It is that good.
Solid multiplayer, great campaign, new story focused DLC (that's cheap) expands it more, fun economic battles rather then military, fantastic OST by Christopher Tin, and it keeps being maintained and expanded by the devs. It got Steam Workshop mod support just yesterday.

Ah okay. That PC Gamer quote made it sound a little more daunting.

Just make sure that you have the time to properly play the tutorials, and you will be fine.

Was going to get Astroneer but it sounds like it has performance issues, and Tom Chick's review sold me on OTC instead
Which DLC would you recommend?

Yeah. I can only play so much 2fort.
The way they made Overwatch corrected all my issues with TF2. In a perfect world Valve would've made TF3 in 2012 and all this would have been moot.
But, lol Valve

The Patron and the Patriot expands the campaign with some interesting additions. Probably the one to the get first, but I still haven't gotten around to play it that much.
The Ceres Iniative is good when you feel that you want more of the game, but it's not needed to start with.

Always bring a smile out with lists like this,well a smile and an oof
The only thing that pisses me off here is that he liked Shadow Warrior 2, and I am envious of anyone who could, because it was my bitterest disappointment of the year.
I wanted to love it as much as the first.
I love that he covers interesting games. A much more average list would've been a bunch of games everyone else talks about. You'd have a bunch of the same people from the same publications talking about the same 10 or so games, most of which they played on the PS4 or something. It's always boring. Not Chick. He's always enjoyable.

Chick, Parkin, and Time's are the lists I look forward to every year. And then searching the GAF thread for certain indie games and seeing the lists of the posters who included them.
Like if someone include a game like Offworld or Shadow Tactics or some other more obscure indie game on a list, It's probably going to be a pretty interesting list. Like lists with Age of Decadence last year

Well, it's not disappointing for starters

Always good to read his stuff. I disagree with it as often as I agree with it, but he does a good job of explaining his perspective.
Also, I need to try Quadrilateral Cowboy.

I don't know who the guy is but that writing had me chuckling the whole way through. I'll try to keep tabs on him some more in the future.

Good to see Shadow Warrior 2 getting some much deserved love, I did not expect that from Chick.

Oh, he is one of those management lovers of the Planet Coaster forums...

I really like playing Shadow Warrior 2 (especially the movement mechanics and variety of weapons), and don't even mind the loot system. It's just disappointing story-wise, I don't care as much about the characters. In what other ways were you disappointed?
