Haha ok well over Christmas I usually play KotOR one or two (with the big fan made mods and sometimes difficulty mods).
But this year I’m doing a Rogue Trader playthrough instead.
Also Stalker Gamma may make an appearance but that’s a whole thing to set up (if you don’t want to install mods etc).
In terms of Total War burnout I recommend trying the SFO mod (big overhaul of balance and mechanics) on WH3. It for sure breathes new life into the older factions.
And for some strategic top-down Real-time-with-pause fun, try Doorkickers or Doorkickers 2. Game 1 is older but a full release, whereas game 2 is at the end of a loooong early access, but it still my preference. Probably game 1 is <$10 though.
If you’re still looking for something, just point me in a direction and I’ll send more. This is my jam.
Ended up picking up 6 titles this sale:
Peglin
Cobalt Core
Cyberpunk
Cult of the Lamb
Animal Well
Rabit & Steel
So far I’ve only played the first 3, loving Peglin and Cobalt Core, not far enough into Cyberpunk to make an assessment.
I do appreciate your suggestions, and I will give them a look. Happy holidays!
Edit: If I may give a “retro” gaming suggestion of my own. Anybody who likes arcade style games should go immediately buy “Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved”. As it is my 100/10 arcade style game recommendation. It’s pure game, no story, no bullshit. 3 lives, 3 bombs, and a dream.
