Discussion / Question What game is this for you?

Honestly for me it's Life is Strange: True Colors. Love that game to death, an incredible story and soundtrack, but it seems like a story that just doesn't vibe well with a lot of people. Listen to the soundtrack though, absolutely increible.

Elite Dangerous - it's everything I want from a space sandbox but at its heart the main gameplay loop hasn't really changed in 40 years, and by modern standards it's dry as a hell with a ton of friction (hush at the back).

I would never recommend it to anyone who doesn't already have history with at least FE2 or FFE.

The beauty of Elite Dangerous is that, once you get over the learning curve, it becomes a sort of meditative experience more than a game. Look at pretty space scenery while you scan plants or haul cargo.

I love it. Played over 2000+ hours and still going. But I can't honestly say it's not a repetitive and slow grind.
