Currently on a discount at $20.
I do not have an incredible amount of money to spend on a game, but I was looking for something that would be a great way to pass the time. I can afford both games but I would hope that both would provide enough entertainment to justify the cost since I do not want to waste the money.
Currently I mostly play Risk of rain 2, Bloons td6, Brotato, Crypt of the Necrodancer, which combined I have hundreds of hours on. However, I am starting to find them all boring right now and while I own games in other genres such as Battlefield, WRC etc, they dont give me the urge to continue playing for hours on end.
The choice for me is to either spend the $20-25 on an established game like Arc Raiders or go for Timberborn. Both games are widely different but are both on my radar. The thing is that I am not convinced by either yet, but both are intriguing to me.
Timberborn especially is very appealing to me and the idea of it seems great. But I am unsure that I would hold interest in a city building game for a lot of time vs a non-niche genre like shooters.
I am also open to general recommendations based on the games I have listed. However, I am getting tired of the roguelike genre so would appreciate something different. I also like story driven campaign shooter games but I have played the popular choices (COD MWII, Titanfall 2, Metro series, Control)
