A game I backed on Kickstarter like 7 years ago finally released. The Universim This is a Black & White-esque God game where you guide a civilization of beings called Nuggets from the stone age into space. I last played it a few years ago and it was pretty entertaining so I'm looking forward to diving back in for the full release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyWUUHzGyJE

I think the fact that there are 100+ voiced characters helped me make the decision, that's a lot of care and effort which is a good sign overall.

Picked it up. Good voice acting. Charming. Extremely corny which imho works for the tone they're going for, a sort of early nineties adventure game feel. Seems like it could get weird dark too. But for the price even this early I'd give it a recommend.

Some quick reviews:ultrafilter posted:Lil' Guardsman This game is super cute and fun. Decent art and gameplay mechanics, great voice acting, and surprisingly interesting world building. Definitely a keeper. Play posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/2097230/Turnip_Boy_Robs_a_Bank/ Honestly I liked the first one okay, but I got bored and never finished it since the pacing could be a bit slow. The format for this one, which is like a strange form of half-roguelike where there are randomized elements but also fixed points on the maps, fits perfectly. Tons of amusing humor, fast pace, okay combat, funny characters. They really knocked this one out of the park. If I was to criticize, I feel like the movement feels a bit... off somehow. Not sure how but it doesn't feel like I have total control at all points. Still, really fun game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1203620/Enshrouded/ https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256980507/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1699368971 quote:You are Flameborn, last ember of hope of a dying race.

Roots of Yggdrasil https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256995947/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1706116551 4 reviews (maybe 8? Steam's interface is glitching). No official rating given, but manually looking at them, all Positive. 15% release into Early Access discount. quote:Build settlements, explore the Nine Realms, collect artifacts and upgrade your buildings deck to reach the top of Yggdrasil in this post-Ragnarok roguelike city-builder! Can you survive the end of the world? Lands somewhere in between The Islanders/Dorfromantik and Against the Storm on the puzzle-y/roguelike city builder spectrum. Plans for its Early Access to be a relatively controlled thing ending in approximately 6 months, so what you see is mostly what you get. I really liked it during my play of the demo during one of the NextFests and at a little over $11, it seems worth grabbing.

Completed Saga of the Moon Priestess. It was alright, completed it in about 3 hours. If it was someone's first Link's Awakening or Oracle game it's definitely a good introduction to that type of gameplay. Dungeon items are pretty much a rip from those sets of games but there's only five, dungeon bosses were pretty classic "do the thing to get a damage window." Some room puzzles are pretty junky, the worst one appears about three times total which is just a room with a switch hidden under a nondescript rock.  I'd give it a 6/10 or thereabouts, for only fiveish bucks totally worth it.

That sounds like a series of trashy pulp novels, which only get unironically good after many issues. I will pick it up once the series is confident enough to make a prequel. But there's probably no market for these things nowadays.

Crossposting from the steam thread. This game went into EA recently, but already has a ton of content and is quite fun/creative. It’s called Cube Chaos: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1958340/Cube_Chaos/ One of the steam reviews sums up the gameplay better than I could, quoted below. It feels almost like someone made an autobattler version of John Conway’s game of life, but with an insane number of units/perks/crazy synergies you can create. You end up making combinations like building a rat factory and then layering the ground with catapults to launch them and then also making the rats explode when they hit your enemy. It sort of reminds me of Noita in how you can pull out these crazy combinations. A video of someone playing through it: https://youtu.be/BptlcRR9rlw?si=QC3b51H-8rq1RQ0o Steam review which explains gameplay more: quote:The meat and potatoes of Cube Chaos is definitely its exciting tactical battles. So far it has been very fun.

Not sure if this one has been posted Welcome to Paradize. Currently only a demo, but it's coming out on Steam/Xbox/PS. Release date for the full game 2/29. Sort of a better looking/controlling Project Zomboid with a much lighter tone. The zombie apocalypse happened, but someone figured out a way to mind control zombies and made a settlement called Paradize. You go there but it's not exactly doing well. However, the zombie mind control still (sort of) works. You get a zombie pal to run around with you and help fight and gather stuff, and you can put zombies to work at your base. Demo, so it's free. I DL'd it today and got through the available story in a couple hours, but you can still roam around and fight and craft and stuff. Combat is quite fun. Give your zombie pet a gun! And spiked "armor" which is really just gigantic wooden spikes shoved through their torso. Also you can ride your zombie as a mount to travel faster. Game has fast travel and craft from inventory. Enjoyed the demo enough that I'll probably pick it up on PS, the steam version has a 15% discount if you preorder and it's only $30 to begin with.

So far reviews seem pretty positive, though there has been a bit of a spike with the final release: most of it is probably due to save data not being carried over from early access, but maybe they made some silly final decisions? They did change things around the corruption and metaprogress mechanics, and also wiped progress. It seems like players can switch to the "beta" branch in Steam and get the early access game mechanics back, but that's not as fun as whining I guess. It's a very fun game!

I picked up Granblue Relink (it released a few days early on PSN) and I am enjoying it. It's like JRPG Monster Hunter. And I played the demo for Howl and liked it quite a bit. Into the Breach would be the closest comparison but it's not really that, somewhere between a tactical game and a puzzle game. I'll pick that up eventually.
