Picked up and played a bit of Creeper World 4, an RTS/tower defense game where your enemy is... liquid? Story mode seems like it eases you into things just fine and I like that there are daily challenges and a random mission generator.

my friend who's been playing through the yakuza games over the past few years just was telling me this weekend about how the crew of manbabies isn't just a one off jokey side mission in one of the games but they're a recurring group of characters that show up in multiple iterations

Humble Choice this month is pretty good. Deep Rock Galactic, Necromunda (Janky 40k shooter), Banners of Ruin, Lawnmower Simulator, Legion 2 TD, Legend of Keepers, Yes, Your Grace and... uh..... ....Atom RPG trudograd which is an interesting Fallout-esque game that is -extremely- racist iirc.

FuzzySlippers posted:I didn't find it very interesting. The low budget hex aesthetic didn't feel stylish enough for John Wick and I didn't think it was tactically interesting enough for me to stick with the game's narrow mission focus. It's funny that the hex choice in particular makes the replays look so goofy since you can't really run in a straight line so you have this bobbling back and forth John Wick. Thanks. Ended up skipping out on it. Weird it's a turn based game. Last two games I'm looking at before the sale ends are An Outcry and Galaxy of Pen and Paper. Any thoughts on these two ?

I might have missed the announcement that Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is free on Amazon Prime Gaming this month. If you ever wanted an unofficial clone of FF Tactics for grinding out crazy broken job-class combinations on a grid, you should definitely check it out , especially for free. I bought it at full price early-access and actually finished it and most of the optional content, with no regrets.

Does anyone have opinions on the Steam vs. console versions of Omori? The Steam version is apparently missing some "reverse exclusive" content, but I've heard differing opinions as to whether it actually matters.

does the monster hunter rise expansion have a weapon/armor equivalent to the defender set from iceborne where you just make it out of a twig and some string and it's more powerful than anything in the base game so you can just power through it?

Someone many pages back had recommended Golden Treasure - The Great Green and after playing it for a few nights I agree with the recommendation. I haven't played a game quite like it. It's a mix between choose your own adventure and a rock-paper-scissors battle system with stats (elements) to upgrade. The writing style is unique - I have no idea how long it took the developer to lean into this writing style and I don't really even know how to describe it aside from "animalistic and spiritual". It's written from the point of a dragon hatchling that's learning the world and the game takes place in ancient times. You make choices (in my case, often the wrong ones) that gain you elemental masteries. Fully "mastering" an animal species (through a combination of observing it, tanking damage or just eating them) gives you a pile of elemental mastery, so it's one of the most important things to do. When you gain enough knowledge to master an animal, flavour text appears and it's written from the perspective of that animal in a really spiritualistic way as well. All in all, it's bizarre and compelling and I've died so many times but I keep coming back.

Hogama posted:They added Defender weapons and Black Belt armor back towards PC Rise's launch - roughly speaking, they were good enough to carry you to the beginning of High Rank without making other gear. They just introduced additional upgrades for the weapons and an HR set of Black Belt armor with Sunbreak's launch - it's good enough to carry you to around the beginning of the expansion without making other gear, but that's before the true end of base game content (you won't even have fought the first of the elder dragon trio if you started from the beginning). drat it hogama i wanted an excuse not to pick it up until sunbreak goes on sale because a group of my friends want me to get it and "oh the defender set actually exists in vanilla monster hunter rise" is the exact wrong thing for you to say

All the videos I'm finding of Snowrunner seem to be made by pro-thusiast dudes with steering wheels, shifters, clutches, TrackIR setups, all kinds of stuff. Is fun to play with a just gamepad?

Small HOMM5 question. I've really only just started, I'm on like the fourth mission of the first campaign and I'm just curious if the missions get bigger. There are some mechanics like artifacts, town management, etc, that feel rather superfluous so far because the mission is over in a few weeks worth of turns and most of it doesn't carry over to the next mission. But maybe it's just like, a longform tutorial.

It might be best played with keyboard/mouse given how important winching is. You definitely do not need a race setup, it's not that kind of game. Steering angles change veeery slowly, it's more about understanding what you're doing than actual execution like a racing game.

Just got turned onto Metal: Hellsinger from Civvie's latest video and holy poo poo, everyone needs to play the demo for this now and then buy it in September. It's a rhythm-shooter, similar to how Crypt of the Necrodancer is a rhythm roguelike. If you shoot on the beat, you do more damage, and reload if you press it on the beat as well. And all of this is accompanied by awesome tracks. The more you beat up your rhythm meter, the more layers the music gets, ultimately having the vocals come in. The music in the game was written by some pretty big names.  And here's the first track you encounter after getting through the quick tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpJ0jBTdP70 The demo on steam can be beaten in about 20 minutes.

I could do for some first person shooters that have, like, idk, club jazz or funk music rather than metal music. Why is it always metal?? Someone do an FPS with hip hop soundtrack, or dance music

I really liked BPM as it had great music and gameplay. I think it would be cool to have a dance music rhythm FPS!
