It's also hella dark and every time a tiny spooder bites your rear end, the camera shakes like crazy. And the opening unskipable monologue is some of the boringest, dumbest exposition I've seen. Stumbled around in the starting cave for half an hour, managed to beat two spooders and a skellington, then died and said gently caress it.

Sleeveless posted:Terra Nil is a reverse city-builder where you're working to rebuild ecosystems on devastated land in the wake of an ecological disaster. It was explicitly created as a counter to games like Factorio that are all about turning alien landscapes into stripmined hellscapes and especially with all the wildfires raging across the planet right now it's really cathartic. It's still in development but it's also pay-what-you-want including just downloading it for free. This looks pretty cool, but it also made me wish for a full-on complex ecosystem sim. Like, cross this with Equilinox and Cloud Gardens and a bit of SimEarth.

Check out The Eternal Castle as well. It's pretty short - I finished it in 2,5hrs, though there's a new game+ and some hidden stuff, but the style and music is out of this world. The visuals are also pretty cool for being 2-bit color, it's like a super stylish synthwave music video.

Mode 7 posted:I've been trying to get into this but I feel like I'm missing something with the melee combat, I keep getting ruthlessly destroyed. It's been a while so I don't remember if there's some trick to the disco part, but combat is pretty straightforward - you should be able to find a weapon somewhere nearby and just mash through them. If you do the city level first (the top right one), there's an item that boosts your melee damage there (and another one for stealth).

StrixNebulosa posted:This came out in December 2020 but it has like 7 reviews so I don't think anyone's heard of it: This is cool, has a few amazing scenes and unique atmosphere, but I feel like the description makes it seem to be way more than it actually is. It's nonlinear in the sense that at the end you can choose one of 4 endings, and the whole thing takes 45 minutes tops. Still recommend at the price of a cup of coffee, but don't expect Pathologic like some people are comparing it to in the comments.

StarkRavingMad posted:Yeah, I played it for about an hour and ended up refunding it. It wasn't bad, it just didn't do anything more than so many other games of this type and the humor really fell flat for me. And I usually like dumb humor. I'll just wait for the new Subnautica to come out. Same, plus the grind for resoures combined with the pretty strict oxygen limit just eroded all my will to play.

Cardiovorax posted:You can avoid killing animals for the most part, if you don't mind never really getting any new gear or leveling up. Since most gear or skills are just useful for killing things better, you wouldn't need them anyway. Just walking around, exploring the environments and taking in-game photographs is a fairly valid playstyle. That's true I guess. I tried it for a while but couldn't get into it as purely a hiking simulator, I think I'd like some more incentive and progression

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I think the thing that really dampens my enthusiasm about this game is that it feels like there's not just one layer of RNG that can screw you (that would probably be manageable) but I keep running into situations where even if the right planets are in the vicinity of each other, whoops you can't make a connection because they're one centimeter too far apart, or even worse there's a planet in the way that if it were 3 degrees to the right everything would be fine. Feels really bad That's all valid points, but at the same time the game gives you plenty of tools to alleviate that. There's tech to move planets, there's relays, there's tech to destroy planets that are blocking you, there's a crapload of alternate 'recipes' for planets, there's robot<->human swapping tech, and then there's energy which you can substitute for anything. Imo the starting council setup that you get in the tutorial is strong as heck tech-wise.

I almost grabbed it recently but it's kind of a steep price tag for what it looks like ($19.99), especially still in early access. But it looks cool and I'm still tempted. I played the demo a while back and it's pretty good. Plenty of different tools and brushes, very chill

Play posted:Interregnum Chronicles: Signal is a first person narrative game set in a space station above earth. You do get to explore the space station, complete tasks, etc. but primarily it is a story-based game. Tried this one but it's kinda just a chore to play. The incremental parts are ok I guess but kinda simplistic, and to move between them you have to trudge through the same empty corridors dozens of times. The entire loop is: play the incremental part until you get an upgrade -> go to the AI terminal to get the next few lines of story -> maybe read an email -> repeat. And the story is not even that good. Hard pass.

Intravenous just released, looks like a hotlinemiamilike, but with a bit of Splinter Cell or Deus Ex mixed in. There's more of a focus on stealth and crawling through vents, but you can also go guns blazing and combat seems very lethal. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1486630/Intravenous/

Play posted:That being said farming XP isn't super advantageous I don't think, you get a lot more XP for finishing quests and sidequests and the game seems designed to not encourage grinding. You can farm components and stuff in certain areas if you want but you can beat the game just fine without any grinding/farming at all. Was about to add that, there's no reason to go back anywhere if there isn't a sidequest to do. There's also no randomized loot in the diablo sense - you have a pool of predetermined items and weapons, each with set stats and abilities. Sometimes enemies might drop something, but you can also just buy it from the shops.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/917720/Gamedec/ Yeah, I gave it a try, but unfortunately the writing is not very good. Every character speaks with the same voice and it's overall just kinda bland. Which for a no-combat adventure/rpg game is a cardinal sin. Also ran into the first puzzle mechanic, where I had to find some kind of invisible glitches, but every time I picked the wrong one, the whole thing would reset and honestly I don't have time for this kind of tedious bullshit. Just all around meh.

Palpek posted:Is it like the 5th timeloop game that released this year? 12 Minutes, The Returnal, Deathloop, The Forgotten City, The Outer Wilds DLC (counts), so it's at least the 6th. Sure that the concept was always there but it ramped up in 2021. Probably because it's a way to implement roguelite mechanics that became popular in recent years into more story-based games AND you can reuse game assets. I wonder if we see more major games going with it. Also that weird 5d time travel chess game was this year I think?

The graphics of these games don't need to be amazing, but you need to not sneer automatically when you see them. When your bad flashesque blobmen look worse than a tile fake-ascii tilesheet, it's time to rethink your art direction. I could maybe excuse it if the game is at least original, but lmao at this, it's literally a dwarf reskin of Rimworld even down to the UI buttons

So Peglin is out in EA today and it's pretty good so far. Peggle/panchinko gameplay with Slay the Spire-like roguelike mechanics, where you build a "deck" of balls with special abilities, get relics with more special abilities, and progress down a branching path towards bosses.
