Cohh didn't experience any performance issues though he acknowledged a) others are and b) his PC is beefy - much more than mine. the game is beautiful to look at, but so far I haven't seen anything beyond the gorgeous visuals. the roadmap is also vague and I have enough to play these ays.

midnight77 posted:The Planet Crafter The same publisher released a game called Lightyear Frontier which I bought yesterday, and it sounds similar although less complex. You explore and restore the regions of the planet (cleaning, destroying noxious puddles, pulling weeds), mine and chop trees/cut down bushes, then go back to your camp and plant seeds, upgrade your camp, create fodder for the wildlife (which you can then use to feed the wildlife) and upgrade your mech. It's still in early access, but I'm already hooked on it. The only negative reviews I saw were from people who either completely ignored the game details and are now unreasonably upset ("Why no combat, why can't I fight with my mech") or people who've "finished" the game already, which I think means they've explored everything so they think they're done. So, completely missing the point of the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1677110/Lightyear_Frontier/ raven77 fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Apr 19, 2024 |

To be fair, unless Hades 2 turned out to be a complete disaster that destroyed Supergiant utterly, it was always going to be good enough for at least a positive review just by virtue of being "more Hades".

unless you wanna save 4 bucks on No Rest for the Wicked I'll toss in my two cents Its gorgous, the thing thats hard to convey from the video is that 2d looking sketched look is in fact 3d objects with amazing texture work the combat need fine tuning, its neat but its a pain in the rear end to aim properly things that are line attacks the gameplay however is a sharp mix of ye olde dark souls and some context ocerna of time jumping and such the world is like souls not completely open world but has multiple paths many of witch are hidden my 3080 was at 100% gpu usage multiplayer is not in but coming soon Multiplayer could make this a hoot as the ragdoll is fantastic. also coming off of diablo 4 (yeah i know) this actually has nice environmental design and has excellent foreground elements to make the world feel more alive (lookin at you diablo)

I also like that game. The one that's from the ori devs forgot what it's called. Immaculate vibes so far. A nice mix of 3/4 view dark souls and Diablo style looting. Plus impeccable painterly art style, and a nice vertical feel with the ability to climb and jump. Haven't gotten very far though

I found it much weaker than the first one. The gameplay loop is different, a lot more moving around from location to location and dying to jump scares. The length is about the same as the first one (~2-3 hours), but because of this change there's a lot less content in terms of story. Also has some intermittent performance issues, but nothing too bad. Overall not horrible, but I'd suggest waiting for a discount.

Army battles and duels exist and my only complaint so far has been that menu navigation is pretty slow in battles as well as on the field with this completely unnecessary delay on switching between inventory, formation, etc. Game rules other that that though, I kickstarted it what- four, five years ago?

I'll be honest I thought Hundred Heroes was pretty dull and incredibly slow-moving in the first hour or two. Then after I recruited a couple heroes I had no guidance after that and couldn't find anyone else to recruit or a single worthwhile thing to do so I gave up. The combat is also just not that interesting, I was hoping for some kind of twist to make it more interesting. Combat also takes a long time and it seemed the whole thing was just sluggish and wasting my time. Maybe it gets better later or, more likely, it's just not for me Anyways, this looks fun https://store.steampowered.com/app/1627890/Ants_Took_My_Eyeball/ https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/257017150/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1713591811 quote:Ants Took My Eyeball is a 2D action platformer roguelite.
