"PS1 graphics" have shifted to mean "retro style" these days. The reaction I saw to Gwimbly in the recent Smiling Friends last month shows that a lotta people are nostalgic for that early 3D.


Also kids associate it with Minecraft.

I will simply buy the standard edition, play two hours of it, look at the map, sigh and close the game. Namaste.

You've still got a year and a half before the game finally releases, so maybe things will change by then?

The ubi sub is like 15 bucks right? Even if you take 2 months to finish it then thats significant savings.

It seems silly to care about which store it releases on when it's already going to need the Ubi launcher so might as well just get it from their storefront.

I forgot that's a thing. I'd sub for a month if reviews say it's another Odyssey. If it's another Valhalla then I'll just pass entirely.

Is Steam downloading slow to anyone else right now. It's not Tuesday, I've already cleared the cache, and my internet is functioning normally.

usually if that's happening you can get by it by changing download regions to a less populated/congested one
i've only ever noticed it being a problem when downloading super popular game releases day1 though

Mullet Madjack - Today

review scores:

TechRaptor posted:

Combining elements from Ghostrunner and Bulletstorm in a 90s-anime-inspired package, slaying robobillionaires is a blast in Mullet MadJack -- though, it is a bit short.
Very Positive on Steam (99% of 126 reviews)

Lorelei & the Laser Eyes (Simogo, developer of Sayonara Wild Hearts) - May 16

87 on Metacritic. Early reviews:

https://twitter.com/robinbombus/status/1790775999006703821

Homeworld 3 scored an 80 on OpenCritic but has mixed reviews on Steam (46%, ouch)

Steam Reviews posted:

to be honest, I am beyond disappointed. None of the mystery, impending doom and sense of vastness that the previous games' stories had. Super shallow plot.

quote:

How can a 25 year old game be more believable and immersive and convincing than a brand new one?


ROBOBEAT (rhythm-based FPS) - Out now
has a 78 on OC, Very Positive on Steam (99% of 148 reviews)


Athenian Rhapsody (comedy RPG) - Out now
Very Positive on Steam (96% of 96 reviews)

Read Only Memories: Neurodiver (sequel to 2048: Read Only Memories) - May 16

Shacknews posted:

I’m still thinking about Read Only Memories: Neurodiver well after I finished the story. It’s such a pitch-perfect execution on its premise, mixing the worlds of modern cyberpunk with ancient PC technology and western anime fandom. I had a blast spending several hours with these characters and the world they inhabit, and would gladly have spent several hours more.

RPG Fan posted:

I liked the game and think it’s good, but it left me noticeably unsatisfied. The characters ES88 meets are pretty cool, but their development stopped before their storylines gained any traction. Once the credits rolled, my reaction was, “Huh? That’s it?”

lastly, for the point & click heads out there, An English Haunting - Later this week (brief delay due to cert issues)


Also this week, the scifi metroidvania-adjacent GenoPanic (5/17), Ghost of Tsushima DC (PSN required for co-op, 5/16), Die by the Blade (5/16), Morbid: the Lords of Ire (5/17), Arctic Eggs (5/16), Cozy Caravan (5/16), Baladins (out now)

Dread Delusion players - how hard is it to find Save points? Or does the game have an Autosave feature?

Not having a Map out of the gate, a Teleport Home spell, and inability to just Quick Save has me reluctant to put more time into the game. I find myself struggling to get into things I can't simply just put down the moment I want to. Hate needing to go find somewhere to Save or whatever, and navigating back to where I was without a map sounds a little annoying?

Only 90 minutes in but I found save crystals and autosave spots very regularly so far. You get the teleport-back-to-last-save-crystal spell super quick too.

You can get the map really quickly once you finish the tutorial zone, the first npc on the path tells you where it is.

It depends. If you want something to show you games you probably never heard of or wouldn't have seen otherwise, it works well.

If you're looking for something to show you games you'd be interested in, then yes, it's crap.
