For a WC like, I would go for Everspace I or II. 
Or House of the Dying Sun !

Ok, will check it out. Stupid question: do you find such games enjoyable with a standard keyboard? Thatās how I played the original WC but am rusty with my key control skills.
Very subjective.
Many prefer keyboard / mouse, for me itās joypad directly.

If you like zombie games, Days Gone is really fun! I just bought it on sale since itās now available for Windows and I donāt have a PS4 or PS5. I also like the new God of War but itās different than the old ones.

Just took a gander at House of the Dying Sun. That looks like a lot of fun for $5.99.

Agreed! Itās subjective, but I find playing space sim type games to be much more enjoyable with a gamepad these days. (I used to play with the keyboard as well back in the WC/WC2 era, or with my 2 button analog joystick on occasion 
)
I play No Manās Sky using a PS5 DualSense (on the PC) and itās a completely transparent and enjoyable experience.

Are the $15 controllers sold at Walmart and such good enough for casual gaming?
I managed to get the gog.com version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 running on my Mac and itās sucked me in like it did more than two decades ago. It is one of the best games Iāve ever played. Highly recommended.

Crying Suns is amazing.
Heavily inspired by FTL, but not so deep and addictive, yet absolutely beautiful. Very atmospheric, rather story-focused.

The Microsoft controllers are very good, durable and offer full compatibility, I imagine that those from Sony must be not bad either even if from time to time I come across messages with some incompatibilities but which are resolved with the Steam manager or other apps. The case of other controllers seems more complicated, some benefit from drivers or copies of universal drivers, others are a horror. You have to be well informed. I had a logitech atrocious, buggy and with not very pleasant edges. I had one controller from 360 and two from One, perfect and very durable, I find the price justified and the quality very good. To choose in any case, you have to take in handā¦ Very subjective again.

I tried the Diablo Beta also for 4h, but i thought it was boring. Played Necro and Druid, the Necro was very OP compared to the Druid.

I need to try it out today. I am a big fan of the past Diablo games.
Hmmm, i played Druid and had fun.
Looking forward to playing this couch coop with my wife. She is not a gamer, but loved playing D3 with me.
I still remember trying out the Diablo 3 beta and complaining all the way.
This could be done betterā¦ A missed opportunityā¦ Mehā¦ Nice, but not greatā¦ Okayā¦ OH FUCK ITāS 4 AM
Havenāt played it since then lol.

At least this beta , wasnt as bad as the other ones i remember, the logon que was like 10 minutes at maximum, to the times i played, when i remember the old days, that could be 1h or more.
Maybe the druid build wasnt the best, i respecced it , but then the story got old quick with the 2nd playthrough. (1st playthrough was engaging though.)

I played the Diablo 4 beta last night as necromancer and I only lost connection once but performance online was kinda slow even with high speed internet. Game is ok but I donāt see much improvement over Diablo 3 and requiring online connection to play the game is lame. I would not pay for the game. I liked Elden Ring way better.

I tried the Diablo 4 beta and Iām glad I did because it saved me some money. Not going to be buying the game.
I remember when the first Diablo came out, wow that was a great game back then.
4 is just a rehash of all the other games Iāve played. Donāt have the time to waste on it. It just made me sad to think how much better in general computer games used to be.
