visaul novels?

addventure

    Duelyst II is a fan revival of essentially a Hearthstone clone played on a chess board. It’s still in it’s early stages, but it’s fun and promising.

    Muck is a roguelike survival. It’s got kind of a silly TWAB vibe. It’s fun to play with friends but you don’t have to.

    TF2 is a casual FPS, as you probably know. It still holds up. I’d recommend playing on custom servers.

    Emu🦢lation.

    Space Station 14.

    This is a remake of SS13, and it’s an open-source labor of love. Sessions are ~45 minutes to 1½ hours. Complexity is daunting, but just don’t go in expecting to be useful - expect to be a passenger, drink beers, and possibly get killed or rescued, maybe have some RP or semi-RP chats.

    But you’ll learn, and slowly, how things work. Maybe you can be an engineer intern and fail horribly while everyone depends on you. Maybe you can be in security and get killed. …and maybe, just maybe, someday you’ll win, and know you helped to make that happen.

    While not free, I’d suggest getting Terraria on Steam, play through, then switch to TModLoader. You can expect a 1000+ hours easily. You could pirate it, but the devs really deserve your money on this one.

    You can practically run everything that was launched before 2012~.

    guild wars 2, war thunder, world of tanks, team fortress 2, CSGO, random free MMORPGs (you can filter them on steam).

    Great roguelike “Shattered Pixel Dungeon”

    This is a free (as in freedom) game, I’ve done dozens of runs, there was enough depth and graphics are pixel art. Available for computers, phones, whatever

    Someone else said Vampire Survivors, the game I like a lot recently is 20 Minutes Until Dawn. Lots of guns, upgrades, and characters to have fun with.

    Game boy emulators work pretty great and with ‘open source’ versions of some gb game code (old Pokemon games mainly I think) many great hacks to improve the original experience exist. They take up an incredibly tiny amount of space, being old school.

      Speaking of GB emulators and Pokémon, PokeMMO is a free cross-platform MMORPG that utilizes several Pokémon ROMs and emulation. It’s really awesome to explore the games with loads of other people.

    I’m so bored with all the AAA’s and big games. So, I would suggest Guacamelee, if you are seeing this then you should know both parts of the game are currently free on epic games.

    I like Hades, Vampire Survivors, Fresh Woman (NSFW), Noita, Brotato, Yi Xian, SEUM, Factorio, Rim World, Oxygen Not Included, SNKRX, Blasphemous (if you are patient), Stacklands, Hollow Knight, Card Hog, Slay the Spire, Dorfromantik, Super Mega Zero, Geometry Dash (lol), Terraria (Must Play), Raft, Satisfactory (don’t think low end pc’s can run it, not really sure).

    Everyone of these are chill games except Blasphemous. I’m chill games lover, so so done with all the hyper dopamine AAA titles. I don’t like to waste my time on games so I go for the games which give me more in less time. I play valorant sometimes but only one or maybe two matches per day. I play clash mini, vampire survivors, sonic forces, Windows XP Space Cadet (available on github) on android.

    Tibia is a german old school mmorpg that just refuses to die. I had loads of fun with it back in the day.
