    I just went all-in on Final Fantasy on this sale. Almost all the games are on sale for super cheap. I realized that while Final Fantasy is probably my favorite series of all time, I’ve never finished one. Not a single one. They’ve always been so long that I never had the time to get through them. I can fondly remember being a kid playing FF1 on my NES with my brother, drawing maps, and trying to figure the game out. Flash forward to working, getting married, having kids…

    But now, I am older (and blessedly single) and I have much more control over my time. I’m going on a Final Fantasy binge, from 6 to 16. I’m stupidly excited to actually complete these games.

    A game that is relatively unknown but definitely deserves a highlight is The Riftbreaker, it’s an action basebuilder where you get to fight hordes of enemy waves while exploring, mining and building defenses. The devs have been really dedicated for years now, the game feels polished and fun, co-op is in development too and might be out within a year, it has a modding community…

    It’s just a really good, fun game with no bullshit attached.

    I’ve been tempted by Deep Rock Galactic for a while but never pulled the trigger because none of my friends are likely to join me. Would people still recommend it? What would you need to pick up DLC wise?

      I spent most of my 200+ hours in DRG so far playing with randoms because my friends aren’t as into it as I am. I can definitely say random matchmaking works great, and the community is amazing barring a few leaf lovers here and there.

      Also the DLC is all cosmetic, so no need to buy any if you don’t want.

      DRG is an amazing game, most dlc is free or cosmetic I believe. The community is one of the best, I’ve had less than a handful of toxic interactions in the years I’ve played it.

      solo DRG is totally viable! you get a cute little companion drone that will guard you (very lightly), and you can order it to go grab stuff that is out of reach. the dev team is the absolute ideal role model for how game devs should strive to act. they continue to push free new content, and nothing is locked behind a paywall

      I’ve been gushing about it before, it’s an excellent game made by dedicated devs. They have regular biweekly updates, constant communication and interaction with community, aren’t afraid to make huge changes and additions to the game even though it already feels really stable, polished and practically finished. They started with a very novel idea of a roguelike basebuilder and somehow, through countless iterations, managed to make it actually good, balanced fun.

      They deserve every cent for it, the game is wonderfully charming and engaging, just keep in mind that it might not be for everyone since your bases are all supposed to end relatively quickly - you won’t be building a 50hour city like in Anno, Rimworld or other genre-adjacent games. For many that’s a plus since these games tend to drag on and get boring in the later phases though.

    Picked up Octopath Traveler II and Kena: Bridge of Spirits so far.

    Almost grabbed FFXV but I’ve already have it on PS4 minus the DLC. Not sure if I want to commit the time to it again.
