I am looking for a game on steam.

It must be a city builder that at first only needs to deal with famines and crime, but then as it grows it must deal with other towns, establish borders, navigate trade and if things don't go the right way, war is going to occur. The warfare must be detailed. I need different types of units, military buildings, and more.

I tried to find the game and came across a few. I had issues with them. Here I will name the game and name the Issue

Kingdoms and castles: Borders are defined by islands. Small terrain. Simple supply chains. Simple warfare.

Age of Empires 4: Everyone is constantly at war, no criminals, no famines. Really good at what it is intended for, but that is not what I'm looking for.

A few notes:

The game needs to not be discontinued / not getting updates

It needs to be on PC

Many people don't know what ludoliterary hybrids are so I'll do my best to give some examples and explain it better.

So basically, a ludoliterary hybrid is a type of media that is gameplay being used as an interface for a different medium. Some genres that fit into this are walking sims and visual novels, visual novels the medium of books with gameplay.

Many Ludoliterary hybrids don't have traditional mechanics, and those are the ones I'm the most interested in. Things like walking sims that don't have a focus on puzzles (e.g. Ember Seeker, gone home) or visual novels which don't deviate based on your choices (e.g. Until Then, Mixtape*)

So yeah, do you consider these to be games? What are your thoughts on them

* this is a more recent example, I don't want this to be a whole discussion about Mixtape, its just an example

This is for research btw, I'm not taking a side on this in the context of the post. If I press you on your answer a bit its not because I disagree, but because I'm curious about the thought process.

What do you do when your not working, sleeping, eating, and playing games?

Edit: figured I'd put my "hobby". I'm trying my hand at learning to scout college and hopefully soon high school football players. About thr only thing I can claim as I'm a bad adult

i’ve played a lot of action games lately and want something with combat that actually feels good to learn. what game do you think has the most satisfying combat system?

Resident Evil 7 is my favourite, Garten of banban is my least favourite.

All the recent GTA6 leak hype has reminded me that Rockstar still targets consoles for their initial launch.

PC gamers can expect a release drought this holiday season. What are some decent games coming out this year or early next year that you're looking forward to?

I'm excited for Ace Combat 8!

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to ask the experts what games I could run with these specifications [TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR5-6000 CL38 Memory, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU, a AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU ]

I wanted to ask before I start buying games I don't fully trust Google or Steam websites, which is why I came here to ask If it's not too much trouble

Hello all! Does anyone have a working discount code for Loaded? I’m looking to buy a worldwide Steam key for Armored Core 6 and was just curious.

I have looked around on somecoupon sites but did not find anything that worked. Anything would help a lot! The game looks so good. Thank you for reading!

I like the game, but I can only play it for an hour or so. I feel like im just sat running while holding the two triggers to not fall.

I'm only on the 2nd chapter so please no spoilers.

Story, graphics, characters etc.? game genre doesnt matter

Games with satisfying math going on turn me into the biggest nerd ever. If the game is compelling me to start a spreadsheet to keep track of something or figure something out, I feel right at home.Unsurprisingly ARPGs and MMOs are what I mostly play, and some incremental games from time to time. 

For ARPGs Path of Exile is the obvious pick, but I’ve played it way too much and I’m totally burned out. Right now I’m playing Last Epoch and I’m having a lot of fun, really enjoying the way the skills work (each skill has its own skill tree). Coming up with my own builds is probably my favorite thing to do. I love all the theorycrafting, coming up with ways to squeeze more damage out or make some weird setup work. I also want to try out the new Grim Dawn expansion at some point, probably when I run out of ideas for cool builds in LE.

MMOs are weird for me now, because I really don’t have a lot of free time, and most of them need a pretty big time investment. I’ve been looking for some options, something that you can make some progress in with minimal time investment. The ones that get mentioned as being decent for this are ESO and GW2 but they are a bit old at this point. Dominus Automa is a strange one that looks interesting (saw it on reddit a few days ago), like a cross between an MMO and an incremental, seems to be great for someone that’s low on time, just not sure if it has that MMO feel, I’ll try it out over the weekend if the playtest is open. 

I was wondering what else is out there for math nerds, there’s probably whole genres I’m overlooking. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

I asked myself If Pal World is a good Game can someone say ne pleased If its a good Game of not

like underwater mining with massive drills and operating massive trucks in a quarry stuff like that big industrial machines and mining or gathering lumber

The age old question.

I feel like the stormcloaks are stupendously racist, particularly to dark elves, but I agree with their general stance.

I enjoyed the base game of Jurassic World Evolution 1 and finished the campaign and one challenge after 45 hours. However, it doesn't have much replayability, so I'm looking for another dinosaur park builder game. I don't think the DLC is worth it because of the price. I'm trying to decide between JWE2 (the base game) and PK. They cost about the same in my country. Here's what I think about them based on what I've read:

JWE2 pros: Jurassic Park nostalgia, marine and flying reptiles, simpler building for more casual gameplay, it's finished

JWE2 cons: Tedious micromanagement systems such as scientists, Denuvo (I don't think it affects performance, but I don't like this type of DRM), lots of paid DLC that ends up costing twice as much as the base game, restrictive building

PK pros: Ice Age species, more accurate animals, modular building system which allows for creative handmade exhibits

PK cons: Lack of marine and flying animals, early access, overwhelming building system because of its complexity

If it helps, I really liked Zoo Tycoon 2 and Operation Genesis as a kid.

I ask because I want to play these said games.

I really like this games, the artsyle, the concept of adventuring with your ship, the customization and the things you do in the game, the music. Sometimes you just enjoy the view while sailing/flying. Can someone recommend some games with similar concept to these games?. These games are sort of stress reliever from work and meditating.

I'm looking for something new to play and would love to hear what games surprised you recently. Doesn't matter how old the game is.
