Quick question, is Hollow Knight just a ripoff of Shovel Knight? Another quick question, is Shovel Knight cheaper and should I pick that up instead?

Has anybody played Sorcery! on both Android and PC? I am wondering if they are better played on the phone or the PC.

Junior Jr. posted:Quick question, is Hollow Knight just a ripoff of Shovel Knight? Hollow Knight is cheaper @ $10 and it's real good. It's more of a beautiful (and sad) metroidvania and easily top 3. Must have Shovel Knight is real good too but it's more like an NES action-platformer while actually looking drat good. It's $20 for the Treasure Trove (worth it imo) edition but I feel HK was the most standout mind-blowingly good game in terms of something that I'll fondly remember many years later. e: In case it wasn't clear, get both. Very different games and both excellent. If you're scrounging for dimes in the couch right now, just get HK and get SK some other sale.

PantsBandit posted:Meant to post this here and accidentally posted it in the general thread. Whoops! I really enjoyed co-op GR:Wildlands with a friend. We sank over 100 hours into it on max difficulty pretending to be sneaky elite soldiers (plus a bit of messing around in the open world). We found the core gameplay loop pretty hypnotic. That said, the reviews were mixed and it is much less engaging if you're playing solo. I paid full price and don't regret it at all but YMMV.

veedubfreak posted:Just curious but what was being abused by refunds that made them take it out? I mean I'm perfectly fine with not having to be online at the right moment to get a game for it's lowest price. It was notoriously common for people to buy games early in the sale for the sale-long price, then get angry that they could have saved 6 extra dollars if they waited until the game became a daily/flash. When they added refunds a couple of years ago, I think they just anticipated that this would lead to tons and tons of refunds. As a previous poster said, it seems like it would have been trivial to prevent rebuying a game you just refunded or block refunds entirely for discounted games, but I'm not Valve. Hopper posted:Weird there are several games I would have sworn have been cheaper before... It's not weird. A lot of publishers are cool with their game being 75-90% off for 1 day/8 hours, but not 2 weeks. Which is why a lot of us are grumbling.

This isn't exactly related to the Steam sale, but if you're adding games to your cart and budgeting like me, it's worth noting: The Diablo 3 Necromancer DLC comes out next week for $15. I had no clue.

I will say that I really like the Steam Discovery Queue. I've been wanting to find more and more cool, weirder indy stuff you don't really hear about unless it's something truly special. And that thing does help.

Samuringa posted:•Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book - I've always wanted to play an Atelier game but I've heard some of them have very strict time limits or are just plain unfun. I got high tolerance to anime so that's not a problem here. Of all the games on this list this is the one I'm the most wary. Good news: Atelier Sophie and Firis don't have the time management mechanics (Sophie has one missable event you have to do before the final boss and it's pretty obvious.) They're far from the best of the series but they're fun enough.

I sort of like roguelikes (Shiren the wanderer on the DS for example) for the occasional play and was thinking of getting Swords of the Stars The Pit. I am confused however, there is a gold edition and a bundle that has the gold edition and more dlc. Which one should I get? And what other good roguelikes are there? (I prefer good graphics, nothing with Ascii code like minimalist stuff, that's just not appealing to me)

I heartily recommend Prey. It's not flawless, but probably my favorite game of the last few years because of what it does do right. Here's a recommendation I wrote in another thread Why Play Prey? Because of:
The game gives you some tools of interaction and invites you to take on its world as you choose. And that promise feels far more genuine than most games in recent memory." Btw, enemies don't respawn until you leave a part of the space station, where you'll usually spend a few hours before moving on. And they don't respawn automatically; usually you'll have to move the plot forward for that to occur (later things get more hectic). Dr. Angela Ziegler posted:Can I play Prey on easy so I can actually beat the game and enjoy it? Difficult games make no sense to me, no other media/art in the world does that. There's no "you can't look at the bottom half of the Mona Lisa until you beat this nearby ring-toss carnival game" I think so. It's got a lot of quieter moments -- think Gone Home -- and you can set the pace yourself. Some people like dealing with most of the enemies first before setting out exploring every nook and cranny of each level (which the game rewards, sometimes materially sometimes sentimentally). One of the reasons I really liked this game is that enemies are more of a deterrent that make you think about how you manage your resources rather than the object of fun.

kazil posted:I really love the Myst series and have many fond memories. Is Obduction at $20 at all worth it? Obduction is totally in the vein of myst in that it is an extremely unique setting that you will get more out of if you pay attention and draw conclusions from the environment. It has two flaws that will make or break the game for you though. The biggest one is the movement speed is slow, and there are some early puzzles that require you to run around a big area, and it can be painful, especially if you're not sure how the puzzle works and you're still experimenting with it. The second is there is a late game puzzle that requires you to understand a system that you saw earlier in the game, but you no longer can go back and look at. If you've kept multiple saves or good notes this won't be a problem, but if you haven't it will end your run. I thought the plot wasn't quite as good as the Myst series, but that could well be nostalgia, so take it for what it's worth. You won't be interacting with characters much, just like Myst.
