Hi all,
Recommend me a game! I’m looking for something casual (to play for 20-30 minutes from time to time), challenging (like in difficult to master), not super complicated (I don’t want to spend hours learning all the rules), but not super simple (when it’s too repetitive the patters get ingrained in my brain. anyone else has this?), cheap (don’t want to spend $30 on a game I will play from time to time). Must work on Linux and on an integrated GPU. Games I enjoyed previously:
- Fistful of Frags
- smashcarts.io
- xevil
What I did a lot years ago was to play single levels of games over and over until I totally crashed it even if I wasn’t that interested in the entire game. I guess what I like most is figuring out the smallest details of a game, not getting into long campaigns.
So, what can I play?
Edit: Thanks for all recommendations so far but I see I need to add one more requirement: no levels. I’m looking for something quick, in and out, skirmish, death match, melee type of game. Not something where you build a character, solve puzzles and so on.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth sounds like what you’re looking for.
Slay the Spire ! If you like card game and roguelike
Love rougelike (played some nethack back in the day), card games not so much. More agility, less reading.
Then you have short session roguelikes like :
- Vampire survivors
- Brotato
- Noita
Tetris is one of the games that fucks me up a bit. It’s all comes down to automatic responses and after some time it just gets inside my head and when I close my eyes call I can see are falling blocks. Can’t play it.
Super smash brothers melee
Looks nice but I have to get a disk and AppImage and so special runners? Bah. But it’s interesting idea. I never really played melee games but it does sound like something I would enjoy. I will do a steam search.
Rivals of Aether is like a PC smash brothers knockoff but it’s actually really fun and has a lot of mods for community made characters. I really recommend it.
maybe I’m not cultured enough, but I find rivals more fun than smash
Hollow Knight is a masterpiece worth recommending. Furthermore, it satisfies most of your criteria. But you might need one of the better integrated GPUs to run it smoothly on your system.
Hades is another masterpiece worth recommending and perhaps satisfies even more of your criteria. Though, once again, it requires you to have one of the better integrated GPUs.
