Mainly strategy/simulation type games on the PC, but I'm open to general suggestions.
Also if anyone has any good local multiplayer stuff like Jackbox.

Strategy suggestion would be They Are Billions - in early access recently but loads of hype on it and really interesting mechanics. Grey Goo is decent too, albeit not spectacular; worth it for under £6 though.

Not on sale but always my recommendation for a sim/strategy game is Rimworld. And although sure you've heard of it, Total War: Shogun 2 is fantastic and under £6. Finally, I adore Stardew Valley but it won't be for everyone - on Steam now for around £7.

I got this for crimbo off of my brother. I have about 3 of the crap ones after Black Flag to finish off.

I love this series, even with all of the flaws in some of the games.

I boxed off the new South Park game The Fractured But Whole on my Christmas holidays. There were some good bits but I felt it wasn't a patch on the first one despite the improvements in their combat system. I think a lot of the novelty is gone from exploring the town and they ran out of ideas for good easter eggs after the first one imo.

I still have a little bit left to finish off on the Horizon Dawn The Frozen Wild, I love the new mechs.

I still need to box off Mafia III(got Horizon at the same time as this and I'm about a third of the way through) and Sleeping Dogs(not too far off) as well before I go back into AC.

Good list to get through there mate.

I got that South Park game but couldn’t get on with it (although did use the download code of Stick Of Truth before trading it in. I’m one of them!).

Honestly though. I need to stop buying games. I have very little time to actually play them but have what must be about 20 I’ve started but not finished.

Oh, and War For The Overworld - it's a tribute to Dungeon Keeper and whilst not quite as good as it, it's still a really good effort and available on Steam for just under £7.

I keep waiting for Rimworld to do a sale. Have they ever even done one before?

I'm resisting Stardew Valley as I know I will get hooked on that.

I hadn't heard of the first two so I'll look them up. Cheers Tubes.

I believe they never have, and they'd be stupid to ever do so.

Just buy it mate, honestly. It's one of a kind and the content is worth £60+ if you love those types of games.

Not sure how I've done but I was fairly confident about most.

Answers were

Link, a star, Pokemon, Zombies, Master System, Xbox, Tails, Jump Man, Wrestle War and 1993

So you both got a very respectable 8 out of 10

I'm overly proud of myself about that.

So I beat Dark Souls 3.

What a game that is. Stunning.

Going to have to give DS1 & 2 a proper shot now as well. Perhaps Bloodborne but dunno, console.

DS 2 was my favourite of the three. thats the only one ive played several times.

IL2 without VR - meh
IL2 with VR - one of the best games ever made

Yo @Dylan I have this nagging idea to buy Elite Dangerous.

Worth it if your not a trekkie?

Do you have the Paradox Interactive games?

Have seen some people playing this, but not blown away tbh. Does it do anything different from other rts/td games?

Tried that a few years ago and I couldn't get into it. I was a massive fan of Dungeon Keeper.
