I just can't get into most Zachtronics games. Feels like a game made for programmers.

Hav posted:It’s good and in keeping with the tabletop. I got an infraction for wandering into a yellow area. Not too far in, but it’s got the flavor down. I just finished it. The final levels get really annoying, but it's a janky love letter done by fans of the series. I actually really like it.

Gobblecoque posted:Starcom: Nexus is a neat little game that left early access a few days ago and it feels like its been a bit overlooked so I thought I'd post about it. The most brief way to describe it is to say that it's basically Star Control 2 in 2019. You command a starship that has been suddenly whisked away to a wholly mysterious part of space and to figure out what has happened you explore, fight, conduct diplomacy, and expand your ship. I haven't finished it yet but from what I've played it's a very solid and faithful successor to Star Control while having enough differences to avoid feeling like it's just retreading old ground. Planet exploration is a textual affair not unlike surveying anomalies in Stellaris rather than the old (and rather tedious imo) resources collection minigame from Star Control. The coolest difference I think is that Starcom takes Star Control's ship customization and dials it up to eleven. You build your ship piece by piece on a hex grid for total control over how your ship looks and performs. It does mean the ships have a bit of a lego appearance to them which some people might love or hate but it also makes for a satisfying progression as you eventually expand your ship from a tiny shuttle to a massive battleship bristling with weapons. This is 100% purchased. Thanks for the recommendation!

deep dish peat moss posted:So this game Space Haven has been on my wishlist for a while and released in EA today. My main problem with this is the ridiculous amount of resource and production stuff you need to make things. Or maybe I'm overthinking it

Philthy posted:I'm hesitant to say it, but this has the possibility of dethroning Dawn of War: Dark Crusade as the top 40k game if they follow through with supporting the game with factions, army painter, campaigns, and game modes (aka "risk" Dark Crusade). This game is so good right now as far as mechanics and polish, that they have an amazing core of a game to turn it into something incredibly special and cement it as the 40k game. I'm into any 40k game as long as it's not a boring space marines game. How does this one stand up?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1721530/The_Captain/ In this retro-inspired adventure game you will have to race back home across the galaxy. Collect new friends on your journey. Make new enemies. You won't be able to save everyone. Who will you leave behind? Which civilizations will you save - or destroy - along the way? Just saw this and played it a bit. Reminds me of judgement rites and star trek 25th anniversary. You're a captain flying home to save earth, and solving various problems in planets, from prime directive violations to respecting alien cultures. It's actually very cool and fun and you should try it!

goferchan posted:I've already gushed about this in several other threads but after playing for a few days I'm confident this one is truly something special. Unless they really drop the ball at the end it will probably be a strong contender in my top list for "games where you wish you could wipe your memory and play them all over again". So far I already refunded it. It starts out like a cool zeldalike but then decides to just randomly kick you in the balls. Not really fun

Tellaris posted:Jesus christ this game was bad. I can forgive a ton of indie jank if the game has a good plot but considering after beating 10(?) bosses all the dialog still looks like this... I'm in it for the duration this game is beautiful Had to look on the steam forums to figure out how to save my goddamn game

High on life is on gamepass. It has mediocre gunplay and the humor is what you'd expect. There's also no way to skip dialogue!

Well I beat dredge. It was a pretty nice game. Both endings were cool! Not very scary though. But still good! Boy. I sure do love engine upgrades.

Xenonauts 2 looks like xenonauts 1. I'm not sure what is different about it but I'm vaguely interested?

PotatoManJack posted:A lot of the negative reviews basically say the same thing; that it's just Xeno 1 with overhauled engine/graphics. I'm gonna wait until it comes out of EA to see if I want to buy it or not, because as much as I love the original xcom game, I think I've probably squeezed as much value out of it as I can. It sucks because I was hoping for a lot of cool expanded stuff but it's apparently exactly the same as 1? What the hell

OzFactor posted:This is a really great game that I'm going to assume is getting bad reviews because the original version is totally broken and was never fixed, and now they're selling this one instead of patching the old one. That sucks! But it's a great puzzle game! Highly recommended if you've never played it before, or if you can get over paying for it again. It doesn't look anything like a might and magic game so I'm very confused.

goatface posted:I've been playing it. It's not working for me that well. There's a lot of bouncing around between locations as you slowly level skills and barely scrape surviving the next combat encounter. Fighting seems spongy despite how easy it is to die, given that you are almost always outnumbered and frequently started in a disadvantageous position. It has the general feel of something they balanced on the experience of their veteran playtesters. I specialized in charisma and didn't have to fight a single time
