I beat Creature in the Well which was a free Epic game a little while back. It's short (100%ed it in something like 4 hours) which is honestly a big plus point for me these days. Fun little top down hack and slash game crossed with pinball, recommended if you picked it up but haven't tried it yet. I might use that coupon to get the Outer Wilds DLC if it's valid on that

NFT games are dumb as hell but lol if you think Valve is banning them for virtuous reasons, and not because they are stepping on the toes of the Steam Market economy systems Valve is fine with turning games into combination casino / stock markets / money laundering fronts, ala what they've done with TF2 and CS:GO, as long as Valve is the one getting a cut of every transaction

You do have to download and launch the game on EGS once to properly claim it but after that you can uninstall it

Yeah pretty much everything about the game just clicked with me, such a great vibe. And the Ashtray Maze sequence at the end is my favorite 10 minutes of a video game in years. Such a great song and action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGtuQRohHds

timp posted:FWIW that was one of the rare free games posted in this thread that I actually fully beat. It's pretty fun! I also beat Control, really enjoyed that one too. Watch Dogs 2 is, IMO, worth playing just to look at the story and plot beats with a more critical/cynical eye, especially with everything that's come out about Ubisoft after it released.

WD2 is a window into a world of non-violent open-world games. I mean there's still a lot of violence if you want it, but you can play it as a puzzle immersive game. Usually it means going out of your way to play in a most boring way (Dishonored, Deus Ex) but in WD2 it means hacking the planet and playing spy games. I understand WD3 is back to being all about shooting people and it's sad.

You're just limited in what you can use because of the "play as anyone" gimmick which didn't really work. People play lethally in Legion because they can't be bothered to switch to a character with a specific skillset who also has non-lethal options. It's why the DLC papers over the cracks by letting you play as Aiden or Wrench for the entire campaign instead of a random NPC, since they have access to almost all hacks and Wrench's moveset is entirely non-lethal.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Wrench's moveset is entirely non-lethal. Not that it's a terrible idea to have someone with a non-lethal moveset but uh, Wrench was not a character I would expect to have one. I'm guessing Aiden is all lethal cool guy so they needed the contrast?

John Murdoch posted:
Aiden can go non-lethal but he only has two non-lethal weapons as well as his baton, while all of the weapons Wrench can use is non-lethal yeah. It makes sense in the Bloodlines DLC campaign as Aiden is trying to get Wrench to not be like him towards the end. Aiden is a broken old man haunted by the numerous murders he committed and doesn't want Wrench to take the same path in life.

Ahh, okay. That actually sounds surprisingly decent. But I'm also like the one person on earth who cares about Aiden's character arc whatsoever and also Wrench in general so....I guess what I'm saying is that they apparently made that DLC explicitly for me and me alone.

Oh, it sounds nice. My understanding was that every character has access to guns on top of their gimmick so you always have an easy solution to any given problem and might miss other solutions. I should get this game eventually.
