Dungeon of the Endless is great if the idea of a roguelike tower defense game interests you. It's real good. Steamworld Heist was also solid for a playthrough.

Dicey Dungeons, Steamworld Heist, Dungeon of the Endless are all good. NEO Scavenger went beyond that to be one of my favorite games of whatever year it came out.

The free copy of Surviving Mars that Humble was giving out a while back has got me interested in playing city builders again, anybody got words on what's good in the genre right now? I've mainly been looking at Per Aspera Anno 2070/2205 Worker's & Resources: Soviet Republic (EA) Industries of Titan (EA, have heard it's still on the barebones side) I've already got Skylines and the old Impressions games and so on. Surviving Mars was pretty fun early but it feels like once you get the basic production loops going it's mostly smooth sailing unless you get a rare random event.

Neo Scavenger is one of the best survival games but it's kinda hard to get into. Also, it's coded in Flash.

Hard West's combat is kind of broken and the campaign map is half-baked, but it's stylish as hell and definitely worth getting now that it's only $1 on Fanatical (in the Summer Bundle).

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Any strong opinions on Nier Replicant? I liked Automata but mostly for the weird story, the combat was just kind of okay. how well did you tolerate having to replay a significant portion of the game as 9S, because replicant is way way worse about making you replay stuff & doesn't even give you a new character for it or change things up anywhere near as much, it gets very tedious. there are very clear reasons why it was just a polarising cult classic originally & not the huge hit that automata was, and you get to see a lot of the things that automata did, just done worse with less of a budget. the only thing that there's a reasonable argument that it does better than automata is some of the characters are more emotionally compelling (but i didn't really feel that way), and in terms of the plot & how it presents itself, it was a little novel for its time but doesn't really push things anywhere near as far as automata either

Don't play it too long that you can't return it if you're not sure at first. This one sounds like it should appeal to me, and I was coached through playing it, and I was just cocking my head like... this is it? This is the gameplay? I suspect that even the people who enjoy it wouldn't use "fun" as the first word to describe it. I'm not saying that it's one of these super obtuse or complex games, cause it's not that either.

There is alot of spinning plates involved and some of the mechanics, such as power management, are frustrating rather than interesting.

From what I recall, most of the variety comes from using the different unlockable characters, not unlike FTL’s ships. It’s a decent roguelike with a nice aesthetic, just don’t expect it to be a forever game like DCSS, TOME or Hades.

Jack the Ripper is maybe second best Sherlock Holmes game (bit janky, though) Bureau was passable, IMO not worth it, but some people seem to like it. I didn't like DotE at all.

I loved dungeon of the endless. A bit of a longer run based roguelike/lite/whatever, real time with pause, a bit of tower defense, it's a fun mashup and plays well. The design and music is also pretty good imo. I played it for like 50 hours, well worth the price.

Bureau is bad, don't bother. It has a passable twist towards the end, that's probably the most interesting thing to be said for it.

Communist Bear posted:Industries of Titan is very fleshed out now, but i'm not sure if I really enjoy it. There is alot of spinning plates involved and some of the mechanics, such as power management, are frustrating rather than interesting. Yeah. The gimmick of being able to design your own buildings is pretty cool at first, but after a while it ends up a bit superfluous once you figured out your favourite layouts for a given purpose. When I just need some extra power I'd like to be able to just plop down a power building, and not have to build a new factory (floor), wait for it to finish, then fill it up with various generators and fuel fabricators. The game really needs a "copy current floor layout functionality, and it's weird that it doesn't seem to have one at this stage. Now, it does have some dedicated buildings for power generation etc. available as well, but those are locked behind a fairly lengthy grind. Clearly the idea is for you to make do with self-made buildings until you're too rich to have to care about such things, but currently that's kind of a pain.

I’ve never been able to get into tower defense stuff, but I had a blast with DotE. It’s a steal for that price.

Bureau is a pretty solid third person shooter but you can see the stitching in the script from the old versions of it and the ai will literally sit and do nothing if you ever stop ordering it around

I found it in the forum archives, though not the public LP Archive site.  Amusingly, the OP mentioned they would try and get it in LP Archive on that thread's final post, and the author is still around, so maybe it can still be preserved there.

Xeras posted:Most FPS and third person shooters play very similarly to me, sorry. This fundamentally doesn't make sense to me sorry. Third person shooters give you far more spatial awareness since you can rotate the camera around your character. In an FPS if your character isn't looking at something, you can't see it. That one thing completely changes how you play each type of game

Thanks for weighing in, I should probably just wait till it gets cheaper. Any other recent story driven 3rd person arpg type stuff that'd you'd recommend? I've already played Horizon, Death Stranding, rear end Creeds, Yakuza...
