Help me, #gamers of the Fediverse!

I love big, #openWorld games where you travel to lots of places and explore different terrains and people groups — the classic examples being #Bethesda games like the #ElderScrolls (#Oblivion, #Skyrim) and #Fallout.

My only #gaming platform is my #SteamDeck. What other games should I look at that wlll give me this experience? Bonus points if (like Skyrim and unlike Fallout) the worlds are beautiful.

Old games are just fine, BTW.

Received my copy of #Penult in #cartridge form today. It's a #demake of #ultima for the #Atari2600, an #OpenWorld #RPG, I'm amazed that a game like this can run on my original 1977 #VideoGame machine. It was cutting edge to run Ultima on an #apple2 when it first came out in 1981. It even comes with an official cloth map. Super cool, thanks to #AtariAge and the developer. Maybe I should get it running in VR :-) Does anyone know where I can get an #Atarivox so I can save my game.

Starsector (formerly "Starfarer") is still in development but it's been a seriously impressive game for years. Not yet on Steam or any other store, as you have to buy it direct, but don't let that stop you with a big update out now.

Morning Folks! I was a sucker and upgraded my GamePass copy of Avowed to deluxe so I could play last night. It is pretty solid thus far.

I also talk a bit about wrapping up #PohxLeague in #PathOfExile as I prepare for the #LegacyOfPhrecia event.
