There is no comparison. This the ultimate STALKER game, all three in one, with extra content to last hundreds of hours. Truly a work of passion from people far more dedicated and patient than I could ever be.
A darker Stardew Valley, featuring necromancy, witch burnings and casual cannibalism. No seasons, so no time pressure. Lots of grinding, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Some people might not like how many materials you have to farm to improve your precious graveyard. Otherwise it plays and feels like Stardew Valley. Farm stuff to make money and improve your stuff. Talk to NPCs and do their quests.
It's just you and the monster in the tunnels and small rooms of the bunker. As usual for an Amnesia game, you wake up alone, something horrific happened to the inhabitants of the bunker, and you remember nothing. Take your noisy rechargeable flaslight and your revolver that you never seem to have enough bullets for, and see how far you get before the monster bites your face off.
Still works great on Windows 11. The resolution might need some tweaking, but everything else is just as I remembered it from my childhood.
Got this on a STEEP discount for 101 euros, but even then it was a price only for true enthusiasts. It's all worth it, the content you get from DLCs easily lasts for over 1000 hours. Many characters, religions, cultures and play styles to choose from. If there was only one game you could play for a year, and you REALLY liked this style of strategy/management game, this is the one.
Exactly as it says on the title, it's a game about mixing ingredients and selling potions to people. The fun part is that each ingredient moves a little potion on a map, and you have to be clever which ingredients you mix to explore the map and find new potion recipes. The whole process also genuinely looks like you're mixing a potion, even though you're trying to navigate the map. A great way to relax, meeting quirky locals and selling weird potions to them.
I like stomping tanks with my mech as 80's music is blasting in my ears. Cool world, nice lore, big guns and lots of explosions.
Metro going back the STALKER roots. Big maps, outposts, loot, hazard zones, even some minor anomalies, but nothing too crazy. Some chapters are linear, so it's not all open world. Performance is great on W10 with an Nvidia card. No major bugs, nothing game breaking, just a crash during a fight in about 15 hours.
A great combination of top down horde shooter and base management. Something like Factorio, but with more action and less headaches. Looks a lot like old Blizzard style Starcraft 2, including the definitely-not-zerg enemies.
