This has been such a strange year for gaming. Not only do we have COVID leading to delays, but it’s also the wind down period before new consoles hit. I found myself in bit of a rut, so I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try out games that I otherwise would’ve passed by.
Forager-I never play crafting/survival games. Once I got in the groove of the loop with this one I just couldn’t stop playing. It’s light-hearted and has a great look to it. I probably put 30-40 hours into it messing around with its systems.
Deep Rock Galactic-Multiplayer-focused games are a no-go for me. I heard this one can be played solo, so I figure I’d take the plunge. What a fantastic game! It’s as polished as can be. I’ve been playing exclusively solo and I’m halfway through the leveling the Gunner class, and there are still 3 more classes to play with. I’m enjoying it so much that I’m going to dip into some multiplayer sessions soon.
SnowRunner-I’ve always felt that the fun of a driving game is inversely proportional to its level of realism. This game, though... It’s so slow and methodical. While you play, you get into a trance trying to feather the accelerator over rugged terrain. I’m still in the first area and I feel like I have 10s of hours of exploration left before moving on.
Have any of you tried any games that you would normally overlook while you’ve been stuck at home? If so, how was it?
