Yeah Golden Idol is a good detective game, and I love the funky-ugly art style. It is currently #16 in my top 50 2022 list but I may jumble some stuff around before I officially post it in the GOTY thread Also if there's an indie game you're looking at, don't forget to check for demos or free prologues. Sunday Gold has one, Golden Idol has one (although it's a bit too generous, it's like 25% of the game!), Fashion Police Squad has one, NORCO has one, Roadwarden has one.

Aside from punishingly annoying HOI4 achievements won through blood, sweat, and tears, my rarest was getting a bullseye on the dart board housing object in PSO2. Not a minigame or anything, you just click it and it tells you the score you got, like a random dice roller.

I can limit myself to one: Psychonauts 2, Hitman 3, or Satisfactory?

I suppose I should wait with nominating Vampire Survivors in every category when the store rush has died down, so it actually remembers what I'm selecting. Except VR, I nominated Hitman 3 for that one. Edit: Okay, what is happening is that I can only select each game once. Disappointing.

Is there a way to share one's Wishlist? I can Right Click -> Copy Page URL, but if I paste it into a browser it says "OOPS, THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOW HERE / There are 0 items on your wishlist, but none of them match the filters you have applied above" which isn't true. A bunch of things on mine are on sale but I can't decide what if anything is worth buying  EchoBlade God of War Dying Light 2 No Man's Sky Ghostwire Tokyo Riftbound ABRISS Disgaea 6 Stray Farthest Frontier Gloomwood LEGO: Bricktales Was hoping for deeper discounts on GOW, DL2, NMS, Ghostwire and Disgaea

Jack Trades posted:I played some of it in closed beta and it was great. I played it during the closed test as well. It was enjoyable, but I don't think it's a revolutionary new game mode that is going to knock people's socks off. Everybody should be playing Hitman 3, but don't buy it just because of this future update. Buy it because it's got great murder sandboxes that can be tackled in dozens of ways. Edit: And since buying modern Hitman on Steam is such a clusterfuck, you either want the Standard Edition or Hitman Trilogy (for content from the first two games if you didn't own them on Steam already). If you dig the Hitman Trilogy, you might want the Hitman 2 Expansion DLC for 2 more levels (New York bank & Maldives resort), more toys and some other stuff.

I've been playing and enjoying Trifox and can really recommend it. Full disclosure: some friends of mine developed this game (a small 3-man studio, and they could use some more love), but I did not. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1211240/Trifox/ This is a cute, fun isometric twin-stick shooter / action platformer and i'd say it is worth the 15 bucks it costs right now. Story: kinda silly and (imho) too short, but funny. Your tv remote gets stolen and you need to get it back. That's it. Why they need the remote is something you only learn at the end, but it is not really a surprise. There is no characterization or even real dialogue. Gameplay: Fun! After a while, there are a lot of different options to choose from and it is really nice to be able to select your own loadout out of all the powers. You can choose between melee power, magic ones and tech ones. Each one has its own cooldown, so only choosing super powerfun ones will not be the best idea. After a couple of levels, my Trifox would shoot quick bullets, place down automatic flame throwers (both engineer class), use a warrior melee attack and block with a mage shield. Depending on your "class", your special movement ability (dash, teleport or helicopter) will also change. The game is mainly isometric with (often) a lot of enemies (some of which look puny but are very powerful). As said, you can play it mainly as melee (think Hades) or more like a twin-stick shooter. There are a couple of hidden gems in every level, but it is not a collectathon. The gems (unfortunately) don't even do anything gameplay-wise. The traversal and puzzles are pretty easy, but jumping sometimes feels rather floaty, which can cause you to miscalculate your jumps. Also, sometimes doors just shut you out of previous parts of a level, so if you accidentally go through one before checking every location in one part, you will have to replay that level if you missed something. Graphics: Cute and colourful. They have a deliberate kind of retro-look that do remind you of earlier platformer games. There are three (well, four, but the fourth one is really short and basically just a boss) kinds of levels with their own variations. Music and "voice": nice, but instead of dialogues you get animal sounds, which sometimes sound too repetitive.  All in all a pretty fun game that makes you feel nostalgic for the old games of yore. It is rather short, seeing as I needed only five hours and a half to reach 93% completion after one playthrough of most of the levels (and looking for secrets everywhere).

Are there any games like Divinity Original Sin 2 where you can co-op a story heavy RPG? I don't think there are but I'd like to be proven wrong.

Zapf Dingbat posted:Are there any games like Divinity Original Sin 2 where you can co-op a story heavy RPG? I don't think there are but I'd like to be proven wrong. Your best bet is probably old D&D license games - you can do this in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (and 3, though it isn't finished), and in both Neverwinter Nights games. And of course the first Original Sin also has this, albeit only for two players. Just be aware that other than the two D:OS games, titles that have this feature have tended to have it as a throw in rather than a real emphasis, so it can get a bit awkward in places. As I recall, the main character in a multi-player Baldur's Gate 2 playthrough is "whoever initiated dialogue this time"?

Has anyone played Stephen's Sausage Roll? I added it to my wishlist a long time ago after Jonathan Blow mentioned it in an interview, thinking of pulling the trigger now that it's 60% off. It has overwhelmingly positive reviews but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere outside that interview.

I like puzzle games but Stephen's Sausage Roll blew my rear end clean off like five puzzles in. Ended up never going back after that. I think it would appeal to some puzzle people but only if you like those sliding piece puzzles but, like, "for fuckers" difficulty.

Satisfactory is probably one of my favorite factory building games tied with Dyson Sphere Program. Satisfactory is great in first person, and works really really really well. DSP is more traditional top down. I only wish Satisfactory had a totally procedural generated worlds. (Or maybe it does by now, been a while)

Nobody makes games like Cavy House so if you want a unique sense of style and narrative then it's very cool. Overall, though, the game play of Sealed Ampoule is semi-mindless grinding, it's a perfect podcast game. Crown Trick is a pretty fun, but I didn't stick with it.

Curious about several games while trying to prune down the wishlist of games I've added years ago and never even thought about, anything worth a purchase? Code Vein: anime vampires or something, is usually 80% off or higher but seems a little dumb Utawarerumono: apparently a storied and popular jrpg series, never heard of it past a recent thread mention Biomutant: Still has mixed reviews, remember a lot of hype but then it just fizzled out Atelier Ryza: I know this is a series of games, the one I added came out in 2019, also some jrpg but some major crafting sim as well? DAEMON X MACHINA: wasn't this a Switch exclusive game? Weird to have that show up on PC. Steelrising: Spiders game, so jank, but really positive reviews which is not normal for their games.

Code Vein is real good (except the Cathedral) but if you're a terminally allergic to anime goon then it won't do you any good. Utawarerumono games are all excellent. Biomutant is not good. Ryza 1 is good and you don't need to have played any other Atelier games. You can do absurd stuff moving traits around on items and equipment. DxM came to PC like two years back, it was free on EGS at one point too. It's alright, not a patch on the good armoured cores but better than the rougher ones.
