It's been an incredible year for non AAA gaming /Indy i:) I count myself lucky I play sim games
Victoria 3 is super dumbed down compared to previous games, I heard that from a expert player , however for new players that might not matter
Appreciate the reviews. There are a few on your list I haven't played and you have convinced me to at least give them some consideration. Once I stop playing Dwarf Fortress. :p The Steam release is nice, but… annoys me with the bugs (and in some case changes I don't like), so back to playing 2014.
41:00 I'm from NZ and I have NO idea why Steam WH40K: Gladius and all its DLC is about 15% cheaper in NZ than Oz. WTF? We are getting the same "winter" sale discounts but the Oz base price is higher despite NZ $ poorer exchange rate.
Crawl Tactics looks interesting. Fort Triumph tried that whole "SRPG + use environment" thing, but it is a horrible game. And excited for Interstellar Space Genesis. Never heard of it, but when someone uses "MoO2" to describe a game, I take notice.
Great content, as always Das…thank you.
Per the % of played games…many of mine are Slitherine/Matrix & GOG.
Happy New Year! Thanks for all your awesome content! Keep up the great work! 🙂
Thanks for all the content in the old year and looking forwrd to future content. Happy New Year, Das!
Total War Warhammer 3 is worth a re-visit for those who were let down by its release. If you own the 3 games the new combined campaign is really fun, even if still flawed.
Thanks Das tactics for all these reviews and Happy new Year from France 🙂 !
Loving your DF videos. Defo will be getting one of the tshirts. Would be great to see some distant worlds 2 vids as well
Too many gems on this list! I'm besotted with DF but the other games are doing a strong job of tempting me to try them. Great list! Crawl Tactics and Odd Realm both deserve a look after seeing them on your list. Thanks for highlighting them.
Very fun list(s) Das, thanks so much and all the best for 2023!
happy new year to dastactic and all his dastacticites. still love your unique perspektive on games.glad that my numner one is your number three. we will see where our way will lead us. that it is a way together is a given ^^
So the reason I loved dw1 is why I won't get dw2 the ship building freedom…. If I wanted 6 component ships I'd play Stellaris, if I wanted to micro a fleet I'd play homeworld or sins, I have about every great space 4x game made, and quite a few not great ones, this doesn't bring anything to the table. Dw 1 was a more modern MoO to me and I loved it
Great video Das, I almost entirely agree with the whole list, just to make a change, and this nursed me through a fairly horrific New Years Day hangover!
Great to see love for Brigandine particularly, it's such a great game and I need to play that one a whole lot more.
Yeah, that Steam replay was quite a surprise, wasn't it? But it wasn't a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed seeing which games I played the most (on Steam, at least; I wish GOG and Epic would do that, too).
PS. I just got a new computer, so I can finally play games again. And right now, I'm playing Victoria 3 like crazy. I love it. (Admittedly, I can't wait till I can get back to Terra Invicta, too.)
Nice list. Great channel Distant Worlds 2 is still early with limited reviews (less than 2000 compared to DF 15000+) I'll revisit it in Q3
would love some Victoria 3 later this year. It's much better now than the release. Gladius is a gem of a game.
Love the list! I've played many of these, but I'm going to give the ones I haven't tried a shot. It's been a great year for strat/sim games. I also love the recent Dwarf Fortress release and your series of it is super.
So many good games this year! Shadow Empire has been my favourite.
Highly recommend your top game you'd wish to play (dont want to spoil for new watchers). It's an immense series now and to have so much asymmetrical and wild and varied matchups on the combined map, it's a joy to play.
