  • Looks interesting, might as well get it since it's free.

    Some nice armour on the ladies.

  • Don't get it.

  • This has me chuckling! :)

  • It's a great game, I have 250+ hours in it.

    You can also mod the game to support larger maps (you'll also need to expand the support structure limit and elevator speed).

    I think have even done 400 story towers.

  • It's modern reincarnation of MicroProse from the 80s/90s.

    They are pretty indie focused if you look at the games they publish.

  • Sounds very manageable! Cheers!

  • Just need to get to it. :)

    Interestingly, with I find pre-1995 strategy games (original Simcity, Pizza Tycoon) games easier to get into than say pre-1995 RPGs (with a heavily modded Daggerfall being an exception).

  • I never played it myself, but it does seem to be heading in that direction.

  • They've even added our (Ukrainian) national airline; Міжнародні Авіалінії України (МАУ). I guess it fits with the "Pan Am" aesthetic since МАУ went bankrupt in 2022.

    I love the retro "alluding to 90s 3D with minimal AA" (this needs a name, it's not really pixelart) visuals:

  • So many interesting and unique indie games! So little time to play!

  • How is the combat? Are their playstyles that allow you to minimize the combat? This is something that wasn't clear to me from the reviews I read.

    I love the concept and the management elements sound like a lot of fun, but I am curious about the how the mech combat jives with the other strategy gameplay elements.

  • As weird as this sounds, I like doing this in GTA2 (still replay it every few years), although I do it became I like the grim-dark, almost cyberpunk atmosphere of the city in the second game. I feel like they've never gone that direction since.

    Cloudpunk is another game where I enjoy just driving around and exploring with no goal, but once again, it's more for the cyberpunk feels.

  • Is it just me (nostalgia bias and all that), or does the isometric style of Sid Meier's SimGolf still hold its own after nearly a quarter of a century?

  • I am pretty excited for this one, I have 100+ hours in all three of their previous releases.

    Their games can be flawed, but the gameplay is fun and I appreciate that Eggcode has their own distinct visual style; you always know when you are playing a game from Eggcode.

  • The Ublock Origin and custom elements removal is a must for PCgamer.

  • Hahahaha

  • Oh OK! Yeah, local network is a whole different experience because you have a great degree of control.

    Our internet infrastructure is probably in some ways better [*] than the US or Canada, based on my experiences living and travelling in North America, but it seems if you have WiFi involved anywhere in the chain, it's difficult to get a good experience.

    • In the sense of a near universal median experience, we don't have the high end stuff, the Verizon telecom service in some rural areas is impressive, but I will speculate the majority of households can get gigabit fiber for $15/month and mobile access is universal, cheap and competitive (but we don't have 5G).
  • I believe Games Workshop has a more open policy towards licensing.

    I would imagine Star Wars game licensing would be more strictly controlled, both in terms of content and target market.

  • I tried that when I was in another city for a few months. It was all right, but I was on WiFi 5/AC and I live in a country where buildings have thick walls and sometimes there would be issues with streaming, even though I had gigabit on both sides and my desktop was/is on ethernet.

    And I play strategy games, which from my understanding are a better fit for streaming than most single player genres.

    I found myself playing older indie games that I missed (actually found a lot of cool stuff).
