We forgot the SteamWorld series! All of them are cheap, fun and charming as hell. SteamWorld Dig: 2D exploration game in the style of Motherload SteamWorld Dig 2: more of the same, but bigger with more metroidvania elements SteamWorld Heist: 2d turn based strategy xcom style SteamWorld Quest: Deck building RPG flavor.flv fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Dec 18, 2021 |

Steamworld Dig 1 is a fun little game that you can easily beat in a day and worth checking out, but Dig 2 improves on everything massively and is an all time classic indie game imo, I can't recommend it highly enough

I'd almost say 1 is bad, especially compared to 2. I can only really recommend 1 if you loved 2 and want to see what its skeleton looked like.

Nah, 1 is good but it's pretty much a demo. If you do intend on playing it you need to do it before 2, it's hard to go back without the right mindset.

I actually was only able to enjoy 1 after I'd played 2 because 2 helped me "get" it so I could appreciate what 1 had been going for even though it wasn't as good.

I played 1 first because it was cheap as all gently caress and I wanted to see what all the hype was Then I played every Steamworld game almost back to back So yeah, it's good (also plot relevant to 2 if you care about that, not that there's much plot)

I bought Monster Sanctuary on thread recommendations. I’m excited to check it out. It’s been on my wishlist for awhile but I never really looked into it very much. Here goes!

There's a part in Dig 2 where you end up in the final area from Dig 1, and it's a really cool moment doesn't land if you haven't played the first one

Lastdancer posted:Posting to remind myself to go back to this page when I get home and put everyone's recommendations into the OP. I wanna like pro post the whole page, lots of good stuff. I saw this, took a peek at my library and realized no one ever talks about/recommends Bayonetta 2 -- possibly the best action ever made -- so I'll go ahead and throw my hat in for that. Did everyone Platinum the game when I wasn't looking? The first Bayonetta is also very, very good, but I feel like the sequel improves on almost everything so it's kind of hard to go back for me. Definitely worth a quick playthrough, though, especially if you want the plot to make any sense at all (you might not).

sequel has fewer aggravating minigames but is significantly diminished by nagging, intrusive companion characters, including possibly the single worst character in platinum history final boss is also much much worse in terms of spectacle

To be honest, I don't think the first's final boss can be topped by anything. The rest is fair, though.

People were like "The switch will have no games" as if you need more then Smash Ultimate and Breath of the Wild??? and odyssey I gues. And then they dropped Dread, SMT IV, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter Rise all just like solid 10/10 games.

Sometimes I'm genuinely curious how some of you go through games so quickly. I still have an unplayed copy of Baten Kaitos 2 somewhere I keep meaning to get to.

Ok, I actually work a ton, but I still have a lot of free time. Essentially its 6 weeks of giving it my all, hardly touching my Switch aside from a bit before I go to bed to binging hard during 2 weeks of break where I don't do much work at all.

I’m not really sure what use these codes for Splatoon 2 clothes would be to anyone since if you play online, you likely already have them but here ya go thread: B14D3F0317BJRCP2 C0YNQP910MP610XC C0YNQP92KJR185NW C0YNQP93L81QKXDJ C0YNQP94NGJFMQBF C0YNQP952TT06G62 C0YNQP9636HD4Q5J C0YNQP97JV3N1J1M

I work in the coffee industry and almost everyone I know has moved out of town, which really frees up my evenings. I just bought Blasphemous, it was too cheap to pass up. What's the best early game approach? Can I just explore in any given direction?

Ragequit posted:How did Legend of Mana Remaster turn out? It’s down to $20 on the eShop. It's a pretty solid update on the original. It's still as esoteric and nonsensical, but the revamped soundtrack is even more amazing, the new translation is solid, and the encounters toggle is a wonderful addition. If you love the original, the remaster is worth it for $20. If you've never played the original, look into it first, as it's a very weird game with a bigger focus on world-building without much of a central narrative. It's basically SaGa meets Mana but with beat-em-up gameplay.

I bought my switch with Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 and BotW and that sustained me for months and months. I think the first 'indie' games I put significant time into were Into the Breach and Stardew Valley.

fit em all up in there posted:Has anyone tried out the Monster Rancher game ? Was thinking of picking it on switch, but I saw it was on pc too. I’ve been playing it, it’s pretty fun. It’s basically just a straight port of the PS1 games with some minor QoL changes, but I think the game still holds up pretty well if you’re in the mood for it. There’s no differences between the switch and pc version that I know of.
