Superhot looks like an interesting idea, but shooters aren't my thing.

Hotline Miami is hard. Kinda like Nuclear Throne but faster and more brutal.

Nothing really caught my eye this Direct. MAYBE Touryst, but not really. I like Trine, so if Trine 4 is cheap... Blasphemous? Creature in the Well looks neat enough I guess.

The one game that seems like fun is What the Golf? Cause it reminded me of Frolf for some reason.

What's the deal with Ori anyway? That avatar is not very pleasant looking.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I spent $20 each for the Hotline Miamis when they first came out so I guess that's a deal.

I will not get Superhot unless they make a Labo VR port

VR Superhot is an entirely differnt game that requires you to crouch, duck, bend, and lean. It also requires two separate controllers that aren't attached to your face.

I don't think you'll get it.

Touryst is the game I'm going to be absolutely nuts to learn more about for a week before forgetting it exists entirely and then seeing it on the eShop in November and going "ohhh poo poo, that's right" and purchasing it and either being obsessed or profoundly disappointed

That one looks like it'll be extremely good or extremely boring. One of those indie games that you just can't tell until you got it in your hands.

I'll be happy to buy Ori again, it's such a nice game. Northgard seems good too because it looks a lot like early Settlers games but I assume it's going to be disappointing.

SuperHot isn't quite a shooter in the way you think it is; It's more of a puzzle game where you're trying to figure out the optimum path through a sequence of brief encounters without getting hit (one hit == dead and restart the level). Three guys approaching -> Pick up bottle -> throw at Guy1 -> dodge bullet -> grab gun on Guy2 when he comes close enough -> punch Guy2 in face -> shoot Guy3.

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
I know 'Switch Tax' gets overused but that's quite a lot of money for Hotline Miami and it's a shame you can't buy the superior first game separately. I'd wait for a sale on that.

Touryst looks like a fully 3D Fez or something?? Really difficult to figure out exactly what kind of game this is but I like the style.

Metroidvania style platformer. Some parts, especially the escape sequences are pretty difficult. 3 big ability trees, you can find enough of the collectables to fill all 3 out if you want. I personally think the platforming/movement is some of the best in a platformer I've ever played, easily put it up there with the games I listed earlier (Yoshi's Island, Tropical Freeze, Celeste). Plenty of folks here don't agree with me on that though. I think Ori was amazing

It's a heavily movement based metroidvania, mostly entirely linear with some minor backtracking and one large optional area. The game just keeps piling on more and more cool movement abilities as the game goes on and it starts getting pretty wild by the 1/3 mark and doesn't let up. Combat is almost entirely superficial and best just avoided by that point. It's challenging but it's nowhere near Meatboy or Celeste levels of difficult. Fantastic visuals and music and the story is a tear jerker.

There are no combat boss fights, instead there are escape/chase segments that have to be done entirely without getting killed, they're short and fairly tough but some people get frustrated by them (there's an Easy difficulty option now that puts a checkpoint halfway through them even).

I think it's fantastic but it really depends on what you're looking for. Switch port is apparently proper 1080p@60hz docked or 720p handheld so that's perfect.

Superhot is the same price on steam so i grabbed it.

Just played this with a pro controller. It needs more granular options, currently the x and y axis are bound to one slider, so up and down is super responsive and left to right is sluggish. Makes the whole game feel sloppy. Cool game, but will wait for a patch before continuing though.

It's not even very challenging since you manually plop down checkpoints wherever you want so any even slighty harder portion takes 0 seconds to go back to

Yeah there are difficult segments to get through but the game is super generous like that. The escape segments are the only parts you really have to do legit since you can't place checkpoints during them.

It is, yeah. It falls into the same realm as stuff like Guacamelee where it's only kind of superficially a metroidvania because progression is essentially entirely linear other than glitching sequence breaks.
