    PC Gamer's Game of the Year Awards 2025

    I haven't played any of the games and don't have particularly strong opinions on the list. KC:D2 winning makes sense considering PCGamer staff is generally really fond of RPGs. Apparently Abiotic Factor is listed as an immersive sim as well, it could've gotten two awards! Other than that it's...

    Yes, it's for Minecraft Java, but I'm pretty sure that's included in the regular Minecraft launcher on PC. One of the things I really like about this modpack is that it's probably the best documented modpack I've played. Oftentimes when playing a modpack I'm spending as much time on a wiki as I...

    I actually had a moment earlier where I doubted whether I put the name in my post or not. It's StoneBlock 4, with the name referring to the fact that most of the world consists of stone blocks, with just a couple of small areas with pre-made structures. I'm currently stuck trying to unlock the...

    I recognised 2 on a quick scroll through and guessed 1 on general feel of the screenshot. I might be able to guess a couple more if I tried, but none of the other ones were familiar.

    While I liked Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, it didn't really grab me and I wanted something I could really lose myself in, but nothing in my library seemed to fit my mood. Finally I decided to check out a Minecraft mod I saw being recommended and instantly became obsessed. It has a frankly...

    Steam Winter Sale 2025

    Will this be the sale I buy Sniper Elite 4? https://store.steampowered.com/app/312660/Sniper_Elite_4/ The competition is strong, as I've been wanting to play the Subnautica sequel ever since I finished the first game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/848450/Subnautica_Below_Zero/ There's...

    Steam Replay 2025

    I think your perception of time can get skewed pretty easily when you're playing new games versus when you're replaying something. In a new game, 3 hours can feel like a long session, while in a game you're familiar with it can feel like you haven't even really started yet.

    Burplesmirk Spewpit is wonderfully OP, as are the new Norscan worms (TWW3)

    Imagine getting your ass handed to you by a guy named Burplesmirk.

    I do enjoy the sense of progress and actually running the store, but I'm not sure my kid does. She has been doing a pretty good job at keeping inventory, but she also spends a lot of time hitting people with a broom and trying to get me to play pretend. She really loves making up scenarios in...

    Steam Replay 2025

    https://s.team/y25/cwtrtbq?l=english That's a ridiculous number of achievements, especially considering I never pay attention to them. I like the contrast between your most played game being a relaxing idle game and the next two games being competitive FPS games. That's quite a number of...

    My kid and I played some Supermarket Together today, a free supermarket simulator. It's pretty decent considering it's free, though so far I've been stuck as a cashier the entire time. We just hired our first employee to help with stocking, which is nice, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll do...

    Coconut Monkey Cornerclub

    I don't use search engines very often except for games, work or recipes, where this isn't much of a problem (yet). But I did notice the same thing recently when I tried to look up if something was bad for my dog.

    You liked a game but weren't interested in the sequels?

    Factorio, released in 2020, has not only never been discounted since it was released on Steam, it has increased in price from €20 to €32. Rimworld, released in 2018, had its base price increased from €28 to €32 and has never been discounted by more than 20%. Both games have had significant...
