I very much enjoyed SUPERHOT but I was expecting more from it.

Blade of agony is absurdly polished. its got like five times too many "levels based on gray corridors" for my taste, but its absurd how lengthy it is and how the quality largely stays so strong.

Definitely up there was the best TCs (although at this point, its closer to its whole drat game)

The recent sequel they released MIND CONTROL DELETE does a lot to expand upon SUPERHOT without compromising the core simplicity of the game

i will still hold that the shadow warrior 2 reboot game is great if you just mostly ignore the unneeded stat gem system and also the fact that the story progression is dogshit

I agree. I won’t begrudge anybody for being really disappointed with it based on expectations, but I ended up putting ~100 hours into the stupid thing over the last few years and definitely enjoyed the experience.

It’s a very flawed game, but I always stress that you should only pay attention to the gems and tweaking weapons/gear in the hub—not while running through levels...and even then, try to avoid getting to lost in the micromanagement.

Most of the upgrades are so minor, so pathetically granular, and so abundant that they completely stall the game’s flow if you stop to examine them every time you find some.

I pretty much only gemmed to have certain elemental effects on certain weapons for utility and enjoyed the shooting more than in SW2013 where weapons were underwhelming and the best way to play was 90% of the time with the sword and powers instead of using guns (even after the buffs to them). You can gem a minigun to get ammo back on hit, making it never run out of ammo and shotguns felt meaty. Also having double jump and dashes made fun moving around the maps.

The reboot was fantastic, it's a shame they never made any more.

I've never really been able to get into Quake.

It's my favourite game of all time. It is technically brilliant, and has a lasting effect on games today.

If I'm totally honest? No.

I had a blast playing it because Doom is my favorite "FPS" and I hadn't been able to enjoy gameplay reminiscent of it in ages. Also the art style, voice acting, and everything else about the game's style really got me sucked into it. But even in my first playthrough I could tell there wasn't a ton of variety in how it plays out. There can be, but the game has a real problem with ship distribution and forcing you into really similar layouts on a regular basis. I feel like the core gameplay of the game is great but it needs to more meat to it to differentiate all the missions you do.

I do recommend it though, I'm just aware that I got waaaaaay more enjoyment out of it than most people will because it scratched a lot of itches for me. I heard they are planning to update the game with more content, additional ship layouts being one of them, so maybe wait to buy it after that update.

Really old post, but I was looking for opinions re: Void Bastards, since it was on my radar and it's currently 60% off on Steam, did this promised update ever happen? Looks like there's some sort of DLC, and it's $20 atm for the full package.

The DLC is definitely worth getting if you're gonna play but even then, the game doesn't have as much longevity as it should. This may not be a bad thing for you and I think it's worth picking up on sale if the game interests you.

The criticism of Void Bastards isn't that it's bad, it's just that the systems aren't deep enough to justify its grindy play length.

If you can get it cheap there's nothing wrong with that and there's some fun to be had with it.

Yeah play it, get 15 or 20 hours out of it, and then move on. Sometimes people think that, as a Roguelite, it has significant replayability and longevity, but most people agree that that’s not the case with Void Bastards. Nothing wrong with that.

I liked SW2's underlying combat model more that Doom16's, even if I knew it wasn't as good otherwise. Of course then Doom Eternal blew both of them out the water, but I'm still greatly looking forward to SW3.

Looking good. I wonder how big will be the scope of the game,and therefore how long until is released. GS2 was one the biggest TCs.

It was a bit too long, the last two worlds felt like more of the same but with a different texture set. I still think it's a great achievement.

My goodness that Painkiller mod looks very polished and fun. The best Painkiller-related thing since Battle out of Hell. I imagine there were attempts at trying to implement the arsenal in a mod but nothing that comes close to what the modder's doing here. (And no, I'm not including Aeons of Death in that statement because that's a big ol' jambalaya of WTF.)

When someone gets Doom running on a dying human brain, displayed in the pupils of a glazed-over 1000 yard stare with At Doom's Gate playing through the low vibrations of a guttural death rattle, i'll still be disappointed that they couldn't pull it off without a raspberry pi.

This is just using the display though, I think the game is running on a separate machine that's been wired up.

It's not even using the original display, the display was one of those basic LCD screens that can only show a few premade images. The only original part is the casing
