What are /sci/ approved games ?

textbooks

>>8923812
Sci's only approved game is reporting non science related thread such as yours.

this really belongs in >>>/v/ so sage, but if you must know... anything by zachtronics - TIS-100 for instance.

Any of Terry A. Davis's

Talos principle is pretty good too

Stellaris is pretty good.

turn-based is for brainlets. real-time is where it's at

>>8924058
I already have Shenzen I/O, but is TIS-100 also good ?

From the Depths, only game where I've ever had to use math above algebra to play.

Well I'm /sci/ and I like fighting games and story heavy walking simulators (Gone Home, SOMA, etc).

I really enjoyed TIS 100. Very similar puzzles to Shenzhen, but different enough that I think you'll still find it fresh.

EteRNA
Basically foldit except with cute 2D RNA structures instead.

KSP

What's a good problem solving game? I mean where you have to recognize a pattern (like raven matrix or sucessions), or do some math. A "smart" game

took me a second to get the joke

Engineering Simulation or puzzle games such as Spacechem or Children of a Dead Earth.

Learning and problem solving.

>>8924149
Chess and Go are simply so restrictive.

We need to invent a replacement for both that computers won't dominate.

>>8926684
I second that, I haven't cracked out on a game like this in almost 10 years.

It also helps that it is based on some electrical engineering concepts so it feels like you are doing some kind of "meaningful" work as well as playing.

Why has no one made a strategy game that emulates novel pathogens and the human immune system?

Amazing.

>>8923824
These plus simearth and species:ALRE really. There are a couple of other science related games but these are probably the best.

I first saw this game earlier today and it looked great

Is it really that good? Will I ever leave my house if I buy it?

Dota 2

>>8927758
did he released an alpha or something?

bioshock infinite is the brainlet filter

>>8930313
it's great for the first 20 hours or so, but the game isn't nearly complex enough yet.

>>8924000
It was good at first, but the end game is too long. Even on a small map, when it gets down to the last civ you have these huge fleets and landing parties and you're trying to take so many planets at once in such an open environment, plus all the lag, it was just too unweildy. Never even finished the game even though i had it won. Uninstalled.

>is the creator of this monstrosity still here?
no, he hasn't posted in the general for a while, think its been about a year since I saw him last

>>8924132
Haven't got SHenzen I/O, but TIS-100 looks kinda similar but not with the shiny graphics. It's a fairly forgiving take on assembler style programming, though the puzzles still get pretty tricky. Very minimalist, but pretty engaging if you like that sort of thing

>>8923812
Tiberium Wars.

>>8924139
This. I learnt about pathfinding algorithms, PIDs, intercept algorithms, probabilistic position prediction, and tons more through that game. Not to mention it's the reason I can actually program for shit.

>>8932824
Is it the Battleship game?
