Video game thread
I've been playing Captains of Industry, and Len's Island lately.
The first is a kind of mix between factorio, a city sim, and a terrain flattening sim. The latter part doesn't sound fun, but is weirdly the most satisfying aspect of the game. If you ever wanted to dig a giant pit and dump it all into the ocean, this is the game for you.
Len's Island was described as an isometric Valheim in a review and that has mostly been true. Generally an enjoyable game if you like the genre, but nothing too ground breaking or unique.
I continue to be one of the ~1000 people still playing
Post ScriptumSquad44. We're down to 1-2 full servers at any given time, with a smattering of near-empty servers where people are presumably either testing new weapons or seeding so that when one of the full servers goes down for maintenance or because it's an unstable game that occasionally just has servers go down, theirs will fill up with the players who got booted.I just can't kick the game though. There's nothing else out there that scratches the itch. The teamwork elements of Squad44 are just head-and-shoulders above the non-WW2 competitors (Arma 3/Reforger), the realism aspects are head-and-shoulders above the WW2 FPS competitor (Hell Let Loose), and the relative simplicity of the WW2 battlefield is just much more fun than the relative chaos of the modern setting hardcore FPS offerings (Squad). So I continue to be one of the dwindling number of players, waiting for Offworld Industries to turn off the lights.
