Yeah 2 goes over the plot of the original and optionally you can go over it in much greater detail, not in a text dump but a tour of sorts.

A good example of a game with a solid skeleton that they put graphics on top of instead of having the fancy stuff be everything.

Logic Town is a logic puzzle game like you’d see in magazines back in the day. A set of clues and then a grid to fill out. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2333240/Logic_Town/ I played the demo during Next Fest and the full game is basically just that but more complicated. I’m really enjoying it so far. 17/17 positive reviews at time of posting.

Is it really a ripoff when they are both based on puzzles older than computers? Also this reminds me that there is one puzzle of this type in Dishonored 2, and one speedrun strat is to basically solve it in your head

I remember doing them as a kid, I don’t think someone has a monopoly on that idea. The steam game plays nice on the steam deck, so that’s enough for me. I’ll take a look at this Sherlock thing though too.

EK's logic games are great and well worth checking out, he's done a ton of new variations on randomly generated Sherlock type stuff (for example Dinner with Moriarty, which is the same concept but which exchanges columns for a circular arrangement around a dinner table, which leads to a lot of interesting new clues). However, there's no getting around the fact that the apps are sort of barebones and clunky, not to mention universally ugly as sin. If you're the kind of puzzler who doesn't mind that they're a blast.

I bounced off of Logic Town after a short period because the hardest part of it is telling the seemingly intentionally similar object symbols apart. Trying to internalize which of four different identically colored coffee pastries (or eight similarly colored and interchangeably posed ducks) is which across multiple columnar and rule transpositions is not fun. The sharov.io game, though it was borked for me, does have highly contrasting items.

Played some Risk of Rain Returns with a friend. Any time one of us failed to make a jump we'd drop offscreen and the other player had to follow. it seriously hampers gameplay. Doesn't seem to be an option for the camera be more dynamic and zoom or split.

Couch co-op, we played some 30XX where no-matter how far apart we were the screen did a good job of scaling and zooming to make it playable, then played RoR Returns and it was just unfun when the main gameplay ended up in waiting to make sure nobody missed a jump, or climbing down when someone did.

Great depictions of food but the dungeoning gameplay felt like it would get repetitive quickly since it felt like there were only a few enemy types. Yeah I gave it a quick shot, definitely not my thing. Well made, I think, but I'm not really into collecting games like that and the combat is somewhat mediocre. Could also use some better quest markers and it seems like it's very easy to spend too much time on one thing and then run out of time for another thing. I'm sure there are many people who would like it to be clear, and it's obvious that a lot of love and effort went into it, just not my thing. ultrafilter posted:SANABI Sanabi though, really surprised me in a good way. Although there's no voice acting, it's got an interesting story, great characters and strong worldbuilding. But most of all the grappling mechanic is probably the best-feeling I've ever played in a video game like this. It's not clunky, it flows, it kind of automatically helps you aim at relevant spots. Much better game than I expected. Play fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Nov 11, 2023 |

Shogun Showdown https://store.steampowered.com/app/2084000/ 97% Positive out of 1,066 reviews Sleek, well designed, bite-sized puzzley/roguelite gameplay. Playable with one hand on the mouse or a few keys on the keyboard. RNG in the skill selection/upgrades makes each playthrough quite different, or just completely fucks you over, but even trying to make a series of bad draws work is a lot of fun. It's like ten bucks and it's just good.
