Epic's new free game is Last Day of June which seems like an art project.

It's short (3-4 hours) and quite neat and charming, but after million other heart warming/wrenching casual indie adventures it doesn't feel all that special.

I already managed to forget how it ends.

Thanks.

I never got around to actually play this or the first one.. Are they any good, if you liked the original?

Lots of people dislike it for certain old school design decisions, but IMO it's good. It's probably a good idea to look for a character creation guide before starting, though.

Is there any significant difference between the original version and the Directors Cut? I have the original from way back in the day but probably got about halfway through it .

quote:

What is new in the Director's Cut? Wasteland 2 Director's Cut changes a huge number of aspects of the game. Our main new features and changes include:

Graphical overhaul and update to the Unity 5 game engine.
Expanded voice-over with thousands of newly-voiced lines for key characters and scenes.
Precision Strikes system allows you to target individual body parts on enemies in combat, which lets you inflict negative status effects on them.
Perks system lets you pick bonuses for your characters as they level up.
Quirks system lets you pick a personality trait for each custom created Ranger during character creation, with a gameplay-modifying positive and negative quality.
Rebalanced gameplay, including virtually all combat encounters, weapons, loot drops and containers.
Controller support on PC and console. On PC, you can select from keyboard and mouse input, as well as Xbox 360, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 DUALSHOCK 4 controller modes.
There's plenty of smaller additions to be found, of course, but we'll leave those for you to find.

Yeah, not gonna happen. Those are all (old) AAA games from big studios. There might be a couple, but last year all of them were indie hits.

Portia's combat is pretty awful (even compared to other similar games), but otherwise it's quite nice chill crafting game with plenty of story content.

I've never seen goons being this positive about Torchlight 2 (and I agree. It's pretty bland and generic and probably not as well-designed as Diablo 3 and other options, but it was pretty fun to beat once).

How's the Pillars of the Earth game? I liked the miniseries and a bunch of people I know liked the book.

It's good. It's a bit more story heavy "choices matter" adventure (this time there's actually a few meaningful picks), although there's a some traditional puzzles as well.

I'm not familiar with the original material, so I can't comment how it compares, but you can tell that the characters and the setting aren't created by your average video game writer.

What kind of game is Pillars of the Earth? I can't get a read on it. Is it just a visual novel?

The UI is like classic LucasArts adventure games, but the puzzles are pretty simple and realistic so it leans a towards Walking Dead type of games. There's also some scenes that are just text boxes with choices.

There's few important decisions that have pretty big consequences, but it's mostly a linear story.

It's almost hilarious how terrible that scene is. I expected it being at least somewhat overblown, but it really is that bad.

I have a copy of Metro Exodus and Metro Exodus: Extended Edition on steam. Because I bought the season pass, I guess?

Everyone got Enhanced Edition, which requires ray tracing capable hardware.

I don't think you can buy it separately.

It's pretty neat stealth/adventure/immersive sim, but runs out of steam towards the end.


treat posted:

Yeah, it was cute and enjoyable but kind of forgettable seeing as how I remember almost nothing about it. Animations are excellent and it really gives a redwall kind of vibe. It was either very short or I dropped it after four or so hours. I'd recommend giving it a go probably.

It's pretty lengthy (took me 13 hours).

It's a pretty fun little puzzle stealth game. A bit like Commandos etc. but much more linear as there's barely any alternative solutions. The time rewind/management mechanics are somewhat obscure at first, but ultimately pretty neat.

I took the free game when it was posted here and didn't get Rewind, so everything seemed to go relatively fine.

The only people who 'lost' anything were those few chumps who refunded the original to get the free version and some folks who would have bought the original at the last minute if it wasn't free.

Well, half as old as the rest of the series is surely 'relatively recent'.
