signalis has a very specific flavor that's meant to appeal more to an impression of what PS1 horror was like than actually faithfully recreating it. it's got some top notch aesthetics and builds a wonderful mood, but its actual gameplay is clunky and uneven in a lot of ways that work to sap tension instead of ratcheting it the limited item slots and need to keep returning to the box combined with respawning enemies is conceptually clever, but the #1 rule for horror is that repetition diminishes fear, and nothing will diminish your fear faster than repeatedly running a loop-de-loop around the same stubborn cyber zombie every time you need to get another key item from the safe room half a block away

Yeah; the inventory is the single biggest problem with the game. Near the end there’s at least one puzzle with more components than you have inventory slots. And that’s where you discover that there’s no way to return a room to unexplored status or otherwise mark that there’s something you left in there

I had totally forgotten about how many times I ran up to a door and tried to open it and it didn't open. That was annoying for sure. Still love the game though! Also, sat down to beat RE4 Remake tonight thinking it'd take me 90 minutes to get through the final chapter. Nope. 2 rockets later and Saddler was dust.

I've been playing the latter Tomb Raider games, and it's refreshing how Lara Croft is confronted by the native people protecting the Holy Grail or whatever, and just goes okay I'll fight the nazis with you but also will raid your tomb for my own selfish reasons. They call me the Tomb Raider for a reason lol.

I picked up sweet transit on sale the other day after resisting buying an early access game as long as I could, currently obsessed with it. it's just transport tycoon but instead of npc cities you have to build trains to service, it's an anno style economic city builder where you have to service the escalating needs of your citizens as your colonies expand. but the maddening thing about it is, every choice you make has a gently caress load of externalities that you have to consider that weave together into a crazy logistics puzzle. and compared to a lot of these games, it's a logistics puzzle that completely organically arises from the stuff that you're already doing, instead of some contrived reason the game has to gently caress you up like, at the beginning of the game you have one town that needs to do everything, house people, produce their needs and luxuries, and also run your industry. but almost everything you build in a town pisses off the people that live there, and your tax revenue and population growth start leveling off. you can offset it somewhat building parks but, the upkeep on those quickly gets out of control. so at some point you think about moving the industries where no one will be upset, except, people also get unhappy if they don't have work so now you need to transport the labor to industry and ship the goods back. now if any part of those logistics break down then the town collapses because either you aren't providing enough or the town isn't able to consume enough. you can stabilize things somewhat by developing that industrial colony into it's own little village but if it gets too self sufficient then, you're back at square one with everyone unemployed and unhappy, and also that village too will probably need goods shipped into it which complicates your logistics. everything is connected but how and to what degree you have to decide on your own, and I don't know if there's really a Right Answer but I'm thinking about it alot even laying in bed here. and I'm not even really at the part yet where towns get big enough that you have to manage their own internal logistics and build little trams to move things across town, which is gonna turn all this poo poo upside down again

I'm very "hype" about the new Cities Skylines. Also, the Dead Space remake comes to game pass at the end of the month. Also also, I just bought GOTY candidate Octopath 2. Too many games.

Gollum was far more perplexing because why would anyone make a AAA game based around playing him. With Kong yeah the game looks cheap as hell but you could get the appeal of why it would get made (if only for holding onto the copyright in this case)

Feldegast42 posted:(if only for holding onto the copyright in this case) What copyright? None of the entities involved in this game hold an active copyright on any iteration of King Kong, and it's very clearly taking advantage of the fact that the novelization of the original movie is public domain.

Peter Jackson's King Kong still holds up. That game was sick as hell. No reason to add in the whole points system but it made the game repeatable as hell

Redfall was depressing because when Arkane said they were gearing up for some kind of shooter co-op game I immediately assumed they were finally producing a real version of "The Crossing" but I guess that was mostly what Deathloop's player v player ended up being. I don't think it's coincidence that the last Arkane game I loved was Prey, which was directed by the co-founder of Arkane who left right after. Maybe Bethesda can pay for the Deus Ex IP and give it back to Harvey Smith instead of letting him end his career with Redfall.

ymgve posted:The Styx games did moderately well, so there is precedence for people wanting to play a tiny ugly gnome in a stealth game The thing is that Gollum is a hateful but also pitiable creature, who's been destroyed bodily and mentally by a force completely outside his understanding. Gollum is a literary device, not a character with actual agency, and that's kind of the point. Styx just curses alot and hates and murders the human guards for reasons. He's a goblin Agent 47.

I don't know how much of Redfall they got done before Deathloop released but its wild that they released Deathloop and the general vibe of reviews was "this should have been more like Dishonored which they are good at making" then kept going and released Redfall next. Even if it had been genuinely a masterpiece of co-op, open world shooters its almost the opposite of what their core demographic likes.
