Gloomhaven for PC is legit. All the fun (and frustration) of the board game without the management of all the pieces. Expansion of Jaws of the Lion is available for it as well.
ARK is a repeat and requires 60GB of storage. Where are the 4TB SSD deals?
Looking forward to Gloomhaven though.
Yeah, these posts normally draw a lot of annoyed responses from people saying to wait until it's actually free to make the post, but I am absolutely thankful to OP because I was thinking about buying Gloomhaven this week.

If you enjoy open world surival like Ark, make sure to try Subnautica and No Mans Sky, I find them even more enjoyable.

Both are amazing games and the come back that NMS made is so incredibly impressive. That game is so amazing now.

Holy hell. I've always wanted to play Gloomhaven, am an experienced board game player, but what the hell?! It's so difficult! I find myself running out of cards and unable to rest well before I finish a scenario!

I made the same mistake. Make sure to only use the abilities with the little burn icon in the lower right when you absolutely need to. That icon means the whole card gets burned instead of discarded and I was constantly exhausting. Now I only use the non burn action of those cards until the end or if I know I have enough cards to rest to finish the campaign.

NMS is incredibly fun and i was surprised it's only 12gb.

I played Ark on Epic last year it was 100gb. I tried to transfer the game to a larger drive but it got error and I just gave up. LOL I got Ark for free from steam a few months back and its 130gb download for base game.

Quote from JeffF1116 :
Lol 60gb. More like 400gb once you have all DLC which is needed if you want to ever compete with any tribe in the game. Also, could be more storage if you want to play with mods
I don't know what people are complaining about, with ARK you won't have any free time to play other games, so all you need is a 512GB ssd.

The epic installer just errors out. Their tech support points me to a FAQ that doesn't solve the problem. Sad.

This is super interesting, thank you. I'm not sure I'm adventurous enough to try it... Seems pretty awesome though
