Ah yeah I could see that. My family got into it for a few months and was a lot of fun. I did have pretty good experiences with randos though.

Maybe give FFXIV a try! There’s a pretty expanded free portion that lets you play through a large portion of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay and there’s something resembling a story.

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification!

I just recently started playing OW2 again after several years. I was able to unlock all of the heroes just by playing. I didn’t pay anything. My kids also have unlocked the vast majority without paying anything.

Is the only difference here that you won’t have to get to level 30 or whatever on the free tier battle pass?

Since everyone’s mentioned the standards.

I’ve really enjoyed playing Tails of Iron (metroidvania with a focus on learning bosses attacks) lately. For programming games, I really liked Shenzhen IO (You create hardware with something resembling an Assembly language and a printable manual) and Human Resources Machine (drag and drop assembly programming)

I also have a soft spot for anything from Ska Studios (I maed a game with zombies in it, salt and sanctuary, salt and sacrifice, dishwasher, Charlie murder, and a bunch of older games that are probably not playable anymore)

Also looks like everyone else forgot to mention the great game that is Undertale as well.
