This game is on my to buy list, but probably in a few years when they have ironed out all the issues and dropped the DLC in a GOTY or whatever edition they make later.
I am currently reading A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher. I love her other work so I am excited to read this and the first few chapters read easily for me which is nice.
On a more SciFi note I just finished Artifact Space by Miles Cameron and it was decent. The protagonist is kinda annoying with the "I'm an idiot" thing but is pretty much good at everything they do. The author also goes into a lot of details on stuff that doesn't feel important to the story so it kinda felt like a slog to get through some of the earlier parts.
My wife and I play northgard together and it's nice they keep supporting it. We haven't really found much else she enjoys like northgard so we keep buying the content to keep them going!
I just recently set up jellyfin as a way for my family to access the stored media outside of my house. Our current Networking setup doesn't play nicely with VPNs so this was an easy way to do that.
It depends on your partners and what you want your experience to be. Want to do stupid shit and be silly? Then coop is for you. Want to take the story seriously and get fully immersed? Maybe solo is better for you
Infuse endeavour and have recommended it in the past and it seems pretty easy as well as stable.
