What's fun about getting ganked by overengineered griefers hunting newbies at the first engineering station that the game points you to? I jumped to solo after that. Fuck that.
I have an Acer Nitro 5 too and I would recommend against it on fan noise alone. Saying that it's very loud is an understatement. It's absurd how loud it is even under light loads. It's like sitting in a jet on take-off.
My wife has an Asus ROG and it is much, much quieter when gaming than mine is when idling. So, I'd say get the ROG, not the Nitro.
Wizard with a gun - I really enjoyed this one. Can't wait to try the finished game coop with friends
The Invincible - Looks promising, the story sounds great but the controls were pretty unintuitive
Gord - The Settlers meets Grimdark. I enjoyed it
Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival - A pretty janky hobbyist project. Pretty impressive for a solo dev but I don't see it going anywhere
Station to Station - Looked great visually but very easy and very little depth. Not a sim but a simple puzzle game.
Dragonheir: Silent Gods - Clearly fishing for a D&D license. I can smell the microtransactions coming a mile away. Little depth or strategy. No thank you.
While the iron's hot - Stardew Valley but you're a blacksmith. I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected.
