Games that provided most/least value for money

[Seed22]

Update: Flintlock is…not exactly least value if you get it on gamepass. But it is pretty average or lackluster depending on how important these factors are to you. 
 

Character story is..mostly pretty solid. I like the relationship between the MC and her companion, pretty well done.

 

Combat is clunky with parrying really only being great with the use of a skill in the skill tree for pistol combat. Hit boxes are trash though. 
 

Final boss is artificial difficulty, plain and simple. Worse boss I’ve ever fought in a game. 
 

Overall score? 6.5/10. 7 if I was to be super generous. Its a gamepass game 🤷🏾‍♂️

Best value:

Civ 5&6

Gloomhaven

CoX

Darkest Dungeon

Cultist Simulator

Frost Punk

... the older I get the more I value turn-based games so I can stop at any point to go do what needs done and jump right in where I left off without a problem. CoX is the anomaly 😄 

 

Worst value:

Any Telltale game (I play once and never again yet... still kept doing it over and over 😑)

FIFA any year (because I work too much to play it enough before the next year comes out)

WoW/EVE... because I spent countless hours not doing anything productive/fun just grinding away for something because that was the only way to get ahead

Best Value:

 

Lies of P & Black Myth Wukong.  Both games are absolute bangers. Im in NG+ for both and I’d easily recommend it to anyone looking for some challenging yet fun gameplay. One IS a soulslike though and the other is similar to ninja gaiden in terms of difficulty so YMMV if you like that sorta thing. 
 

Storytelling in both is easily top tier for sure.

I've been replaying TES 4: Oblivion lately while waiting on Avowed and I'd forgotten how much fun that one was! I've got @ 30ish game hours and I still haven't been to Kvatch yet.

Out of the games I've played for value:

 

Most value, due to replay and time spent:

 

Minecraft - I mainly play on a LGBT server called Grandma's House, and I have spent months of time online.  I'm a maker at heart so building things and digging caves out is very satisfying for me

Terraria - over 1500 hours clocked on Steam, same reasons as Minecraft

Fallout 4 - not including Fallout London (which is almost it's own game) I have over 900 hours clocked in on Steam, and I'm always finding new bunkers, or cleverly placed teddy bears

 

Least value:

 

Fallout 76 - I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't think you should have to pay for the game AND a monthly subscription to get ahead in the game.  It just feels wrong.  Especially for people who aren't great at video games and just want to follow the story.  Some combat is fine, but with such limited resources, and having to run from deathclaws 200 times higher than your level is really unfair.

 

Borderlands 3 - it was....okay, but the story line kinda sucked.  The DLC's are more worth it than the main plotline

They Bleed Pixels - It's a platformer that's so hard that I have a really hard time playing it.  I like the vibe, the graphics are fun, but as for gameplay, again I'm not that great so its most likely my personal experience that's limiting my enjoyment.
