Hello! I already have some games that I'll buy form the steam sale but I want to also buy some kind of online game. Any recommendations? For genres, I mainly prefer FPS's but I am ok with everything.

Nabbed battlebit on Steam. Definitely worth the money if you like the battlefield type series. Mindless fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Battlebit has replaced Mordhau (for now) as my brainless relaxation game. The FPS mechanics are surprisingly solid and it's just good, chaotic fun. I do think the netcode feels a little last-gen, but you're not playing this game to be a CS:GO master.

It looks pretty fun! I'll look more into it but I l'll probably buy it! My main problem is that I read somewhere that they are planning to use faceit and I use linux and as far as I now faceit doesn't work on linux.

I already have it and I love it! Are any of the DLC's worth it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I actually only recently picked up some of the dlc's cause they were on sale for like $2.50 a pop. Though they really are just cosmetics. I'd also put in enough hours into the game, where I felt pretty good about essentially donating to the dev's.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They're not really DLCs, just cosmetic packs that you can get if you play for long enough. The actual DLCs are the seasonal updates.

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.

Heard a lot of good things about this game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I should add that it isn’t perfect, it’s early access so expect some weirdness albeit a whole lot less than you’d think.

My favourite, for example: if you’re hiding behind cover make sure it is THICK, else a body part might clip through the model making it able to be shot. Mostly happens when prone making legs and feet stick out.

But i think that it will be fixed sooner or later

Hunt Showdown is on offer at the moment. It’s quite a learning curve but once you get the hang of it it’s fantastic. I’ve clocked 2.4k hours and it’s still got me hooked

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hunt is like a more accessible version of Tarkov, without the loot Tetris, gun modding, and crazy detailed ballistics, set in a cool Lovecraftian late 19th century iteration of Louisiana’s swamps. Strongly recommend! (To anyone concerned about monetisation, outside buying the game, everything else is entirely cosmetic.)

A great Hunt player on YouTube for anyone who’s interested, super chill guy: https://youtube.com/watch?v=vayVqO9MwQA

Is there a good response to this Steam review?

Did monetization ruin the game?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They did shake up the economy but it was nothing serious. There were a bunch of cry babies like this on Reddit and discord.

At the end of the day you only need Blood Bonds to buy some legendary weapons/hunter/tool skins which are purely cosmetic and have nothing to do with the main game loop.

Some skins/cosmetics can also be earned in game without using premium currency.

I bought most DLC and blood bond skins because they cool and I want to support a game I love

2400 hours of fun for the €20 I paid for Hunt is damn good value

And I believe there are more players than ever right now due to the event. P.s. is there a fedi Hunt community? I've not seen one yet

Titanfall 2 is on sale for $4.50, and it has an excellent singleplayer campaign. You can tell em papa Scorch sent ya.

Instead of BF, I would try out BattleBit. It's an Indie game that's very similar to BF and got very popular recently.It's supposed to be BF but actually good.

TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator) is on sale? Its pretty fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Coffee Talk and Outer Wilds. Also d4 for some brainless Action.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

OP asked for Multiplayer games. However, I do endorse Outer Wilds being on this list even if it is single player.
