Dungeon Keeper clone?

Have you considered making a Linux virtual machine now, and learning small things a few minutes at a time between other tasks? That ought to give you a head start when it comes time to commit.

Then you purchased a wrong game

Perhaps.

But you’ve made a lot of assumptions in your comment, and you’re mistaken about most of them.

I played the side quests. Many came with a good backstory, but that is not gameplay. Nearly all were copy/paste instances from a small pool of tedious tasks. There were a few memorable exceptions, but very few.

I explored the world, as much as one can “explore” something that is fully labeled with point-of-interest markers. They lead the player to a repetitive handful of uninspired encounters, cloned over and over again.

It has plenty of other flaws as well. If you loved it, then I’m happy for you, but I found the gameplay boring.

The strengths I found in The Witcher 3 were its story, lore, characters, and Gwent. Not its gameplay.

Meanwhile, Gwent is a surprisingly well-designed strategy game. So much so that it ended up spun off into a stand-alone version (although I don’t know how good the spinoff is).

To each their own, I suppose.

An argument could be made that Gwent offers better gameplay than the larger game in which it resides.

Unfortunately, that’s not effective against modern bots, since an LLM can easily solve such puzzles.

It also favors people who script notifications or spend their days on social media in order to hoard game codes, rather than giving people who would actually play the game a fair chance. I don’t know if this has become common on Lemmy yet, but it was very common on Reddit.

In future, I suggest posting the titles of the games, and giving out the codes via private message after a day or two, to randomly chosen people who have replied to the post by then.

When they’re posted publicly like this, or given to the first responder, they tend to be grabbed by bots and resellers.

Survey shows that people who take surveys are okay with giving away information about themselves.

I plan to bound my way to a safer place, like a two-legged gazelle, so that no more than one foot contacts the ground at any time.
