I haven't gotten to play that game yet but it looked eerily similar to another Metroidvania that I did really enjoy, Vigil: The Longest Night.

I would put Ender Lilies below Vigil but still liked it a lot.

ninjewtsu posted:What srpgs are there where the combat is good and fun and don't depend on you tediously engineering every fight around making sure the correct characters get the correct kills so you don't get screwed over by xp distribution? The Shining Force games are way less fiddly than tactics ogre/ogre battle/fft/fire emblem on that front although they're genesis/sega-cd (remakes exist for SF1 on gba, maybe others elsewhere?) and pretty easy overall. Still, they're solid SRPGs that don't really care who you level or how.

What are some good Genesis/SNES/DS/PS1 JRPG/SRPGs to mindlessly grind in? I like to play while watching sports, so story doesn't matter in the slightest, just wanna watch them numbers go up. Edit: that might be a little vague so Etrian Odyssey and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 have been very good for this. loopsheloop fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Aug 27, 2021 |

Disgaea. You can skip the story if you want, and it's basically a grinding simulator.

The main criticism of it is that it is super grindy; you basically have to spend hours and hours doing courier missions for karma and ghoul hunts for money in the early stages of the game and it doesn't let up after for all that hacking makes you way more money.

What are some good games to play with your partner? We already played It Takes Two and loved it. There's a lot of caveats which make finding a game for her pretty challenging. She is not really a gamer beyond hundreds of hours in Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, and the boss battles and some of the platforming in ITT already pushed her limits of what she can achieve with a controller. Still, she has expressed a desire to play another game with me. However, she gets motion sickness very easily from first person games and having to manually control the camera in 3rd person games. Overcooked 2 and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime were too stressful for her to enjoy. She doesn't enjoy losing and/or even feeling inadequate. With that in mind, is A Way Out from the ITT team any good? How is that difficulty-wise? Ideally I think she'd like something chill and/or cute, maybe with a bit of base building thrown in. I already suggested Stardew Valley but on top of everything else, she's allergic to pixel art and couldn't get into it. I don't think she'd be into minecraft either. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is on a lot of lists (and on sale right now). I played the first one ages ago and really liked the tactical combat, but I found the story bad to the point of embarrassing. How's the second one in that regard? If you have any other ideas, please let me know, thanks! We have all platforms covered between switch, ps4 and pc.

D:OS2 has a kinda whatever main story but very entertaining character and NPC interactions. I think you have to be tuned into Larian's particular sense of humor though, like do you find convincing a dog about the futility of life to be needlessly cruel or wickedly funny.

Are you suggesting that your girlfriend play D:OS 2 alone or kind of play it together with you? Either way, not sure it's the best choice but her playing it alone seems totally doomed to me. I'm a little unclear at whether you are looking for pure co-op games or something that she can play herself.

While Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 has the same sort of frantic gameplay that Overcooked does, you can't lose. You just don't make as much money. Might be worth a shot. It also allows you to focus on only tasks you're good at or want to do, if thats something that would appeal better. Like if one of you doesn't like making a certain food, you can leave that to your partner entirely, or just change up the menu

So yeah, co-op games is what I'm looking for. I think we're going to try A Way Out for now and see how it goes. (Divinity OS2 was rejected after she looked at gameplay footage and deemed it to "game-y")

Oenis posted:What are some good games to play with your partner? We already played It Takes Two and loved it. Very Very Valet is couch chaos like overcooked, but easier and with almost no reliance on planning. Phogs is available on gamepass if you have it Moving Out is probably too stressful like overcooked, but might be worth looking into, especially after y'all get more experience. Snipperclips and Heave Ho should be fine for a while, but eventually they get pretty hard. Biped might be too game-y Human Fall Flat and Good Job! are both coop games that don't need cooperation.

Oenis posted:What are some good games to play with your partner? We already played It Takes Two and loved it. We've had good success doing Telltale games together. My wife makes all the decisions and I use the controller and do QTEs when they come up. She's really into wolves as a concept so Wolf Among Us was an easy sell and she was already a huge Walking Dead fan. I had to really push to get her to try Tales from the Borderlands but after about 10 minutes she started loving it. We'll probably do Batman next. We also really like Diablo 3 on Switch. Neither of us are real big on the whole min-max endgame loot grind stuff but it's great for just chilling and mindlessly murdering things for an evening.

Spiritfarer is a chill platforming and base building game where you are a woman and her cat controlling death’s boat that is used to ferry souls. You do missions on islands to find supplies to build a perfect boat for spirits you find, based on their preferences.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:From the same post you quoted: On that note, I've been meaning to make this post and just never did... For long-time gamers, are there any good suggestions for 2-player co-op that won't leave one player feeling left behind? My game partner and I play a lot of shooters/roguelikes and some MMO stuff, but it always ends up with one of us well ahead of the other, usually with me well behind, and I'm trying to figure out something that won't leave those inadequacy feelings going. No particular order of what we already play or have played, to give ideas:
I'm not very good at shooters or other "fine motor control and reflexes needed" games, but I play them anyway so that's not a disqualifier. I don't own a controller (she does) and both of us are on PC. Something a bit slower and gentler would be nice.

Check out Valheim. It's a very serene and chill game about building a viking fort and gradually increasing your gear and tech level to tackle tougher monsters. There is also the new Aliens l4d style game, and Back4Blood soon

Revisiting Vermintide but I'd like more than one game to go to. check out deep rock galactic also maybe consider the we were here series? the master chief collection is some good halo multiplayer. if someone dies the other person needs to just run backwards until the respawn happens, as long as you don't both die at the same time you can mess around pretty good

If you can get it for cheap, Satellite Reign is an interesting multiplayer game in my opinion. Beatemups in general are also great because they are usually one-shot affairs that can have progression, but even when they do, one player doesn't end up dominating. There are tons of older games that can be picked up for cheap, or you can play them on Fightcade (I recommend this), so you can just sorta mill through a bunch of them without having to worry about cost. Beatemup-adjacent games like Metal Slug are also a blast. There are newer ones like Streets of Rage 4, or you can go back and play classics like Shadow Over Mystara. I find they're great if you want to avoid quarterbacking, which can happen a lot in games like Unraveled 2 where it's puzzle-based and one person can end up really putting forth all the puzzle solutions.

Nth-ing Deep Rock, I haven't gotten my wife to play it, but it's been a blast with friends. Since you can decide the difficulty level for the missions, it's only as hectic as you want it to be, and with the mining and other support like the engineer's turret there's still plenty to do even if you're not the best shot. Raft co-op is fun, but a bit stressful on the higher difficulties, at least in the beginning.

Oh, also I think someone might've already mentioned Brothers. But: Brothers!!. Great co-op game, great game period, relaxed gameplay, and a lovely little story. Also Toodee and Topdee has a nice co-op mode and is a puzzle game that still requires some quick movement at times. And Mighty Goose is a side scrolling retro action game (that is awesome, by the way) where a second player can control the invulnerable helper character which is good for if one person is a bit more skilled and/or into video games than another.

If you're looking for a good coop game, I've played a ton of ARK: Survival Evolved solo and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It should be even better in coop. Your damage output is primarily gear-based, and almost all gear is crafted, and all goods are held in common, so as long as you make 2 pistols, 2 sets of armor, etc, no one should feel like they're behind the power curve.

I’m looking for a good Stardew Valley style game with an emphasis on cooking. For instance, I’ve been keeping my eye on https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647190/World_End_Diner/ I like the idea of automating a food empire, creating meat and veg via automated means to create meals to sell. If anyone has good suggestions I’d love to hear em.
