Eve Online is a point and click sandbox MMO. The Eve universe is huge and you can fly to strange new worlds, meet interesting people from all over planet Earth and destroy their space ships. The game is very deep and caters to a myriad of play styles. Eve is a 'play to win' game, but you can also make a lot of space money through piracy and other behaviors you probably won't talk about IRL. If that sounds fun and you have a couple 1000 hours a year and some spare cash, Eve is for you.

Factorio is deep game, difficult to learn and even more difficult to master, well worth the asking price for the number of hours you'll spend building factories.

If Pathfinder WOTR, were a movie, I would walk out. It's the -one- RPG in my library I'll probably never finish. The linear plot line takes left turn mid-game. The writing is abysmal. The NPCs are cardboard cut outs. The romances I encountered were 1.overblown with pre-teen level angst, and 2. A HR sensitivity and inclusion class.

All that and no-opt out tracking in the EULA?

A regret buy for me.

While this was a nostalgia buy for me, I can still recommend W8 today. If you're an RPG or Dungeon crawl player, you'll definitely get a look at a title that defined the genre for decades to come. Wizardry 8 offers a challenging 100 hour plus gaming experience. It runs OOTB on Steamdeck with less then 1GB RAM. Wizardry 8 is 'hard' many key elements of the plot line require NPC interaction and luck. When you search the interwebs for help & hints, you'll also get a great look back at what the interwebs used to look like before the dark times... before TwitterBook and the Google-opoly.

This is a game about conspicuous consumption and burning stuff. Worth the price and so much more!

THE GOOD: I like this game a lot. They story and character progression are great. It's immersive and has the feel of an interactive movie. It works well on Linux.

THE BAD: This game has bugs with the graphics and some missions don't complete. They pushed it out without the playtesting I expect for the price and hype, best get it on sale.

THE UGLY: The game offers you a chance to kiss a cop, repugnant.

A good game with a couple of twists on the classic city builder genre. Runs great on Linux from the jump.

This is The Baldur's Gate of the 21st century.

This game brings together survival and fantasy RPGs in an innovative way. It's fair to say that Outward is hard; you're going to die. You're also going to come back smarter and harder from the spawn point. Outward is harsh, but fair. This game brings together the right elements of RPGs from pre-internet up to today in a unique and spicy blend. The soundtrack is superlative. If you like vanilla, The DLC is a good excuse for a 2nd/3rd play through. The fan wiki is very complete. Outward is a keeper.
Definitely worth the cash.
