Undergrowth. Four years and the main dev's like "maybe I should start working on some actual story and missions". He's still testing various models, though.

How could I forget. The concept is cool I'll give them that, but they're basically allowing people pay to them for messing around with their tech demo, I'll be damned if it's ever going to coalesce into an actually playable game.

Most of the game is suplexing/kicking mooks and finding hidden trinkets to sell to buy gun upgrades. There are only a few puzzles in the game and none of them are very hard. The boss fights kind of suck since most of them have QTE stuff you have to deal with, then again, the game has a ton of QTE's in general. It's also like the only game where the escort parts don't bother me any.

RE4 is one of my favorite games to find trinkets since it never feels like a collect-a-thon, outside the blue medallion part at the very beginning and that's optional. Shoot birds/nests whenever you see them and know that some of treasure you find can have jewels placed in them to increase their value. Any treasure like this will usually say "there's divots for placing something in" or something along the lines.

I beat the PC version a few weeks ago and it really holds up well once you get used to the controls. Just a really fun game with the right amount of goofiness.

I actually played through the whole game yesterday and was surprised by how much it still owns. I mean, it'll look dated gameplay wise on the surface because of the tank controls and poo poo, which they tried to modernise with subsequent sequels, but it's actually a really mechanically complex game with some of the best 3rd person shooter combat there is. I love the whole interplay of crowd control when shooting certain body parts. I mean, do you shoot someone in the face and risk a melee range kick? Or do you shoot them in the foot to knock them over while you deal with someone else? It's something almost entirely absent from The Evil Within which sucks because it's the best thing about RE4.

It's also a hilarious game, I forgot how funny it was. "Your right hand comes off?"

One of my all-time favorites. RE4 is really good at making the player feel the game is bigger than it really is, just like Metal Gear Solid does. You can catch fish in the lake, the enemies are stronger at night, there are unlockable weapons and costumes. Even arranging the equipment is fun somehow. And it's one of the very few games that doesn't make escort mission a loving slog.

After several patches each there's very little reason not to use the BG1 and 2 Enhanced Editions if you have them. That said, that process will likely need to be repeated for IWD:EE, so feel free to hold off until "Yo this poo poo is broke/not broke" starts circulating.

I guess their definition of "Skill based platforming" is "there is only literally one movement/button pattern that gets you through each room or else you die". I am no fan of games that require that level of memorization to advance.

Not really. Use the GOG version and the Big World Project to mash BG1 and BG2 together into one game instead. Same effect, no extra cost and you get to play in both game worlds at once.

Tits aside this is the most generic looking poo poo ever.

Buggy.
Arguably worth it when all is said and done, but it's taking the developers a long time to bugfix the games. BG2 EE still hasn't received a patch to fix most of the big issues over a year since its release, though apparently it is still being worked on.

I'd certainly wait for a sale, but I really like what they've been doing with the PC version so far. They've been consistently releasing updates with new and cool scenarios and stuff. Also a Scenario Creator that lets you do some really cool stuff, with steam workshop to share scenarios and mods and stuff. If you liked Pandemic or whatever, it's worth looking at whenever it next goes on sale.

Not really; game play eliminates got ripped out (which is amazing considering how few were there in the first place), the story is somewhere between boring and dumb, and it just falls apart the further into the game you get (where the game just becomes "Find item x for no real reason to proceed").

Yes and no. It's not a bad game but the survival aspect is toned down to put a focus on puzzle solving. If you're looking for the pure horror of the original then no, you won't find it here.

The sequel is not just worse, it's actually bad, which is quite the achievement after how good The Dark Descent was.

Well, when you hand the development of your sequel over to the guys that shat out Dear Esther you can only expect so much.

Honestly, that platformer doesn't even look bad. It seems kinda bog-standard and the attack animation is bad, but other than that I doubt it'd get any thought at all if not for the girl you play as.
