I like community builders and games that I can keep a world for years and grow, watch it evolve. I enjoy Rimworld. ARK evolved series is good.
Bonus if it’s multiplayer capable LAN and not online.
Oxygen not included is nice but mentally taxing sometimes. I prefer laid back chill games with economy and farming. 2d or 3d doesn’t matter. I don’t mind trying indie games. Survival based games are nice. I’m not super pick and choose.
Give me your greatest joy in game form. I’ve heard Stardew Valley is good. I tried it, reminds me of a gameboy game. I could not get into the game. My character kept falling asleep like 14 times in a day.
If you haven’t played it, Terraria. One of my all time favorite games, after all those years. Should also be really cheap on sales.
Project zomboid, once build 42 finally comes out that is. Shouldn’t be more than a few more months right? Haha
That game has consumed multiple glorious years of my life. Amazing game with an amazing modding community.
I enjoy Xonotix once in a while. Old school shooter like Quake or Doom. You can play online or solo against computer players. Lots of weapons to nab with odd effects.
Vintage Story is worth looking into imho.
Do you need to tinker to make it work? I remember reading that the creator had no plans to put it on Steam.
It is written in C#/.Net, which depending on your Linux system can be a bit of a hassle to get up and running (like me on Gentoo).
That said, the Flatpak version is incredibly easy to get up and running no matter which distro you use, which is what I opted for.
Kerbal Space Program runs better through proton than it does either natively in windows or natively in linux.
It’s the game I have the most hours in, by a large margin.
OpenTTD!!!
Also Satisfactory.
+1 for mindustry and luanti.
I’ll add Wesnoth, Widelands and OpenTTD too.
Endless Sky is great.
Postal Diplomacy has been around longer than the internet, so why not.
Factorio is definitely worth a try.
Mewgenics! It’s weird, it’s funny, the music is top tier.
Wrong post, sorry.
Construction Simulator is p chill.
I’ve always been a fan of hearts if you can get 4 people together. If not, rummy or bridge? I guess it depends how offline you mean.
