Stardew Valley, which mashes-up Harvest Moon, Minecraft, and Animal Crossing elements, recently went on sale on Steam, and I scooped it up. Yeah, if you're looking to avoid getting trapped into games which suck your time into a black hole, stay away from that one!
I also enjoy the Saints Row series. Saints Row 2 was a better Grand Theft Auto IV than Grand Theft Auto IV. No mandatory bowling with your cousin…
Are you trying to give me a new addiction?? You're like a drug pusher. Haha!
Totally agree with everything you said about Saints Row.
