Anyone play any good games recently? I've been playing the hell out of Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Baldurs Gate II but im going to be off work for a few days next week due to surgery and could use some less intensive recs, thanks in advance!
I JUST finished recovery from top surgery, so I can recommend some!
Stardew Valley is the best idle game for any platform, I will never not recommend it. (Switch, ios, android, PC- PC is best bc you can mod it.)
Switch (if you have one) -Animal Crossing New Horizons -Pokemon (anything but Scarlet/Violet- it's buggy as hell; and Legends is like Dark Souls of Pokemon, so I don't recommend it if you need to take it easy- that game is STRESSFUL lol)
PC/Laptop: (I run on Steam) -Plague Inc Evolved -Diablo 4 (I hear it's good; I haven't been able to afford it)
Mobile: -Merge Dragons (It's really good for scratching that "I need to organize" itch. It keeps my ADHD satisfied) -Plague Inc -AFK Arena (It is a bit pay to play but I've been playing it as F2P since launch and it keeps me entertained.) -Card Thief (Sneaky solitaire type game that requires strategy and has really neat art!) -A Dark Room (text based RPG, similar to the Kittens Game- building up civilization and navigating the wilds) -Two Eyes Nanogram (nanogram game with soothing music and a sweet story about soulmates) -Lily's Garden (Cheesy "fix up the old house" type game with match three playstyle, but the characters are really well written and the game gives a lot of free lives, boosters etc, so it's not Pay to Play...I mostly play it when I'm high and it distracts me lol)
Disco Elysium & the Witness are the best RPG and puzzle games (respectively) in my book. Both have slower-pace gameplay with none or almost no stuff that requires great reflexes or reaction time or anything like that.
Slice and Dice (mobile available) - incredibly good indie game if you like roguelikes and basic RPGs. you get 5 characters in your party and play through 20 levels. each character has a die which has their attacks and can be leveled up and upgraded with items. TONS of replay value and the full game is only $7. if you dk if you'll like it there's a demo version.
Night in the Woods - this isn't new but it's well regarded. visual novel with platformer elements. with bonus social justice/labor organizing themes! also spooky/halloween/autumn themed if that's your jam.
Oxenfree - spooky visual novel about some friends who get stuck on a haunted island. has a few small puzzles and dialogue options and stuff. i have been told that different stuff happens when you play it a second time. :O
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - if you have a friend who can sit and play with you, this is a really fun and adorable co-op game where you steer a space ship around a 2D map and fight monsters. the characters are all cute woodland animals.
