I personally want more physics simulations. I always loved 2D falling sand games where everything reacted with each other and after a long time not having games with those mechanics i found noita and i can't stop playing it. As much for the game loop then for the game's falling sand engine.

There's just not really anything else quite like Noita, is there. What a great game.

I'm 200 hours in with no wins! It's the first game that's really grabbed me since I transitioned away from flatscreen gaming to VR a few years back.

Same. I'm always playing a variety of VR games and noita. But if i could play noita in VR i definitely would XD
I found this guy https://youtube.com/@grantkot?si=lRNFq8OeSnPm8wOO on youtube that has a great looking engine that has already partly implemented VR he says and i can't wait to see where this goes!

Looks awesome, I'll keep an eye on that! If you haven't heard of Cabbibo you should definitely check out his work. This one fits in this thread nicely: Blaarp

I'm back to say i just played Blarp for like 2 hours and it was really fun! Once i got the flow of things i really enjoyed it. My final score was 47.

Glad you enjoyed it! You must have very good coordination I think my high score is under 30!

I really enjoyed Osmos back in the day. Like a relaxing Katamari.

Does it ever go on sale on steam? It's already pretty cheap but i might as well wait for a discount.

No idea, I got it on a Humble Bundle about 15 years ago.

I just came back to say that i'm really enjoying osmos! Some levels are pretty challenging and i love it!

Same. I want more physics, more depth to character dialogue, more animations, etc. High res graphics are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to making games feel immersive. At this point a bunch of older games feel newer or more modern to me because they actually include this stuff.

Started reading your comment and was just about to recommend you play Noita lol.

Numpty Physics, Box Stacker(Fdroid) or Neverputt are all pretty fun.

PowderToy is excellent as mentioned above.

I really thought that’s where it was all headed. After the release of battlefield bad company, where they introduced a game engine that can destroy whole buildings, I really had hope for the future.

I imagined games where you can just build and destroy entire cities.
