Norco is a deeply unsettling and fascinating point-and-click narrative game that you should definitely take a few hours to check out

Is Brothers the remake? I played that years ago and broke into tears. Admittedly I was depressed and working swing shift but still.

Nah, it’s just the Xbox One version that has been on Game Pass before

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I don't think I've ever seen another game with as weird of an atmosphere as Norco

The only thing I can sort of compare it to is maybe Disco Elysium? Disco is better but that's not throwing shade on Norco.

The Pathologic games and Kentucky Route Zero spring to mind, but both comparisons are imperfect.

I love Kentucky Route Zero but it’s hard to recommend to anyone that can’t handle ambiguity. It’s southern gothic magical realism, and you have to just go along with what’s happening because there’s very little logical sense to most of it. It’s a goat though imo

No, though it was a timed PlayStation console exclusive. It was developed by Enhance, who previously did Rez Infinite, Lumines Remastered and Tetris Effect.

It is indeed coming to Xbox on that date.

Norco was my favorite game of the year for whatever year it came out in and I've been desperately searching for anything like it since.

The music is wonderful, the game is beautiful, the story is sad and magical and the graphics are like if someone made a game of the first season of True Detective on the SCUMM engine. I loving love it.

Awesome stuff! Especially the new difficulty options and interior ship decoration. Probably should have been there since the start, but we are where we are.

Can't wait to jump back into Starfield, but Fallout 4 has sucked me in again for the moment. Dammit Todd.

I think they've released updates every six weeks since launch. This is a bigger one though.

I hope ‘Added dialogue camera toggle’ means you can switch 3rd person conversations, like how it was in Fallout 4. Lemme see my goofy rear end characters

e: Oh that’s cool. It’s like in the Forza games where you can deliberately make specific gameplay elements harder for a xp boost

Yup.

In addition to the major features coming in this update, there are also a ton of quality-of-life improvements like the ability to toggle the dialogue camera off. Now you’ll be able to watch scenes play out from your chosen perspective.

Yeah, it is like Forza's system which I like. It's where all the survival stuff is as well so you can have planets give you afflictions and stuff. Can change carry capacity but if you give yourself more it means you are getting 8 percent less xp. Pretty cool way to do it.

e: or I should say the afflictions can be modified and made worse, harder to heal

Can't pet Crouton on Xbox :saddumb: Cursor too slow and Norco has no option for speed

e: minigames with a different control scheme don't make the cursor disappear so it's floating around, indifferent to the action. I'm not sure if this platform was tested

2 slow for me tbh, tried 15-20 minutes of it and noped out. I'm definitely not in the mood for an adventure hunt the pixel text heavy game, and I did not like the setting nor the graphics, and the story starts depressing and seems to move into even more depressing territory, plus adding religion to it, so...

Disclaimer: I also hated Kentucky Route Zero, not sure if it's the southern style super-americana-dystopia theme or what but hard pass on this. It seems well done, so for anyone who likes those genres, definitely try it, can't go wrong for the price of "Free on GamePass", but to me this is like one of those A24 films, I get what it's going for and it seems well made, but I'd rather watch something else
