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.

It’s a cool sandbox with a bunch of different materials you can mess with.

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!

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.

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.

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.
