I'll give 2 spoiler- free examples;

As a die hard Resident Evil fan the 7th game didn't immediately grab me due to all the changes in tone, camera and a self insert protagonist, the moment I got to the basement and I felt like I was back in the cramped halls of Spencer Mansion or the RPD. Now it's one of my favourites to run on a semi regular basis and I've managed to get just under 3 hours on madhouse.

Remnant 2's prologue was a bit rough but my buddy insisted I stick it out until I unlocked the option to venture to the other worlds/missions. That first proper run might be the best co-op fun I've had since the launch of Borderlands 3. What began as a roughly 45 minutes slog through what felt like AA MMO design and writing has become our once a fortnightly co-op ritual.

Its hard for me to play games as i get more and more duties in my daily life. 2 years ago i used to play every weekend, now i rarely spend 2 hours in a week

I love this game! I’ve completed everything but still play it quite often. Im super excited for the new game

I’ll start with DLS26 💔

Hey everyone!

I'm planning to build a free browser-based multiplayer game, but instead of jumping straight into development with a random idea, I figured I'd ask the people who would actually play it.

I'm curious about what kind of multiplayer games people genuinely enjoy or wish existed.

It could be anything:

• A casual board game to play with friends
• A competitive strategy game
• A chaotic party game
• A social deduction or bluffing game
• Something completely new that hasn't been done before

I'm especially interested in games that are easy to get into but hard to stop playing. Something you could open in your browser, invite a few friends, and have fun without downloading anything.

A few questions:

1. What's one multiplayer game you never get bored of?
2. Is there a game concept you wish someone would make?
3. What makes you keep coming back to an online game?
4. Would you prefer quick 5–10 minute matches or longer sessions?

I'm open to pretty much any genre. I'm not trying to promote a project or sell anything, just genuinely looking for ideas and understanding what people would enjoy.

If you've ever thought, "I wish there was an online multiplayer game where you could ___," I'd love to hear it!

Thanks in advance!

[Academic] Why do we return to video games? (PC and console players who returned after a break of 6+ months)

Hi! I’m a university student working on RETURN, a visual communication design project about why people return to games they have played before.

You can take part if you returned to a PC or console game originally released before 2020 after a break of at least six months. Mobile games are not included in this study.

Please answer about your most recent return that meets these conditions. Your responses will help me create an interactive project combining data visualizations and players’ stories.
