Subnautica of course was a banger, but recently I’ve been insanely addicted to Icarus. The mission oriented gameplay makes the survival gameplay less tedious even though I’m doing similar stuff. You drop down, figure out what you need to complete the mission, set up and get the mission done, then get out. You have meta progression to make missions quicker to work through and you have a levelling system to further impact your strength. Just a super satisfying loop to me.

Honestly? No. I like Beehaw. But it’s less convenient, with less content. I would rather stop using Reddit, but ultimately I’m just doing the same stuff here that I was there. Then again, I saw little toxicity in the subreddits I was in. Also, adult content is far less accesible.

Again though, I’m pretty happy with Beehaw/Lemmy. I’m sure they will only improve with time.

Final Fantasy XIV, Terraria, GTFO, Killing Floor 2, Guilty Gear Strive/Xrd Rev 2, 7 Days to Die, Minecraft, and recently some of us have been playing MegaMan Battle Network VS matches. What is popular changes quite often

The Case of the Golden Idol. Incredible game, short as well. Such a satisfying story to solve. If you want to play a game that scratches a similar itch to The Return of the Ones Dinn, this can do that.

There’s the obvious Monster Hunter, of course. Other than that, Shadow of the Colossus, maybe Dragon Age for the tactical combat. If you just want to fight absurdly large bosses, God of War, Asura’s Wrath, and Jotun are great for that. Maybe Horizon: Zero Dawn, it’s very different but it does have you fight enemies larger than yourself and force you to consider your approach. The Witcher 2 & 3 are in a similar vein to Horizon (just ignore 1, this isn’t a suggestion).

I only played a bit of DD, so take these with a pebble of salt.

Final Fantasy XIV. No, you have a problem!
