Plan B: Terraformquote:Terraform a lifeless rock into a lush and habitable world. Build trucks, trains and sprawling factories on an enormous hexagonal planet. Grow its population to millions. Enjoy a dynamic simulation of atmosphere, temperature, water and forests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95PxMff073Y Some of you may have spotted this on the Demo game thing that Steam had a few days ago. I gotta say I really enjoyed the demo and the game itself also seems pretty good. General premise is that you are both colonising and terraforming a mars-like planet over the course of several years by building factories and creating supply chains. Unlike other games, power is not an issue and it's mostly just about supply and demand, I don't think there is a fail state either so It's pretty chill. You also get to watch as your city (or cities depending on how busy you want to get) as well as the planet progress as you slowly unlock more technology and build more factories. It's in early access so things like the game's story is not quite there yet, but I do believe it is still "completable" in it's current form. Ratings are currently "Very positive".

I didn’t find the Plan B Terraform demo revolutionary in any mechanical sense, but as a vibes kind of game I was super into it. Easy buy for only $9 - the dev(I think singular? Or at least mostly one guy) seems super involved too so maybe some of that mechanics stuff gets fleshed out more in the end, too.

If we're talking newly available old releases, Hardwar just went up on Steam today, as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1500540/Hardwar/ https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256916595/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1675273533 No reviews on Steam yet, average score from magazine reviews in 1998 through MobyRank puts it at around 73/100. It's an Elite/Privateer inspired game, has a bit of cult following. No idea exactly how well this release runs on a modern system, but it was surprising seeing it turn up out of the blue.

Hogama posted:If we're talking newly available old releases, Hardwar just went up on Steam today, as well. No idea how well it holds up today, but I remember absolutely loving this when it came out. I think it was around the era of Wipeout, and they did the whole "license a bunch of actually quite legit electronic music for the soundtrack" thing. I guess it might be a bit simplistic now but as a time capsule of late 90s cyber aesthetics, you know, the stuff that's coming back ironically, it might have looped around and be cool again, especially at a budget price.

Hardwar is a game I remember reading about in PC Gamer but my computer wasn't good enough to run it, so I've mythologised it for decades. I'm a little curious about it even if it'll never live up to my childhood imaginings.

Pvt. Parts posted:What makes it stand out over StS for you? StS is more a full on rogue-like, which while many are into, but it felt too random for me. pretty big map with set enemies and upgrade hubs makes me feel I have a lot more control, and the RNG is just the cards I pick up for the deck itself. Along with map specific challenges, it feels more like a complete package. And I like the music and ninjas more

Jeff Minter's adaption of Akka Arrh is now out on Steam and Xbox (and PS4, but for some reason you have to search for it by name on the PSN store) It's not quite the typical frantic Minter game, having somewhat slower gameplay initially in the vein of Every Extend, but interesting variations later on.

No idea if there's a Son of the Forest thread but the game came out on early access yesterday and I need somewhere to post that if you run and throw a log into a body of water the inertia of the "throw" will literally skip the log on the water straight forward until it hits another land mass. Helped a buddy build a lake tree house by skipping logs to his island. A+ game. Also! If you cut a tree and let it fall into water they just bounce up and down at ridiculous heights ShortyMR.CAT fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Feb 27, 2023 |

Shotgun works better though
