I played both. Ghostrunner is easily better, it's not even close. Edit: so much CDPR fanboy cope. Cyberpunk is a below average game that doesn't do a single thing well. The story isn't good, the characters aren't good, the combat isn't good, the open world is dead, they clearly cut a significant amount of content and rushed the game out the door, and CDPR couldn't even deliver on the RPG aspect. Ghostrunner is one of the most fun games I played this year and at it's pricepoint is a no brainier.

Its just something about it that just doesnt work for me, which is weird because RTS games are basically exactly the same concept, just more complex - and I absolutely loved everything from starcraft to town builders like banished hahaha, but shit like this and overcooked just... no You guys got any genres that just dont work for you.. at all?

Void tyrant is a really good roguelite/deckbuilder on phone. It's main mechanic is an "attack gauge" that fills up by drawing (facedown) cards with values 1-6. But you can influence these values (as well as other effects) by playing hand cards, so despite the somewhat random nature it rarely feels like you are getting destroyed by rng. And while microtransactions exist, it's far from P2W.

One game that truly blew me away is Mindustry. It is essentially Factorio with a bigger emphasis on tower defense. What bugged me about Factorio was sometimes the my unwillingness to rebuild things knowing just how long it would take and how many resources I'd be wasting by doing so. Mindustry is all about building new bases over and over with increasing efficiency as you attain more technologies. It also focuses much more on combat offering a great variety of towers to construct to fend off invaders and the ability to produce combat units yourself.

Love the list (especially the unexpected One Step From Eden being here, haven't seen any youtuber ever mention it and frankly the game deserves more coverage) and if i could add one extra game it would be Monster Sanctuary. It's a mashup of a creature collector and a metroidvania but with a slightly more traditional jrpg style combat style. It was frankly a blast, especially for someone like me who has been in love with pokemon since i was a toddler as the game does not hold back punches in the later stages and really does test your skills. It fully released this past December for only 20 bucks and is already planned to get a 1.1 update with NG+ and adjustable difficulty for those to want to play the game at a more relaxing pace or for those who want an extra bit of challenge.

So this video got me into Deep Rock Galactic, and I'm basically super addicted now. I normally don't do multiplayer, but DRG makes co-op so much more fun and actually co-op-y I haven't done a solo run once ever since I tried multiplayer. It really helps I think that classes synergize really well in various aspects. The engineer's platforms, for example, are kind of a poor movement tool by themselves, as it takes a lot of platforms to scale up walls or over any sizable gaps. It's possible, sure but it takes a while. However, coupled with the scout's grappling hook or gunner's zipline, it makes travel way way easier since it removes the one weakness both the ziplines and grappling hook have, namely their need for a platform to land on at the end of the travel. The classes work on their own and they bring their own unique tools, but they also work together really well, so being on a mission feels like I'm actually working together with all these people rather than working besides them.

To have discovered something so wonderful and other people aren't sure about trying it yet.
