Squeenix just announced a PC (and Playstation) port of their wonderful mobile game Hitman GO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g-xSA9hlb8 If you never played it on mobile, it's a turn-based Hitman-themed puzzler where the visuals have been abstracted down to miniature board game pieces being slid around intricate little diorama sets. It's really slick looking. It'll be out on Feb 23rd, cost eight bucks, and will include both the "classic mission" DLC packs from the mobile game (Paris Opera and St. Petersburg Stakeout) and all the usual Steam amenities like achievements, trading cards and cloud saves. Hopefully Lara Croft GO also gets a port. The whole GO series of games is great. Though I wonder if it'll lose something when played at a desk instead of while waiting for the train...

As much as I loved both Hitman GO and Lara Croft GO - I feel like they're too easy for a dedicated desktop puzzle game. There are quite a lot of difficult PC puzzle games though so it's not like that will really matter.

I forgot how brutal the last Luftrausers challenges are. Kill 3 blimps in one life? Ouch. e: Also it really sucks losing your max combo because it stops spawning enemies that aren't battleships.

RBA Starblade posted:I forgot how brutal the last Luftrausers challenges are. Kill 3 blimps in one life? Ouch. I kind of lost interest in Luftrausers near the end because the challenges go from interesting to tedious. It's an awesome game up until that point but it never really hit that "just a little more and I can get that" spot and instead I just wanted to go play something else once it got beyond a certain point.

I got waylaid by family yesterday, so you get two reviews today. Fitting, because you can only buy these two together. PLATFORMEBRUARY 2016 1. Cargo Commander 2. Freedom Planet 3. Capsized 4. Knytt Underground 5. Rochard 6. NightSky 7. Canyon Capers 8. Intrusion 2 9. Mutant Mudds Deluxe 10. Teslagrad 11. Tiny Barbarian DX 12. Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken 13. Snapshot 14. Lunnye Devitsy    I am the biggest sucker for exploration games. By that I mean I will play anything that gives me a wide open world to explore, and doesn't make it too onerous to explore. Platformers usually do exploration the metroidvania route, but there are a few quality indie games that just let you run freely around their world. Lunnye Devitsy is one of those. The only story you're going to get is that you're a tiny alien who fell off his tiny planet and onto a great big mountain. You want to get home, and as it turns out there are six ways to do that, but you have to find them and piece together a few puzzles to make them work. Some are as simple as jumping on a springboard, some are as complex as building a rocket, and some defy any sort of logic whatsoever. You can run and you can jump, and that's all you need to unlock Lunnye Devitsy's secrets. The running takes a little getting used to, since you have to build up momentum before you can really get going, but there's plenty of space to practice your sprinting. You also can't die here, which takes any possible edge off the game. Anything that looks lethal most assuredly is not, and falling off the screen just wraps you around to the other side. It's not hard to sink a few hours into this one trying to divine its secrets, but without any sort of character progression, collectibles, or story, it's also not hard to get bored quickly. I certainly appreciate it for its stark, otherworldly atmosphere and simple exploration, but not enough to suss out all the endings. Still, I'd say it's worth a look, especially if you're a fan of games like Knytt. 15. Wake    I hate seeing a good concept go to waste. Wake certainly has a good one, placing you in the soggy workboots of an engineer on a sinking ship. Starting in the bowels of the hull, you must find your way topside before the ship fills with water. Along the way you'll find keys to open doors, fire axes to bash down less sturdy doors, flashlights and flares, and bits of meteor that apparently started this whole mess. Another survivor pesters you over the radio, but I have no idea what his deal is and he doesn't really add anything to the game. It's a good concept to be sure, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. The rooms of the ship are huge and sprawling, with extremely contrived platforming challenges to overcome like floating platforms and crate mazes. There are tons of dead-ends, which wouldn't be so bad if the map were clearer or if they didn't come at the end of an arduous hallway spanning half the ship. You're also bound to reach jumps you can't make, even with the touchy climbing controls, which leaves you waiting for the water level to rise so you can swim up through the passage. The water rises at a glacial pace, though, so I actually resorted to killing myself which catches the water level up to you instantly. Wake really fails the first measure of a good platformer, having reliable control over your character. You sprint at inconsistent speeds, you sometimes have air control and sometimes don't, and some jumps can be rendered impossible by the angles the ship lists at. Add some over-processed, blurry pixel graphics and a mysterious story that's never resolved (or is resolved at higher difficulties, which you won't play) and you have a real mess on your hands. I love the idea of escaping a sinking ship via skillful platforming, but I guess I'll have to keep waiting for someone to do it well.

