Just use this for a catch all.

Nintendo is having a sale. I plan on spending $25 on some games. These are the ones I have saved so far. Which should I absolutely buy from this list or what others would you recommend? Some of my favorite games: Animal Crossing, Bioshock, Zelda, Oxenfree, Monument. Games I Hate: Pokemon, Diablo, any MOBA.

-Gris
-Spiritfarer
-A Short Hike
-Chicory: A Colorful Tale
-Subnautica
-Death's Door
-Cozy Grove
-Wytchwood
-The Last Campfire

Cozy Grove is A+ and also really pretty. It also only lets you do x amount of things per day so you can't binge/burn out on it.

I have heard good things about both Wytchwood and Spiritfarer but haven't played either.

Thank you!

The only one of those I've played is Gris (although I have Spiritfarer and plan to play it after I finally finish Breath of the Wild), but I highly recommend it! It's a beautiful and emotional journey of a game and I really, really loved it.

Thanks!

Spiritfarer is adorable, cozy and full of lovely characters but does pack a biiiig emotional punch and touches on some dark subjects. Keep tissues handy. But it's one of my favourite examples of when you can tell that a game has had tons of love and heart poured into it, it's very polished and thoughtfully made.

Subnautica gets another thumbs-up from me. It's definitely terrifying at times (I have a pretty bad fear of deep oceans in games) but you're eased into everything at a pretty good pace in terms of going to deeper depths/cave systems and you do feel better equipped and more confident as time goes on; you're never forced to go anywhere until you feel ready. It's got some really neat creature designs and worldbuilding and I didn't expect to get into the base-building as much as I did, but it's surprisingly deep and customizable.

My only problem with Subnautica is that I only have a switch lite, so I am not sure of how good it would look. I might wait to buy that one on Steam.

Going on a family trip soon and the weather looks like storms the majority of the time so looking to pick up a few new games for us to try. Games we have and enjoy: Carcassonne, Kingdom Builder, Dixit, Zombie Dice, CuBirds, Scattergories.

For the most part we are all adults, but there will be two 11 year olds that will join for a game or two so if you have any suggestions to include them that'd be great.

Apples to Apples?

Forbidden Island/Spirit Island. Double Feature if you have movie buffs. Codenames is a ton of fun.

Catchphrase, Sequence, Easy Come Easy Go

The Captain is Dead. Fast paced, easy to learn, all ages.

Mysterium is a cross between Dixit and Clue. It's clue cards, like Dixit, are beautiful and if need be you can play with easier rules when the 11yo join. It's largely co-op.

Revolution is a bluffing game. You need to be at least 5 people to play though.

Betrayal at the House on the Hill is a nice, long horror game with certain RPG elements. It just requires three people, but it might be a bit much for the 11yos (in terms of game play, not because it's scary). It's completely co-op until at a random point in the game it's revealed that there's a traitor in the group (determined by a certain conditions determined in turn by what triggered the reveal, so you really don't know who it is until the reveal). Then it's a 1 vs. everyone else.

Before 2020 I would have recommended Pandemic, but since the real-life pandemic... Sensibilities vary, so know your audience, I guess. It's a co-op game where you battle against 4 diseases before they spread too far in the world.

Yahtzee. It's great for travel because all you need is a small bag of dice and a primer for the rules.

Wingspan is pretty nice.

Getting back into this site and finding navigating clumsy. Rec me a community you really like? Doesn't matter the genre or topic, if you like it rec it.

I've been in lurk-mode since the start of the year, but I've really enjoyed the journal and planner community that's been consistently semi-active with a pretty lively community when it does update.
