I like games that allow for a multitude of different approaches, especially if the environment reacts in a certain way to the choices you make.

Bonus points for games that are somewhat casual, but also allow you to sink a lot of time.

Examples: mount and blade: bannerlord

You play as a fief, lord or king and try to navigate politics. Fellow nobles remember what you do, for example saving a captured noble gives positive karma, but killing a lord that they have a positive relationship with will give you negative karma. This point system decides whether or not they help you during conquest, or if they allow you to court their daughter.

Reigns series
People approach your court with questions that range from bs to serious military decisions. The choices can have an effect on your kingdom or reveal the lore of the world. It’s not extremely deep, and the effects on gameplay are limited, but it’s still fun to see new cards and events.

Hitman
Targets react to things happening in the world. Changing things will make targets go to specific spots or do specific actions. For example, sabotaging the target’s opponent will make the target win. Then you assassinate them by sabotaging the fire works or poisoning the champagne she’s going to drink during the medal ceremony.

How do you deal with strangers, injury and natural disasters?

LOCATION: Utah, Oregon

An elderly man consigned his massive, $200,000 Star Wars Lego collection to a local Bricks & Minifigs store. However, when the franchise changed ownership and corporate took over the location, the new management refused to return the Lego or pay the man for his collection, essentially keeping it.

YouTuber RecklessBen caught wind of the story and decided to step in to help the elderly man get his property back. Ben usually known for his guerilla ‘on your doorstep’ type journalism, and it reflects in the way he is handling things. Instead of traditional journalism, Ben used highly unconventional, chaotic, and legally questionable guerrilla tactics.

He’s very confrontational, which led to his arrest, as he repeatedly showed up to the business owners’ house.

Besides that, he orchestrated an elaborate scheme to manipulate one of the employees into giving up the number of the store’s owner.

He’s also likes to troll with the store’s owner. Like creating a similar company with similar logo’s to bait BAM into suing him, or using a fake but legally recognised religion to make a legal raffle where one of the LEGO sets is the price, making it a criminal case.

If you’re interested you should look for better recaps online or watch the videos. I’m not entirely caught up and am probably not doing the entire situation justice.

I’m not a lawyer, and don’t really have a stake in the situation. I do find it interesting however, as I do think Ben is genuine in his pursuit of justice, and I sympathise with the goal.

In my opinion, he shoots himself in the foot by acting very unprofessional. He is prioritising displaying the absurdity of the situation above the reality of the actual situation for comedy’s sake. He’s very naive and believes that because he is morally right, he is also legally in the clear.

I’m curious what others with more expertise think.
