On one hand, I really want to continue of Ghost of Tsushima.
On the other hand, I have Genshin Impact installed that Ive been meaning to try (reddit and my younger sister tell me its easily possible to do all but the highest level stuff without spending any money,/gambling and even said content is still doable with skill).
Though in the end, Ill probably default to Stardew Valley 😂
Give Genshin a try, but be warned in advance that they have an "energy" system that determines how much actual gameplay you'll get to enjoy. It refreshes every 12 hours (without paid boosters), but iirc, they give you some freebie energy boosts in the beginning to get you hooked.
As pretty as the game is, the hours of grind needed to make progress on leveling your characters and gear, and the relative lack of content when your energy gauge is refreshing, made me leave (someone will point out quests, but once those are done, they're done, and you'll still need to grind on top of that).
But there's people who still love it. Maybe you will, too.
Huh, chances are I actually might.
I have serious issues running a game to the ground (aka, obsessively play just one game) before moving on, especially large games. (I WANT to enjoy them. I also want enjoy everything else in the game. End up burned out by the final boss. )
Been trying to pace myself with Stardew, and been successful do far, but I was looking for something switch up with Stardew. This just might be it.
Thanks for the heads up!
Like I said, it ticks the boxes for some people, and if you're patient enough (pun intended), you can absolutely play for free and still have plenty to do.
I think I put $60 into the game over time, setting that limit intentionally, and I had a good enough time just making use of the free pulls and battle pass. You'll definitely hit a wall of the end of the content, but they've added several things since I last played, so there will likely be plenty to do.
Sidenote: there's no difference between the two MCs other than gender, so play as the one you think looks the best.
Roger, thank you so much!
I bought Ghost of Tsushima in one of the recent sales, and I've been enjoying it a great deal, so I'll likely be joining you there.
Take this as lemmy also joining reddit and your sister in saying that all of genshin's exploration and quests are super casual and free to play characters can easily do them.
The only thing hard to do while f2p are two endgame dungeons that change monthly. But these two endgame dungeons have nothing to do with any main or side quests and you can completely ignore them if you want.
Roger, thanks for the info!
