I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

I feel you on Diablo 4. I can't bring myself to log in to do the new season. Plus note, huge update and new DLC coming to Grim Dawn. Super excited there.

As someone else that has a hard time finishing a game (be it time/too many others to play), what are some open ended ones you could reco if any?

๐Ÿ˜„ there are a few:

  • Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.

  • Tiny Thor -> another good platformer

  • Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game... But it seems like the visuals are. ๐Ÿค” As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.

  • Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a "short" round inbetween...

  • Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.

  • Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.

Fantastic, thank you! I'll check these out as some I was not aware of.
