Disposable Scud posted:I forgot about the remake. Why can't there be a modern Flashback that isn't garbage? Someone recommend a good Flashback-like. There was an indie Flashback clone called LUNARK that came out: haven't played it but I think it was reviewed alright. There was also an Another World indie clone called Full Void. Other than that, there are plenty of cinematic puzzle-platformers like INSIDE and American Arcadia that are similar in nature.

It's a shame Soulstorm was such a making GBS threads miserable nuisance to try and actually play.

I'm in a action indie roguelike thing bend right now (played Spelunky, Void Rains Upon her Heart, Nova Drift...) so I was wondering if the remastered version of Risk of Rain is worth it. I have 10 hours in the original and enjoyed it fine, but got distracted by something or other.

Azran posted:This is going to be a tad specific but what other options do I have in terms of roguelike or run-based shooters where you have both weapons and magic like in Gunfire Reborn or, for lack of a better example, Prey or Bioshock 2? I was watching some Witchfire gameplay (Epic-exclusive EA title) and I got a hankering for that. Cryptark is maybe worth a look, $1 in the current humble bundle. Roguelite spaceship spelunking, the weapons are great fun.

My two cents on the health recovery discussion is that encouraging backtracking (for health packs you walked by earlier) in an action game sucks, but encouraging players to sit behind cover and suck their thumbs for a while also sucks. nuDOOMs have the best solution to that problem. If you want to restore health you better extract it from the bodies of your fallen enemies.

Am I crazy, or is episode 2 of HROT not very good? I absolutely loved episode 1, but the difficulty in episode 2 feels a lot more punishing and less fun, with a lot of bullet-sponge enemies that can just shave off half your health bar if they hit you once. There's also more traps where enemies will just spawn around you in a circle at random when you pick stuff up, or you'll be teleported into a situation where you're surrounded. Part of that is probably on me- I did switch to hard after episode 1 got really easy near the end- but you can't switch difficulty mid-episode, so.

Trick Question posted:Am I crazy, or is episode 2 of HROT not very good? Not entirely crazy, no. Episode 2's level design seems to have taken a hit, to the point it becomes stale enough that sometimes you will start resenting a bit episode 1 because you've already seen those "tricks" before and they weren't fun back there either. Bullet-sponge enemies like bears and horse riders at least are boss-like fights, so that's fine, honestly. But the drat snakes. Oh my god, are those loving snakes the worst. No matter what you use, be it fire, explosives, shotgun shells, accurate pistol shots, melee scything, they take forever to go down and waste so many resources.

So uh.. heard of this game? Under a dollar right now. Lizard Survivors: Battle for Hyperborea https://store.steampowered.com/app/2621150/Lizard_Survivors_Battle_for_Hyperborea/ They have launched an active invasion on our lands in late September this year, so let us break free of the slavic hand that held us by our balls for many ages! Rally all of our reptile militia, we will end this all together! LIZARDS, WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES BUT WE WILL BE CONQUERORS!

I'm all for Pro-Ukraine propaganda but this Lizard friendly stuff is making me itch. I'm all for progressive ideals but if my daughter came home with a 9 foot lizardman bred for the endless battlefields of blood, I don't know how I'd react.

Yeah, I mean, to me it's: Nazis accuse enemies of being lizards. Nazis are all about blonde musclemen. This game has Heroic lizards killing blonde musclemen. So to me, it's explicitly anti-nazi.
