Core Keeper is out in early access, so that's one to keep an eye on. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1621690/Core_Keeper/ It's in one of those situations where you can finish the game, but there's still more content to come in the future.

Hyperbolicaquote:Hyperbolica is a whimsical Non-Euclidean adventure with mind-bending worlds full of games, puzzles, mazes, and secrets! Immerse yourself in reality-warping geometries where lines can never be parallel, horizons are curved, and space grows exponentially. Reviews are generally positive (93% of 59 as of right now), but there seem to be some issues with the VR bits and a few people have pointed out that this feels more like a tech demo than a game.

Verdugo posted:Been playing Dysmantle and it's good mindless fun. Gameplay loop is break stuff -> upgrade your things or make new things to break even more stuff. Kinda like the initial loop in Minecraft of create tool -> break things to get better tools to break better things. Has enemies but they're pretty simple to defeat once you get their patterns down plus there's a item that will stop respawns in an area. If you're into minecraft like progression w/ top town isometric style then it's worth it otherwise get it on sale. Not a AAA story but mindless fun. Has couch co op too.

Tombot posted:Core Keeper is out in early access, so that's one to keep an eye on. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1621690/Core_Keeper/ Picked this up with a couple friends and its surprisingly solid for Early Access. STRONG Terraria vibes with a huge and varied map, boss-focused gameplay, and mute NPCs you lure into your base with tiny rooms fit with just a door and a bed. Playing it before the inevitable wave of explanatory wiki's and guides has been a lot of fun and the world opens up a huge amount once you finish off the first three bosses. I imagine we'll get bored with it in a week or two (depending on how much more content there is beyond the first three bosses) but its a super strong start and with regular updates could be a great game.

Angry Avocado posted:Will You Snail? This is kind of fun and relatively good. But I refunded it. I really do like precission platformers and this one even has secrets strewn in there. But there is one mayor flaw. There are random spikes popping up from the ground. You get a half second warning so you can dodge them, but depending on your luck, they might just be unavoidable. For example, if you doublejump past an obstacle and are falling down towards a singular safe space. If the RNG decides to spawn such a spike there while you fall towards it, all you can do is perish. It's always weird, when one little mechanic sort of ruins a game for me.

Very similar to an isometric Terraria in a lot of ways. Some base building, some crafting, some ARPG ish combat and elements. Slowly kill bosses out there in the world to progress. So far I like it a lot and it’s also surprisingly complete I think for an EA game!

I was surprised at how difficult the combat was at first, but I was ramming my face into places i obviously wasn't equipped for Also got jumpscared by spiders. I thought two moblins was bad with a stick, try six spiders with just a sword as they swarm you from all sides. I will give them credit, these are the best-designed spiders to not trigger arachnophobia outside of, like, Grounded where they explicitly designed accessibility options to customize out the parts of spiders that trigger your arachnophobia

thecluckmeme posted:If you roll once and hold the button down, you sprint Yeah I know. But still. Maybe it will change as I progress, but I often feel like I react in time to avoid an attack, but get hit anyway, because the dodging feels slow. I guess it's mostly in my head, because the I-Frames come instantly. Something about the controls feels slow, but I can't put my finger on it. The exploration and map design are top notch though. And I really love how they handled the manual. Learning about obscure game mechanics by earning the relevant information is a fun design.

Nah there definitely is not a lot of room for error, you can't cancel your combos/attacks which makes it feel like it takes forever to roll away. I try to be judicious with my attacks and always be ready to evade instead of mashing attack. At the same time, some enemies can be stunlocked so pushing forward is best. It's an interesting combat system, I wouldn't call it the best but it's serviceable and challenging so I like it. Also, Ghostwire: Tokyo is coming out in a few days. I'm freaking pumped for that.

Captain Hygiene posted:Huh, I've been seeing a bunch of praise for this and had it on my interest list, that's not good to hear. It looks and feels aesthetically like the re-release of Links Awakening but in practice it is a lot more like a modern action game like Dark Souls. You can eventually upgrade your attack/defense/etc and find useful spells, but important items are buried in places. I generally play exploration games by rubbing my face against every wall and corner, and this game still has had some clever shortcuts that existed the whole time, but only one side of it was obvious. I could have been running around with a shield way earlier than I was if I just found one weird shortcut So it's a soulslike, but cutesy and isometric

The most recent thing that is like it I would say is Death's Door, although I bounced off of Death's Door and am fully engrossed with Tunic. I think the charm of the game and how you discover it's mechanics helps carry it. It's on gamepass at the least so its a worth a shot if you have that  I'm currently prioritizing it over Elden Ring, and I've been itching for an open world exploration game.

I like it ok but it shoehorned in a poor version of Souls combat when regular old Zelda combat would have been fine. Like I don’t think you’re supposed to find the shortcut that thecluckmeme mentioned until after you get the shield, it’s just that you die so easy until you get it so it feels bad. I say this as someone who likes difficult games, Tunic’s combat is just rear end. People in the Xbox thread mentioned you can turn on infinite health/stamina but that doesn’t sound fun either.
