So, I was having a look at decent games in the XCOM vein and I saw Fort Triumph https://store.steampowered.com/app/612570/Fort_Triumph/ Does anyone own it and can give me a Yay or Nay on it?

I'm really enjoying Monster Train so far, I liked StS but was never able to come close to beating it and doing repeated runs got less and less fun for me so I just kinda drifted away from it. I haven't tried anything but the first two decks so far but I'm really loving protecting the heavy hitter demon cards behind the huge tanky guys with thorns that you get from the green deck. My best run came from getting the artifact from the start that randomly plays 4 summons on your second floor at the start of every battle. Normally monster size effects how many you can have out on a floor at a time but because of this artifact it always played 4 no matter what, so I buffed the poo poo out of those huge 50/50 beast cards and the huge tank dudes and purged anything from my deck that wasn't a big beefy boi. Eventually my middle floor was so stacked nothing could make it past it.

Monster Train: genius evolution, or more of the same?

Shrecknet posted:I, on the other hand, clicked very well with StS  Monster Train takes the StS formula you know and (really) love, but does change up a lot so that it ends up feeling like a completely different game outside of the deck building aspect of it.

Culling my summer sale purchase and trying to decide between Space Haven and Rimworld. Are they two very different games?

ughhhh posted:Culling my summer sale purchase and trying to decide between Space Haven and Rimworld. Are they two very different games? They're very different games with I guess some similar concepts. In both games you're not directly controlling the people, you set up commands and they carry them out automatically. Rimworld is fantastic and has been through years of EA to be perfected, Space Haven is still very early on and is extremely light on content. If you're looking for a colony management thing I can't recommend Rimworld enough. Edit: That said I think Space Haven will be a very good game and there is still fun to be had in there now but a lot of the systems are underdeveloped or not there at all and the combat/raiding in the game is real bad. I bought it and played for an hour or so before refunding, but will keep it on my wishlist because I want to revisit it maybe a year down the road.

I have 300 hours in Rimworld, and I'm still excited for finding new stuff to do in it. The modding scene is VERY robust so you can make your game your own. Space Haven meanwhile is still... honestly I haven't played it yet but I hear it's good with not yet enough stuff to do in it, and there's not much of a modding scene (yet?) Rimworld is hands down the better value for your money. e: Oh man yeah Space Haven is on Alpha 9, which is to say it's super early access. I'd keep an eye on it if I were you and buy it a lot later. By contrast Rimworld is on 1.1 and fully feature complete. StrixNebulosa fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Jun 29, 2020 |

You should not stand for anything less than mandatory weed every morning. Lungs are replaceable which is important because the Rimworld weed smoke is incredibly damaging, for some reason e.g. game balance.

Oh boy, here we go. After making me wait a few days (which tbf, middle of a sale, I get it, I don't need the money *right now*) Steam support spat back a boilerplate "uh, we don't give refunds after 2 weeks yadda yadda" response which isn't gonna cut it when Ubisoft has basically stolen my copy of AC3.

opinion post time as I sort through my gift train haul - I'm playing things for 5-15 minutes and judging them: Six Ages: it's King of Dragon Pass but new and different! ... unfortunately it's still not my type of game? Like, it just hasn't gelled with me. I respect it but it's getting uninstalled. Rabi-Ribi: the most anime metroidvania ever. I'm down for playing more, as I savequit just as I found the hammer. Space Haven: yep that's an early access game. I'm really looking forward to it! ... but it goes into the waiting for update folder. Harvest: Massive Encounter: "i'm an RTS" no you're not, you're a cool tower defense with resource collection. Yeah I want more. Neo ATLAS 1469: It feels like edutainment but it's certainly not educational, but drat if I'm not enjoying it. It's half visual novel as you get to know your stylized portugese admirals, and half extremely light trading sim with a neat mechanic where you send ships out to explore the world... and you decide if their reports are accurate or not. If you want North America to be a series of islands, that's up to you. I find this one extremely soothing? Partly because there's a touch of hidden object game too as you scroll around the world looking for stuff. Also, yes, I'm a sucker for foreigners not quite getting Western History right. Barotrauma: Too fiddly for me, but I like the atmosphere. I'll watch an LP of this I think. Perimeter: ah right it wants to run in 800x600 and needs a patch from a Russian website to work and I'm not up for that yet. Forget Me Not: Click click click. Yep it's an idle/clicker but I like the weird off-putting aesthetic as I grow kidneys. Undead Horde: interesting twist on the twin-stick-shooter from 10tons, where you lead around skeletons and raise new ones from your defeated enemies.

There is so much simply chill and beautiful stuff in it which may make it easier over time to deal with the more scary poo poo.

Each time I tried to conference someone in, a new chat window opened and cut off voice chat with the other person. I haven't used it in a long time, but my buddies and I would use the chat room of our steam community group and start voice chat from there rather than the 1-on-1 chat windows. Steam's had about 4 or 5 major updates since then so I'm not sure if it still works the same way.

Oxxidation posted:fallen order's combat is generally looser/sloppier and a lot more forgiving, plus there are difficulty options Sonel posted:I would say fallen order is more on the Sekiro side, it has a specific idea in mind for taking out enemies generally and you get force powers upgrades so you can switch things up somewhat. You can get some new outfits for the main character, light saber crystals to change the blade color, skins for your robot buddy and various parts of the light saber to customize into different styles but they are just cosmetic. You use the same light saber that will get a couple upgrades, it's not like dark souls where you have different kind of swords, spears, a big club etc. I also found Fallen order to be okay, and $30 is a fair price for it if you're a fan of star wars. FuzzySlippers posted:Fallen order has difficulty settings so it never requires you to master anything like Sekiro if you just want to screw around with light sabers in a fun great looking game

I'd like to be able to play this and Subnautica, they both look like fun, but I just can't handle them That's rough, these things are never logical and I feel for you  The main thing to know is that Outer Wilds is about puzzles and exploration, it's not a game where you fight. You don't have a weapon and there isn't anything that is waiting to attack you in the dark. You do die a lot because you are in a time loop and you get reset but your deaths are environmental, you run out of air, you take too much fall damage, you fall into a black hole and float in space until your air runs out, the sun goes supernova etc (I don't know if that makes it better or worse for you!). Your character treats this as another puzzle, why am I in a time loop, what's going on here? your deaths are a mechanic and part of the puzzle. I haven't come across too many dark areas in the parts of the game I've played so far, that moon is dark and there's a water planet where the sea is murky, you have a flashlight, you could also turn your gamma down so that it's physically brighter for you on your screen maybe. I don't know whether any of this helps you, but I did want to try and maybe other goons who have played it could add on to it for you.

while outer wilds is indisputably great and I recommend it to almost everyone, there's no getting over the fact that almost every planet exploits some fear which may be hard to get over for some Giant's deep: Thalassophobia Brittle hollow: Acrophobia Ember twin: Claustrophobia Dark bramble: jesus christ why
