I’ve always wanted to try a farming sim. I think I own two versions of Stardew Valley but haven’t played either of them!
I know if I do get into one it will be game over for any other games.

I played it on release, and enjoyed it for the most part.
It’s not as good as the original games, with a weaker story, weaker characters and a wasted opportunity with the new galaxy, but it’s still a decent game in its own right. The combat was great fun, and while the other stuff isn’t up to the standard of the originals it’s also not bad.
I remember some of the collectathon side quest tasks were a bit tedious, but I think they can be avoided.
The Starfield Direct showing really sold me on this. It looks like it comes the closest to my dream space game of anything released so far. Elite Dangerous nailed the feel of piloting your own spacecraft, but I didn’t get on with the actual structure of the game. No Man’s Sky continues to do amazing things, but its spaceflight feels a bit too stripped back for me and it still feels a little too aimless for my tastes.
This looks like a perfect middle ground, all backed up with a full blown Bethesda RPG too keep me engaged. :D
My only criticisms based on the Direct are that characters, and indeed character interactions still look a bit dated compared to more recent games, especially Cyberpunk 2077, and that the combat still looks a little janky. Don’t get me wrong, it looks a lot better than Bethesda’s older games, but still seems to be showcasing some rather basic AI and spongey enemies. Hopefully the RPG elements will make this side of the game feel more rewarding.
You probably know this already, but X11 hasn’t been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.