I'm that dumbass that couldn't figure out why Resident Evil 4 aiming was sluggish and I tried it again yesterday and it was perfectly playable and smooth as hell. I figure it might have just been lagging on my steam link or something because it was definitely unplayable when I tried it a couples months back. Anyway is there a Steam Link / steam hardware thread because every once in a while I have weird issues and don't want to bother you fine people here. Like I can't get DMC to launch when it's streaming, so I open it from my computer then turn on the link? Why??

Yeah, it's arenas, but the weapons are so satisfying and levels so gorgeous you won't really mind. Palpek posted:I don't see Metro: Last Light or Hard Reset on that fps list.

It's a lot better, they clearly learned a lot. And you should give Shadow Warrior a chance! Quest For Glory II posted:This reminds me that I do have Saints Row 3 to play although I'm not sure that shooting is something it's particularly great at so much as just being a crazy zany game with wacky weapons, I should give it a try though I can see why you'd think that, but it's actually pretty solid.

I got to the industrial area in Shadow Warrior and stopped because I had gotten tired of every level looking so samey and I'm worried that this new area will be no different. The length of the game and the individual levels themselves are pretty exhausting

Quest For Glory II posted:While I wasn't thrilled by the Necro demo I could try it for $3, plus that Sniper game looks kind of decent (apparently you also have a pistol??) I liked the first Necrovision, it has an interesting combat system and the story is insane. You start in the World War I, you fight German soldiers, zombies, hell hounds, demons, vampires, a giant crab tank also you can pilot a vampire-made robotic exosuit and ride a dragon. For $3 I would say it's definitely worth it.

Quest For Glory II posted:The day I always feared has come, I'm nearly out of single person shooters to play Prey is really fun and is also not for sale on Steam - however retail copies are cheap and the key is Steam redeemable. It's a bit like Doom 3 but personally I really enjoyed a lot of the craziness - it did portals before Portal, and also has an incredibly hosed up boss fight later in the game. Wolfenstein 2009 is great fun but you'll have to buy a CD copy as Steam delisted it about 3 years ago and marketplace copies go for absurd prices. I preferred it to the more recent New Order, mainly because it feels like more of a retro FPS and it has some pretty cool underground Nazi base levels. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is also really fun but has a terrible stealth level you may want to cheat through. If you're not averse to (much) older games, there are a load of cool 2.5d (sprite based) shooters that play really well with modern source ports like gzDoom - specifically, Doom I & II, Heretic, Hexen, and Strife (which also comes with its own updated version). Doom 2 has thousands of awesome levels and mods, and while some people hate the fact it exists, you may enjoy plugging in Brutal Doom which adds a lot of extra fireworks and gore. Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri looks like garbage (1996 voxel technology for you) but is still really fun and kinda unique. It's a precursor to the Delta Force games in a way, but you have a cool spacesuit that lets you jump super high and lasers at people. Really worth a shot if you can get past the dated production values. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series has some really cool titles in there - personally I think 3 is the best one, but then again I can't play Vegas on my machine as it crashes at startup. Regardless, they're really cool tactical shooters (i.e. one shot and you're dead - same goes for your enemies!) and have a really tense and satisfying atmosphere. The Star Wars: Dark Forces: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: too many titles games are super fun, albeit with some frustrating moments. You get to run around with a lightsaber and dismember storm troopers and use cool force powers in some really fun and well designed levels (until you get to Nar Shadaar I guess, that level is garbage of the worst order). Be wary of Dark Forces 2 on Steam though as it's missing the soundtrack and has a tonne of compatibility issues - the Gog version is much better. STALKER 1 and 3 are super fun and atmospheric, although you want the COMPLETE mod for the first one to fix a load of terrible bugs. Really highly recommended, a bit like Fallout 3's unhinged russian uncle that want you to drink his weird smelling vodka and go rambling in the middle of the night.

Accordion Man posted:As a headsup though, its a game more focused on melee weapons then guns. Guns control fine, but they are harder to find and attract runner zombies with the noise. The guns are very situational. I use them a lot, but they're more for pushing through a big wad of zombies than trying to clear out an area so you can loot it. That's what drop kicks are for.

It has a really dark and oppressive atmosphere that hasn't really been matched since. Like I say though, the COMPLETE mod is essential. CoP is fun but I think playing it first would spoil your experience of the first one.
