  • Here are some more good puzzle games that are not Portal/Portal 2:

    • Colossal Cave
    • The Entropy Centre
    • Hourglass
    • Myst
    • Obduction
    • Pneuma: Breath of Life
    • Quantum Conundrum (one of the original Portal developers was attached to this project)
    • Quern: Undying Thoughts
    • Riven (this is the sequel to Myst, but unlike Myst, it has never been remade since it first came out back in 1997, so you’ll have to excuse the old graphics and gameplay)
    • The Talos Principle (the sequel is coming out soon)
    • The Turing Test
    • The Witness

    If you can only play one of the above, then as the other commentors have said, make it The Witness. The recent remake of Myst is also very good.



  • Please ignore cloud; they have been posting inaccurate flamebait throughout this thread.

    I would never not buy a laptop from Apple. Not only are they the last PC maker that hasn’t fallen to the Microsoft Monopoly Machine, but their laptops are well-built†, futuristic, and have incredible value and battery life for what you get. Especially since they migrated off of Intel.

    † I know someone will inevitably come up with a counter-example, but the last time they had a widespread quality problem was a little more than ten years ago.






  • With Minecraft, the Java edition was & still is available on many different platforms, but the later Minecraft games that were made after the Microsoft takeover have, for the most part, only come out for Microsoft platforms. Minecraft Dungeons, for instance, never came out on GNU or macOS.

    The Bedrock edition was ported to PlayStation, but for how much longer will it be available, I wonder…



  • Because, to the majority of console gamers in the Americas and Europe, Call of Duty, FIFA, GTA, and Madden are the Only Games That Actually Matter™. There are a few million people that buy PlayStations just to play 1-2 of those games to the exclusion of everything else.

    Now that they’ve taken out one of the four major reasons why people outside of Asia buy PlayStations, they can extinguish PlayStation & assert a monopoly on console gaming. It’s sickening.

    And somehow, I don’t think that Sony resurrecting the Resistance series & making it into an annual release that always launches during the holiday season will make much of a difference.
