ask yourself this question: if you are on your deathbed, would you say “I wish I would’ve played more games”?

It depends on if I missed any I really want to try

Sacrifice(2000) is a great and one-of-a-kind game. It's one of the few games with no clear substitute in sight.

I tried thud but could get a handle on it. Definitely unique.

Space Sim FreeLancer: Privateer

Haven't played an Elite game yet, but Privateer is mediocre. The whole game's either boring trading or a boring, worse version of Wing Commander combat. You can just use your afterburners to run away from every fight, too. There just isn't enough content in the sandbox: it's all getting money to upgrade your ship to get more money - playing it after a better trading game like Sea Dogs is a dull experience. I haven't played any of the entries yet, but I think the X series would be a better fit for this category from what I've read. Even an 80s sim like Space Rogue is better than Privateer, in my opinion.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

if you are on your deathbed, would you say “I wish I would’ve played more games”?

Among other sentiments, most certainly. If you think games are a waste of time you are playing the wrong games/not engaging with them in a fruitful way. By all means don't use all your time on games, but that goes for anything and everything, gotta balance.

No problem, I'll gladly handle it for you

Get a grip!

 

[quixotic]

Silent Hill 1-3, if you don’t have time for all of them, just play 2.
Don’t buy any of the shitty remasters or rereleases, emulate them.
