Shadows of Doubt https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256942784/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1682347930 quote:An immersive sandbox detective stealth game set in a fully simulated sci-fi noir city of crime and corruption. Think like a private investigator and take on jobs to earn cash on your path to catching a serial killer. If you don’t catch them - they will kill again… This is one a lot of folks, including me, have been waiting for ever since it had a pretty good demo back in the demo fest. $17.99 on a 10% release discount right now. Still in Early Access. Forest Ranger Simulator https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256927237/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1674847310 quote:WHAT CAN YOU DO IN FOREST RANGER SIMULATOR This is very much for if you are into the early access janky simulator genre like I am, but I felt it was worth mentioning because the idea of "go around and clean up nature and feed the birds and remove illegal traps so they don't hurt animals" is a nice one at its core. Maybe worth a look if you are into chill stuff like House Flipper or Powerwash Simulator, although I will put in the warning that I've seen some pre-release streams and the game has some rough edges still. $13.49 on 10% release discount.

Archmage Rises is out today. They had a demo of the full game for like two months and it certainly is interesting though I would warn that it is a true EA game and feels like pre-Alpha. I tried the demo last week and still ran in to all sorts of bugs, but I am keeping my eye on it to see how it progresses. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256940015/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1680816384 quote:Prepare to immerse yourself in the freedom that you can normally only get out of a tabletop RPG.

It's such an intriguing idea, I'm hoping it lives up to the promise I've only done two cases so far but it seems really good. It didn't hold my hand at all for either case and they were both solved in completely different ways. Performance is kind of all over the place when you're in the city but other than that the only bug I've really run into was one apartment entrance where I fell through the floor.

I'm really appreciating the ability to enable or disable individual status effects in the gameplay menu for Shadow of Doubt, so I can turn off hunger and thirst when I'm on a "stakeout" rather than having to bother running back to the diner for food.

You can expand your inventory and just carry a couple doughnuts with you. But, yes, having that customizability is always great.

Stranded: Alien Dawn came out of EA, which makes it probably the first 3d Rimworld-esque game I've been following that actually released. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1324130/Stranded_Alien_Dawn/ quote:Brave a new world in Stranded: Alien Dawn, a planet survival sim placing the fate of a small marooned group in your hands. Forge your story through compelling and immersive strategic gameplay as you make vital decisions to protect your survivors from starvation, disease, extreme weather and more. From basic camps to fortified bases, create a stronghold to defend the survivors from attacks by alien creatures that roam an expansive and deadly alien world. Experience an epic and unpredictable journey.  Very Positive reviews. I wanna pick it up but playing way too many games right now already.

Accessibility benefits everyone. You love to see it. Man this is one of my absolute favorite threads on the forum even though most of the stuff y’all post is PC and I don’t even have a good gaming rig. I just love all the funny, weird, interesting, unusual things that get posted here. It’s also funny to see blatant marketing from small teams. Yo solarpunk is not a thing stop it. lol.

It's such an intriguing idea, I'm hoping it lives up to the promise I love the game but at the moment it's fairly rough in several ways. If you save often it's fine, there's even a quick save, but loading takes a while. The bug I run into the most is one where I'll accept a side job but then the instructions I get are missing nouns. I'll be told to go to a phone at midnight but not where and also I suspect the time is wrong and is supposed to be sooner or at least different from each job I get like that. You can close a case whenever though so I just toss them and do another thing. It also seems to have a memory leak or something as performance gets worse over time, and I lose the ability to zoom in and out with the map and corkboard until I restart the game. Also a lot of visual glitches and weirdness from the procgen but overall nothing insanely major I don't see them fixing by release.

Sadly most of the negative reviews are in Chinese and machine translations butcher the gaming lingo they use so it's hard to know what the complaints are.

haldolium posted:OTXO I picked this up based on the soundtrack and gave it about an hour and refunded it. I like the concept but man oh man did the controls feel slippery for me. I was trying to adjust the cursor speed/mouse sensitivity and whether it was set to 1 or 100 it didn't feel any different. It also didn't recognize like half the buttons on my gamepad. I think if you're more tuned into the default speed this wants to play at, you'll have a better time than I did (and they'll probably fix it in a patch). I think the problem for me was that after an hour looking at a black and white (with a splash of red) color palette and very samey rooms, I realized I didn't want to spend the time getting into the zone with the game. There's very little visual identity for any of the levels and there's only, i think, 2 or 3 different enemy types besides the bosses (which look cool). I think this is meant for people who want to focus purely on the improvisational bullet ballet with no frills, no friction, and no focus on environments and that just isn't for me. YMMV! Soundtrack beats rear end though, I bought it on bandcamp, it's a perfect workout album.

However, I also bounced off OTXO hard. Playing it I realized how much the story structure, vague and feverish as it was, did for Hotline Miami. Also, the varied level design. This is just progressing through a bunch of corridors, maybe there's more story later, but there's nothing to draw you in. To make matters worse, I actually didn't like that you have a health bar and there's this focus on slowing down time to avoid bullets. I much preferred HM's gameplay loop where you had to learn a level layout until you could execute a beautiful choreography, but maybe that's just me.

Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1214670/Mr_Suns_Hatbox/ Just wanted to highlight this one since I think it’s easy to miss but is really great. It feels a bit like Spelunky + Metal Gear Solid 5 + the Rogue Legacy random traits system. It’s a platformer where you send units who die forever if they die out on heists equipped with a bunch of gear. On the missions you can steal more gear and kidnap enemies (yoinking them via balloons) to become part of your crew for future missions Units have unique traits which make them play differently (eg one dude can’t hear, another is bulletproof, another’s thrown objects deal more damage but also break whenever thrown), and either working around traits or trying to get someone with a strong combo is a fun side game. There is a ton of different gear/trait combos which keep things feeling fresh/different heist to heist. Game feel wise it reminds me a ton of spelunky, in that it’s a world with fairly simple rules but complex interactions, and tight controls. So you can pull of really crazy runs, or manage to get spectacularly wrecked, but in any case it feels fair. There’s also a base building layer where you do research, assign units to roles, etc that gives a sort of run to run progression. Also, it has up to four player local coop + death match. Overall 9/10 game imo - probably more a 15-20 hour game to fully complete once, though ofc you could replay.
