I’ve researched a bunch of games and have narrowed it down to these based on trailers and online reviews. They all look great and I can’t decide(obviously the more expensive ones look greater but maybe not worth the price difference).
Would love to know experiences of anyone who has played.
Stranded: Alien Dawn. As I understand it you can choose settings that are light on combat and heavier on building up your base (Stardew Valley style lol). Which is my preference. Also anyone try the Robot DLC?
Espresso Tycoon. Under $20, but looks surprisingly good for a business simulator with lots of visually appealing upgrade options.
Shadows of Doubt. I love murder mystery stuff and it’s hard to capture a good one on a video game i think. I’ve read it’s really good except can get tedious after the first few cases as they are too similar in nature.
Fabledom. Looks really cute and mechanics a bit like Civilixaiton 6 which I enjoyed playing.
Faefarm. Looks like an even more adorable version of Stardew Valley which I really love. Also has anyone played the DLCs (Coasts of Croakia and Skies of Azoria)?
Crusader Kings 3: Royal Edition. I like what appears to be a pretty advanced sort of nobility/royalty political/religious intrigue stories between the kingdoms especially. Like it looks like a compelling storyline on top of a solid Civilization-style world management engine.
Civilization 7. I did like Civ 6 a lot, and I’ve heard this one is worth the upgrade but I’m still sort of afraid it’s not really, as it’s the 2nd most expensive game on my list. However there’s a sale right now making the Deluxe Edition $59.99 (normally $99.99).
