Basically, any indi game.
I just started playing wildmender from my backlog. Probably from a humble bumble.
Totally up my alley. Got my wife a copy and now we’re playing it together.
Sandbox survival with a storyline and quests
Chess
Runs on Linux… my arm hurts
The graphics aren’t smeary… My arm fell off but it’s still jorking it
That’s dedication
Plenty of those TBH. Only a few dick companies add micro transactions, easy to avoid.
Bless your soul for including the meme template!
Still sends you to gulag.

Beat me to it! thank you!

congratulations you found indie games
4/5 are irrelevant to most games I play tbh. Factorio story is simply automate the extermination of the bugs.
Trainsaw. Always trainsaw
Story Characters and Looks. I count three irrelevant metrics. What is the fourth? Have you not found Factorio yet or have you downloaded the pirated version with added microtransactions? 😄
I don’t understand the pirated thing
It was just a little joke about how sometimes pirated games contain viruses and malware and microtransactions are basically viruses with how toxic they are.
Lmao
I meant 4 and 5, but yeah agree with looks as well actually. Really the most important is that the gameplay is fun, and I find microtransactions significantly reduce how fun a game is to me.
I often return to playing ESO and the ingame shop is the main cause of me quitting again. Never bought anything in it, repeatedly seeing “buy this for premium money!” and after a while I just want it to fuck off and uninstall again.
Knowing my luck it would turn out to be a PvP game.
And suddenly you notice you’re back in 1995
Escape from duckov
Just bought this. Really looking forward to diving in
I felt this way with Baldur’s Gate 3.
100% I first 🏴☠️my way through bg3, then was like “bruh I genuinely wanna get the achievements this is so good wtf” and ended up buyin*on steam, but even was still so over satisfied that I sprung for the deluxe upgrade
My first thought was “I haven’t experienced this since Final Fantasy XII,” but you’re right.
Edit: wait, it says “story is great,” disregard my FFXII comment 😆
Game must be for DOS with all those green flags
No Man’s Sky and Satisfactory keep me coming back. Cozy and itch scratching without being harassed for the latest microtransaction.
That said, if a game does have microtransactions without jamming them at my eyeholes, and I’m not missing anything without them, also acceptable.
Satisfactory has me fully in it’s grasp right now lol. Current project is a giant vacuum tube to take me back and forth to where the coal miners are, because the steel ingot supply has become erratic.
