I know most of the Bethesda RPGs have massive mod support, and there’s games like Minecraft that have more mods than anyone can imagine. I would consider those games pretty playable in their vanilla states. Would you say there are any games that were “saved” by modding? Or that are still kept alive by thriving modding communities? What are some of your favorite mods?
Tabletop Simulator and Garry’s mod is all modding, they would be very boring without it. (Tabletop might have the DLC addon content worth playing).
Cities Skylines fixes many of the broken aspects of vanilla and adds things to the point that Paradox added some of them into an enhanced console edition.
Slay the Spire, it’s already an amazing game to begin with, but mods allow it to be absolutely insane with customization and cards. Even multiplayer is supported (Together in Spire) and works quite well!
American/Euro Truck Sim has a multitude of mods that add great stuff and even more realism to the game.
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is more or less a bog-standard shooting game without mods, but the number of crazy, funny and innovative maps for zombies gives it an insane amount of replayability.
Wait, hold on. Multiplayer Slay the Spire? Is it like playing against one another or is it cooperative? I haven’t played in a while but I have to hear more about this…
You heard right… co-operative multiplayer Slay the Spire with your friends or randos.
Together In Spire Steam Workshop
This is the one I use, supports up to 10 people at once! Enemy health scales so with two people it’s difficult, 4 people it’s pretty easy at base difficulty, any more you may want to split up into groups to not be too overpowered.
It even works kinda OK with some other mods but sometimes crashes.
tabletop sim is basically a magic the gathering emulator for me at this point
It’s ok you get to play with digital versions of the paper NFTs.
i have spent far too much money on those paper rectangles. the game’s really fun, at least
Are the Slay the Spire mods all PC only, or do some work in the mobile version?
Edit: I’m intrigued by the CoD zombies comment, too. I’ve never been into those games, but, maybe for zombies…
might be pc only sorry… It uses a ModTheSpire Java application. The mods are on Steam Workshop as well.
About CoDBO3 yeah Zombies is fun and I’m not huge on PvP FPS. Only downside is it hardly ever goes on sale and is fairly large install size (plus map mods are large too).
