loving hell if you can't stand being teased about avoiding Russian games, when the game is actually made by a Russian dev who seems to have moved to Cyprus and probably isn't directly bankrolling Putin, then I don't know what to tell you. Make your purchasing decisions, that's fine.

I urge the use of the ignore button if a particular poster annoys you. If you think we're handling something badly, hit the feedback thread.

maybe if anyone wants to talk politics of any kind they can do it outside of the 'thread for new video games that are coming out' as there are many places to do that.

I don't think your 'you should be teased for not wanting to buy Russian games since the dev lives in cyprus' is a very good position as you're just stating your own political opinion in a thread that shouldn't have anything to do with politics. Just probate anyone who talks politics in a thread that has nothing to do with that, then probate yourself I guess for the same reason

Nah so long as it doesn't become some kind of huge discourse I think it's all right.

Looking at the trailer, I know I hate the restaurant sim style games (Customer has a balloon over their head, timer starts, make their order before they get mad). How much of that is part of the gameplay of DTD?

It's about - eh, a quarter. You spend more time diving and fishing than you do serving in the restaurant, but it's not *not* there.

Don't know if anyone else here watches it, but the dude who runs this channel does several videos a week highlighting the promising indie releases of the week as well as games that might have slipped under people's radar. He's got lots of videos going back several years, so it's definitely worth checking out if you don't mind your wishlists and Steam libraries ballooning in size.

Seems to be a good-natured, silly little platformer-explorer sort of thing. 433 out of 434 reviews are positive, and this thing often tops the charts of SteamDB's 'hidden gems' list.

86% out of 1,177 reviews.

Apparently a version of the board game Dominion (the deckbuilder, not to be confused with Dominions, the strategy/wargame) just got released on Steam? General consensus is it's okay, if maybe a little bit too compact of a UI. The two big problems seem to be the with multiplayer servers occasionally dropping and the price of the expansion packs, with people arguing in the comment section as to whether they're highway robbery or justified by being cheaper than the physical version. But the base game is free, so it's worth checking out if you're into this sort of thing.

This was in EA for ages! The physical deckbuilder is a great game, not sure about the expansion pricing here though. I suppose if you're big into Dominion it's worth it.

Not sure if this was posted already, but Svarog’s Dream is outon Steam now. It is a wild fever dream of a game that probably shouldn’t exist but it is apparently my jam because I have finally stopped mainlining Balatro in order to play this.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2004640/Svarogs_Dream/

It’s a slow paced ARPG, with unique skills and character builds. The graphics are between “retro” and “terrible”. But because it’s slower-paced, and things hit VERY hard, you have to do some clever movement or downtime management.

What elevates this thing is that they made a responsive world. Events pop up frequently as you adventure. Werewolf attack in the forest at night (yes, there are day / night cycles and weather- both of which have game impact), or slavers attacking a town. Some of these are random; others are caused by a decision you made an hour ago. You have freedom to steal from NPCs, piss off entire factions, and side with anyone you like. There is a dedicated “pet” button that you can use as a bear chews on you for a chance to tame it. You start out dead and eventually kill god (or do you?).

Finally, this weird pile of insanity is a kind of roguelite. Death is meant to happen. They warn you in the opening menu to please play on Ironman mode. You should.

It looks awful but I am enjoying it and i didn’t know I needed this in my life.

Bonus for me is that it doesn’t appear to be a crazy-long game or an infinite ARPG in spite of the style.

This seems the right kind of bonkers, and I like your username, so it's going on the wishlist

I honestly kind of miss them, I loved these kinds of programs as a kid even though they're objectively not a game in most senses of the word. I remember as a kid I had some "game" where you collected eggs and they hatched into pets that were more or less very low-maintenance Tamagotchi-style things, I can't remember what it was called for the life of me. I do remember it was one of the first programs I encountered where you could get different eggs from various places online, so I was always on the lookout for unusual ones.

Have you looked at little horror game Kinito Pet? It's pretty clever in some of the ways it riffs on those desktop pets.

anyway I'm going to buy the desktop duck
