Played through Growing Up and found it to be really disappointing. The writing is extremely flat and consists of nothing but cliches that you would see in any generic teenage sitcom. The gameplay is also not great, if you have a little think then it's not difficult to figure out how to snowball your stat gains into the stratosphere and there's literally never a point where you have to make meaningful choices that affect gameplay. I also played through I Was A Teenage Exocolonist, like 4 times already, and that one is absolutely fantastic, both in it's writing and gameplay. Highly recommend. I swear I was not crying after my first playthrough.

I Was A Teenage Exocolonist is extremely good and it also made me realize that all of my favorite media has large amounts of misery in it, which probably says something about me.

I'm enjoying My Time An Portia right now. I avoided it for the longest time because it looked like a farm sim and I played enough of Stardew Valley already, but no, turns out it is actually a "handyman sim" or whatever you want to call it.

I liked Portia a lot but not quite enough to finish it. My biggest problem with it is that all the characters need at least 10 times more writing done for them to not constantly repeat lines.

Arsenic Lupin posted:I loved Spiritfarer up until my most-hated narrative technique: I only seen one game that has managed to make that twist work in a narratively satisfying way and that game had the most well executed mystery plot I have ever seen. Anyone with weaker writing talent than that so should really not be doing that kind of twist.

Graveyard Keeper is fun but I can't find a way to stop it from constantly dropping down to 40 fps. It's borderline unplayable.

The "it was all a dream" is a really lovely way to do an ending and I've only ever seen one single absolutely exceptional game do it well, and even then it did it by not really doing it.

I liked Portia and I'm looking forward to trying Sandrock once it comes out. My biggest problem with Portia was the fact that all the characters needed like 10 times the writing done for them because they get very repetitive very fast. Hopefully Sandrock addressed that.

10tons should just make Crimsonland 2. Although considering that Crimsonland is older than most games, it would probably be called "the Dark Souls of Vampire Survivor games" by the public.

Sandrock seems very good. I already liked Portia quite a bit, despite not being a huge fan of the genre but Sandrock improved a lot of Portia's weak spots. The facial hair options are laughable though. At least give me an option for stubble or something.

Wooooow...Sandrock just decided to gently caress me raw. The combat dungeons have this machine at the beginning of every floor that you use and it gives you a small buff for the rest of the dungeon. Apparently one of the "buffs" it can give you is an absolutely miniscule Lifesteal bonus to your attacks but it also damages you for 1% of your HP every second. Literally none of the enemies in the dungeon were capable of doing that much damage to me even if I just stood there and face tanked them, and none of the other buffs from that machine that I've seen had any maluses. The game just randomly decided "nah, you die now, fucker."

Dirk the Average posted:I've gotten one with a -30% movespeed debuff. So I rerolled it. -30% movespeed debuff. Rerolled again. Still a loving -30% movespeed debuff. Sure, there were attack bonuses, and it's not like time progresses, but still, that was irritating. At this point I don't bother with the random buffs. Wait, you can reroll them? I didn't think to try.

Sandrock also does something unique I don't remember seeing in any other game. There are a couple of characters that take the initiative in asking you to be their SO.

When I played Portia my thoughts were "This is pretty good. I like the focus on improving the village you live in rather than just farming, a lot. I just wish all the characters had 20 times more writing so they wouldn't just repeat their lines constantly." and I was NOT expecting them to actually do it in the sequel. It's really loving good and I'm not even that into this genre.

Countblanc posted:I actually bounced pretty hard off Sandrock for a reason I haven't seen anyone else bring up, the absolute deluge of poo poo you have no context for the second you open a shop menu. I really don't like when I talk to a store npc and am offered like 30-40 things before the game has even taught me basic mechanics, especially when I have an extremely limited selection of things I can craft so it's just regents I can't use and I have to menu search for the items I can actually use. I'm sure this is something people love since it gives you glimpses of the future and lets you choose what to build towards first but for me it just feels overwhelming while I'm still trying to internalize the map, NPCs, mechanics, etc. Just...don't buy anything until you need it?

Fun Times! posted:I'm about 60 hours in (no end in sight yet) and I found it interesting that there haven't been any "upgrade the shops" quests or quests that result in the shops expanding their inventories (though there are quests related to how the shops are run, they don't result in upgrades). The Commerce Guild store is the only shop that adds additional recipes for purchase as the main story progresses. The questline involving the Game Center was fun and I wish there were quests like that for the other shops. Some shops add new stock as you progress through the story. For example once you get access to Iron, shops that sell ore/weapons will have iron-related goods, or once you get access to plastics, the clothing store will start selling stuff made out of plastics.

buglord posted:Man. Even though Sandrock is mechanically more enjoyable than Stardew, the charm factor is lacking. Not entirely sure if it’s because the pixel art of the latter allows imagination to come into play more. That, and since nothing is voice acted, you can kinda make characters sound like whatever you imagine in your head. Sorry, I think you're kind of crazy.
