If you were going to be stranded on a desert island, and for some reason you could bring 5 video games with their required hardware and means to power them, what would they be? No compilations or online multiplayer if you want to be a purist about it, but I’m still interested if you have thoughts about them :)

    Any time someone mentions FTL, I use it as an opportunity to let people know about the Multiverse mod. It’s been praised by the original devs and is like 4x bigger than the base game.

    It’s set 20 years after the first game and adds hundreds of new ships and weapons, several new races, new sectors, thousands of new events, new win conditions, new achievements, everything. It’s essentially FTL 2.

    If you liked the original FTL, seriously check out Multiverse, it’s breathed new life into the game in a way I’ve never seen another mod do.

      Thanks for the rundown. My biggest problem is that the literal only copy I have is from the DRM-free Humble Bundle from way back then (I gave away the Steam key to a friend of a friend), which is on a higher version than with what Multiverse is compatible, so I’ve never been able to play it all these years even though I’ve been itching to try.

          I’d rather just play other games as I don’t feel good about doing that, partly because I don’t want to deal with any malware risk due to confidential information on my personal PC.
