deep dish peat moss posted:Can anyone recommend a mechanically-deep strategy, RPG or action game released in the last 1-2 years that would run on a laptop with integrated graphics? Unfortunately the creator is one of those weird libertarian types who insists on pricing it really highly even though it's like 12 years old (insert joke about libertarians thinking 12 year olds are highly desirable)

I feel like there should be a game like this, and I think I know there isn't a game like this, but I'll ask anyways. Are there any decent open world superhero games, even if only multiplayer? Something where I can jump around crushing cars as The Hulk or fly around like Superman. I know there's the Spiderman games, I know City of Heroes was a thing, but anything modern and not Spiderman only? PC preferred, could be talked into signing up for some streaming service. Thanks video game goons!

City of Heroes is still a thing, actually! But probably not quite what you're looking for. The Prototype games or Saints Row 4? I guess the question is how modern do you mean. There's that Avengers game coming out eventually.

Prototype was built off of the engine of the best Hulk game ever made, so jumping around as Alex Mercer is basically like jumping around as the Hulk. If you want to play just the Hulk game, you'd need to go looking for Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, which I don't think ever came out for modern systems. There's also the Arkham games, which are the most well-received superhero games in a long while, and they have Batman gliding around the city. There's also the Crackdown games, which do a similar thing with jumping, but also have more traditional gunplay along with jumping and punching, and the Infamous series which I don't remember what they did for locomotion. I think there was rail grinding? I don't know of any superhero games where there's just plain flight, but I think the closest is Just Cause 3 and 4, which aren't superhero games, but the whole wingsuit + jetpack thing is pretty great. And if you want a more recent superhero MMO, I think DC Universe Online is the big thing that's a successor to City of Heroes but also still supported.

You could rip a car in half and use it as boxing gloves. You could knock a helicopter out of the sky by clapping your hands. You climbed buildings by just running up them with impossible gravity. It was loving GREAT.

Left-field suggestion because it's not technically co-op, but Return of the Obra Dinn was an absolute joy to play through with my SO. Narrative-based puzzle game where most content is figuring out people's identities through visual clues, so there's a lot of talking about what's on the screen and trying to figure out if person X is a sailor or an officer based on their uniform etc. Only one person has the controller as it's a single player, but all the inputs you can decide on collectively, so it doesn't really matter that much who's pushing the buttons. It is a really cool game.

What's cool in puzzle games in the past year or so? My working from home has spots of downtime where I can't really leave my desk so I've been filling it with a bunch of Hexcells Infinite and sudoku. It's usually <10 minutes at a time so I'm after something I can pick up and put down fairly easily without having to track too many clues or narrative stuff from previous sessions.

I enjoyed Golf Peaks, 10 minutes should allow you to solve a few puzzles each session. It probably won't have too much staying power though unfortunately, I finished it all in about 3-4 hours.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I played Saints Row 4 and am aware of Prototype, not exactly what I was looking for and both a little dated. Megaton Rainfall looks wacky, may check that out. The Lego games were a creative suggestion, may give them a shot. I guess what I'm really waiting for is the Avenger's game, which seems set to release the end of this year. Thanks again.

If you're into Picross/nonogram games, Depixtion came out recently. The images are full color and you solve three individual puzzles in red/blue/yellow that combine to solve it.

One of your powersets is big ol' fists and I am fairly certain they just ripped the moveset from the Hulk games (which they also made), you even do the car boxing gloves

I'm looking for a decent SRPG/RPG to play that'll run on my 2016 Macbook w/ Iris 550 graphics. I just finished replaying Fell Seal and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd also like the game to be aesthetically pleasing, so pixelart messes like Voidspire Tactics are out-- and no roguelikes.

Wildermyth, Druidstone, Banner Saga all have good graphics and a SRPG core.

I've started watching this YouTuber: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9rHppZYLCQ) He cracks some hard-rear end Sudoku puzzles, and now I'm craving something like it. I feel like I've played every puzzle game in existence, or, at least the ones that people know about. If I'm limiting it to Steam, Switch, and iOS I've played: You Must Build a Boat and the like All the Jigsaw games Crosscells Cross Set Demoncrawl Squarelogic Freecell Quest Glass Masquerades Globesweeper The Hexcells The RPG Picrosses on the Switch The Puzzle Quests Hungry Cat Picross Infinifactory That puzzle game with the moving machinery and the elements that I can't quite think of.... There are countless more, but you get it. Really, I feel like I've played any puzzle games ever recommended because I love them. I don't want RPG elements, animations, or anything cutesy. Something along the lines of Squarelogic or the Hexcells series would be wonderful. I'm just looking for good, quality logic puzzles. Does anyone have anything?

Similar to Surviving Mars, there's Planetbase. Same deal, building domed colonies. Planetbase is wider (more locations than just mars) but shallower (less overall stuff regardless of location) by comparison.

I know you said PC preferred, but if you have a PS4, Gravity Rush 2 is pretty neat. You control the direction of gravity for your character and the world has a distinctly Ghibli flavor to it. I found that it kind of wears out its welcome by the time it's over but I had a good time with it, and the locomotion makes traversing the world engaging and interesting.

PathPix Lite is a free version of the first game, if you like it I'd suggest PathPix Pro as a good introduction to the series.

Startopia you build up a space station, and it's an old and cheap game. Oxygen Not Included you build up a base full of people, but it's more about engineering. Anno 2070 involves moonbases. Frostpunk is all about survival in a similar way to Banished, but it's only sci-fi if you think steampunk is sci fi. It's got giant steampowered robots though.

Alien planet with alien life that may or may not be hostile or beneficial, that kind of thing. I'm looking at Surviving Mars and possibly Aven Colony, though the reviews on the latter are a bit concerning. Wish there was a good demo I could try out.

Rimworld, it's distinctly sci-fi and has a phenomenal mod scene that lets you turn it into whatever you want (Want to run a cthulhu cult made up of imperial storm troopers? Halo Spartans under constant assault by drow? a powerful necromancer raiding tribal villages for fresh undead recruits? how about a bird sanctuary on an island run by three Terminators with some uhh, computational difficulties and the Simple-Minded perk?) Caveat: While city/settlement building is what it's all about (and it's great at that) it's mostly focused on developing personal stories for your colonists (it's great at that too), this involves lots of instances of tragedy befalling your poor settlement

Having to build a city in an alien ecosystem like Alpha Centauri seems like a pretty cool idea, but I don't think any game has really done that. I guess Oxygen Not Included might be a little like that.
