Unlock The King: Cheap, simple puzzler that uses chess pieces and how they‘re allowed to move, but otherwise has nothing in common with actuall chess. Recommended.
Orcs Must Die! 3: Comic-y 3rd person tower defense game (here: traps) that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I was a big fan of OMD2 and thought 3 was their weird pvp game called Unchained or whatever, so this one went completely past me and now I get to play a complete and new (to me) OMD for cheap! Recommended.
Potion Permit: Harvest Moon but you’re making potions instead. The pixel art is absolutely amazing. The game feels a bit too small and has weird technical issues (stutter, sudden increase in CPU load or controller input crapping itself until you restart), but it‘s still fun af. Recommended.
Fields of Mistria: Early Access Harvest Moon clone in Gameboy Color style. It may be Early Access, but it runs smooth, I‘ve experienced zero bugs and after ten hours I‘m not even in my first fall. It‘s already well worth a buy. Recommended.
I‘ve had this in my library for many years (Steam sale pile lol) and also started it recently. I‘m really bad with horror games so I don‘t play it much, but I think the ingame atmosphere held up really well while the cutscenes are super uncanny valley territory. I‘m hoping to 100% it eventually.
Can‘t wait to watch, performance in the demo for me had been abysmal so I was gonna wait for this one a couple years of hardware upgrades anyway
Does this game really need a remaster…? It won‘t cost nothing to make so I‘m confused.
Probably DiRT 2… Overall just did everything right for me, no complaints at all.
It‘s been a while but I remember when I played it way after its release I found it clunky and meh. I guess that‘s to be expected for an (when I played it already) old game. I want more martial arts games though. Especially kung fu games. I also want a new Sleeping Dogs…
Correct me if I’m wrong, the headline implies that Sony‘s putting in an effort to make a PS5 Pro exclusive remaster, which they aren‘t (they would‘ve said so if they were, to sell the damn thing).
It‘s an article reporting on a Reddit discussion where people speculate what the new AI upscaling and possibly frame gen could do to possible backwards compatible titles (whether Bloodborne‘s one of them isn‘t even known lol). Crazy journalism IMO.
That sends me back to when people in online discussions regularly claimed anything above 60 fps is pointless because the human eye can‘t see more than that anyway
I’m sure we can be more open-minded and agree that people can enjoy the core gameplay loops of games which we don‘t personally enjoy without having to be addicted.
I wonder what all the big publishers are pushing now. A Genshin? A Palworld?
Is it known if there is going to be a way to share progression between devices?
The market‘s gotta be nearing saturation with all the competition, no? And XBOX is rumored to wanna jump into it too…
I love the XBOX Lunar Shift controller, it seems like they added a nice rubber coat around the - what do you call these - wings? so it has a very nice feel to it. Sadly, of course, still no hall sticks.
But I also haven‘t really tried a dozen different controllers so I‘m not sure how helpful my opinion is.
That would‘ve startled the bejesus outta me if I had my AirPods in trying to sleep lol
Huh, that actually puts it back on my wishlist. Being patient with game purchases almost always pays off.
Big publishers might as well tell studios to end themselves when they‘re handing out these kinda projects, set up for failure IMO
I think it‘s amazing that we can be like „ok but is this scary or buggy?“ lol
