No. That is a serious "why bother" sort of achievement. I loved that game, but that is just several light-years too far.

You may or may not like Hollow Knight.

I finished Hollow Knight. Well, I got close enough. That game HAD me. I got to 86% on my own, and then to 92% after reading up just enough on the net to realize that I'd totally missed a side-ability of an updgrade I'd had forever. Then used a guide to get the last few charms … and by then I was just sick of the game,…

Wow, you are among the very few people into wargames I've seen post here. In fact, I am having trouble remembering any others.

Agree re: Lonesome Road. I kept wondering if there was something in the main game, or the other DLC, that I'd missed that would make this stuff more sensible.

Yes, PvZ is definitely a tower defense game. Defense Grid is another really standard one. There are billions of cut-rate online cutsey tower defense games as well, mostly for free. I remember a free one called Vector Tower Defense, or something like it, that was pretty cool.

Yay Witcher 3! I am also enjoying Golden Week, though for me it started last Sunday.

Cubivore! Yes! that game was so bizarrely awesome in its own unique, unique way. I played a Japanese version, making it even harder to figure out at the time. I think at one point I went to heaven, only to view every possible version of myself prior to being reborn.

I don't think it had anything to do with Eco-consciouness — rather, the originalpush to reduce box size came about from retailers, who wanted to be able to display more games on the same amount of shelf space.

Mechwarrior II really was an awesome game. I loved it to death, despite many aspects of it that were not all that great, in retrospect.

I fondly remember the novella that was the manual for the original Elite.

Or, Divinity: Original Sin, if it is available on your platform.

Woot! Ultima! I had the U3, U4, U6, and, sadly, U9 boxes and pack-ins, and until the last, they were awesome. U9 had a really sweet set of tarot cards representing the virtues and whatnot, which were far better than the game itself, which was absolute trash. U4 had that sweet Ankh. Ah, the memories.

I remember "I'm crushing you head," and the Brain Candy movie, which is tragically underrated.

DOS was a lot of fun, and easily has the best combat of any game in the recent CRPG revival.

I wish I could comment, but I haven't seen either of those media properties, so I have nothing to say about them.

I did too, but that's not what I'm referring to. Check out OMSI, for example, or Train Sim World.

Here I feel like I can make a better argument. First off, Zombies fit perfectly the theme of the article - an anonymous and unplacable force that punishes all regardless of proportion or guilt. That aside, most zombie fiction takes humans as they are and merely puts them in a hostile, post-apocalyptic environment…

Europa Universalis IV, I'm willing to bet. Pretty much anything published by Slitherine. Train simulators. There are old man genres, trust me.

Superhero stuff seems somehow different. The characters are inherently super, and at least partially freed from the constraints of society in a few ways that are particular to the nature of their power.
