I understand why they didn’t give you the entire list now. SteamWorld games are great, but they’re not really a killer app when you are trying to sell people on cloud gaming.

Wow, they didn't even list GYLT, their one exclusive. That's gotta hurt for those devs.

It can be brutal and tense in a way that I've never seen with a "music" game, but the introduction of new mechanics and overall difficulty curve is very well done. Feels great when you're edge of your seat and suddenly getting through things that looked impossible to you earlier. Strong recommend from me.

Thumper itself might be a good game but playing a rhythm game with extra input lag

The Stadia version of Thumper enlarged all the timing windows to make it playable.

Yeah I tried playing Thumper over my Steam Link (using powerline so not quite as good as ethernet but I'm not hacking my walls apart to run cables) and it was basically unplayable. ^^^ oh okay lol Party Boat fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Apr 11, 2020 |

The correct thing to do would be adding server-side prediction and rollback to the game, but Google didn't spend the money to do that and nobody is going to bother with it for a dead-on-arrival annual bonus scam like Stadia. And the end result would still be bad.

If talking about Epic is banned in this thread could we also extend that Stadia, there are half a dozen threads on this site for people to complain about it already.

Nice, I haven't played it since playing ones later in the series, so I don't know if the gameplay has aged badly, but it's probably got my favorite story and favorite main character.

Free small games of indeterminate quality on Steam: Arcade Moonlander Plus Gravity Wars Transpose (VR required) E: Also Ticket to Ride: First Journey. It's not a great version of TTR, but at least it's free! Stickman fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Apr 12, 2020 |

The only things that don't hold up with AC2 is that it's still got the marionette control scheme and the PC port is simply adequate. Brotherhood was where they both ditched the former and started doing a better job with the latter.

The PC port of AC2 was also fairly controversial due to it requiring a constant internet connection. I dunno if they ever patched it out or what, but if the internet in your area's currently sucking up a storm due to everybody using it to the hilt, it might be worth keeping that in mind.

Is there a way to make Close to the Sun brighter or does it get brighter as the game goes on (reactivating power or something)? I'm only in the chapter 1 docks area but holy poo poo the game is so dark it goes from "foreboding" to "I can't feel the atmosphere because I can't loving see poo poo at all".

Speaking of potentially terrible games, a ton of itch.io devs currently have 100%-off "stay at home" sales. There's a lot of EA and cruft to sort through, but maybe a few gems too? https://isthereanydeal.com/?by=trending:desc#/filter:itchio,&cut/100/100 Stickman fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Apr 12, 2020 |

Shogun 2 (only played FOTS admittedly) is hella good. I mean, I never beat a single campaign, but that's just my history with every Total War game until Warhammer.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey are free to claim on the PS4 store. This doesn't appear to be tied to a PS+ subscription like their usual giveaways, its free for everyone. Germany and China get Knack 2 instead of Uncharted for some reason
