Caves of Qud +1 +1: This game blew away my expectations and really sucked me in in a way that i didn't expect given the graphics. I'm having another kid this year and excited to spend some time playing Qud on steam deck while holding the baby.
POE2: This game is amazing and every content release feels great. I don't play a ton of live service games anymore, but this one is great.
Factorio: Space Age - not sure if this counts, since factorio came out before 2020, but Space Age is basically a new game/massive expansion and rework. Factorio is my #1 best game of all time.
Elden Ring - I'm a huge soulslike fan, grew up on elder scrolls and other RPGs. This game blew me away.
Balatro - Sucked me in, excellent take on roguelike genre.
Satisfactory - the other best factory game, really fun.
Arc Raiders - Another live service game, but done really well and it seems like the dev team cares about the community and knows how to make an approachable extraction shooter.
Snufkin: Melody of Moomin Valley - This game is awesome. Cute and fun for everyone, played it with my 4 yo.
Outer Wilds - Going into this game blind was extremely enjoyable, probably something I'll revisit in a year or two when I've really forgotten the details.

Comment on Europa Universalis V review – even hardened grand strategy veterans may be startled by the intricacy of this historical simulation in ~games
VoidSage Link ParentEU4 has almost $300 worth of DLC. Paradox is known for having one of the worst policies in the industry wrt to free updates and DLC Genuinely curious - are you just talking about the base game or...improving the gameplay with their free updates and DLC.
EU4 has almost $300 worth of DLC. Paradox is known for having one of the worst policies in the industry wrt to free updates and DLC
Genuinely curious - are you just talking about the base game or being satirical?
I have nowhere near 3k hours in paradox games so I may be wrong, but even now the EU4 base game feels pretty barebones and clunky to me.

The layout and conciseness of the Kagi one, along with the variety of sources has me intrigued though.
I’ll definitely be using this for the next few weeks to try it out - thanks for the post!

I’ve got hundreds upon hundreds of games on steam and bought a ps5 a couple years ago to satisfy the desire to play on my tv. A steam console would be a vastly superior option for me.
Streaming with steam link or moonlight just is too janky for me

VoidSage Link ParentCouldn’t agree more - Having “chief strategy officer” of Activision Blizzard on your resume is not something I ever want to see.Couldn’t agree more - Having “chief strategy officer” of Activision Blizzard on your resume is not something I ever want to see.
They also happen to be the most profitable company in the world per employee
Which I think really speaks to their business model and the fact that there is value in producing a quality product and caring about the consumer.
