- Esoteric Ebb (2026)
7.6/10. Esoteric Ebb is a comedic 5-session D&D campaign about a clumsy cleric investigating a political conspiracy just days before the election. The dialogue can be excessive and overwhelming and the time crunch is anxiety-inducing, but the core gameplay (combat, investigation, questing) is a load of fun. It's a game that makes you think hard about politics, morality, and the meaning of life in a wholesome and charming way. - Evomon Season 1 (Roblox) (2026)
7.0/10. This is a Pokemon-like gacha with shiny hunting and stat-building. It's an great mindless game to play while listening to an audiobook but the actual gameplay is barren. - Divinity: Original Sin (Enhanced Edition) (2014)
7.5/10. Mom:we have Baldur's Gate 3 at home.
In all seriousness this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of turn-based strategy RPG combat mechanics. - Otherworld [Dungeons & Dragons] (2016)
6.8/10. Otherworld is a Minecraft DnD modpack inspired by Baldur's Gate 3. Playing this alongside Skyrim feels weird because a lot of the music tracks and sound effects are taken directly from Skyrim. I really want to love this modpack but there's too many overpowered enemies that kill you in 1 or 2 hits, making it painful to level attributes and progress the main storyline. - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (2016)
7.2/10. The combat is a bit clunky and awkward but the world-building is incredibly good for its time. It's like if an open-world Assassin's Creed game was more than copy-pasted cities and there weren't as many glitches. I didn't grow up playing this game but I understand why so many of my friends look back on it with fond nostalgia. - Satisfactory (2024)
7.0/10. This is a great game for mechanical engineers with autism and I mean that in the best way. It's fun to do the math and maximize your outputs and it's also satisfying to perfectly place your factory components in an aesthetically organized area. - Blasphemous (2019)
7.7/10. Yet another souls-like metroidvania that has great-feeling mechanics. The art direction is beautiful in a really gritty and grotesque way. It feels like Fromsoft made this game. The only dislike I have in this game is the instant-kill spike areas.
