Id say this is accurate.

The Forest legit is decent, I just think it fucks up the "safe zone" that you explore from in these kinds of games. In minecraft you place a fuckton of torches and build some kind of stronghold so shit can't spawn / get in there. In Subnautica you build a cool base and have a place to store the tons of crap you're going to collect and don't have to worry about it getting eaten by a shark or anything. In The Forest, you build a base and some fucking asshole NPCs can rip down your walls and break into your shit and try kill you, and the mechanics for why this happens are horribly obscure. You can't build a safe zone. There are a ton of things in the game that you think should be safe, but if you build them you spend as much time maintaining those things as you would save by them existing.

Once I stopped trying to build a safe place and just became some kind of insane spelunker person with a backpack full of shit, I enjoyed the game a lot more.

Also it being coop is a huge plus. The way you trade items makes me laugh every time.

the strongest part is definitely it being coop, also u have to be open to these type of games.
i ended up playing with 2 other ppl, we chopped down a huge amount of trees to build a base, placed a shitton of traps and other defenses along the way so it ended up being a rather safe space

o yea HZD's faces are *awful*, especially relative to the world itself which is gorgeous.

Kinda get the same vibe in RDR2 for the faces of most people outside of the main characters, lol.

Hzd gameplay is the best of any of the open world rpgs iv played by a mile. Only thing that comes close is the latest god of war maybe.

You could maybe download disco elysium on your laptop and hook it up to the TV? I know ps4 controllers work on pc and I'd imagine there's some drivers out there to connect other gamepads?

lmao i had considered moving my gaming pc (or building a tiny little guy for my tv, which would be kinda fun) but hadn't considered just using my laptop and a contorller hahaha

Your gonna fukn love disco elysium lol. Looking forward to hearing your take on it

happy holidays juniors and juniettes

I was going to ask too, I have a few friends that I play multiplayer games with, the last few that we played were Marbles on Stream, Among Us, Terraria, For The King, GTA, CSGO, DotA, Golf With Friends, are there any small (not csgo or dota like) games that are fun to pick up and play for an hour or two that a bit off the beaten path gameplay wise that you would all recommend?

It's pretty fun to go from Terraria, to CSGO, to Golf With Friends, considering their experiences are all so unique. I appreciate it

Stardew valley fits that bill

For the king is great, super underappreciated roguelike.

Dihg this probably isn't what you want but by far my favorite multiplayer experience this year was playing "Baba Is You" with a bunch of my friends - one person would stream it on discord and we'd all watch and hang out and solve puzzles together. It was *great*

Stardew's another great hangout game, agreed.

Have already tried Stardew Valley but due to my status of being an incel I was severely limited as to what I could do in the game as no female characters would interact with me.

Baba is You actually seems really, really fun and creative. Thanks for the tip!

Is divinity 2 a jrpg? I thought it was western. I've just been stuck playing Langrisser and slowly playing my way through Atelier Ryza and Cold Steel 3.

Risk of Rain and risk of rain 2.
Overcooked
Spelunky
Helldivers

First two are a bit of a rougelike (or however you write that)
Overcooked is just silly fun for a while
Spelunky also a rougelike
Helldivers is starship troopers top down co-op.

All are fun
