down. Knights of the Chalice 2 on Steam |

Trolley Problem Inc. is amazing. Fantastic writing and if you feel like you're having too good of a day it's guaranteed to bring you back down to earth.
EDIT: My wife watched me answer a few questions and is now probably upstairs questioning our marriage. |

Have you played this game? Looks interesting. |

I have and I like it a lot. It's a worker placement/survival/city builder/rpg board game with dice. Your ship lands on an uncharted continent where you have to survive the winter and various enemies so you can reveal more of the continent and story. There are four trailers on the Steam page, the middle two really do a good job of showing the game off |
Final expansion for AI War 2 has arrived, the Neinzul Abyss. For those with any interest in the franchise, the new Necromancer player type is a game-changer.

For better or worse, this post caused me to buy Wildermyth |
Quote:
Yay Jon! Glad to see you playing games again. So let us know what you think of it! |
Wildermyth is a great little game and was perfect for a tough period I was in last year. Really unique and simple but deep, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, first pass through was a couple of really easy hours passed away. I can see where repeats of the same story arc might be less engaging but, while the narrative aspects are still fresh at least, seems like a really easy game to lose several hours in at a time. $18 during the sale, I figure it'll be very easy to get my money's worth from it (and even easier sharing library access to Will) |
So I just purchased a base model Steam Deck 64GB after being on a wait list for so long. Does anyone actually have one? Looks like an easy 270$ profit on StockX if it’s not worth keeping. I’ll have to watch some reviews.

GoG.com having a sale on the various Witcher games. Looks like pretty good prices, all under $10

The Old World has finally released on Steam today. Still very interested in this game but want a bigger sale than 10% ($36)

I have the 256GB version. I love it! I use it every day. It's played all the games I've tried so far flawlessly, though to be fair I'm not a huge player of triple A games or anything. The majority of my time so far was spent in Lego Batman 3 and now for the past couple weeks NBA 2K22. I also tried some other games for short stints, like Hades, Scribblenauts Unmasked, and Brutal Legend. I'm going to try Civ 6 next. |

I thought the exact same thing. |

also now at GoG.com for 10% off too. Other places too I guess? EDIT: The first DLC is free to claim there too for the first two weeks of the game being available there too |
Stellaris free to play through the weekend on Steam-lots of sales on DLC's and other Paradox games too

edit: Not to mention it is nice that it has Workshop support. Not going to add anything yet, but that would definitely foster replay-ability. |

Give us a review when you have a chance |
I will. I won't get a chance to play till the weekend.

I've played Old World since early on on Epic, gonna fire it up again with the DLC. I really liked the "order" system and the CK-lite ruler/family stuff. (I tried to fire up a new CK2 game the other week and it was just so much stuff at once I said screw this and went with EU4 instead since I didn't feel like committing to putting in 100 hours haha) Pre-determined settlement sites take a little getting used to, but those plus locations getting names (and the ability to name them if you find them first) makes it feel like a real unique world with some character. It did bog down some mid-game once you've explored the map unless you're at war or preparing for a specific one, especially if it's a more crowded map, and some of the ruler goals were repetitive but it was early access then so we'll see if it's more fleshed out now. The order system also makes it impossible to automate some tasks during those slower periods, so it did get tedious just telling different units to go collect from a tile every turn iirc.
Overall I definitely liked it. Civ is the granddaddy and deservedly so, but unless you're playing on a super slow speed it feels like you get one cool tech/military advancement, and you only get a very quick time to use those units before technology has passed them by. I liked being able to stay in one era. |
Monster Train at probably the lowest price I've seen yet-$7.50 in honor of its 2nd Anniversary on Steam thru Sunday
|
I agree with Bishop's assessment. There is a lot going on between the regular "Civ" like game and the "CK" family and ruler dynamic. There probably need to be more attention on the latter, because I was not really feeling any connection to those characters like you do in CK. I guess the only thing to me that really weighs as a negative is the combat system. I never really liked Civ's combat system, and that is what this is. If you really like Civ, I think you will love this.

My 4 hour review is I don't see the point in playing Civ after playing Old World. Where Civ feels like it's been using the same basic formula for years and tweaking things Old World feels like they tore the 4x gameplay apart and rebuilt it from the ground up.
I agree that I haven't felt the attachment to characters that I feel in CK but I'm hoping that's because I'm still learning how to play and focused on learning systems rather than characters. Again, I'm only 4 hours in and my opinion could definitely change, but so far Old World makes Civ feel really dated. |
Having watched a good bit of Vormithrax playing Old World during development and then reading the reviews, it feels like it remains in the "gotta pass" category for me.
Reviews on Steam note the same issue(s) that I felt throughout development: there's a number of good/interesting aspects to the game, but the AI and the combat involving the AI just doesn't feel like it's there yet. ("Hidden" units that magically appear, almost "magical" production capabilities for the AI, etc) Until that's overhauled into something that feels like more than an exercise in classic Maddenitis, I just can't see myself getting anywhere near my money's worth from this one. |
