Fuzz posted:Pssh, real pros launch into command line and run the batch file they created that goes to the directory with cd\ commands and then runs the exe. Back in the day when my 286 with a meg of RAM was top of the line, the solution to limited hard disk space was to put all of my games in a .zip file, and then to have a batch file for each game that would unzip the game to a folder, run the executable, and then when the executable terminated delete the folder entirely.

Places I tend to check for free games. Besides the Steamgifts thread. https://isthereanydeal.com/?by=price:asc#/filter:&pl/windows,&price/0.00/0.00,-itchio I have a -itchio flag on it because I dont like any of the itchio games they have for free all the time. Also the banners at the top of isthereanydeal.com usually list freebies. I also check the freebies tab at https://gg.deals/us/ The Humble store will post freebies occasionally https://www.humblebundle.com/store

Yeah dude that's some wack poo poo. You can easily get to at least 3rd boss before SM puts you to sleep, and even aside from that, Axiom Verge still comfortably ranks below it

Axiom Verge is some dude's really specific and loving weird self-insert fantasy that reads like a completely stupid fanfiction. I mean, it had some novel traversal mechanics and guns, but a lot of it feels like, "hey, this is cool, let's just shove it in there!" Without much other thought or actual design. I mean, the glitch area mechanic alone is such dogshit that I don't even know how people could bother. "Hey, there are glitch areas scattered completely at random around the world and you may have to do one of 3 different things against a completely nondescript section of wall/ceiling/floor and you can get an item to find these areas but it only clues you in by adding really faint scanlines to your health bar, like only that part of the screen is an old CRT. Also you have no idea how many of these areas happened to be in this iteration of the world. YEAH!" Then there's the often really lovely area design, plus the guns which ranged from "holy poo poo this is brokenly good" to "Why the gently caress would I ever use this for any reason." I mean, it's a mediocre Metroidvania at best. For free? Yeah, can't hurt and it has some cool bosses. But it's not actually a good game. Fuzz fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Feb 9, 2019 |

I played and enjoyed Axiom Verge and can confirm that everyone's complaints are 100% accurate, especially the awful grappling hook.

axiom verge came out in the middle of a small competent indie metroidvania dry spell, but there have been much better ones since and definitely better ones before it's still worth a shot for free but go play ori or hollow knight after
