I believe the Long War team are responsible for Terra Invicta, which honestly looks to be the real successor to the original X-com.

Looking forward to trying it out. I feel like it’s one of those games that you can keep playing forever (e.g. SimCity 4, Civ4/Civ5, StarCraft 2).

I would say yes. I last played it 3-4 years ago and it was still great.

That being said, these days we have a lot more choice for games with turn-based tactics and a strong strategy component.

OP, just use this if voting is such an issue.

It really shouldn’t be though. Comment votes don’t really matter IMO (post votes are helpful though).

This looks really good. Feel like something beyond your run of the mill space colony builder. A complex building system in 3D (with both land colonies and space stations) and it also seems to have additional strategic layer.

Reminds of a cross between Planetbase and the old school Moon Tycoon. I think this could give Planetbase 2 a run for its money.

Even with AAA, mid-range hardware from 5-6 years works fine at 1080p if you tune down the settings.

I actually backed the Kickstarter for this game. Looking forward to checking out. Love the modular building concept, they really should add Steam workshop/modding support. Just look at the selection of custom buildings in Parkitect; you have so many rides and every type of utility building in multiple styles.

Hopefully they’ll remove it after launch.

Congrats, yeah 600 MAU is not bad at all for Threadi.

Usually, you can find “no commentary” type playthroughs.

That’s what I prefer (unless I am watching a channel where I know I enjoy the commentary for Let’s Play series).

I normally prefer complex and long economic strategy games (Transport Fever, Project Highrise), but I enjoyed Minami Lane. It was a good pick up and play experience.

It’s a great horror movie!

There are many games about managing spaceships (my personal favourite is Star Traders: Frontiers), but I’ve never heard of spaceship management games in a more isolated/long term environment.

This is an interesting concept, curious if this has been explored.

It just got releases and it’s an indie game, might take some time. :)

I get what you mean, but not everyone is knowledgeable about strategy games. Falling Frontier was a nice discovery for me.

They didn’t include Sia - Cheap Thrills in the OST?

Energy Weapons; sort of weird one. Early game can be really challenging, but as the game progresses, you become much more proficient (I guess this is true on some level of all builds).

I’ve actually never done a full run with a dumb build (just the intro part in FO2).

I don’t think anyone has any examples (I am personally more into strategy games or open source engines for older games).

This reminds of the overworld in Hammerting (a good game that unfortunately didn’t reach it’s full potential, I got my monmey’s worth for it though).

Nah, people look for different things in RPGs.

Not to mention that IMO doesn’t really apply to some nerdy video game discussion.
