Nobody has said Papers Please, or Return of the Obra Dinn!!!

Both are super great!

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I've seen both of those but never played either! Thank you for the suggestions!

niakori.bsky.social•92 days ago

I second Obra Dinn, what an experience!

sanityglitched.bsky.social•92 days ago

thealmightypat.bsky.social•93 days ago

SPELUNKY 2!!!!

thealmightypat.bsky.social•93 days ago

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I am SO terrible at that game, but it's so damn fun haha

thealmightypat.bsky.social•93 days ago

I literally just got to the credits the first time this week

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hell yeah! I haven't come close haha

thealmightypat.bsky.social•93 days ago

also FTL and Into the Breach are fucking fantastic.

shindayrue.bsky.social•93 days ago

Fields of Mistria, Stardew, Shovel Knight!

harv16.bsky.social•93 days ago

Balatro!!

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh I'm a Balatro addict for sure haha

harv16.bsky.social•93 days ago

I was hooked instantly…

feralkitsune.bsky.social•93 days ago

Hades, Hollow Knight, Rimworld, older or 2D JRPGs. Webfishing, emulators. CRPGs like Pillars of Eternity of BG3. Old games like Doom 1/2 with mods is a personal fav. Half Life games, and spinoffs like Portal.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

Amazing suggestions! Rimworld is one of my favorite games of all time, and my game on Steam I've put the most hours into

feralkitsune.bsky.social•93 days ago

Name a harvested organ after me.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

You got it! Haha

bbqranch.bsky.social•93 days ago

You could probably run Selaco. Solid game from this year. It runs on GZDoom so it should be able to run on a potato.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I haven't heard of that one, I'll look it up! Thank you

64a.bsky.social•93 days ago

Shattered Pixel Dungeon if you're into rougelites. You'll probably die really fast at first, but a good run can last a few hours.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I love roguelites! I'll check that out thank you!

64a.bsky.social•93 days ago

It's also free on mobile

dimitrios1610.bsky.social•93 days ago

Into the Breach and Crypt of the Necrodancer are two faves of mine.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I love into the breach! I haven't played Crypt of the Necrodancer yet though! Thank you

personajames7.bsky.social•93 days ago

Playing heroes of might and magic 3 and I can lose hours of my time enjoying that

blockgaming06.bsky.social•93 days ago

Ultrakill is really fun and should work great on a laptop.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

That game does look super sick. Thank you!

chasetoothpaste.bsky.social•93 days ago

Some games I always go back to or played this year:
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Battlebit Remastered
Selaco
Minishoot’ Adventures
Prince of Persia Lost Crown
Animal Well
Hotline Miami
Torchlight
Dead Cells
Stardew Valley
Balatro

ohhjim.bsky.social•93 days ago

Brood War.

iseopod.bsky.social•93 days ago

i’ve been playing sleuth (1983) on dosgames(.com). no download and if you like playing clue it’s fun 🫶

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

That sounds cool! Thank you!

voidware.bsky.social•91 days ago

Oh also theres a game called animal well. havent tried it, but i've heard good things about it (also its ridiculously small data)

voidware.bsky.social•93 days ago

I think ever since i've played Half-Life 1, 2 and its episodes, i'd say that its probably up there

voidware.bsky.social•93 days ago

Especially since the game looks beautiful and runs extremely well on my old laptop!

musikkboks.bsky.social•93 days ago

Papers please
Do not feed the monkeys
Phoenix wright games
Binding of isaac
Banished

Have fun!

musikkboks.bsky.social•93 days ago

Oh, darkest dungeon!!

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

Thank you! I have played some of these but not all!

musikkboks.bsky.social•93 days ago

If you're looking for shooters btw max payne 2 is very fun low demand game too 😎

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I actually have only ever played the third one haha so that's a great suggestion!

ladycheri.bsky.social•93 days ago

I play games like Vampire survivors its truly easy on the machine and very great and its dirt cheap on steam

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

That game is so addicting! I'll play it for what feels like 10 minutes, and a couple of hours have gone by haha

ladycheri.bsky.social•93 days ago

its great....my favorite character is the missle using robot i cleared quite a few stages with him

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

There's a game that's similar called Brotato that's also very cheap and a ton of fun if you're ever looking for something similar!

ladycheri.bsky.social•93 days ago

i saw that....it don't grab me but i liked it all the same my game of choice STILL stands as Baulders gate 3

jazzyd.bsky.social•93 days ago

Cult of the lamb
Stardew Valley
Fields of Mistria
Monster Prom
Unpacking

strandis-a.bsky.social•93 days ago

Older games, knight of the old Republic 1&2 are great to make time go fast. Kingdom 2 crowns is easy to play on laptop.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

Kotor is a great idea, I haven't played those games in like 15 years

dufffffy.bsky.social•93 days ago

I’d recommend Star Wars Rebellion . Late 90s game for PC. Atmospheric and long form. Has a cult following and mods since release too.

oldmananimal.bsky.social•93 days ago

Terraria. I have gone back and played through Terraria from the start so many times over the years. Always with a friend though.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I have an embarrassing amount of time sunk into terraria, such a great game.

oofki.daliban.co•93 days ago

Bioshock and fallout games.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

Very good choices! It's been a super super long time since I've played a BioShock game. I think the last time I played through one was when Infinite came out haha

oofki.daliban.co•93 days ago

I had only played infinite (and loved it) until I got a steam deck. Played the old ones and god damn they are good haha

madcow17.bsky.social•93 days ago

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup if you have little to no computational power but want depth... extreme depth.....

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I haven't heard of that! I'm going to look it up! Thank you

madcow17.bsky.social•93 days ago

No prob. 100% free. You can even play it via web browser.

theiceburge.bsky.social•93 days ago

Still depends on the laptop but Core Keeper is great on mine

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I actually bought that one on sale and haven't even tried it yet. I forgot entirely about it until you reminded me haha. Thank you!

theiceburge.bsky.social•93 days ago

Highly enjoy! It's a more basic mix of Stardew-Terraria-Factorio as an overall intro to their gameplay mechanics. But the gameplay is so enjoyable and feels fresh!

hyprdad.bsky.social•93 days ago

Townscaper. I have that on all day!! So therapeutic.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I've seen this one and thought the art looked beautiful, but never tried it! Thank you!

hyprdad.bsky.social•93 days ago

No problem! Another is Cult of Lamb! I am playing it on the switch but I know it playable on PC.

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

I have played through that one and loved it!

twistert3.bsky.social•93 days ago

Heroes of Might and Magic III. Get the full version from GoG

cdsheffer.bsky.social•92 days ago

Descent 1 2 and 3. Space quest games are all good.

hotharonin.bsky.social•93 days ago

FTL, Into the Breach, Valheim, Slay the Spire

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

All amazing choices, FTL and Slay the Spire are both S tier in my book

hotharonin.bsky.social•93 days ago

I just did a runthrough of all three recently. And I have a casual game of Valheim going with friends. I'm studying for a license so I've been playing low commitment games in my downtime.

story-rich-games.bsky.social•93 days ago

Outer Wilds 🚀

thedarthmanakin.bsky.social•93 days ago

the force unleashed 1&2 or Diablo

mrtfe.bsky.social•93 days ago

If you like futuristic racing in the vein of the old PlayStation Wipeout games I recommend Ballistic NG

cashbarnes.com•93 days ago

Vampire Survivors. The first 10 minutes you'll be like, "Is this all it is?" But for the next 80 hours after that you'll be like 😵‍💫

hopefulmillennial.bsky.social•93 days ago

You are 100 percent right haha, I love that game and it absolutely eats up time faster than I realize
