Someone mentioned super hot when people weren’t melting down over EGS. Is the new expansion / sequel good? Should I finally pick up this game?

I think I've found the Ooblets club designed for goons.  This is me and my Ooblets preparing for a dance battle.

Feelin' a bit gated in Ooblets, all the projects require a bunch of Clothlets and afaik the only way to get it is randomly foraging?

Donnerberg posted:Beyond a Steel Sky came out today. I've been thinking about giving it a shot just because it's cyberpunk, but apparently it has quite a pedigree. It's the sequel to a 90s point and click adventure game called Beneath a Steel Sky, and it's made by guy that did all the Broken Sword games. This got lost in the Ooblets talk, but so far I'm really enjoying Beyond a Steel Sky. It feels like its got the production values of a Telltale, without the important choice stuff. Just a really good old school adventure, the hacking stuff seems interesting so far, but I'm hoping they do something a bit more complicated with it as the game goes on.

I think there are seeds in the shop, but they're quite expensive.

You can grind money reasonably fast by completing quests and leveling up.

EEE! Re balloon. Note that if you have a shiny ooblet and put it into an ooblet coop, it is supposed to start producing oobsidian.

Twee aversion to any kind of violence or conflict in games is more about appealing to a particular stripe of adult than being kid friendly. If the concept is not to your liking may I recommend literally the entire rest of videogames.

I just 100% Ghost of Tsushima last night. It was the perfect open world game for me. Lots of great content without an overwhelming huge map like Witcher 3 (which I never finished) or AC: Odyssey (finished, but never fully explored). The story was great. The ending of the game was gut wrenching and perfect. The side quests for the other minor characters were great. The combat never got boring. The QoL stuff like the whole map getting revealed when you liberate all the camps in an area was perfect for someone like me who likes to explore a little too much. If the game had a map like Skyrim or Witcher 3 or Assassin's Creed, I'd probably be overwhelmed by side content and exploration and put it down. This game might feel short for people expecting huge amounts of content for an open world game though especially for the price point. I'm used to playing indie games, so dropping 60 on a AAA game is scary, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. I mean I enjoyed it enough to write up a post so...

There's a new game, Creaks, by the publishers of Machinarium. (runs around in circles screaming) Machinarium is a beautiful, intellectually challenging point-and-click adventure. It often made me laugh. There were very, very few puzzles I had to look up. The visual style is distinctly Czech; it reminds me of some Czech animation I've seen. I am delighted to find a new game by these people. Creaks Steam page.

Ooblets update: I'm 27 hours in, and I'm done with the current content. It's a campaign-based game, and it quickly (for me, anyway) gets boring just growing crops and getting paid for them. I'm still happy I bought early access, especially given the discount + an old Epic Launcher coupon, and I'll check back in a month or so to see what's changed.

Someone mentioned this in the steam thread but there is a Simgolf like game that just came out in early access. From the makers of the Space Pirates and Zombies games. No idea if it's any good. Simgolf is one of my favorite games ever though. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1144020/GolfTopia/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPry9yu6Ng8

Carrion got released today. The game lets you play a gross fleshy tentacle monster. And you can eat people.quote:CARRION is a reverse horror game in which you assume the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origin. Stalk and consume those that imprisoned you to spread fear and panic throughout the facility. Grow and evolve as you tear down this prison and acquire more and more devastating abilities on the path to retribution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXT7UO_7JB8 I played the demo. It's pretty creepy/gross. Post impressions if you've bought it. https://carrion.game/ https://www.gog.com/game/carrion https://store.steampowered.com/app/953490/CARRION/ Also available on Switch/XBOX.

It's the sequel to a 90s point and click adventure game called Beneath a Steel Sky, and it's made by guy that did all the Broken Sword games. Huh. That's a surprise. I strongly recommend to anyone who likes Point&Click games to play the original Beneath a Steel Sky. It's really good, and it's FREE on GOG.

luxury handset posted:amanita is one of those indie studios that just quietly ticks along being super good in their niche and i love everything they do More Creaks thoughts now I've actually played it. It's all 2-d: you're a flat object against a flat surface. You can move (or jump) up, down, left and right, and interact with a few designated objects (which say [Space] if you pass by them.) Art is gorgeous, as usual. I'm still getting the hang of the puzzles, which require you to get past obstacles. The earliest puzzles require you to get past a mechanical dog; if you fail, it will bite you and set you back to the beginning of that puzzle. There's a bit of timing involved: you need to lure the dog in various ways, then run up a ladder before it bites you.

itry posted:Carrion got released today. The game lets you play a gross fleshy tentacle monster. And you can eat people. I played a couple hours last night with PC Game Pass. It's kind of like a light MetroidVania - you unlock new abilities that grant access to new areas. However there's no map and as such the level design so far has been very very streamlined, which I liked. There were only one or two spots where I didn't immediately know what I was supposed to do next because the game usually puts you right by the next unlocked path. One of the biggest reasons I usually end up losing interest in the regular genre is that I get lost or stuck and can't be arsed to figure out where to go to use my new ability. The unique theme also makes it much more interesting to me. For combat encounters the level design usually offers side or vent-like paths so you can really feel like a creeping monster as you stalk people and get the jump on them - and it's actually pretty necessary as the enemies get more dangerous. So yeah I enjoyed it and plan to keep playing. MrXmas fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jul 24, 2020 |

PERPETUAL IDIOT posted:Is it a goblins-like adventure game where each map is a puzzle? Or is there travelling around, talking to characters, backtracking and such? If you want a more traditional point-and-click, Amanita released a charming small game (an hour and a half, maybe?) called "Pilgrims" last fall, which I highly recommend. Interesting mechanics, great art, and a cheeky sense of humor. One of your tasks is to help a devil snatch a priest who sold the devil his soul.

itry posted:Carrion got released today. The game lets you play a gross fleshy tentacle monster. And you can eat people. I really wish it had a map or more intuitive level design. At least for me I’ve spent a decent amount of time lost now that I’ve gotten deeper into it. Overall though it is still pretty fun and I’d probably recommend it. They really pulled off the animations and the feel of the gameplay is really unique/evocative of the theme.

Hey goons, our game Necronator: Dead Wrong launches out of Early Access this week, and it's on sale for the first time right now (20% off). There's a free exclusive cosmetic DLC that only folks who bought the game in Early Access will get. We've added a fuckload of content and polish since it launched in Early Access back in Feb and we've got more content coming post-launch. Necronator is a run-based deck-builder mashed with a mini-RTS game: the card & relic synergy gameplay you get in Slay the Spire or Monster Train in a whole different context. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ENPYp9h8SM Please check it out and leave a review if you dig it! Modern Wolf is publishing more cool poo poo this year like Ostranauts (the follow-up to NEO Scavenger; think Rimworld meets The Expanse) and Kosmokrats, a Soviet zero-gravity comedy puzzle game. goon bless

I continually get lost and then stop playing, and then go back and do it again. A map would be very helpful for my dumb rear end. Or some kind of indicator as to where i should be going.

Mistayke posted:This thing still have that reinforcement timer? That made me refund it way back. If not, is there at least an option to disable it? We completely reworked the reinforcement system based on player feedback. Now if it ticks down, the enemy gets one small reinforcement wave and the clock resets. After two minutes, the enemy gets a bigger reinforcement wave, and so on. It’s no longer an instant win button for the AI and now makes longer fights more interesting we think. Let me know what you think if you give it a go!
